This ultimatum is ultimate because if it is not done as soon as possible, the zone will be shut down due to lack of interest. Smaller changes can be made, but they will only be temporary fixes. SpiderNL was charged with creating new items for the sake of population. He did and it kept the people interested. Recently, he has become inactive. I do not blame him. He has a life outside of this game and I respect that. However, as soon as he did stop developing, the population plumetted. If new gameplay is not introduced, player base will drop to zero. I understand Brain is a very busy fellow. He also has a life outside of this game. I do not expect him to drop everything on his plate for a tiny game community like us. What he can do is appoint someone else to oversee the development of Conquest. There are many talented people in the SubSpace community that do have time and interest in the game. If it is not done soon, people will eventually forget about this place. Their interests will lie elsewhere and not even bother checking for updates.
