Don't Blame the Staff...

[Sear]

Nah.

Look, I admire the effort. I get it. Fight nights on a blue box, that's cool.

This server didn't die because people on the forums bitched and whined, though. That's silly.

The server died because staff were not passionate about pvp servers to begin with, and because a low-pop server needs some design concessions to be sustainable.

Which I understand. Why waste the time on a few shitheads when blue is your breadwinner and what you personally liked better?

But, supposing any of them ever read this, I'll make the same suggestion I did 15 years ago: just reset the server. Do that every two years. Increase the exp rate. That's it, and that's all. Now you have a seasonal red server that people will play. Because somehow modern pvp MMORPGs still suck.

Love,
One of those red server shitheads, who ran VZTZ back in 2008 and has since spent 17 years in the gaming industry.
