I'm sure this option has been brought up MANY MANY times, but I have yet to see it. Why not make a public 2 arena, identical to pub map now, with old ship settings? Let the zone make their choice by playing one or the other. Give it one month to make an accurate poll of usage per pub arena, and at the end of the month, use whichever ship settings the zone used most. Oh, SYSOPS, no point telling us we used to have that. 1. there was no one room that stayed up all the time, like "pub" now. Someone could type ?go oldmap and "make" one, but that doesn't exactly invite a lot of people in. 2. There would be no mods or sysops in the player-made "oldmap" room to, for lack of a better term, baby-sit. This means there is no official sanction. That, too, would not be conducive to a true poll of players wishes. I urge you guys to give this option consideration. This would stop most of the ship setting polls you're ignoring at present. I mean, come on..... you advertise this forum for players to post their opinions and help shape the zone. Well, let us shape the zone? It's obvious the majority of the speaking public want old settings. Why not consider it? I have outlined a safe way to do so. You have all your players still, give them a clear choice, use that choice to give the majority what they wish for. My two cents.
