Why is the community population declining?

[ryoken]

No offence, but...everything were done to make server as we have it now. Removing rule for GB only to pirate= 2milordienowhascruiser ! Advantage to capital ships made them too popular, so we have 5 cruisers after 2 bombers. Im not talking about averange gaming lvl of cap ships- if they are red, I will kill them. Cloak cap just removes any willing to interact with player.
And thing, I very dislike, it's when I find some adequate player to RP with, but then comes one, or even worse, groupe of lolwuts with cloaked caps and just pew pew pew pew pew pew and hahahahahahahahahaha.
But srsly...we went to it with our own steps.

Not all of us, I fought it with all i could, but everyone kept telling me to wait and see how it turned out. It turned outt pretty much the way i said it would, but now it is to late, and nothing will change.

People leave because it takes 2+ years for each update now.
Things are getting old real fast.
The admins/devs ignore experianced players, and cater to the new.
They introduce new items that un-balance game.
They change rep ninja's because "Official factions" say to, and screw all indies.

I can go on and on, but i am sure you get it.

yes many of my friends left because of the time gap it took to build 4.86
I remeber when kusari storyline was launched i started to save for a RM carrier with cap Mk 8 but by the time 4.86 got launched i had buyed 3 BS with all Mk 8 armours

Oh no. You just agreed with me. You will now be on half the servers hate list for that.

I wouldn't say the population is declining, it's simply changing.

Of course there's going to be less players, that's because the game is starting to be really old and the dev team decided to pull some really funky stuff that drove away a big chunk of the 4.84/4.85 players, but also because we had to wait almost two years for 4.86 that's easily the worst version of the mod.

Gallia was a hell lot of fun in 4.85. Just a few systems, some pvp in the taus etc it was good. It should never have evolved in a house designed like someone was on drugs when he did it. The Omicrons were a better place too, no 300k to fly to have a chance to meet another player.

Oh well.

Yup i loved 4.85. Everyone claimed 4.86 was going to be great, so despite aguing needlessly that many things would break the game(and did IMO) i looked forward to a new update. Now? I play maybe 10% of the time i used to.

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug...

Do you remember the bomber NPC's of 4.85 Gallia? The constant complaining about the OP NPC's being the reason why nobody bothered with Gallia back then either?

I remember those NPCs. I loved them. I loved all the Guard NPCs also, but they took those away mostly. I liked the system NPCs but again mostly gone now.
People complain here about stuff, and those with alot of skype buds, and ingame pals get listened to, and get what they want changed. But if you are not liked, or have only a few pals, then you are ignored, and large groups troll you to hell.
The server is becoming a large power to the masses, and screw everyone else server.
Now i know i will get trolled for saying that, but it is true. Look at what you do, or where you discuss most issues about Disco though, and tell me i am wrong.
