Bring back the /legacy option!

Splitting an already divided community will make it even harder for War to get the playercounts it needs for it to be fun, and reverting War back to legacy is not an option as it is almost impossible for us to update that gamemode.

As I've said many times before - re-adding or reverting back to Legacy War is the same as completely giving up on War.

 

"first off nobody wants to update legacy" war 1.0 was getting dull eventually, no gun updates, new guns or any updates at all. Of course the long wait for 2.0 also lowered the playercount but the lack of updates was a big factor in the lack of playercount towards the end of legacy as well.

The problem is is that I think the players dont exactly miss legacy all that much, but more miss the nostalgia and high playercounts. Sure legacy was more fun in certain ways but it's pay2win and wouldn't be attractive for newer players at all. (raygun crossbow minigun) only like 10-20 old legacy players (I've spoken to a lot myself as well over the last few months and lots have just moved on/ can't play anymore anways) would play maybe a few days, and after that it would die again, just like it did when we had the /legacy command.

Coming back to the pay2win, if players are new and get 1 shot blasted by miniguns rayguns and crossbows they would think it's unfair and we can't do much about since we can't make them purchasable again due to the EULA as well as making the game more fun with some changes would be impossible as well (code is very broken like mentioned before)

 

There's been several updates to War in the last 3 months - it is getting more attention than most other gamemodes.

If War is never updated, the gamemode would get stale and everyone will quit (as happened with Legacy). Brawl isn't going anywhere - it has been growing a lot recently, and while it's obviously no-where near the 3,000 players we used to hit, it doesn't have to be. Holding us to those standards makes no sense - we're not a large server, and haven't been for years.

Which is why we haven't given up on War by reverting to a version which can no longer be updated.

 

I'm talking about attention from staff. CTF is getting more, as it has a very large and dedicated community (meaning many more staff applicants than other gamemodes) and has the biggest playerbase out of any of our gamemodes, but War is also getting frequent updates and events, and has a large staff team as well.

This is because War 2.0 was long overdue. By the time War 2.0 was released, the game was already stale and most of War's playerbase had already moved on. It also had to do with players not giving War 2.0 a shot - the majority of War players still around when 2.0 was released played 2.0 for a very small amount of time before completely dismissing it and not giving it a chance.

As you said before, War now has a very small playerbase. It regularly gets enough players for games to be enjoyable (15+ players), and this would no longer be possible if War's playerbase was split. It's either War 2.0, or Legacy War, not both. This will remain the case until War's playerbase grows.
