(Note) This suggestion has nothing to do with shellshocklive2. I feel adding some moderators in shellshocklive1 to get rid of some of the hackers and room spammers would maybe make the game a bit more enjoyable and stable as far as i could see. And since Kyle no longer updates it, this would really help it out and maybe bring back some of it's old players again which would boost his revenue so i don't think he has much to lose if he did this and it would be a good test run to see if it's possible for shellshocklive 2 to have in game moderators as well.
O M G Yes. A million times, Yes! I like how it's a test run, and also fixes some of the problems.. I know I would still play it if it weren't full of hacks and room spams etc... So many bad things about it now. (P.S.) Bye if you never come back. <3
Thats one of the best ideas I've ever read on the forums. Seriously If kyle decides to do this, ssl1 would be a normal game again and after a successful testing phase, ssl2 would get rid of some publ. accs and other annoying problems.
If you ask me (Ik you will disagree), I would shut down SSL(1). Why? First of all kChamp is spending money on it for nothing (keeping servers up), yes, I cant say for nothing, but I doubt he gets any money from sponsors or players, since SSL2 is out. Second, the game (atm), cant be played due to lots of spammers and hackers, and even if that woould be cleaned (he woud loose more than he would gain or stayed at same).
I don't really think Kyle has anything to lose with shellshocklive1 since it's in a very bad shape right now. If hackers and spammers were eliminated from the equation it would be a very good thing for the game and boost his revenue a bit if it's old players came back to it.
kChamp has said in SSL1 forums (after he announced the SSL2 release) that he will no longer be active/updating/supporting the ShellShock Live 1. That would be extremely depressing for a SSL1 player like myself. What about resetting the game? Basically just terminate it for awhile and then re-launch it. Or, this might be a little discriminatory, but we could perhaps ban the IP addresses coming from a certain area that so many people play. <--- which is middle east. <--- which also is the place that 90% of players play. Kyle isn't even frequently updating SSL2, I highly doubt he will even shut it down, as you said.
Shutting down ssl1 would be the easiest way to get rid of hackers and spamers there and yes keeping up ssl1 costs money, but because the game is in that situation, he can try stuff on it and if its not working, he still can shut it down. (I dont have any argument on the money thing though)
Room Spammers. Widow, if those suckers are removed I would go back to playing it. The hackers are okay(Im trying to learn how to do the black tank thing) but those room spammers are so tough to get along around... I use the filter to remove all the games made by the spammer, but other ppl dont do it so nobody joins my games I don't know if the spam is made by Danial Power or not, but it desperately needs to be removed.
