Do we need more players? - addy007 - 08-27-2013
It's been a verryyyyy long time since I've seen the number of players go above 200 and I've never seen this server full
This mod is like a dream come true for players like me who LOVE space sims but not many people know about it. So many systems to explore, so many jump holes to find, so many bases to visit, so many ships to fly, so many factions to join, so many roles to play but not so many players to do it all. I've never played 4.85 but I've heard from many people that the server used to be FULL always. I feel very sad when I see only 2 or 3 people dying to keep their beloved factions alive and running.
With that being said I think this is a great time to promote this server and mod. Many people around the world have backed the new game Star Citizen at the kickstarter and are obviously waiting to play that game or 'something like it'. The game will not release until 2014 or 2015 and if somehow the owners of this mod could get their slightest attention here then I'm sure that this server will be overflowing with players! And places like Bretonia or Gallia won't be deserted anymore.
I hope you agree with my opinion

Yes but how.

Sure, advertisment is good.
I still think wipe's needed to solve activity issues, but newcomers're always good.

If you think that a wipe will give more players you are wrong.
How would you feel if you have played here since 2006 only to have all your ships wiped. i know many that will say *insert bad words* and leave.

I'm playing here since 2008 and I don't have any problem with all my ships erased, as long as ships of everyone else are erased [for the good of server] and there's some reason for people to log in and trade.

I'd play more.

I think with the new mod release you will see a spike in the number of new players joining the server and even some old veterans who have stayed away until now I'm sure will return to the game once 4.87 is released. They are just waiting in the wings

I'd say to advertise the game and the mod on some I don't know...maybe forums, websites so that more people will find out about Freelancer and Discovery

No charwipe. That will kill server even more then it is now.

I find this funny. Back in the day when we had a server crashing with 160 people online, we were discussing if we should keep Discovery as a much more secluded place and introduce it to potential RPers instead of the mass public. You know. The reason we stopped placing it on ModDB...?
