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

Welcome to FL, has it’s ups and downs, has been that way for years.

What saved it was people that actually cared and wanted FL to live, and had to make the neccesary changes   now those people are busy showing how important they are.

No one "saved" it at all in the past. Literally whenever the server pop was down years ago we just waited a few months and it recovered itself. We hardly made any changes at all, maybe once in a while we had an update alongside it but not always. Most recent example is just a few months ago, we didn't really do anything but the server was fine.

FL has had these moments several times a year for quite a while now, it's usually always people saying "FL needs big change or it dies" and then it proceeds to not die with no change at all. Not saying I expect it to recover without doing anything this time, just trying to compare it to the past kinda goes against your point.

This is the worst thing i've seen said by any of the staff team yet. Yeah let's just "wait" for people's exams to be over so they can come back to play a server that's been the same for 14 years. "No need to update it just keep it the same, that seems to work". people will come back eventually, happens every year." That's the most stupid thing ever heard. Like, no wonder why the server has never had a significant change or update, because you guys just wait it out instead of making changes. That's not development. Nor a way a server should be run. Like you don't even need to say "We hardly made any changes at all" because everyone is quite aware and have been for 14 years. You know that saying that goes "Only time will tell."? Yeah time called back and they told me the server's still the same as it was 14 years ago.

You're getting the wrong idea, they're saying that they'll be prioritising their exams over working on FL, as its not up for discussion that somebodies future outweighs fixing and implementing stuff to fix FL (again this is all voluntary work btw) and trust me they're aware that this one can't just be rode out like it has been in the past- it simply won't work this time. It needs big change, however real life takes precedence so all changes would've been halted until exam period is over.
