Fearless Survey results

[don]

There’s not a lot that devs or admins can do.. We’re stuck just like you waiting for Soul, and waiting for him to step up to the plate and show some leadership.. I hate to keep saying it, but give us as a team time - I know that’s not what people want to hear, but IMO it’s better than nothing.

Na thats a load of bullshit.

SA's where given nearly full power so they can continue to lead FL while Soul is away. However, no-one who has been SA's nor currently is knows fuck all about how to manage a team or what is needed for FL.

Management let developers choose what they want to develop and are too scared of developers walking out.


Yes, Soul is doing sweet fuck all but that does not mean he should be used as an scapegoat by the team to justify this shitty management over FL right now.


zzzz

As mentioned in second post, leadership as a whole is really non existent from what (albeit little compared to others) I’ve seen. Soul is the root of issues but not the only person with blame here (with that said, why should others be passionate if the owner isn’t)
Transparency is needed, and the team needs some guidance and real leadership, again, just imo..

But, this is what pisses me off. You have the role for a reason, just because Soul isnt passionate, doesnt mean you shouldnt be. Sounds like a statement of he said she said, come on now.

There is members of this community miles more passionate than any single soul on that team, but they are never given the chance, or they are deemed aggressive for sharing their opinion.

Nobody is steering the boat currently, Tomo is lazy and in-active. Doesn't really give anything to the staff team. The issue is FL has not been able to find a strong SA for a while now. Awestruck was good but was very bias and kept on leaving the team. The 3 SA's which were appointed a while ago were useless. Eeee or whatever his name was, was rubbish done nothing what so ever. Sparx didn't quite have the power and strength to run the show and Tomo quite clearly isn't dedicated enough. The main problem is out of these people their really isn't anyone in the staff team right now who could do the job well. If Zecon was more active I could see him being a great SA, however I don't really see him in-game but I could be wrong. Apart from that, looking at the staff team nobody is quite good enough to run the server/manage it in a stable enough way.

You guys are delusional if you really think the biggest problem to FL is Soul being lazy or inactive SAs. First of all Soul has never been active, and I promise it is better that way. 

No one gets off the server/doesn't get on because Tomo is inactive. That is dishonest thinking and I refuse to believe that you guys genuinely believe it. You want an admin team of people YOU like. And also, who the fuck would be better admins in the 20 active players? Use at least a part of your brain and realize the server is dead, so obviously the admins are going to be inactive, and we are not going to have great candidates for admin.

Also what do you actually want to happen that was on the survey? Remove casinos? You actually think that would do anything expect lower the player count? I said it before, changing gamemodes was the only way to see a significant player count increase, but not enough people wanted it so our other option is have max 40 players on a good day until the server dies. Getting new admins isn't going to do shit.

Your 2nd point makes no sense, the whole point people are making is the fact that Tomo is in-capable of managing any team. It doesn't matter about the 20 players or whatever, the simple fact of the matter is that Tomo is not able to lead a group of admins. Zecon would do that job probably quite well considering the fact he is quite demanding etc.

If you actually read the survey you will see their is a lot more too it than "casinos being banned". Don't be stupid and write stuff like that you sound like an idiot.

The point is simple, the biggest problem on the server is the fact the playercount can only get 40 on the weekends and 20 on the weekdays (and mostly everyone is afk citizens). Tomo could be the best leader in the world but that wouldn't make the servers not be dead. You are trying to solve a problem that is completely irrelevant to what would actually make the server playable. A new SA is not what the server needs, it needs to find a way to increase playerbase then we can talk about the admin team. What is the point making Zecon SA? Would the servers all the sudden be flooded with new players looking to RP? My point is you are missing the real problem completely and you are instead attacking the easiest targets that are the admin and dev team.

Okay make your argument. What changes would you make the server based on the survey results?

Someone here should go and shoot down Soulripper's paper boat, hopefully he doesn't have insurance over it so he will start making changes and get tax free donations to replace it

You're seriously thick, do you even know what things SA's need to do? The whole point of an SA is to make sure the server is in complete operation. It's not just to look over the admins. If you don't believe the dev team and admin team is the issue what do you seriously think is the issue, it seems a bit strange that when we had a good update pushed in summer last year that the population suddenly went from being 20 to 75 within a couple of days so your point is massively invalid about the game-mode. A very good super admin who is demanding will motivate the team into doing what is needed for the server. Right now we don't have that leader figure who wants to strive the server to the place it was before.

I'd just like to preface by saying that I completely understand you guys' frustration at the fact that there has been no real staff response to this so far, if I were in your position, I'd be pretty pissed off too. However we haven't forgotten about it, we're actively working out how best to move forward from these results, and to improve the server for you all. Having said that, I'm not going to sit here and say that we've already got a brilliant plan that is going to solve all your problems, because frankly we haven't, these things do take time, and the most important thing is to move in the right direction with this, not making hasty decisions to please people that may come back to haunt us further down the line. It's very clear that change is needed, we 100 percent hear you on that.

Personally, I do not believe the reason for playercount lies as largely with administration as argued on this thread, I know I'm an admin and so I'm sure many of you who strongly believe that we are doing a bad job will disagree with me, however, in my opinion, the reason that our player count is not as strong as it used to be, is that people are just getting bored, they come on the server and find it difficult to actually be entertained, because they have run out of things to do and there is a lack of unique rps. What I believe FL needs more than anything, is development that pushes player interaction, and gives both players who have been here a long time, and those who are newcomers, a new target/goal to reach. I think this direction of development would benefit FL far more greatly than swapping SAs or unbanning a ton of players who likely aren't interested in FL anymore as a semi serious rp server. Interaction & motivation to play are the key here, IMO.

I feel like people have lost interest as Sparx said because of the lack of new things to do.  I think development need to add more activities and more opportunities for new roleplay! This already seems to be going ahead with the new Mining system, that has brought in a good few players to join the server and even though it’s a week or so old now people are still running round and fighting to get the rocks. Also because it’s a new way to make money people are interested. Development seems to be going in the right direction so far just hope it’s going to stay going to stay going the same way.
