Yes, but its been over a year and zone still is in development with 600 players and no active coders or a decent dev team. There really is no question to why Zone isn't comparable to Era or Classic. I'm sure even Tashkin could agree with that. And if you honestly think it is you are ridiculously biased seeing as Zone is unable to cater to any large audience currently. It can't entertain pkers because Era has much better PvP perks and a wider variety of weapons. Nor can it cater to roleplayers because there isn't a single place on the server to roleplay that wasn't half-assed and shoved in a corner.

Not criticizing, but I'm not gonna make myself look like an idiot by saying Zone is a fantastic server with tons of fun things to do. Just saying its obviously under developed and has a ton of work to be done. I'm also not implying that the current staff are lazy or not talented, a good portion of staff there work their asses off trying to improve the server.
