New player: Great potential, but frustrating game

As alternative for this, we could also simply shut down the server and stop the work. It would be almost the same as if we never started.

I said 20 bucks a month, not an hour, which is 5 dollars more a month then most very popular mmorpgs. I think it's pretty generous. But I'd do it along with several other people.
Go ahead and shut down the server. You wasted hundreds of hours of programming and I wasted 10 hours of gameplay. I'll happily move to another game. I just like the original fallouts and having it being online is just a bonus.
All I ask is that you listen to your community. So many new people are complaining about things that I think can easily be fixed w/o even touching the hardcore aspect of the game. Then, I can guarantee that more people will play and keep playing and will want to donate. It won't take much to get enough people who will donate. Even just 5 people will get you 100 dollars a month. Think of how much money WoW is making with 10 million+ subscribers at 15 a month. I set up a counter strike server and tweaked it to the way people wanted it and they donated. I made 300+ dollars a month from just a small group of players. This game is good, but it could be awesome.
Amrok:
It seems you completely missed the point, strelok.
Lexx:
You know. The game is a hobby project. We do this because we like what we do and not to earn money. The donations are just for the server, that's all. If we wanted to make money for us, trust me, we would change a lot.

Both which are extremely boring and time consuming. We need more newbie quests (or just many more quests in general). It seems like everyone is put on the same racetrack going around in circles. You can't go off that "mainstream" path that is so prominent in this game. Ah well, the game needs much more content and if there's not enough developers for it, then maybe they should have never started the project. Get more devs or work more hours. I'd be happy to donate 20 bucks a month for this if it gets better. But it needs much work.

In fact, you do not have to even touch a shovel to start. You can do some simple quests (yes, there are some that will take you past lvl 2 and you can do them alone - with a bit of luck, of course). Also, you should forget about playing solo this game - or do it and face the consequences. This game is about team play, not playing solo. And last thing: saying "you should make the server better/with more content/sth or give up and stop working" is dumb.
strelok:
Fair enough. I'm done posting and trying to help out. Hopefully the annoyances of continued complaints from new people will eventually get to you to change a few things so that the game can grow and be available to the hardcore and casual player. If you dont want to make money, then dont. People dont have to donate if they dont want to.
Peace
