What's Next?

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

- snip -

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?

- snip -

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. 

- snip -

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.

- snip -

How is it a waste of time to bring old players back? Your whole point is they don't have time for gaming from your first and second point but I'm literally looking at my friend's list on steam and from the 29 of them that used to play FL but have all left , there is 70% of them STILL play games on Steam. These assumptions you're making are straight-up false and have no factual basis. 

Im looking right now at the FL steam group and can see a percentage of 20% are online right now at 11PM on a Sunday (1070 people). All you need is 50 from these 1070 people to come back. Do you honestly, hand on heart think you're too unable to get 50 of these people back? If you honestly think you as a team cannot get 50 people who used to play FL to come back then clearly whatever plan you're intending to follow is not going to work.
