I think people assume iZone is bad because, I think everyone can agree on this, while Matt was manager for Zone no real development work was getting done, and the playercount was roughly 30 - 40 players. As well as this, Matt decided to introduce an events team and hired roughly 5 - 6 more players, hence the joke why it seems everyone is hired on iZone.

However, when Tashkin took over, development has picked up, there are consistent updates now, and the playercount has tripled. Yeah it's not 1000+ like Era or Classic, but give it time. Overall, Zone has become an interesting server to play on, though I work for Zone, I see myself playing it more and more each day.

iZone seemed to of attracted a lot of haters in the Graalonline community, but why? I'd like to see why many players dislike this server, I want to see valid points that can be backed up. Quite frankly, I enjoy iZone, it definitely has stuff to do, and is more entertaining than most servers. Is it because players just haven't tried out this server, and they assume its bad for mistaken information?

Note: This thread is to only benefit the server, please don't start any useless arguments and unneeded posts, thanks.

what do you consider a hater. I dislike pepsi does that make me a pepsi hater?

Every time I play iZone I wonder why he wasn't manager in the first place. I'm sure practically all the other players think this too.  

There are quite a few reasons why I became inactive on iZone after playing since the first day.

To begin with, zones management was absolutely horrible until Tashkin who was promoted just a few days after I gave up on iZone. Also, the fact they rehired an admin who was fired for banning me without a decent reason, without even seeing how this concerns me whatsoever. Next, the server became 100% event server. Finally, the server's tileset is really off for what type of game it is. Zone is the future and in space not some sky palace floating above classic.

As a matter of fact, a new tile set is being created. One that will give everyone the galaxy type feel we all desire (instead of the current sky tiles).

to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry.

to be unwilling; dislike: I hate to do it.  

What i like about zone? Uniqueness. Players cannot adapt to new things or new servers. They judge the book by its cover without actually reading the pages. Zone has a unique quality that sets it up as one of the coolest servers in my opinion. The staff are great and have 100% equality. Haters just like to make other things feel inferior because of their own arrogant opinions, so let them be. What makes zone awesome is that we never give up, and we won't.

The thing that turns me off about iZone is the inaccuracy of the bullets (or lasers whichever you prefer). But, you do get used to it. Eventually you can use it to your advantage if you get good at it.

Lol'd.


Just play zone a bit more and you wont have any accuracy problems. I think everyone has trouble shooting when they first start bcuz when izone came out no one even knew how to shoot straight. ppl would camp in corners or run upwards to get their oppenents to run into the bullets for kills.

That statement is false.  

You simply have to look at the player count to see what us "haters" mean. Obviously Zone has BARELY made the 100+ player count. The updates are mostly filler like Classic and usually include...hats. Also Zone is basically a space version of Era. I also haven't heard the best things about the staff but I heard that a while ago so it could've changed.

Compared to what iZone used to have and the size of the gmap it has atm, 100 - 150 players is great.

We've just released the hoverboard ramps and grinding, a bomb spar tourney, the lottery, event house and much more. In fact, hats haven't been updated in ages (though it's being worked on!)

A lot has changed about the staff team since a while ago. Matt resigned and Tashkin is the new manager, the ET department was practically disbanded, and pretty much the whole team has changed except for a fair few.

Zone has barely reached that player count because people are too busy hating on it for that player count. Repeating cycle, mmm

You let me know when iZone releases a candy land. Then that statement may hold some weight.

Not starting anything here, but you sound ignorant. Have you actually played iZone, I'm assuming no. The game is not remotely close to iEra. You think 'oh it has guns, it's like iEra.' Yet, it contains many features iEra doesn't have, also a more friendly community. So, really, your only true statement is the playercount. But, that's why most players who actually play the game enjoy it so much more.  

I hate the bullets,people bullet eat when I shoot them
