so whats going on here, people

It's a game. Every good [and bad] game has its end. There are always new good [and bad] games that sprout.

 

How can you possibly, realistically, and logically think for a second that a zone, a server, or even a game that you think is great would forever sustain constant population at levels you consider satisfying and acceptable?

good point, but this is a community run by volunteers. Time for people to step up. Take what was great and make it greater. Dr Brain has done his share. D1st0rt, Arnk, Cerium... many people laid down their time to make the zone what it is. In a community of volunteers, when responsible rise up and do responsible things. Things don't die.

Will we just let everspace take over??? cause it will.

 

I'm leaving out many people

I know... many people have made maps, and contributed to items, moderation, making the zone a fun place to be.

 

I'm on disability. I have a lot of time on my hands... First priority is to figure out something I can do when I'm off disability. But even with that I have plenty of time.

 

I'm thinking about hunkering down, learning some ASSS, and stop whining on forums. But that's gonna take some time.

 

I have an event arena which is going to require a lot of programming, dr brain said if I can get it up in my own zone he'd take a look at it.... that was a few years ago... but the idea is golden, and worth my time. I'm not gonna sit here and say Hyperspace is dying. I'm gonna do something.

Dream and dream, but I would like to know where you intend to get players out of thin air. If your dramatizing of ego-pumping eye of the tiger rallying is to introduce such revolutionary changes to bring about results as you dream, as countless people in the past (myself included) have already done not just with this game but even zones, why is the concurrent daily population dwindling steadily without a care to the rallies of the past and now?

 

Summary: no matter how pumped and dreamy you are, the concurrent population of this game has been gradually declining regardless of the rallies of you, myself, and countless others. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I may be a bit more dreamy-eyed than many... or anyone here....

 

But I'm also listening to the practical advise given by Brain....

...

And unless someone else steps up to the plate, the zone will probably die from stagnation.

Corey's and Spidernl's work has obviously helped to slow the decline, but only time will tell if it's enough to reverse the tide.

 

Do you believe things can come back from the dead? I do.

 

Population dies when things get old and stale. It's a fact of games. Change or die. But population never designed hyperspace and population can't save it. Who cares if nobody is here when I finish my "stupid little arena" idea. While you're busy crying the zone is dying, I'll be busy breathing life into the work of my hands.

 

Talk is cheap. I'm done talking.

I wasn't crying about any zone or game dying. I was only stating the reality.

Feel free to let us know the solution to population problems.

Conquest looks/looked like a good chance to boost population for a while, but something to last until that's finished would be nice.

 

And really, the inevitable trolling is not going to help.
