Thats cute, what if you are a jew with your money like me and hoard every shekel you have and need to spend on things you need like food, shelter, books for school etc. but you want to play ol west but the game takes so fuggin long to grind out jobs to get a decent weapon that you can stand a chance with. Whats going to happen? You do nothing but grind and your gun is still no where near good enough to compete with others cause this aint izone. I really want to play ol west and see how things have changed since the start but i do not have time to grind out ol west when i have school finals AND sports after school. I do not want to sell my soul to graal and be stuck grinding every time i get a break. No i want to have a social life.
holy **** dude that sounds like lazyness. You do guns. Wanna know how many guns i cranked out and 100% balanced in my first month of izone guns? Well over 17. Thats over 17 unique guns that have been field tested, used in combat, and did all the calculations of kill time and bullets to kill. Spent one hour a day in my ac lab just doing gun stats and testing them.
True im not an old west player. I want to be though. But i have been an OG iera and iclassic player (classic not so much) along with a very long standing izone player and I have seen the mistakes they made. I played through the golden age of izone and iera before it went to ****. I can tell you this right now. You are making the same mistakes as they did before. I know ol west has no growing player count, but holy **** the one thing it did right was it was very easy to get into. Current player count last i checked is average 200-700 about 6-7 months ago. Wanna know why you have no players? Not enough content. Do not give me the BS of hue there overflowing items. Theres no such thing. Gamers want more, there is no such thing as enough. If you do it right, you can release a ton of stuff as long as they are in a good porportion. Not do what iera did and release nothing but terrible melee weapons for a year. That got people mad about but dammit everyone was buying them meaning a majority of players wanted more melees.
Try it, i dare you to buff jobs to fishing levels, release items like crazy, rebalance the game. Your player count will rise. Hell even if you rebalance the game alone good enough your player count will rise. After the first round of rehauling izones guns, our player count average went up by 150. Because lower priced guns are able to compete with the top tier guns easily thus making less grinding more shooting and having fun so more people gonna play and stick with the game.

thats great you were able to do that for zone. I am working a guns project for ol west as well. thus the lack of new guns being released. i was on OG member of era as well. played it for years and and went through the entire growth process with that till it lost its interest for me.
I don't think you understand just how easy ol west is, still, to get into if you are talking gralats wise. I'll use someone i know personally as an example here. He has a total online time of 36 hours and has obtained over 100,000 gralats (thats after having bought any relevant guns and melees) from purely farming with a bit of bit of low level mining and fishing. now tell me that is hard to get into.
I'll agree with you people always want more more more of course but from a development standpoint where you actually have to come up with ideas and create the mass quantities of items it is unrealistic unless we are just going to recolor existing things and nobody likes that.
