Hello,
The FOnline gaming community currently has several PvP servers, where I had the opportunity to look again (unfortunately) for some known players's behaviours that (also unfortunately) tired me two years ago. The current active game staff is just one person and that's me. I have a really interesting life, which means that I have neither the time nor even the desire to watch whether the game is played according to its rules. In addition, I am too old to bring up other children in the field of volunteering. For a long time I was trying to find someone who can be the game master, and even though several people volunteered, it always failed.
The current season, which has been or is being prepared, has several new features and mechanics that are significantly different from previous seasons, and not even found anywhere else on any FOnline server. Unfortunately, although the server was under development, it remained online, open for testing and provided specific information about it, no one decided to start checking its consistency. As far as possible, I checked everything myself, eliminating all encountered errors on a regular basis. I know that I wasn't able to catch all of them by myself and now I will not find time to observe the correctness of the gameplay.
Now, even if there is someone willing to become a game master, I will not fire up the server at the last minute. The tools that he will have at his disposal may not differ much from the classic ones, but there are many new types of them and here too - time will be needed to explain everything, answer questions or even clarify something.
In order to avoid unnecessary dramatic scenes, I can't lower the requirements for this position.
The current number of active servers is quite high, and in the near future at least one of them will start another season.
In summary, this is not the best time to start Aftertimes.
Server start will be delayed and the specific date will be presented shortly before the start itself.
I'm not leaving this project and I will still working on it by introducing new features, fixes for unwanted bugs, stability and security issues.
