Faldon rules ATTN: Zer

I think a more relevant question is:

If Zer really is going to revive this game, what do we do with the current database?
Do old Faldon players need to suffer by playing alongside cheaters with all the items available in faldon in their banks?
As an old player I know what players have done in this game and as much as I like the new client I actually wont be playing this as long as the old database exists alongside new players. No interest in playing with cheaters that are level 1000+ whatsoever. Not to mention all the GMs that has been doing some dirty works for some players along the years and yeah then we have like 50 players that can return to their banks stacked with billions, probably aquired from cheating or giveaways.

I was one of the players that got one of the wealthiest players account and gave it all back to the player when he got back after a few days because I had to interest in playing that sort of a game and I still dont.

All in all Its nice to see that Zer is putting energy into this after like 10 years?
And yeah I have been playing the game when it still was OK but at some point I realised that playing this game as an honest player doesn't exist anymore. Its all about getting "that" application to get to level 1000+ or rob "that" account for some goodies to be able and compete with anyone anymore.

I can promise you one thing though, if you create another server for players to pick then the old server will be empty for sure. I would start leveling on the new server right now and farm just like 10 years ago. But limiting us to this old database that is corrupt and trash is the same as not reviving the game at all.

I might sound unthankfull but Id rather play the old Faldon where you fixed som bugs and removed cheating with a healthy database than play on the current server with all the updates. Updating the shell doesnt make things beautiful inside, Its just a momentary thing that people will realise very soon especially new players that start at level 1, gets to 40 and suddenly they see 20 level 1500s maxed out standing in the town. They will leave faster than you can say Hello.

Hope you guys take everyones input seriously and I know Its a bit too soon to post this since the client isnt finished but if you dont plan doing anything about this then for me personally what you do is just timewaste. Of course you are maybe having fun coding but thats another story

PS Sorry to ruin it for the players that has been playing even when Faldon was at Its worst but hey, why do I have to suffer for that? As I wrote, make two servers and let those players that want to play with themselves be there the rest of their lifes. I think a new server would bring many more players and become 100x more popular than the corrupt trash server.

The exsisting mods and gm's are enough. We just need a server reset. people would come back then and we got tons of M's and GM's. This server dosen't need to go crazy like cokeberts server.

yes we def need to work out any existing bugs. i understand not wanting to play with current data base but i do think using the current data base as a BETA is the wisest decision. things need to be worked on so when there is a full wipe/release zer can enjoy rather than working his bum off trying to fix all the needy childrens issues 

Yes. From what I gathered from his post, and talking to him, he is working on getting the Playground server and some tools for it to a point in which it can enter testing. New language, new logic... the new client will work with it just the same as it does with the old server, as far as I can tell. He's less focused on the new client because it's already at a point in which testing can be done with it.... Once the server is firmed up, then the client can be worked on more.

He purposefully left the client files exposed and easily edited to let people play with and customize it (sort of like what I did with my Quality of Life improvement post I made). You can actually go through and add a completely customized UI of your own, if you really wanted to.
