Admins: Drastic measure to get population. Good idea within.

I don't have to talk about the state of the current server populations.  Here is the plan though, for EU and NA:

The year of mercy: Unbans. 

Unban all the people who have been perma-banned, and message them that they are free.  This will give us a good shot in the arm, and bring back some favorite players.

What about all the trolls and really bad guys?  Two points:
1.) I don't think dozens and dozens of people will respond to this freedom, so it's not a big issue.  We're talking a handful that will probably respond.
2.) The real ass trolls, if there are any, will sort themselves out quickly and be re-banned anyways.


Final Question to ask yourselves for those who doubt:

At this point, what do we have to lose?

we have way too less admins to do that.

Probably one thing you are forgetting is that people who have been banned for a long time will be enraged already, and the only thing that could even motivate them to come back would be to create chaos as retaliation or nonchalantly repeat the actions that got them banned in the first place.

Why bother? If revival means apocalypse, let the dead remain dead.

That is interesting.  My post gives two reasons why it specifically cannot spell apocalypse.  I guess some people just aren't in to this idea though.

Oh well.

Could help, but sadly I don't think there is any sufficient number of people who would start playing again once unbanned, who knows though.

I dunno if this would be advisable as we begin shifting gears into welcoming a new community as Dev blogs and BG slowly emerge their heads.

In most perma-cases, I'm doubting they haven't moved on in other gaming progression.
Rejoining under a new name and key has never been a difficulty...

If they want to return to this... like cRPG (as it's coffin nails are slowly tapped into place).
I'd welcome a return... Hopefully... Maybe... Doubtfully, time has killed the inner-shithead within them.

But combatants are just that, and I could use more skulls for the skull throne.

Every good thing has an end , and cRPG is living its last times. Please let me remember it as a fun mod with events battles friends , not a game filled with chocolate chip cookies , bundle of stickss and abused children

Import muslims. Population issues fixed. Except... this mod is kinda like my country, so bad that even muslims wont stay here. Talkin about hittin rock bottom.

Edit: To give meaningful opinion... because I'm part of your idea. Permabanned, you know. You can unban me and I still won't touch current cRPG with 10 feet pole. So much for your suggestion.

I think most of us would like to proceed with cremation and spreading of the ashes at this time. No need to disrespect the mod's carcass and keep it rotting in an open casket.

I'm against blanket unban, but why not unban all that were perma'ed because of poor attitude/TK's, and simple exploits like glitches, afk/leeching?
Basically, unbanning the most harmless.

But I understand that even this would require admins to monitor the situation, so if there is not enough people ready to do it, just keep it as is.

Well, that's not a lot of work, something that even a single admin can do, but access to some of the bans is restricted only to only the highest ranking people.

Also, I don't think WE would have to monitor them - players would manage that just fine, given how proficient some are at reporting even the smallest shit  :wink:

Besides, and what is most important,
