What’s your thoughts on the current situation of the server?

[Tim]

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people, people like you. Crimes the government considered "irrelevant." They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find *you*.

Spoiler :

All jokes aside. The server is in a pitiful place, and I don't just mean now, but long-term. Things aren't exactly looking 'rosy'.

But always remember this, they got 45 players some weekends ago so therefore the server isn't dying and therefore does not need any other changes. It's perfectly fine the way it is

That couldn't be more wrong, the reason that so many players were one was because that was an event. It typically doesn't have that many players ever on a daily basis anymore. The server needs CHANGE. It NEEDS it! It's been the same for 14 years. In order to change and grow you need to be able to change and adapt! Which FL has not, which is why we are seeing the server decline like it has been. FL NEEDS change! I can't express that more than I already have. Imagine playing the same game for 14 years with no updates or major change. It gets BORING! We are seeing the effects of that boredom. You simply cannot expect FL to come back by not making any major changes. Roleplay and hosting events WILL NOT bring the server back! It NEEDS change! Those that argue that FL doesn't need change are the reason FL is the way it is. That and the fact that the devs have said it would be to difficult to get new content. However, it's what needs to happen. Don't get me wrong I love this community and always will, but the community can only do so much. FL is long overdue for some major change and until that happens, the server will stay in its current state. I'm not saying we need this change right now this very second. But we need it as soon as possible if the server is gonna ever come back. I've said this all before and I'll say it again and again until FL truly changes. Because I care for this community and the server. It's amazing that FL has lasted over 14 years, especially with no major changes, but if it's going to continue. It NEEDS change.
