Zone is on the Uprise
 

Zone has been released for nearly 9 months now and since then its made a rapid improvement since its release. The staff countlessly provide updates with actual content such as ways to make money, shops and weapons. And out of all the Graal servers they listen to their players the most. The community is also a nice place, whenever I'm walking around I always see a face I know. I remember there was one point in the game where less than 20 people and now at that same point there are well over 100. That's an improvement in my eyes. It is only that people had a bad first impression of this game that they aren't coming back though but I reckon it won't be long until iZone is competing side by side with all the other Graal servers and I can't wait for that.

Just a little thing about my opinion on Zone :)

100 player count is crap compared to iEra in its 9th month. I think zone was a fail.

I'd say it has potential. I think it just needs something unique and very fun to set it apart from Era. The missions were an excellent concept, but I feel like they are not in depth enough to be considered a unique gameplay feature. They need to be less about simply repeating a path(Ie save 10 people destroy 3 generators), and more of an actual story/challenge. For example, you may break into some enemies base, obtain secret information, then fight your way out. Basically, the missions need more effort put into them than simple repeating a task with a few guild members. Oh, and the level penalty on missions need to be taken out. There's no reason to penalize people for doing old missions, it's not like your level gives you any real advantage. There's a reason some MMO's do this(IE level 20 could 1 shot all level 10 content), but in Zone this isn't the case. It's just power creeping and abandoning old content.

This is not a very fair comparison. iEra did not have 2 senior servers to compete with. When iEra came out they stay there because they liked guns or the modern feel, etc. that iClassic could not offer. Other iPhone servers will have trouble getting a large player count because players will be strung out across all servers, with barely any new comers. :(

More like 180-210 everyday consistently.

Sometimes more at peak hours, the playercount is increasing

I don't see why this is news. The iZone staff said about 8 months ago that it was going to shoot up really soon!

Correction. Its almost 8 months not nine.
January 17th: 1st month
Feb. 17th: 2nd month
March. 17th: 3rd month
April 17th: 4th month
May 17th: 5th month
June 17th: 6th month
July 17th: 7th month
Today: August 8th
August 17th: 8th month

This is new because the first four months the server made no progress at all. The staff team has been working very hard lately and a lot of changes have been made.

Haha I see what you did there.


If iZone continues copying iEra's every feature, iZone will become the server that people go to when they are sick of iEra's players.

iEra 2.0

Totally, that's why it had about 300-350 players once even before the freeapp was released.

Even though zone isn't the server I play on I have to say the staff team are hardworking and very helpful :)

Well yeah, it was a new app so it was like a shiny new toy to players. The same thing will likely happen to Delt, it'll have it's highest playercount on the first few months of release and then slowly decrease due to players going back to iClassic or iEra.

Zone would have more players if they copied me :(
Play Classic for a few months and hate it since it is so boring.
Play Era for a year until you get bored of it.
Play Zone and never get bored of it.
Then in the future: (like 10 years from now)
Play Era like once a month and play the newly released game: Delteria that took forever just to release on iOS and Zone.

Oh and the player count would be much higher if Zone was released before Era/ when Classic died.

iEra was a carbon copy of Era PC, so it more or less had a base.. All that was left was to customize it. iZone however, was made from scratch. Or that's what I've heard anyways.
