Server Support / Re: Just an ideal about 203 for Hospital map
« on: Tuesday, June 26, 2018, 06:19:26 AM »
I've said this before but I guess I'll have to do so again.
203 was disabled on SF Hospital for a trial period on November 11 2014. The trial ran for a week, after which a poll was made to ask the users whether or not they like the change. This is the result:
A few months later, another poll was made to make sure players were still in favor of the 203. The results were relatively similar:
Roughly a month later, a third vote was carried out. The results hadn't changed (even though less people cared to vote):
Now, I know there's been (at least) one unofficial vote about 203 later. Not only was the poll not an official one, it was also asked in an extremely biased way. Furthermore, some people also voted more than once on the very same poll which significantly lessens its credibility.
I see some people complain about the 203 issue (in the hijacked thread) and claim their opinion to be that of the people while the polls we've held in the passed clearly show they're not. The problem with opinions is that the people who have negative ones tend to be extremely vocal about it whereas the people who don't have a problem with the current situation, don't feel the need to express themselves. I see a few people strongly advocate their point of view and bring their friends who share that point of view to argue their point as well. But no single person and their group of friends or their clan makes up the complete list of players. Just because the people you ask share your opinion, doesn't mean others do as well. People just tend to socialize with others with similar views.
You people are right, our player base is diminishing. But that has a lot more to do with the fact that the game is more than 10 years old now than it has with 203 on SF Hospital. People (especially young people) just prefer more fast paced and newer games to an old one like this one. Others who used to play, have moved on - either to other games or to something else entirely in their life.
Let us continue to make it possible for new players to join the game. Let us make the changes necessary for people to (eventually) be able to change their in game name and password. These are the important things that we need to worry about right now. As without this, your forgotten password might mean you can never play the game again. And without the players, it really doesn't matter whether or not a map has been modified or not.
