MAY I INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT?!!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!??!??!?!??!?!?!Now that I've got your attention:
Lemme spit some knowledge in ya direction, homie.
+1 for Ebonics.
Anyway, best way to get your own ZL server up and running, is to sow dessention amongst the fuckers currently in ANOTHER ZL server.
It's what AAA did... And it's what TCG did.
You want developers?
Fucking Fan-Tastic.
There's plenty of devs that play on the ZL servers, and the IL servers that are pissed off at the current situation in TCG... Get on their servers, and play for a while.
Talk to people, and get others to say: "That's some bullshit, I can't believe this crap, they're so one sided, this double standards rediculous, etc."
(HOOAH! Long sentences!)
You get the basic concept.
Best way to start YOUR OWN shit?
Take away what gives the opponent their power.
Which is their player base.
Call them out on their bullshit in front of other players, and then sneak in that you've got your own shit in the works.
Eventually, when enough dissention has been sewn, prop up your own server.
People'll start to say: "I've had enough of ZL.... What's this shit about? Hey, it's got the name of that guy who knows about all the issues in TCG / (random group), let me check it out."
Word hits a couple friends.
Then a couple more.
BOOM!
You've got your own community.
Yes....
I'm fucking smart.
Thanks.
BTW...
I better get an admin slot in this new group of yours.
I'm AMAZINGLY good at subterfuge.
