[SC] Future of Darkorbit - Ideas,Rambling,opinions

I have been playing since 2010 and anyone from those days can remember the servers were packed, hundreds of players in each map! Events like invasion was awesome especially when it was easier to kill the kurb (sorry can't remember full name) I used to get 16 mill credits as a newbie back then It used to make my heart skip a beat haha. Well what I'm trying to say is that now it's nothing like that it's the polar opposite. If we lucky a few hundred players in the entire server and events are dead. Many players have argued for server mergers for years now it never happened and just recently, they talked about the problems of the server merger and a possible solution.

Well I have my own solution to this problem. Firstly Darkorbit makes a sepearate test site for DarkOrbit with the test servers America, Europe and Asia. The test site is basically a copy of the orginal site Darkorbit Reloaded however it's for tests hence it's called a 'test site'. All the data of accounts are copied across to the test site and put into the correct servers for example GB1,GB2 and the german, spanish servers are all put in the European server 'OR' players can start afresh with 25 million Urdium and Credits or more I don't care but minimum 10 million this is an incentive to get players to join the test server and have a short amount of fun with the premium currency and play around with players. The servers will be up for 5-7 days. Yes Darkorbit developers be kind you should still be happy you got loyal players still playing this game so give them a decent amount and let them have fun for a week. Well the reason for the test site is so you can merge the servers all 3 into one server massive server any bugs or glitches occur you can record and fix it and for the chat system you will need to work on a new chat system and add more tabs for each language and a mod for the each chat. If it all goes well there should be 3/7k players in the entire server probably the first time numbers that high in DO server since 2013. If it all goes well you can do a in game survey and ask the players on the original site if there server should be merged with another server knowing the consequences of possible loss of rankings.

or
Just make a Darkorbit 2 with the 2d version only with 3 servers America, Europe, Asia modify it and add new features such as the chat and languages and new events, ships and new ranking or leagues. Advertise it, send emails to all the players who singed up for darkorbit and all the players who wanted a server merge can start afresh in those servers and play together and over time the server population will increase to the thousands.

This was one of the best space games I ever played it was one of the biggest back in the day with millions if not tens of millions of active players but over time the active player numbers decreased because DO kept giving us crappy updates which cost more and more and get you to spend real money. Some updates were great I'm not saying every update was shit. However the only best space game out there other than DO is Eve online and thats targeted for paying players only. What about the other massive audience or teenagers who don't have credit cards and want to play an MMO space game but darkorbit is dead no fun. Yes Darkorbit need money but not everyone is going to pay. The numbers are what gets players to join and play and due to that there will be millions of adults in between millions of non paying users who will pay and give darkorbit the money. Lets say you join a mmo game and in the entire server there is about a 100 players no matter how good the game is im outta that server in a flash. I came to play with thousands of players make clans and attack other maps. Events which are packed out and have an epic time in.

Darkorbit please fix your game I really want to play it but it's boring as hell with just a hundred players in the entire server that's boring [REMOVED]. You're game is so bad and boring it's giving me a passion to learn programming and coding and make my own space game and show you guys how it's done. But I still respect you guys, you got till end of the year to fix the game after that this game is pretty much gone forever. Unless you got millions to advertise it again and fixed the game up then maybe you can revive it.

Sorry that I went rambling on I just wanted to let you guys know and if you read this far well...well done and sorry for wasting your time. If you want change then the players the community need to unite and tell darkorbit what to do just don't stand there on the side waiting for darkorbit to take action because a few players are saying it.

Excuse my terrible grammar and punctuation I did this in a rush with a crappy keyboard.
