looks to me that 90% of the old players are on strike already

No

dont leave me now  lalala

I'm still playing.   As long as I know that someone is working (or thinking about working) on something, then I'm happy.

It's a difficult problem and it's going to take some time.

You can't really just remove the moral system.  Because then any attacker can quickly take down any new players.  An hc round is good, because your telling new players up front that your entering a hard core system.  But for regular galaxies you've got to have some protection for new players.

It's currently too much protection.

A strike won't work.  You strike when you have power.  The players have some power, but not enough to strike.  Because he (I've been told his name is Stephen, but I don't believe that, but who ever owns the site) could simply shut it down.  No loss of income.

You can't strike against people who are volunteering their time and talents.  If this was a pay site, then a strike might be an option.

I thought about threatening to leave, or threatening some kind of player revolt.  But I didn't want to make this about threatening or about power.

Even if you won the strike, you would piss people off, like the development team (which might also be fictional,  People refer to the developers and to stephen, but I've seen no real proof, not even a photo) or the mods who are volenteering their time.

So there's no winning on a strike.

IC started dying when World of Warcraft was released and it never recovered lol

Warchild is looking into setting up a crowd fund for a rebuild. *points to ideas thread*

Agreed Reindeer, as I've noted on multiple occasions that we're actively tweaking the system to try and find a balance.  I'd love to have a community lead discussion about tweaks to make to set us up where we want to be, unfortunately the majority of the comments about the morale system are along the lines of "this sucks", which is less than helpful.

Wtf? Happy Jedi? omg..
