So I noticed people still use this forums, probably cuz the other ones a mess. Took forever to get back into this account, but I'm here lol. I've been reading everyones posts tho and I'm working on typing up a plan to what would be best for zone to get it to where it needs to be at.  

Is it going to work, though? Js, I don't think anyone but the players are up for the challenge. I even know someone who wants to help so bad, he's considering joining all developmental aspects of Zone just to make an effort.  

It'll work, after 4300+ hours of gameplay, playing era, being staff, and most importantly talking to other players and reading all your posts, I've been able to come up with a plan that can bring out Zone's potential. It'll be a lot of work to get it going but when it's done the server will be amazing.

woa u must be pro  

ikr  

Zone sub-forums are basically dead, however I don't know what zone-play looks like because i'm unable to sign up due to 'failed image verification' or something like that.  

zone play has as many constant posters as these sub forums do. I like graalians better, though (that's a first) because there's more mature people than on zplay, and the nards on graalians dont bother the zone subforum There's a lot that needs ro be done, but that's the thing... doing it. The problem we've never been able to get past... Hopefully that will change with Alex as manager now. Honestly we can't and shouldn't change anything major until the new tileset (and probably the new map) is made, otherwise all the fixes would be pointless and just extra work. We should do small stuff temporarily, though. But I wouldn't expect anything major until the tileset is done, which could take a while.

Some technical stuff and aspects could be modified and re-created now, for example gun balancing etc. Also, the GUI should be remade without a doubt.  

The systems that we have can and actually are being worked on (such as weapons), but as for things like creating new bases, changing the map, etc... can't happen yet. Although we should still fix the minor map issues like fishing shack & dave's deliveries.  

If anything, the map we had at early 2014 was overall the best one, medium size and easy to navigate. In order. I think we should fix the gun system/economy, trading economy, bugs/glitches, gmap, bases, everything else will be done as well but these are most important. Man i wish i could just buy the server so we can get this started now lol  

I'm bored, so I'm going to just leave this here:

Trading: remove hat trading, only allow guns, and other items except for VIPs.
Map: I think you should use Classic's strategy. Though it was a bit easy for Classic to do since they've already got all the contents reserved from old PC Classic, but create new places but don't open them yet until the server meets a certain amount of playercount. Release a town slowly, piece by piece. Not everything at once.

Hire more staffs. I know it's hard to hire professional developers for iZone since it looks terrible, and according to some of the previous coders for iZone such as Emera, some of the codes are terribly done. But start out by paying them.

ZP: Stop hiring kids who abuses for friends, so increase your standard. Make the application more harder to apply for.

Jetpacks: I know it's weird to say this, but I suggest removing it lol. I used to like it where there's no jetpack and you have to walk everywhere. It's also fair for events too. When staffs host events such as hide and seek, those who own a jetpack will always have the advantage.

Bases: Bring Sky Bases back, or add more bases like SB.

Sparring: Loved Zone sparring since 2013, but always wondered... why tf are there no sparring rewards? It's been 2 or 3 years or so since we've been asking for rewards.

Shops: Remove the shopping area lol and spread the shops apart. That gives players the opportunity to explore.

Quests: There's currently 1 quest released for iZone lol. Make more.

Bikes: Give it 8 directions (if it already can navigate in 8 direction, ignore this idea)

Let Zone be officially in space; not on the Earth's atmosphere. Create other planets for others to explore. Create your own version of earth; create a city for us players to explore. Let us see different planets, species, races, shops, etc.

The above ideas has always been my dream for what Zone would become. Please, tell me if I'm wrong about something. I haven't log on Zone for more than 6 months.

TLR? Don't quote me.  

Also it's about time we stop having these metallic dark age looking guns. Instead we should have something that seems to be enjoyable and bright. Guns like the enraged,red,green,lightning,plasma,and lr just seem to be guns that fit zone more but what mot people use are rippers and rail gun. And if we have to, add some ACTUAL cool stuff like auction worthy, not op but just have a great appearance where noobs will be asking "what gun is that, where u get that"


And remember when zone released robots and announced it to classic and era? (I think) well that should happen again but something worthy to announce. Like in the summer the beach should be added, a bunch of more fish is added, and awesome new hats are released. So that we could announce something like "Zone is having the best summer party ever! Come over and play!" it's really cheesy but others might actually download the game.

Im actually working on removing gun trading, its too easy to get high end guns, guns are something we shoulld work for. Only tradable guns should be auction and maybe holiday guns. Hat trading is fine, it just needs to be done right, add more hats to help regulate the economy, cuz its stupid that pirices have gotten up to like 20k+ for just a hat. Zc and gun trading really messed things up, zc have no value anymore, theyre just used to buy crap in trades, they rarely ever go back into the game as intended.

I like that map idea, fhats how it should be done.

And yeah, we definitely need more staff.

I like jetpacks, but they need to be balanced also, mainly having a longer takeoff time and not usable at conquest.

We need more bases, especially skybases, this sad excuse for a skybase now is the worst base ever made. And the indoor bases need to be widen, narrow corridors are a bad idea, and levels team also need to know that more walls does not equal a better base, it usually just make fighting there worse.

I have spar rewards being made, mainly guns, but i need people to make all the other goodies i had planned for it. Same with the new pk rewards.

I also preferred the shops to be scattered around, just looks better overall.

More quests would be nice.

Bikes, im all for them, except the shooting should be removed, theres really no reason for it and all it does is make someone basically unkillable due to they can just zoom off before they die.

Space and earth, you mean like two different gmaps?

@weeno

The new guns i have made are gonna be brighter and more futuristic  

Good to see you working on the server considering how long you been on there. Hopefully, it can get somewhere now. All these ideas sound great and can overall improve Zone.  

If these good stuff gets implemented, I'll come back to Zone.

Yes, I meant separate g-maps for Earth and space. It would actually make sense to have a beach down on Earth and fishing.

About the more quest suggestion, you guys hired story tellers right?? What happen to them???
