Should we also forget the fact mods receive constant exp boosts, can lock sailors to a specific level, and are give olives and other items for free. Now considering TNF is given these items, shouldn't they be in game and aiding players in game. Or actually playing the game more then once a month?. If you don't have time to be in game and active , maybe it's time to step down from the mod position and allow someone who is able to play with the community.
 Go login Notice the massive drop in players, notice how the steam event boosted skirmish for weeks yet no skirmish rooms where played. 

You claim to be available to players via support ticket system, Skype, and in private messages. All is true.  How many times do we as a player base need to explain the player base is dwindling. When mods don't even play the game, that speaks more then anything. 

Hi RedRider! Well, i can't "lock sailors", resigned to my payments because just want to help NF players and SDE to keep this on the road, and try to be online every day, every moment i have. The problem is maybe we just don't match because our time zones. Any help, feel free to ask. I'm covering Vuur till he can be active again.

And about playerbase leak, well, we have to wait till next event. Greed is no good for NF playerbase numbers. The core of playerbase are people who enjoy the game, loyal people who after all this years still find NF a good game (oh, I love NF). But many many many players just want to be here crying for free stuffs. I can't change their minds. Just keep the hope the NF loyal players keep enjoing this awesome, unique and funny game after many years.

Bless to you buddy!.

First off wow. One of you actually took the time to write something. Although I'd rather see answers elsewhere it's at least something.

Now I will tell you it's not the events or free stuff and exp boosts that everyone is crying for. Yes it will help to bring back people but I don't think that's the real reason.
Broken Contect, none of which has been addressed or fixed in a year, is the biggest problem. 
Short staff? Not my problem. We expect a functional game expecially if we're to put money into it. There is so much not working now or not working properly it's a joke.
We the players can compile a list if you'd like and you can inform us if anything can be done about it. 
I already have everything. Only reason I'm not palying as much is there is not enough players to play with. Waiting 10 minutes for a room that doesn't fill is not worth mine or others time. Now you can say well don't play.. and that is true. But I should think you guys would want more players too. I don't care for events other than they bring people back if not for a short period of time before they realise nothing has been fixed.
Cheers.

 

I can agree. Many wish for the event out of greed. My only hope is to log on and see more than one battle going with more then 12 bb and 3 cvs. 
You maybe one once a day, we have players all over the world trying to play..the time zone you or others are in might not be effected. Other time zones are. I'm living in CST. By the time I get on, it's 9-11 my time. Which isn't late for the server. But rooms only fill after 20 minutes. And that's due to a host being afk and the first room cancels, the second launches at 9 minutes. And I say full as in 18 bbs 6 cvs because that's the best games at that time. I could care less for free stuff, or drops. But as you mention a large chunk of the community is greedy. It's how modern games have evolved. As many know NFis a major grind, so asking a uninvested player to spend 3 months playing to get a high teir ship, that's nearly impossible. Especially when other games have massive Christmas events pulling players into. 

 

Thanks vuur.
I actually do appreciate the response and I can say I thought you were quite honest.
It's a lot easier to read and  take in what someone is saying when they actually know what they are talking about and are being honest. 
Sad to say but I guess we'll never have the game we loved so much.
It's just maddening that we're still given false hope that things will get better but then the truth comes out and bang... we're back to where we were 5 years ago. 
I guess it's like beating a dead horse. Not much point anymore.
Cheers

Anyone I've ever talked to knows I want the best for the game and will help anywhere possible.

Do we since management changed? Did we not unban way more players than we banned?

As Juve already said, we have lives too. I didn't have much free time at all and the time I did have I'd rather spend with real life friends than behind my keyboard (if you do not agree with my choice here please make some friends).

I hereby officialy invite you, RedRaider117, to join our team as a Monitor.

You probably won't believe anything I say but I will write it anyways, we (TNF + GMs) know it's not your problem. And without the vets this game would've died years ago. But facts are SDE doesn't invest enough money in the game to fix big bugs. If they woud've we would't be having this conversation 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and today still. It hurts us moderaters as much as it does you (maybe even more) that the game is more broken than it ever was. 

Events help boost the pop temporarily. But having events 365 days a year makes it normal. I agree for now it helps keep the server alive a little bit until bigger problems are fixed (if ever).


Now my honest opinion as a player with some knowledge about the way things are handled; 

Vinnson also handles alot of matters regarding to NFMobile, which is the reason ZetaGM is handling support mostly.

SDE has never and, IMO as most agree will probably agree, will never invest more in this game than they do now. (this opinion is based on their history, not on inside information)

Only way NF will stay alive is if the biggest problems are fixed.

Management tries, SDE doesn't. I could say otherwise but we all know that's not true. I keep hoping one day they will think otherwise.

I would love to accept. But as i have seen in the many years of my activity i would fail to meet the few requirements to join. 

What do you as the Head MOD, the main spokes person we as the NF community look to for guidance, see as the biggest problems? How are they being fixed? Whats the timeline looking like for fixes in the broken code? Whats being done to increase the player base? Whats being done to keep the game some of us have invested far to much money into current and playable. 

This isnt my own personal attack against the MODs, or even GMs. This is my hope we actually get some kind of response. We sit here in the forums trying to get information and even take some weeks to get a response. Juve responded after multiple post and nearly 3 pages later on the topic. Again a response saying "we as mods (or GMs) dont know the information needed to respond." can go along way helping. 

I have many questions in this post, now i know some wont be answered due to reasons out of either of our control. My main focus, as a veteran player, is to get information. 
Steam event was great, then lasted bit it just kicked the bucket. Whats the next goal? How can i help?

If you need me as a mod, ill gladly leave my fleet and the HA's if you can ensure my efforts will be rewarded in a much more lively NF.
