Some of us do continue, and haven't given up. That's why after a month of the server being down previously, the day it came back up there were 3 of us online lol
As far as "disclosure" of the game goes, which I can only take to mean getting it out to the world... I would love nothing more than to see the game grow, but to be perfectly honest, I don't want more than 70-100 people playing it anyway. It loses the community feel it's always had once you get into numbers like that. Back to the point though, I've got a website sitting on my WAMP server here at the house, but until the GMs start caring and Zer starts showing some interaction again, that is where they will stay. As cheap as a web server/domain may be, I'm not going to spend any money on a game when the people who can do something with it refuse to.
I also know many others that still have websites for Faldon up and running, as well as many youtube videos of Faldon. The problem isn't getting the name out there, it's getting the people that can do something with it to care and start doing.
I've spoken to a number of new players that found the game via forums and youtube videos, and many of them tried talking their friends into playing. Everyone has the same complaint though.... Why would they play a game that has no signs of progress? Faldon, in it's current state, requires more than just being a gamer in order to enjoy. You have to look beyond graphics and gameplay. You have to be either an achiever or an addict, and in the midst of that, you have to be able to deal with flying solo.
One last point, and then I'll be done with my daily ranting (I think). These forums aren't helping the game a single bit... For those that do come across the main page, other pages, forums about gaming, youtube videos, or whatever else, and decide to look into some strategy or see what kind of people play, they get to see the forum boards spammed with messages from all the current players talking about how dead the game is and how nobody cares. Yeah, I'm one of them, but since the game is dead anyway, I don't really care lol (see the irony? it's a cycle of failure).
The only solution to see Faldon come back to life, is to completely wipe it all. The server, website, and forums alike all need to be completely reset and start over fresh. End the existence it currently has and give it a new life to start fresh from.
