Hello everyone,
I used to play on this server a long time ago, and I just saw that the server came back, which kind of makes me happy because it doesn't have these annoying gravity and speed boosters for humans like many other new ZE servers have.
However, I would like to suggest a few cool ideas (and some of them are old) that might make the server stand out compared to other, newer ones.
So a few dead servers in the past, together with some that are still alive, used to have a the so-called ZE-records system. This is an idea that was inspired by kreedz and deathrun servers with timers, where each map would have a top10/15/100 (whatever you like) placements for who finished the map the fastest.
The reason this idea worked so well with these servers is that for the majority of the time, you have to run in zombie escape servers/maps. A lot of times this brings good movement players. These fast players start to make races between each other and sometimes it becomes a bit too easy and boring for them to escape every round first and gain easy EXP.
To make it more interesting for the fast and good players you can add these timer records per map so it is not as boring. This would make the server stand out to other ones.
What's more, current servers suffer a lot from campers/blockers. With a timer system it will motivate people to RUN more instead of camping.
Obviously there should be always a balance between running and defending. Those who call the helicopter early should be punished and those who camp too much should be also punished!
However, I don't think this is an issue because the human team usually consists of two types of players: Those who need to be fast to call the helicopter on time and those who are slower but like to defend. If neither of these groups exist, they will easily fail to the zombies. This is why we always need some people who need to go fast to the heli and some who need to defend WITHOUT abusing either side.
However, the defenders are usually rewarded with exp and level up system, so it could be also a good idea to add monthly rewards/prizes for top3 or top5 placements on a map.
Finally I'd link some outdated plugins which can be completely rewritten but it's just an example that some servers are indeed using timers and it was a lot of fun back in the day!
And also an example of a good player who decided to make a video for his run/top1 time on an already DEAD server using the records system.
Overall I think this will make every round interesting for the fast players/runners while keeping the normal gameplay and encouraging less camping/abusers of zombies. It would also make the server very unique and interesting compared to the competition because at the moment I know of only 1 other server with records (there used to be 4-5 active servers with records a few years ago)
I hope you consider adding this suggestion!
EDIT: I saw there is a double jump in the server! If you decide to add this, double jump players should NOT be counted in the top15! It is not fair because they have a crazy advantage with the double jump. To make it fair for VIPs you can add an option for them to turn ON or OFF double jump!
