I'm going to be the devil's advocate here, but without the intention of hurting anyone personally.
Consider ^ a disclaimer, as it's really not what I'm trying to do. Yet, there are two sides of every story and/or situation.
Therefore when I mention names, please do not feel disheartened by the point I'm trying to put across.
The current state of Feral Heart has been a state that, I believe, is beyond saving by now. This has been an ongoing problem for years and will perhaps continue to be this way for years to come. If things could be different and there was hope, I don't believe the two administrators would have resigned from their position. Especially LordSuragaha, as she was loyal to the community and tried her best to cater towards everyone's needs while also hitting the criteria that Razmirz would set out before the Staff Team.
Why has it been this way?
As we all will have come to terms with by now, there are several factors.
While yes the Staff work for the community and have tried many handfuls of times to make things work, their work is also a factor of Feral Heart's downfall.
The Feral Heart Staff Team were a very close-knit team and their behaviour very much displayed this. They were, maybe still are, family to one another.
However, they had and will continue to have a bad side to their reputation. There have been claims of wrongful bans being handed out, as well as in-game kicks, etc. and there was even plenty of pages of evidence to prove this, Tumblr/deviantArt being the most popular. Of course, these situations were denied & ignored.
As well as this, there have been occasions where overall attitude radiating off of Staff's attitude or the Team as a whole have been disheartening, causing more to leave. After all, how can someone feel welcome when they're spoken down to?
This is an issue that was not generally mentioned because of lingering fear of being shut down. If people tried to express such concern and publically posted, they were locked and moved out of the sight of the community, being told to Private Message the Staff instead. Yet if a member was feeling so intimidated, taking it to a PM was the last thing on their mind.
There are countless examples of times when members of the Staff Team give very emotionally driven responses that are actually unprofessional. Lack of professionalism will not help the game survive, in fact bury it even deeper.
This has come from Razmirz's lack of activity and drive/workload for them to finish whilst he's busy running errands with his job. It has also come from them being irritated by the community begging the same questions, over and over... which is what happens when the question(s) go unanswered. Simply because those that ask it has FH's survival in their best interest.
Much of the community have left because of the Staff Team alone.
So while yes, they have put A LOT of effort into keeping Feral Heart alive, they have also put a lot of unintentional effort into killing it all the same.
Razmirz, FH Staff, Toxic Community Members.
We all play a part.
Yet, some more than others.
We may need leadership, but is it really need new Administrators we need, or a new Server Master?
That's why Feral Heart Unleashed exists and a lot of people have migrated. xSpirit has made promises that he can actually keep, while also proving that he's much more capable of handling FH in comparison to Razmirz nowadays.
Now I know I'll receive the "but they're two different games" but the community will always be the same. The same users. The same game. Different features & updates, staff, standards. No matter how much people will avoid it, it's a matter of fact that FHU will continue FH's legacy upon release and FH will still have the occasional activity on the forum and briefly in-game, but overall perish.
Unless Raz has something up his sleeve?
Who knows.
But again, I only play the devil's advocate because I like to see balance in discussion.
We have to take in all or the major factors, before we can conclude what the best route is to take to keep a heartbeat on FH.
