+1 for the idea to move ads to the phone.

Open your eyes. I'll do an ELI5 to make sure you get my idea on a basic level and to keep it short, because this isn't the topic of this thread. RP opportunities: Health: food places, kiosks/shops, medications Thirst: food/drink places, bars, shops Food: food/drink places, bars, shops Stress: workouts/drugs .. etc Since there are no disadvantages for not taking care of "yourself" right now, it doesn't "force" people to do certain activities. By applying what I said, you're forced to take certain steps to better your character, which in return forces you into more RP + gives all these businesses and people in them more RP.

Similar idea can be attached to all kinds of consumables and such. I love the idea. I wish it was tied to a feature this RP server doesn't have (and knowing how the community is, probably never will) - actual "status bars" for health/thirst/food/physic.activity(stress), which would force people into RPing all sorts of things that relate to "upping these bars" and that can very well be connected to your idea. Too complex for 99% of the playerbase though. 😞

Nice idea!

Whoever is responsible for this forum design (or the approval of it) either has never read a word about web design OR they are so new to this, they draw stickmen in Paint. How was it approved? Who in their right mind creates a web design that doesn't only look bad on a PC, but also on mobile. Not a single person who has more than a peanut brain and knows at least a tiny bit of web design and UI/UX would set Page Counters the way they are right now. This isn't even stupid, it's just funny. It isn't April yet though, so change it back to how it was.

^ this sums up the state of the server perfectly. You can tell by the answer saying literally nothing that this server has a lot to improve on. Saying "There's lots of good" means quite literally nothing. Listing a number of groups or areas where people "are" is wrong, because they aren't there. If you count all the places across the whole existence of this server, sure, but that's clearly unrealistic. This server has all the basics: basic commands, basic UI, basic scripts (Some more advanced and very good, most quite average or below average). It's a great place to RP if you have a group of friends to do something together with and create RP scenarios. What a solo player usually sees is just a dead city, maybe a car or two driving by, a few luxury cars at the bar/club and that's about it. People gather in closed rooms/areas like clubs etc and there isn't much action outside. Nowadays every guy seems to own a business, there are no logical limits behind those to make the RPing more immersive. The majority drives around with expensive cars while working a job where you realistically can't even afford more than a 30 year old broken ass vehicle. A lot of it is difficult to fix since it's up to the players to do better, but there's a ton this server could do better. There are many other RP servers out there to learn from, too, but it sucks you get thrown out the door if you say anything about other servers. Can't improve nor learn that way, but it is what it is.

I like this suggestion. Kind of silly to keep "spamming" the ad in hopes of, like OP said, being able to publish it. It's a competition that nobody needs.

soonTM.

Considering the link you mention here, I am from the same country & Mitch's provided link works for me.

Great suggestion indeed!

RageMP is a total desync fest, I imagine this would cause a lot of confusion when the state of a window doesn't sync properly. But otherwise it's a great idea.

@Nervous This doesn't seem to be too complicated of an issue to fix (Apologize if I really am wrong). Any plans regards to this specific annoyance?

Nice to see admins "updating" us on a very important and widely asked for change in the trucking system. ?

The way you have worded this to me sounds more like a thread for people either inside or interested in the PD, maybe I'm just being stupid. I'm not sure if this is exactly the type of feedback you're looking for, but I'll say it regardless. I came back to playing on this server for the first time in a year a few days ago, but there's always been something in regards to police which seems lacking. It might be because I haven't been back for too long or it might be because that's just how it is, but police need to interact more with the players and create more RP situations and approach people more often instead of sitting by Mirror Park waiting for something to happen. It's a two-way street, obviously - we as civilians can do a lot, but so can the PD. Where I live (And most likely everywhere else) police sometimes have a planned day (or week, depends on what's going on in the country) where there is a bigger number of units out and they form a line or just sit in more places than usual, to breathalyze people. You could do it, too. Have more "PD must do this and this at least XYZ times per week/month etc" events. These could be breath tests for alcohol or drugs, checking on businesses to make sure they are all working well without issues and there's nothing illegal going on, checking on licenses of individuals and businesses (even if they seem to be driving RPly and all's fine). There are a million things PD could do, but the ones I mentioned are just from the top of my head. Do it for the sake of RP. You might not find any issues with anyone for weeks, but the fact that police are out there and "keeping an eye on us" and RPing makes it more fun imo. Try to also spread out - drive through cities, but also countrysides. Make it look like PD is actually active and doesn't just sit by hotspots or in the empty Mirror Park for hours. Just my 2 cents

Just recently had a 2-hour phone call with a friend of mine - besides other things we talked a lot about the future of this server. We discussed the current state of it, the recent changes that have been happening and what we, as players (and my friend being an experienced RP-er), see the server is lacking or where/how it could be improved. First and foremost, I think it would be great to see a Roadmap 2018 for this server. We as players should be able to see and be aware of the directions the higher-ups are trying to go, the features they're planning to implement and the way they want to improve every aspect of this server. The roadmap should include a rough idea or an ETA of things planned for this server - from maybe a marketing POV to actual new features, scripts, improvements of current features and so on. Without a plan, there is no improvement and people will move onto new and essentially better things. What's to come in about a month? 3 months? Where are we in 6 months to a year if everything went as planned? There are so many things this server needs to improve on, I'm sure we all agree. It doesn't mean GTA:W is bad or anything like that (Just pointing it out since people on the internet like to purposely misunderstand what's being said). Once we have a bunch of scripts, jobs and different ways to RP (Whether it be purely player-to-player RP or scripts or situations/features/aspects which include both) and we have found a way to live our lives IC in a way that it doesn't feel dead, I'm happy. Bring people closer together; encourage P2P RP, but don't kill scripts which not only improve the general gameplay, but also improve P2P RP and heck, some just like to do scripts; bring new jobs; balance the economy to encourage making an effort if people want to survive and disencourage just "sitting around", because people get free money without doing anything; introduce taxes on buildings (home and work related) and cars and other things etc. There's a lot to do.

Definitely not useless. Just something you don't need, but others might and it isn't a huge thing to implement nor does it take away any kind of server perfomance.

I've been thinking about it too. Just make it very simple to get the list of players.

Having some NPC interaction is definitely not as bad as somebody in this thread made it out to be. Sure thinking it from the RP interaction side with real people, NPC aren't that great, but they can be useful and fun. The purpose of NPC is to support RPing, not to take away "real interactions". Such as sellings drugs. It can be limited to a certain amount of NPC you can sell drugs to in X amount of time or, even better in my opinion, you have a limited amount of profit you can make selling drugs to NPC as opposed to RPing it with people where the limit would be way-way higher (if a limit at all) as far as the amounts and money goes.

I find that super annoying and confusing, too. Just make it simple. Give the "warning message" maybe once after X amount of times somebody has (tried to) message an admin. There is no need to remind that every single time I talk to somebody, especially during the same gaming session or on the same actual day.
