Well, although I doubt this will be listen too, I still care for ibis so I want to give some advice of what I think needs to be changed, whatever you want to do with it is entirely up to the guys who runs this etc

1. IBIS zm is a little bit of everything, which is bad. The server has to decide what kind of zombie mod it want to be, people want to play on a specific server PL fot a mod build around no reload and i3D is build around ZE. We need to pick a way what we want to be, everything is too simple and it doesn't work anymore, allot of ZE maps do not work here.

2. Simplify the maps, pick strong good maps and ditch the easy ones, make a strong selection, the bigger the choice the more chances you have that people leave, if you stick to a good circle people know what there up too.

3. Remove difficult long ze maps, instead organize events in weekends, we got a big sleeping community (ibis regular) make them active, people will come and check and maybe some of those people will stick around, anyway it is still better then to do nothing.

4. Add donator, people can pay for a reserve slot, but instead of that add donator with a reserve slot build in, keep it cheap like 4 dollar and add some stuff, lot of people don't wanna have the burden of being admin, but they do want special stuff something to spice up there game experience. 4 dollar isn't much but it is a small step for people, and you keep your people to your server

5. Ranking, remove or reset everything, add a new system like PL or just reset it, start fresh and remodel it so that it works with the new ibis zm you want to roll out. all people talk about is the fucking ranking, make it less imported, remove stuff like show rank ingame show k/d ingame, to stop eepening.

6. Clan needs to be more visible, No one knows who ibis is on the ibis servers, wow great advertisement. Because of how ibis recruit there people, you got the problem now that ibis has lost it's touch with it's own player base, and those who do care are heard. How is it fucking possible that people who are merely ghosts from the past can decide over the now day ibis. ibis needs fresh meat, fresh ideas if you want to keep ibis alive there needs to be changes, innovation. people who are not active cannot play an active rol on this. So either take your lazy butt off the couch and become active again, or decide to give the stick to you newer lads. Also Zero is a great guy, but it seems the whole system falls when he is gone. no company can survive with just 1 man. and ibis is a company, you want to service people a experience in gaming, then become professional and make a team. more servers can do this so why can't ibis.

7. The community needs to have a change too, when i read these forums it looks like last man standing, people mouthing each other off, trying to be bigger then there actually are, people are tired of this, they wanna be taken serious not be pissed on. Also racism is also a problem which seems to stick around on ibis. There no real strong rules and people walk away from this and the servers, who want to be in a place where it is filled with hatred (or so it seems) it also brings an uneasy atmosphere ingame. time has changed and ibis is still living like it is 2008.

I like ibis, and i have been a jerk in the past, but all for one cause, to wake this community up. Allot of people now see that the community decreasing and in the end we don't want that. Make choices because with all we got now it will not work. Pub is death, accept it. WCS well I don't play it maybe use the potential for the new ZM server you wanna build, more slots etc or whatever you guys wanna do with it. Just realize that the path were on now is a dead end.

Thank you for reading the wall of text, decide what you want to do with this. I doubt I will be playing on ibis again, I think both ibis and me are tired of each other. I have no regrets and I wish you all the best.
