Uhm i tried creating many new features, new systems, never seen features (maybe too much lol), but yeah same happened, even after advertising much, hadded my heart and soul to my project, but perhaps IL is just dead. Even the "big" servers use fake players (some did not acussing all lol), its just an old beloved game.. People state that you need new features, others say you need less features lol. We have so many tools nowadays to create much (client side), but heck the player base is down.
I added new maps, new mobs, new systems and features (really unseen), but perhaps they were too hard to understand (im not joking like other projects with "new" features && 100% OFF files lol.) or perhaps im plain dead in advertising lol.
