And for the graal community who always go on about old servers etc and how they could help it with whatever skills they have, why don't they help another iserver out like zone? I mean its not like classic couldn't of just gave part of that nexus?space tileset to help another server out, but nah let create few levels that will never be seen again.

While I partly agree with this, we also have to recognize that the artist(s) might not want their work being used somewhere else without any compensation.  

What happened to that racing mini game thing that Tashkin said he was working on?

Dead in the dust along with a **** ton of other dank projects

then zone will just be a platform in the air with holiday [email protected], Latte who did f all when was staff and let people like kenovo/lafez etc to do majority of the work(with no reward sometimes), while they 'had other assignments' none that ever been shown or released then happened to quit when majority of working staff left as they wasn't appreciated there nor rewarded for anything

MrSimons and latte where the best GFX Heads Zone will probably ever see. The GFX team was never more productive than when the time MrSimons was in charge. As for kenovo, that was entirely his choice. Also everyone who did work got iOS rewards like kenovo (if they wanted it).

The GFX Head doesn't decide on future updates. All they do is coordinate their team. There's really nothing you can blame MrSimons and latte for. There is one time where latte got pretty inactive and had put me in charge to coordinate the team, (it wasn't for long since I had quit afterwards.) but after she came to a point where she didn't feel productive enough is when I assume she quit. Same with MrSimons.

Another problem is nobody wanting to work as GFX for Zone.  

Ok guys heres what we should do.
We should have a very very very small staff, they are incharge of the following
Graphics/ganis
Levels, shops, quests etc
Npc codes
Items
Weaponry.
Then what we do is we have an open community project. They put in graphics, code, levels, weapons etc into this dropbox
Staff then test it, edit it and copypaste the final code into the game.

We cannot remove this game from the appstore. We should be trying to make this game what stefan visioned it to be. A game where he provides the tools, and we the people create to the game, and not just a specific group of people like it is currently, but any one, they dont even have to play the game.

Lmfao what a load of bs..most likely sucking up.majority of staff while i was there never got ios rewards(i worked there for like 3/4months [ok not that long before resigned -but did in that time nag for more power to do stuff and went out of my way to make projects -those of which that never made to game(possibly cause of my quality-although there was stuff to be worked on/improved.)


Management(including ones stated) failed at there job/never done much to progress a server simple as and nothing has changed since new management.

Pretty sure you where staff before rewards were implemented.

Nope some staff occassionally got it while i was there.

but neverless the problems more that staff haven't got a freerole of making stuff or they haven't had the intuitive to get projects going.(made worse by the talented not doing stuff/the now small staff community)  

This may sound like the stupidest question ever but,

Does it require graphics skills to become a manager? I got great ideas that are out of this world but for graphics? No.

Ahem--excuse me, but that is not a sky. That's obviously a lake with cloud reflections. How else would fishing be possible? Unless the fishing line is 100 thousand feet long. Who's idea was it to implement fishing in a futuristic game that takes place on a floating platform held up by like 15 little jet engines?

I was afraid to ask for a staff reward because I didn't want to sound like I was working for a prize, since I only worked on their team for a total of 3 weeks lol

I want to seriously organize a team of tileset revivalists for Zone. They would need to be highly skilled, and capable of producing a tileset possessing the most valuable characteristic of a level; it would need to have unity, and lastly, a long lasting vibe that defines Zone at its best. I want to pitch my ideas to their administration, and hopefully make Zone into what it never was.

This sounds alright. there would be a clash of styles, but thats never been a problem before has it? Tbh if someone wrote down what iZone needed and put the file in a dropbox, personally if I saw something I felt like making I'd try.  

Again just make sure no favoritism, even though you guys STILL do it.

Back then like I did? I mean until PD decided to delete it all w/o doing backups and even deleting unreleased, not uploaded graphics and levels because he was mad? :>  

Lmao you mean that huge list that was entirely unchecked on RC? Cause i remember this huge ****ing list of **** that needed to get done.  

Oh just putting it out there(for someone to tell manager/s) Pretty much all of the stuff made last year never were in presents, so use most of that.. and work on other stuff.
