Ah I am sorry about not responding to this sooner. Life is harsh, I will try to respond to as many comments as I can.
If this is true, that Raz is the only one who can open and close the registration, then I can understand if it could be a strain on him. Maybe if they want to do this, Raz could pick out days and times that he could open the registration, granted if he has any free time other than what he does to open the registration. Then it would be easier for everyone to get registered. Again, if I knew more about how the registration works, then I could elaborate more on this subject.
I do have to comment on the over protection. I agree that being over protective is slowly suffocating the game and all it's glory, but I do see why they've come to do that. I think they could pull back a bit with the protecting, just a little bit. I have a feeling that if they keep clamping down on protecting it, then the game will slowly die off.
I won't disagree that having to take care of a game + your life is too hard and it needs monitoring and it can be difficult for Raz and for the admins respecrtively. All of the admins are working hard on it and people fail to realize they've been pushed alot, judged by their skills alot when more than a few people were disappointed, causing alot of admins to leave their possition and having to take care of this game while they have their own families, jobs and houses to take care on it can be tiring.
But it comes to the time where you see that the game is slowly getting decreased and challenged by other games on population, reputation and consept. Alot of people who wanted to join Feral-Heart gave up on it because they couldn't join and chose other options such as IT servers, Cereal Soup and such.
I think they should open the registractions every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This way people can easily have access to the game, get more populated and if they start advertising the updates by giving sneak peeks on youtube and other social media, people will start getting interested and the community will start growing again.
I wasn't around when "The Hack" happened. But almost 3 years have passed since then and I think that the community has had enough time to heal. I know that the staff is doing what they can to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, but I believe that it's time to open the registration
About the hack, if I remember right, they were messing with the game's codes and were making everyone disconnect and they had also hacked some members and admins' accounts and said weird stuff. I remember I was in bonfire when that happened and I briefly remember a guy who had a character of an angry bird talking to me LOL
they had made the feral-heart.com/login page now to prevent this and I think that is good enough. The registraction limit did good to protect the game for a few months - year but now the game is getting cliche.
It's like the IT servers that you just end up chasing around mobs, gaining abilities, all the items and then being nothing left to do, you end up making a new character and restart from bottom. All the Rps are limited to 3. No more fantasy or roleplaying in the public maps, The Grounds is just a square now. The old maps were large enough to have plenty of room for exploring and roleplaying and it's just sad how the game has turned now.
I'd really go for a new beginning to the game and for this to happen we need new people. Otherwise I fear the worst will come for the game. Now the protection became too much and it's leading towards destruction.
I think both members and admins need to have some consideration; Admins to sit and think what the members say (or the logical ones) and members to stop pressuring and pushing the admins to take quick measures and then bashing on them when the outcome is not as expected. The 'bad' current update happened because most of members were pushy and judgemental towards the game. Yes a short update would be nice but not if forced. Most of these members are now gone and probably returned on a sneak account. It's just sad that we must make it crystal clear that we need eachother's support to make the game work.
