The Revival of Bootleggers Penfolds
So Bootleggers has been through some tough times. The past few weeks has seen an influx of players become more active after quite a downfall. There has been 591 player's online in the past 24 hours. During issue 71 of the Buzz we only had 501 players online during that 24 hours. Recently, the 40,000th account in this round was created and that is great feat in its self.There are quite a few issues that have been noticed in the community that seem to be the main reason people stopped playing.

Random shootings were quite the nuisance this year, Mostly what happened was when players reached a certain rank they were shot as they were deemed a threat. You must give credit to the shooters for their organization and hard work, the majority of players found it to be getting tedious, But gladly for some players this has ceased for the time being. This has given players the freedom to Rank and play the game the way they want to.

There have been quite a number of crews springing up recently.
It has seemed vacant with only 1 crew on the statistics page, It is quite a pleasant and refreshing sight. This encourages players to get together and start new chapters in their journey as a bootlegger. I'm sure it goes without saying we all wish them well. Fun times are definitely ahead on this front.

Lack of visible updates have been noticed by the community. Most are grateful of the hard work put into the crimes update we saw at the end of last year. There are some very strong feelings that the game is going no where, With the lack of updates being announced or put into the game. A lot of players are trying to seek a new challenge but struggling to find one, The missions have been the same for many years and once finished there is not much to archive. This has been a major factor in most games success and there is a feeling of annoyance that this game is not repaying the players. Most feel we deserve these updates to happen for our own dedication to the game.

There seems to be no way to contact the Administrator of the game and and it's quite upsetting. There should be a bond between the players and staff, But there is just a canyon between the players and the administration department and its frustrating and sad to see. There are people here to help and they are currently doing a terrific job.

We all want what is best for the game and most of us want to help but feel we don't get through to the right channels when we come up with clever ideas. They all just seem to be ignored are we crying of death ears? Hopefully the way the game is evolving again, We may see some fresh updates with new features and be able to sit back and watch the game blossom again. Thank you for reading.
