Thanks.

We've made a great start but we have to keep going.

I can't do this alone, none of us can. We have to work together or Zone is going to fall apart again. I need all of your help if we ever hope to see Zone return to normal.

Please keep letting us know how we are doing. We need feedback, don't hesitate to criticize our work; just please make sure it is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.


Thanks for your support, it really means a lot to me.

I'd like to thank the staff too for all the recent changes, well not all of them but most of the changes. I won't say this is the start of returning the old zone. Because that is still a far way off, and we can't get the old zone back anyway, maybe a new old zone, or a old-ish new zone. My thanks go out to Dante, Dan, Stefan, and the ETs and other staff that have made this possible.

There's 40 people online right now, when usually there would only be about 25 people.


People are happy with Zone. One unnamed person who has a grudge against it and its staff who is saying otherewise should be ignored.

We all know that is never going to happen. As long as Stefan loves money, he's gonna keep churning out crappy thoughtless updates and leave you guys to clean up after him.

Wow, I think you may have overdosed on the steroids there, pal. Did I say it was a bad thing? I said as a result, he'll churn out crappy and thoughtless updates instead of taking the time to think of a more efficient and player-friendly way to earn some cash.

At the moment he's made a server which tells the player "YOU WAN PLAY GOOD? I MAKE YOU GOOD, BUT FOR PRICE!"

I assume you're trying to say "From your customers".

Yes, but there are obviously different ways to do this, and the current method in use is milking people for everything they have and then moving onto the next batch of people instead of having a constant flow from the community and in the process prolonging the life of each player (In terms of how long they stay playing Zone) because if they pay gradually they have more time to save up for Graal.

At the moment they are bombarded with restrictions and end up paying tons of cash for a less-than-amazing experience. They then think that it is a complete rip-off, go play some other game, and never come back.

i agree some of the weapons in their, prices, etc are piss takes. like the grenades and ammo for a BIG example wth. and the more amazing a weapon is, the more crap it makes a game, like people pay for assault rifle, which is amazingly fast appirces basically, and they just screw it up because zone is a skill game. zone is just a shadow of its former glory.

Excuse me? If you didn't notice, the majority of Zone's playercount are children. These 'few euros' become a lot more since there are so many restrictions placed on trials. People have to buy a gold subscription, then have to fork out more cash for extra weapons to actually get some sort of enjoyment out of the game. Don't even get me started on timed items.

I never said Stefan was being made rich from Zone, I've said that his marketing method is far too aggressive.

We're not here to discuss financial problems or anything though. I want to thank them who are thankfull for the updates .

On a sidenote: A gold subscription doesn't give you everything on just Zone, but also on many other servers. You should divide the ammount of money by the ammount of servers (active ones). See what you get..

a lot of the gelat stuff arent updates, but bonuses that used to be a reward for your gameplay taken out of the game for those extra few pennies/ i hardly think much money is made through pipebombs and gasgrenades.

But not everyone wants to play the other servers. Wouldn't it make perfect sense to have a Zone-only subscription?
