ok what is the deal with our zone lately. it seems as if things are reverting more and more to the eg level of play. the upgrades, the maps (maybe) changing, the level of play, greens, ect.. ect.. me, as a player, i do not like it, i started to play here in swz for the fact that it was the different more basic zone, there were none of these hueg "added features to make it more enticing for all 'n00bs' to come play". it seemed intersting in the fact that the people who played there were some of the greats of the game. but now the way things are progressing it seems more and more, almost daily, that things are reverting to the "enticing mode". which may not be a bad thing cause yea we do need some more players here or there, but to th extent we are doing it, i do not believe that it will end up good for the "oldies/vets" in the long run. just my 2 cents.

It's been heading that for a long time sadly.  I guess it's a matter of numbers, do you want a bunch of a tired old vets talking about how everything was better in vie beta, or hordes of newbies who can barely attach. I suggest you do what I did.... stop caring about pub.IP: Logged |

Gee you guys make it sound like swz is getting really bad, lol maybe I won't come back :P. Just a thought, I think all the greats miss the old days, not just because of the way the settings were but for the memories and that excitement of something new  .IP: Logged |

Just because pointman is helping improve swz does not mean he is turning it ito eg. 1) why the hell would he want to steal players from his main zone eg? 2) How is the new map like eg? The new eg map has a similar layout to the current swz map but remember which one came first  SWZ does not have 1 shot death kills (although it used to). SWZ does not have a spawn in center safe. Oh and as far as flag upgrages go? Well that was requested by many veteran swz players. That was also an old feature of swz that you noobs dont recall. Please don't start blasting on pointman for helping rebuild swz. He is one of the nicest most respected sysops in all of subspace and I for one am grateful he is taking the time to help us grow as a zone.

calm...simmer...i recall having ungrades and all that back in the day, but why revert back to it. i mean yea for a bit it is fun, but on a normal basis i disagree, swz was and is unlike most other zones, adding in features that others continously use makes us the "norm" instead of the outsider.i like the way of the outsider, which is what catch my attention to the zone a lon ways back, don't get me wrong though. i am not saying 100% we are chanign drastically. but the world wasn't built in one day, nor will swz be re-built, so why add in "new features" to try to appeal to others. if they like the way it was they like it, no need to change to suit the new needs.

I keep hearing the phrase "new features" but never an explanation of what it means. And Quick, why get hung up on ship upgrades when they're only possible at most 1 day out of the week?-Craw IP: Logged |

The flag upgrades and new map remind me of how swz was when i first started playing here. Kind of nostalgic =P I don't see what the problem is. Flag upgrades for a few hours once a week? If you don't like it, take a nap for a few hours and come back.I agree with everything My Looks said (whoever he is). wweii, SWZ is not the problem, no one is happy with anything anymore and wouldn't be satisfied no matter what. In the past few years, yes, there have been a few changes to SWZ, but I think most of the change has come from the players's attitudes, which of late, has become increasingly negative. I can sum up about 99.9% of whats said on our chats in just a few words: "WTF? Lagger! Eater! Tank! In such a negative atmosphere, no wonder people see conspiracies everywhere =P You'd be surprised how your attitude can influence your perception of the game (psychology major talking here =) Would be really nice to see a little less whining. -TCDR IP: Logged |

swz is good. I just came back less than a month ago and i didn't even notice any changes in the settings (except flag upgrades on priv freq nights). But, i suggest the return of private freqs. We had less n00bs back then, and more fun. If the newbies wanna complain about not being able to be on the "good" team, they can suck on my hairy sack. period. (bring back privs) now.~NR btw-vchip, what is ur icq/email? IP: Logged |

I started playing in SWZ back in 1998 when I first downloaded SS... in fact it was one of the first zones I went into... I've been away for about a year now, but now that I'm back, I haven't really noticed any HUGE changes, and any that I have seen are for the better; I like the new map and bases, the tileset looks better, etc... But most of all I like the players, and I've seen that that hasn't changed much either! I play almost exclusively in SWZ, but I've tried other zones, and I have to say a major difference is that players actually TALK to one another in SWZ! Granted a lot of it is stuff like "lamer" and "ez" and "WTF YOU GODDAMN LAGGER!!!"... but the people who play there a lot, many of which I remember from my first days of SS, are on the whole a great community! Maybe it has to do with the teamwork fostered by a GOOD flag game (not one with only 4 people from your freq flagging and the other 20 centerkilling), but people get to know each other and learn to work together... I for one welcome the influx of new players, as they keep this wonderful zone growing! I know there are the occasional misfits that start trash with a mod, not realizing that SWZ is volunteer-run, but that's to be expected anywhere... But basically it was remembering the great and supportive community that brought me back to the zone and to SS in general! In particular it was Mom sending me a christmas card long after I had last talked with her that made me think of that! I guess what I'm trying to say is... *sniff*... I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!Ok, just had to get that off my chest... Happy Holidays to all! IP: Logged |
