These pictures of the servers few years ago and today really makes me sad =(

I agree with this topic ,few years ago we had 10 full servers any time of the day,today we get semi full 1 server on it prime time




Why the game 'died' over the years - few things I can think about :

• Hackers - the neglected cheating and hacking problem in FPS Games for years (also cs go,combat arms,call of duty, overwatch, apex legends etc,almost every FPS game flooded with hackers for many years,not only CF).cheats are hard to detect and really too easy to acquire and set up(every 4 year old kid who know how to google 'hacks for x game' can easily get em).It's also very easy for hackers to create new accounts in less than 2 minuets due to lack of security verifications in certain games when creating an account(such as email link/phone code)....that's why today's people prefer to play console /xbox/ps5 ,over a pc games.

• Loot boxes/win rate/pay to play -I think monetized loot boxes(black market crates in CF terms) killed many people desire to play a lot of games honestly.In a society where the 7 deadly sins are viewed as desirable character traits, anything is possible-pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, sloth, and loot boxes....I don't know what the game devs/workers expected when they thought they can make a "money maker" out of a video game?that if all they'll do is only add real life money boxes with zeroed win rate and "VIP's" & and do 0 about it game problems and gaming experience?that the game wouldn't die in less than a year!?games are meant for fun,there are so many new,hack free. with the latest graphics and absolutely for FREE games out there ..all what people want is a fair hack free ,competitive game,with no errors,no cash rubish.it is beyond beyond naive by CF to think they can make money from a game,to only add money stuff and provide zero human support,when there are so many good games out there that their runners do not think/not try to 'milk' every possible penny from menopausal people.people are not 'stupid' as the game tend to believe.and the pictures above/the remaining players base are kinda illustrating this point ...also in personal opinion , such a things as "black market" is foundmally a very stupid and bad idea,"gambling" is a very unhealthy obsession and should not be brought into such a places as video games which played amongst 13-15 year olds,it's literally like taking a kids to the casino.

• The region restriction-to split the main version (CF NA back then),few years ago,to 20 small versions (br/ru/ph/jp/eu/vt/taiwan/indonesia etc ),was a very bad idea back then.It would've been better if keep 1 main version that is 'alive' with 15 full servers,than make 20 versions that all of them have 2 semi full channels and that more than a half of those version already been closed until today during the years.Could've been good for the game survival in the long run

• The 'marketing' of the game-it's good CF have facebook page,but maybe if they aimed to get to more people,and advertise the game in places such as 'Steam' and 'epic games','gog'...maybe it could've get more players.

I'm sorry but if you have actually wasted 20k dollars on an online game mostly just to get some weapon skins, go seek some help. I don't care how much money you have, this is just sad.

Well, back in the day, pretty much we all fell in the same trap. Sometimes I wonder why on earth I spent real money for a hundred normal gatling gun and dual colt hellfire crates. This game fooled my young self to throw away money for thin air. Even to this day I feel scammed. Btw, I never won the dual colt. I quit buying ZP since 2017, because of the horrible win rate and of the game condition. You are indeed a fool for supporting a game, which is actually great, but its managers are some of the greediest fraudsters in the gaming industry. Game is like it died 4 years ago. It's just not worth it anymore.

Also, for the rest of the comments:
Don't fool yourself, game lost population because of hack waves, foreigners in specific region servers and pay2win/copypaste content, which is not compatible with western playerbase. Age of the game doesn't matter, example is World of Warcraft which is a 2004 game and still has 2-3 million active paying subscribers. Hack waves is number one issue, most of the times by foreigners, because the servers were not ideal for them, but also because of their ethics. Game balance stopped existing since VIP m4a1 release. Content made for Asians, would never be successful in West market. I don't need to type more.

they are scammers, just admit it lol, spun 150 crates =80 usd and got nothing

Why servers aren't full is because many players like me aren't able to log into the game. It's been 40 days since I am unable to even LOGIN the game let alone facing the thousands of random errors in the game. I am tired of their useless support centre that hasn't provided any fix even after admitting that the issue is from their side. This is what they do. They made it clear that the 1-day player is the same as an 11-year-old player.

You can't fight with that ill and sick mentality with logic. I denied that fact all these years but now I would also admit that this game is dead.
