We had a signature of the week dedicated to creating an advertisement banner which would be used, you can see it here: https://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=10546.0, I won the competition (and the rank of graphic designer) however the rank was removed from me due to "not using the banner anywhere" by Mary, I believe.
Anyway, I do believe we should have voting enabled again with items which would not affect the economy (so consumables, etc...). I know a few posts mentioned that it did not work out last time which is the main reason it got removed however, surely having it enabled would not harm the server? At least 1 new player would be better than none (if voting does not get enabled).
note: I have not read all of the replies within the topic therefore if this has been mentioned already feel free to ignore me.
Hey Ozzy we havent spoken in a long time man, hope you are doing well.
RSPS are just dying in general, although I personally believe with a combination of a voting system, more advertising, and the addition of unique features this RSPS could grow substantially. One of the things that made this server stand out from all of the others back before it was shut down was the fact that people had the option to use either the older style graphics OR the new style, a very unique feature in my opinion that would bring back a lot of veteran players, and attract new players that are interested in using one of the available styles.
I will be honest, I came back and played for a solid year after the re-launch of Emps, what finally killed it for me is the graphics style, and how easy the game had become with double xp weekends and other shit. When I originally started playing Emps the game actually felt challenging and I felt like I was actually accomplishing something by getting 99s. Now getting a 200m stat is easy as all hell in my opinion. The game just lost its sense of achievement for me, I have not even bothered logging in to get 99 construction because I know I can buy a couple of double XP tickets and get 99 in a matter of hours.... Whats the point?
Even things like rare items are near impossible to work towards anymore because the people that own the items hoard them and/or are inactive, another thing i loved working towards back in the old Emps days.
I now only login twice a week to flip items to build my bank in the hopes that something changes about the game that motivates me to come back, adding new content will not make me come back to the game, only a drastic change in the way this server is ran in comparison to the old Emps will. I have been saying this for ages now and nobody listens.
