We need to bring some more excitement into the server. I'm hoping that ZERO does something about this when he comes back/is available to do these changes so the server can be revitalized. And the ZE/ZM server isn't working. They need to be split as well. And don't come with the bullshit statement saying, "The server is already dead. Splitting it will kill it completely" when anex just stated that the server is most popular when the server is on a ZE map. There's also factual proof so please don't bullshit me. I'm just trying to give some constrictive feedback so the server could become popular.

Hopefully when ZERO reads this in his spare time he actually listens. He needs to stop letting this go from one ear to the other and instead just give this a try. There's a reason why people are leaving and why the server is less popular now. We seriously need to catch up. And yes I understand this place likes to be old school, but come on... If we keep the server(s) like this, something will happen sooner than later...

Again, I'm not down talking the server, I'm just trying to give my two cents and see if something can be done.
99% of all ZM maps that have ever been created are just terrible, slapped-together pieces of garbage. We play the same maps over and over because they're the few gems floating around in a sea of shit. If anything, the server has too many maps, not too few. If it was up to me I'd go through the list and weed out the crap maps before I'd ever think about adding new ones. I'd also give serious consideration to simply removing the long, difficult tryhard maps that don't work like Mako, Skyrim, Westersand, Predator, etc. It would be a shame if we couldn't play Voodoo, Icecap, Moria, Rooftop, Sorrento and other fun, simple escape maps because they've been banished to a ZE-only server that might not get that much traffic. For all we know it could end up like the pub where the only time you can get a full game is if you get a bunch of people from the other IBIS servers to join for a while.

As for chat colors and skins, that shit sucks. Sorry. GFL is a total madhouse these days because of this stuff. It makes the chat harder to read and tell who is human/zombie. It used to be a lot more playable there because there were only a few different human skins and they kept the stupid chat colors to a minimum. Now apparently it's anything goes, and it drives me crazy to spend a few minutes there.
