During this time, you create a hype in discord by doing discord invite competitions for irl money or 07 GP. The hype for a reset would allow you to get 200-600 players on release, IF done properly. Who would want to join an rsps where everyone practically has every max set? As a new player who looked at an advertisement banner or video relating to battlescape, I know I wouldn't play. It just makes the regular mode ironman and doesn't create an actual economy where people trade. A reset will fix this problem, if done properly. It was clear when palidino created w2 and got 100-200 players but his lack of will to do updates is what brought the server down. But now, he has a second developer to help him, speeding things up. Both developers have lost the will to put out consistent updates and advertisements and witnessing it hasn't helped them at all.

resetting the server would make any old loyal player quit for good, so palidino would be starting from scratch meaning it would take years to develop a loyal player base again. it's a brainless move to reset again.
