What's Next?

The economy reset is bugging me a bit.

This is a valid concern, but in the end it really boils down to us having two options:

Why would you go for option 2 which consists of literally 30 people compared to the THOUSANDS of people that have invested time into the server?

Although the number of old players far outweigh the number of new players, you're acting like the thousands of old members actively play and are subsequently annoyed by this - but in reality very few of them even check the forums, discord alerts or join the server, it's once in a blue moon and is now just used as a go to 'warning' to stop progress, that being there will be a revolt of some type as the older players disagree with a current decision despite being out of the loop for some time.

Ah so this is the logic, 'they don't play so they don't care.'

- snip -

Initially, there were many who were curious whether or not it was the right thing to do however this was hashed out by Management and once their draft was ready, it was shared with the rest of the team and tweaks were made and basically 100% of us collectively agreed.


It would be a waste of time to purely dedicate our resources with the intention of bringing back the older players: one, many of them have full time jobs or are in the latter stages of further education. Two, some are starting families and physically don't have the time to play FL anymore. Three, people grow out of gaming and simply don't want to come back to FL as they've moved on which is normal and perfectly understandable.


Which is why we've arrived at the current decision, things need change and directing our efforts towards the slim chance of getting old players back simply isn't viable in FL's current state.
