We haven't given up yet which is why the forums and such are still up, as mentioned in the pulse we will have a meeting sometime this week to then write a post up which should be out before Christmas on what our next steps are going to be.
If FL does come back up, the experience will be different to what many older players remember and that might be something that'll disappoint some of you. While we all have different ideas on the best way to move forward, the truth is the server can not survive on players that have full time jobs and may only be able to join for a few hours a day at most. The majority of older players fall into this category, and therefore it isn't a group we can primarily cater towards. We have to cater towards those who do have all that free time we once did many years ago and for that to happen things must change to be more approachable. These changes are based on what other servers have and data collected from when many in the team joined on new accounts to test the new player experience back when the server was populated. I just want to be clear on this now to avoid any disappointment that it isn't going to be a quick nostalgia trip, as fun that would be we also know (and have seen) that it doesn't work for more than a few days.
That all being said, we're open to any suggestions on how we can best approach any relaunch especially given how much more is now possible with our core changes to the gamemode. The main focus is on any systems being extremely easy to understand (for example, avoiding a ton of obscure commands) and not having a reliance on a certain amount of players online for anything to be done (FL has always required a decent amount of players on before any RP can actually be done, things like the delivery job are critical in providing something to do before more players are online).
