What happened to the server?

[Pollux]

There's a lot of things that can be done to save FL.

But it's not realistic for this team to get it done, unfortunately.

Agreements are few and far between - the will to try things is non-existent.
The wrong decisions keep getting made - making it harder to fix and do what needed to be done in the first place.

Management also seems inflated - the rank has lost it's meaning - those who decide in this community is the ones who are able to modify it.

I can tell very easily the staff team is in disarray. Un-coordinated.

Worse yet, people have completely resigned.

For example - Pollux - the person with the power to change everything - listen to the community and get shit done - has completely given up.

There's a lot that can be done for that initial spike, but not much to make it actually sustainable. The server has been on life support for quite literally over a year, with constant intervention and temp fixes to keep it going a bit longer. It's a genuine question as to how much longer we should keep it on life support, you have to understand how tiring it is for the team and just how much we've listened and tried so far. Any "way to save FL" is just a guess as to what may work, everyone has their own views on what's wrong with FL and often it conflicts. We have to make tough decisions on which ideas are most likely to succeed using data such as from the survey and then do them.

I'm being realistic. There's no quick and easy fix to make FL sustainable for more than a week or so at most. We don't have the manpower to do the drastic changes required to make it actually sustainable. We've tried so many things that were realistic to do. Most of the ideas in this thread have been reverts or V2D, we both know that's only a small spike from nostalgia and then we're back here in a week, I don't see how anyone can expect a different result. It isn't free for us to keep trying either, and we're almost out of effort for that.

FL will end one day Haarek, and while it is possible to keep it going for maybe a week longer or even a month I do genuinely believe we'll end up here as we have for over a year now. I'm not preventing the team from trying again or anything and this is all just my personal view in the end. Conn is the one deciding what will actually happen.
