We've got peeps much smarter than I -a very low bar- working on it, and we are always listening for suggestions.
I will state the following:
As of late, say the past few months; every Admin/Staff member interaction I've had, whether the outcome be good or bad; They have been concise and fair.
You have all turned what was a generally dis-likeable team due to circle jerking/general BS into something good.
I really do, bow before you with thanks.
Server activity as a whole died more and more over the years due to awful dev's and admins. Try to deny it, you are part of the problem. It's a viscous cycle.
Official factions used to have indefinite control over their factions story, system and general moves. This meant they had desire to play, as they weren't just going to get shat on by awful story decisions.
Indies, long standing or new ones seeing lots of official tagged players working together also generated a desire to be part of whatever faction they are observing, which means they then tell their friends about a cool game they are playing, it breeds more and more activity almost indefinitely to the point where you have 200 slots on the server AND CANT GET IN!!!!
Remove all the "balance" Haste has done, return the game back into the "Fun arcade style roleplay game" it once was.
These few but significant changes would make Discovery so, so much better. People would return and dinosaur factions like LH~ would never have been lost. Just the faction idea/concept of LH~ was more immersive that 99% of what exists today. Ignore your personal hate for the players who ran it, go read their faction write up- THAT is what Disco used to be.
