What Needs To Happen

Alright, so WarZ has turned to ****. This is a fact, we know this. And we know the two main reasons, as well. The EULA and the failings of the staff team. The EULA is something we can't do anything about but we can fix the staff team so they can fix WarZ.

Staff Team: Promotions
​

• To me, there's only really one main thing that needs to happen in the staff team. Promotions of active moderators to S-Mod or Admin to assist in running the servers and promotions of members to moderator status. I RARELY see a single S-Mod or Admin on Teamspeak who's not Busy or AFK. We need more moderators and the staff team needs to be less picky because speed hackers are running wild on WarZ, which just makes everything worse. Ritzy and Nezzr are the only mods I see on WarZ on a day-to-day basis, we need at least 4. For god's sake I could name some people who Cuddled wouldn't currently promote but could probably do a decent job at mod. Take, say... Skruni? I mean Skruni can be salty as hell and immature or rude in chat but as WarZ players go, he's intelligent, he has no recent history of DDoS or hacking that I know of, and I feel like he wouldn't be abusive. And I'm just using Skruni as an example, the staff team needs to stop waiting for perfect applicants and get more mods, stat. Fenguin could be a good moderator, or Cupcake, I really don't know. But pick someone.

Give Everyone Free ELITE
​

People need donator ranks to play WarZ. That's just a fact. I play as a whitename because I'm a dedicated, somewhat addicted, long-term player but even I am close to quitting when I spend 10 minutes running to nether and get killed by a speed hacker when I get there. But most people won't want to go through that kind of annoyance so they leave. But with free ELITE, WarZ might experience a bit of a revival. You could say it would choke the server's income but there's barely any income as it is. It was smart doing a sale on boosters, but it's nearly over and it hasn't generated a huge amount of income nor has it brought back WarZ to any significant degree. We need free ELITE for everyone while the staff team decides where to go next.

Listen To The Players
​

There have been so many ideas floating around recently regarding the betterment of WarZ. The lives system, making the server pay to play, a kit system. Some of these ideas are better than others, but the staff team doesn't really seem to take them into consideration. Just off the top of my head some ideas include; paying to be able to talk in chat, maybe? People love to talk **** in chat or just discuss things, so why not make it a premium feature? There could be a base amount of messages you get per week or month. But the staff team HAS to listen to what the players want and they don't want this goddamn booster system.

So I had to kind of rush this thread and leave some stuff out so I'll come back later and fix it up, but this is basically the kind of changes that need to happen for WarZ to be revived. It has the player base; steps just need to be taken to get that player base on the server again.

​

 

You clearly don't understand. WarZ players may need to, but they won't. So either we do something to give them TPA capabilities at least, or the server dies. 90% of the server don't think it's worth playing without a rank.

 

I take it neither of you actively play WarZ on a white name account? Barely anyone wants to pay $2.50 for an hour of TPA when they could previously pay $11 for a month of TPA and Ender Chest. The few that do don't do it with any regularity. The server makes no more than maybe 60 bucks a month from boosters is my estimate, which is the equivalent of all of 6 people purchasing MVP, that's nothing. Even if mods clean the server up so much that there are no rule-breakers, it will still have a pitifully low player count until it finally dies. I repeat, no one wants to run up to nether for 10 minutes, maybe spend another 10 looting, only to die to a team of diamonds. It's basically a waste of time.

The sales almost over, so... $5 so they can play for just one hour? And another $5 if they want to access the loot they've spent months or even years saving in their ender chest? I've bought two boosters so far, both on sale, and they haven't exactly been the greatest successes so I doubt I'll do it again. Barely anyone does. The booster system just does not work. Take it from one of the most active WarZ white names. Would you want to pay $5 an hour to play a server that the staff team doesn't give it a **** about and is riddled with hackers?

 

It doesn't actually matter whether you think it's doable. The fact is, there's like 20 or less white names who still regularly play WarZ. So obviously, the vast majority don't consider it doable. Trust me, the EULA has killed WarZ. It might even be different if everyone was a white name but the people with lifetime ranks rule the server.

 

You're not listening to me. It doesn't matter whether you did it as a white name, I've shown to you that people just will not adjust to playing as a white name, already so many people have quit since we lost free ELITE. So the staff team either has to give it back or accept that WarZ's dead. And I think the latter option would rather be a dick move given how much time and effort and money many people have put into this server. And WarZ was getting double the current player counts before the EULA.

 

Are you even reading my posts? God, I don't want to be rude but it's like you really don't understand what I'm saying. I've told you, there's absolutely no way WarZ players will adjust in great enough numbers, so free ELITE is the only plausible option.

That's very true but WarZ has been hit the hardest and has no quick fix unlike War (#soon hue).

 

Pay to play is actually EULA compliant I believe, as the main stipulation of the EULA is that you cannot spend money to gain an advantage in the game. Paying to play is a dumb idea for other reasons, but it is EULA compliant as you are simply paying to play the server, you are not paying for someone that will help you win. I'm pretty sure at least, I'm not an expert on the EULA.
