A lot of the time during the day, the server is dead as hell. When there are less than 6 people online, players have very little reason to join, because they can't earn experience or progress towards their guns and quests. I've often seen times when the server completely empties out when the sixth player leaves the server, because the other five don't feel like waiting for another sixth to join. I know that this is to prevent grinding and metagaming the server for drops, but I do suggest that we should implement some sort of reward system for when the server has between two and ~eight players (inclusive, going up to eight to give a "grace zone". Additionally, this system may make both servers equally active depending on player preferences. I know some players prefer a lower player count).
Note that all of these suggestions are based on playtime, and they can't be abused the same way that metagaming gun XP and whatnot can.
A few suggestions:
-Low-Count Gift Packages: For every hour that you spend on the server (in active TTT, not spectator) with ~eight or fewer active players, receive a gift package. Essentially the VIP system, but not always active. You could probably even strip the code of the VIP system and modify it slightly, depending on the implementation.
-Weapon XP/Player XP Awards based on playtime: For each minute that you play with a low player count, receive 1 XP as well as a 1/16th of a kill worth of XP on all enhanceable weapons that you currently have equipped, or a general equivalent for guns that require specific feats, such as body damage.
-ETC: Basically this idea can be applied to every other aspect of gameplay, including drops according to playtime on low player count.

There comes a time in everyone's life where they have to make a choice and this is my time.
I've had many good adventures here on FRG, many good friends made and some lost. I have acquired my fair share of good items because I guess I am RNGesus.
I would make a list of all the people I'm gonna miss and what not but everyone does that so not on my good Christian departure. I may pop on in a bit to roll away my coins and give away my godlikes but who knows maybe I'll pull a feks or an A2 and just come back for a while. I'm keeping all my shit because I don't have anything good anyways
peace out yall it's been real
Edit: Not actually going away for ever just distancing myself from frg for like a month or so
Edit #2: Ask Zott why I'm leaving he lnows

Two times now I've brought the Candy Cane deagle into the asylum and it doesn't have a reload animation and it auto reloads making it essentially have no max clip size. Also if you spam reload and shoot it shoots as fast as a primary.

| FRG Economy |

Alright, so right now, the economy is absolute trash. It has been for a few months now and it is constantly getting worse. Coins are barely worth anything now. I've seen even low levels like around level 5 with 30k.
It's just becoming stale. You only ever see the same few godlikes drop now, which is one of the main reasons why I supported something like the Flashback crate. The Flashback crate would keep the godlike drops interesting and would also keep the amount of coins circulating down. Honestly, the Flashback crate had tremendous support, other than a few people who wanted to stay special with their godlikes that they own, I'm surprised it hasn't been added. Unless there's something I'm missing, I see no good reason not to add that or at least something similar to it. Even with the occasional coinsinks, people still maintain their money.
A few problems:
1: With trading on FRG, you're only able to trade up so far before you hit basically a dead end, yet there's so many more things to get, but due to how the economy is and how people don't want to sell any non-droppable guns it becomes impossible and you just lose all will to try to trade up. It kills trade morality and a thriving economy.
2: Going to back to what I mentioned earlier, there's basically only the same few godlikes that drop now; Railguns, Tartarus', and Thrakos'. It's gotten to the point that when 90% of people drop one of them, they aren't even excited anymore. I personally get more excited when I drop a good primordial than I do the normal godlikes. In the last 15 pages of the shoutbox, there have been 8 Railguns, 6 Thrakos', 4 Tartarus', 1 Eleos, 1 Rune of Ultimate Reconstruction, and 1 Mask of Bazzalth.
Ideas:
1: Remove Railguns, Tartarus', and Thrakos' for the time being. They're about the only godlikes that ever drop now. Replace them with older godlikes progressively, obviously being more rare than those godlikes. It would be nice to see some diversity in the godlike drops.
2: Implement something along the lines of the Flashback crate, it would be more interesting to actually see some diversity in the godlike drops and it could help keep the coin amounts down. There's even people who own the older godlikes who support the guns coming back. I know there's a few people with those older godlikes who want to stay unique, but there's so many people who want one and like mentioned above, NOBODY wants to trade them.
But yeah, the economy is just really bad right now and it's only getting worse. Something should be done about these things. There's honestly probably even more problems than I've listed that I can't think of right now.
If something were done about this, like I said, add some old godlikes back in one way or another, I feel like it would bring back a lot of old players, with a new spark of interest in the server now that they are able to get those guns.

Is there any reason that the speed of the spinner in Spin 2 Win isn't currently adjustable? If not I think it would be nice if you could make it spin faster.
