This isnt just a suggestion or another thread pleading for the admins/stephen to do something that will never get done. You HAVE to do this, more than 1/2 of the members of the server would approve and a popular vote is enough to do something so simple as a restart. This isnt changing the game, its not editing the game play or the ships, just restart the server. As the absence of any UW continues and the big rich stay up top for longer and longer unchanged less and less people sign on to play every day. This includes myself. I sign on, only to find I still have a stale 40 billion in the bank, unchanged since 4 months ago. The same people are in the millions, and the same people are picking on the little guys out of DP below 200k coughmetalmelitiacough. Restarting the game would, no doubt WOULD create a surge in activity. Its not a maybe, its an absolute guarantee. Ive played 3 other online games since spacefed, and every single one has a regular restart interval to stimulate game growth and fresh start for newbies. This game doesnt, and thats why its death has been a long time coming. You dont have to change the whole game to make more people play, and restarting it would not be a complete solution, but it sure would help a lot.
