Explanation Please?
 

Can anyone give us an explanation why Zone was abandoned? Will it ever come back? Is there a possibility for it to be hosted by a user as a playerworld?

Becouse the players lost intrest in it, bringing it back wouldent do any good.
you can play the Iphone Version of Zone.

iPhone verson is just era with zone weapons.

Stefan told before he didnt get money anymore out of zone so removed it,

It sat with 0 players for years on the serverlist.

I had a lot of fun with Zone, personally.

From what I understand, a lot of management changes (and obviously game changes, since a lot of dumb managers love to mess up a perfect formula) was what killed its player count.

I was so gdlk with melee weapons that the gunners just left to era

i blame mog

Class - Medic

Hotkeys - Heal, Syringe

I would love to see Zone back on the server list, but so many managers insist on redoing servers completely instead of just reviving them and adding more.

It was actually greed. Whether it was Stefan or other higherups I don't know but it slowly killed the server off.

Care to elaborate?

Ah, okay. Yeah, if Zone is ever brought back they shouldn't offer game-breaking stuff through the gelat shop again if that's what Crono was talking about. Or if they run out of ideas and they have to do so, just make them temporary.

Gelat shop didn't contain anything hugely game breaking until near the end.

What broke the server was greed from Stefan and Unixmad, people who shouldn't of had manager (even though they could do nothing unless Stefan said so)

They upped trial restrictions so it was literally pay2notlose (I believe trials had less hp and all that ****), trials couldn't join guilds on Zone so guild activity dropped, and pay2win weapons were slowly being added (this was ramped up while Dan/Contiga was manager) until it got out of control.

I gotcha. Still, Zone could be successful again if some of that is corrected.

80hp instead of 100

So sad.

I think the full restrictions were 80hp, stats and gear didn't save, classes were restricted, and they weren't able to obtain event prizes.

It did sit there for years with 0 players though. So I think they just decided to shut it down. I was never given access so I assumed they had plans to just remove it.

bring zone back but replace every tileset, character and image with block.png

After all the damage was done, with no one attempting to fix it. That's the result you get when you do a PvP server with the direction of I want cash.

It was known since pooper had manager that Zone PC was going to be shut down for iZone.

disappointing
 

I remember spending more time on this server than any other. Good ol' mortaring bases, and scrub-stomps with the ap-pirces. Bring back real zone please.

pls bring back come on

Did that Zone mobile game ever get released a few years back, before the rest of iGraal? I vaguely remember that, but since I didn't care about Zone, mobile gaming, or hating myself, I never paid attention to it.

How was that in relation to Zone? Is it still around?

They have released it yes, iZone, however.. It is nothing like Zone at all. Neither the gameplay nor the content quality. Its a real shame they released it the way it is in the first place, not to mention its even worse they named it after the PC server. But owell. What ya gonna do.

I was never given access to PC Zone :(

Same with the iEra version, they should have given it a different name. =/
