Mkay, let's get things straight here:

On the tone of Era, it's diversely scripted, better gfx (more flowing), an active staff and events team management and it has more than 3 members of staff.

This gnaws at me, it does. I suggest and suggest and suggest, but no matter what I do, my ideas are simply not verified. I'd love to implent all the player ideas into Zone, but Stefan or Vulcan or whoever just isnt going to let player input in with this sort of thing. I'm going to try and talk to them about it, because Zone is a wonderful server, and in the current state it's in, it's barely worth the Gold status it wrongfully has.

Not to be biased or anything, but say my spy or infiltrator ideas were implented. You'd have people come back to Zone just to try something entirely new. And then you have the map ideas, ctf and guild wars, two new whole maps. And possibly a new Iricia. You'd have a MASSIVE influx of new players - Look at GBM for example. Everyone saw it reopened, played it insanely for about a week then grew tired of it and the playercount dropped to about 1. Hoohah.

On the subject of shooters, the reason CS:S is so popular is for it's diversity of weapons, maps and even playing conditions, allowing each game to be different, and each player an equal chance of scoring a frag. Zone has none. Diversity, yes. But that's the only thing it has. Iricia is always the same. There's no change of map or scenery, it's the same old thing. That's why Zone is filled with idiots - it's not exciting enough to attract the intelligent people who prefer to play well designed and made things.
