Its not hard to get zone back on the right tracks actually. If weapons were redone to be harder hitting and 2.5x bullet speeds and gun freeze (like your average movement time should be around .15 seconds) we would have an entirely new game on our hands. That would be the driving stake that seperates era combat from zone combat and the two would be nothing alike. You would need to entirely relearn how to handle weapons. Then you just make places with huge battlefields like iricia and ctf automatic bot events that happen every time a battle ends and anyone can join in at anytime. You would be set, bang almost a whole new game on your hands.

ie this thread is to get you hired again?
Just kidding, though I agree, getting guns back on track would improve what the game already has by a lot. PvP/PvE is pretty much all you can do on Zone, guns being broken doesn't help. Still, a broader range of activities are needed to suit a larger playerbase.
It's sort of funny though, the higher staff don't seem to give a **** about the quality of the server. The short term focus is events, which keep the players' attention, and the long term goals are the holidays shop, which keep players 'looking forward' to something and take their money. We can complain about aspects of Zone, but they won't listen because hey, it keeps us logging onto Zone. IMO they won't approve of any long term, productive commitments and concepts because they'd get in the way of holiday shops.
