I currently feel like the server population is thinning. Completely due to the fact that many main players keep MRDM'ing, causing their friends to leave aswell. At peak hours, the server has ~116 players. A lot, but not max pop, like normal.
Another new addition to the banlist is jimb0. One of the Finnish players, I think by the name Niko Ranta-Aho.
It's not the devs, the mods or GMod itself, that's supposedly killing Perp. It is the people who say Perp is dying. It is the people who MRDM. They get banned, causing others to leave. Some of them even choose to MRDM aswell. That continues the cycle.
I do not agree with this method.

ye with jimb0 tho nothing was lost really so 
I have thought about mrdming at times im not going to lie, BUT Thats when i been really frustrated with perp. however it seems they are listening to feedback, i mean judging from the thread fredy put out, a little while back about drug update which hey is a win overall imo

Me too, who hasn't. For me, it was just seeing a very good opportunity. Like when PD lobby is completely full of screaming fuckers for no reason. Just mow them down, yk?
But not because of the game itself. When I get mad about the game, I take it out on my wife and kids.
The wife and kids play in the big 26 unexpected hahaha
Na all joking aside, I get heated very easy so for me sometimes its like well you know it something i would regret afterwards most likey as i would have multiple people calling me a complete mong and @Scoot coming to my house IRL just to shout at me for being a complete retard, however I do get what some people are saying tho, for starters when updates that where said to happen don't happen after a time you start to be like well what the fuck are you doing you know. (Coming from recent drama in the destiny community and bungie which fits here i feel like) I like what fredy did getting us involved and making a thread just saying this is what we are working on, What would you like more.
Another thing ofc is alot of people mass RDM'ing, again i see why people are vocal about things not saying its ok, but if theres a bunch of older players leaving theres a reason u know thats what it sounds like to me anyway
The people mass RDMing are retarded yes, but that doesn't really kill the server. There's nothing new happening on the server. Unless you're new to PERP, the joy of PERP is on repeat and the same thing for most people. The updates coming into the server are small to almost unnoticeable and the development team doesn't seem to even care about that because they think the player count they receive is satisfactory. I recently went a whole loop around the map and 50% of the server when there were around 110 people were AFK at places like spawn, bazaar, PD and other locations around the city. The others are either on duty, minging or just AFK growing.
Maybe the development team needs to get a grip and instead of changing minor mechanics to make the game smoother they should focus on the activity side of the server and implement new stuff for the players to do. Fixing the drug economy won't fix those kind of issues on the server at all, as the latest update that made the server more appealing to older and newer players was this update https://perpheads.com/threads/update-log-09-02-2026-paralake-v6-2-more.74265/.
Which just made Premium more expensive for players to buy with in-game cash and for Fredy to gain more yearly income. Yes the property being added was also there, but I doubt that really changed much about the issue of there being nothing on the server to do besides growing drugs AFK or just being on duty.
There's for example the fishing mechanic on the server which can be changed a lot and lots of new jobs that could be implemented that I doubt would take a long time for someone who actually knows how to develop. Every new player I have introduced to this server almost always starts with the thought of the server being boring as shit, as there's almost no one to interact with because they're all AFK or just focused on drugs/raiding/cop. The server earns a lot of money yearly to either hire someone who is willing to actually make something for the server, or for the server developers that I think are already getting paid a little to get a grip and just do something bigger for once besides v6 that can attract all kind of players for a stay thats gonna last longer than a week before being bored out again.
Also another Issue I constantly notice is with the community managers. I don't think that they even enjoy the server or have anything to do, the only times I have interacted with them ingame is at bazaar and them larping/talking to people and !bringing their friends to bazaar just to sit there afk all quiet in their ts channel or whatever and do absolulety nothing there. Instead of you doing just that all the time and calling it a day maybe you they should be open for changes or start interacting with peoples feedback on stuff on forums/ingame. I have scrolled through the forums and I don't see them engaging with the community in anyway besides the monthly community spotlight or what ever is called which almost no one cares about that much anymore. Even tho I didn't like Efan or Ethan what ever he chooses to be called I kind of felt like there we're more changes under his time for the better than there have been with these new developers/community managers.
I have played in recent time quite a lot on duty, crim and growing drugs. The server used to be way way worse I agree, but in recent times even tho the server is full at times It still feels extreamly boring and the lack of content is highly noticeable when its being played on such a huge map with 50% of the server being inactive in a way where you can interact with them.
