How can we revive?

[Imperial Watch]

Listen here guys. Maybe... I know this might sounds crazy, but, just MAYBE, many of the veteran players are getting bored after years of playing and not enough new folks show up because Gmod is an old game and things like, idk, Arma 3 and GTA V RP seem more attractive?
PERP has been out for almost a decade with many things staying the same as it was released (I know because I'm a PERP oldfag, played since 2009), which is essentially it just being cops vs robbers RP

Hit the nail straight on the head here mate. Anyone who thinks that a game such as this can be revived when it runs on such an outdated platform is absolutely mental.

Dont know if anyones realized, but "SeriousRP" Tends to turn alot of people off from clicking a server. Not this servers fault, But the many cancer HL2RP servers that perma ban you for "Breaking lore"

From what ive seen in the forums, the reason that people are not hopping on to play is simply the fact that we have done everything.
For players like me , @Glacial_Subzero , @Mooney, @Sossa , @Fusions (vets) and many more we got what we wanted ( i imagine).
We got the car we wanted the guns the ammo the marksmanships, there is simply no point to get on and start growing.
Thats how i see it , correct me if im wrong.

Perhaps letting people roleplay as actual gang members - having gang wars which are allowed - not having to justify every single kill you do to a massive extent, if someone kills your friend or insults you, fucking gun them down, let us have fun, not to be restricted by the rules that have got more and more strict because people whine too much

na I just didn't want to spend a month of my life growing for a virtual car that goes so fast that it shouldn't even be road legal

We need more roleplay enhancements, more things to do, the rules right now restrict our "imagination"

you're implying the main population of perp even tried to roleplay in the first place bub, this is a fatal misassumption

 

[Imperial Watch]

insults you, fucking gun them down

Killing people for mouthing off sets a dangerous precedent. If the respawn timer was ~60 seconds and not 5 minutes+NLR timer, then perhaps I could sympathize to some extent.
Sure it might be fun to kill Newbie Johnny for saying your mom takes black dick every night, but for Johnny to wait 10 minutes (assuming he has some business in the area he was killed) to return, such behavior, imo, would not benefit the server as a whole.

I think from another perspective that the staff team should change in some ways. Back when Moron or Jordan were senior and shizzle - the staff team imo were more objective and lenient. I just think to an extend that back then the relationship and transparency between the players were better than it is now. In addition, the level of professionalism was also fairly high, however, not as high as it is today (From what i can see). I think the level of seriousness has kinda ruined it for most of the players - and as i remember it there is A LOT of subjectivity from the staff when it comes to players they don't like or players who shares different opinions. I saw a lot of grudges before leaving the server and hatred towards specific players - as in targetting.

In conclusion, I believe that a lot of players don't have the same respect for the staff as they used to have. (From what I can see atleast, I may be totally wrong)

Undeniably gary's mod is falling quite far behind - but i think it is possible to keep the player count high, or atleast make it so there's 60 players online like back in the days.

then you are a loser! owo

tbh i dont think that anything could revive perp, more events could add a little or at least make new events.
the server will die and whoever says hes happy about it cuz hes not sitting all day long growing virtual drugs and chilling to get his dream car its his problem that he got addicted to it, the server didnt force you to play all day long. literally couldve played one hour a day but na you decided to nolife the fuck out of the server.
stop crying jeez

GO EASIER ON THE RULES

Alright, let me explain this from my POV. I know that some might disagree, and some not.

My own opinion is yeah, I think that the staff members should go a little bit "easier" on the rules than we do now. But there is a factor to why we are. Let me explain.

People saying "perp is so toxic" and that everyone is so salty, which is true in some cases. I've noticed that people are reporting each other for the smallest things. And when you make a report, of course we have to deal with it correctly, which is to go by the rules.

When I bring people to a roof and explain the situation, they sometimes get surprised because of why I've brought him.

What im trying to say is that there is cycle going around. People reporting each other for the smallest things -> they start to argue and disrespect each other -> They get mad and makes a report as soon as he can spot the smallest problem.


The reports we get now can look like this, "this idiot cunt retard motherfucker stupid horse shit autistic guy told me to fuck off" and we all see how the OOC chat sometimes get spammed with toxic stuff, and that triggers other people to complain and such.


So I think that people should start to realize that this is a game, you don't have to take it so fkn serious. You died this time in the raid, accept it...

I'm not saying that it's okay to break the rules, But if you report someone for the smallest, start calling someone an autistic cunt, that triggers others to do it as well.

I miss the admin sits I had before when people were calm and forgiving.

Bring back SWAT, Remove whitelist PD, make more jobs (Stephen's idea since 3 years ago), create new map than Paralake (maybe)... more solutions cba to write

 

[Fintuss]

I just want to see everyones HONEST opinions, no bullshit, how can we bring players back to PERP at this point, how can we bring the roleplay back?

Honestly, I think the rules need to be majorly relaxed as on this server you're nearly more restricted than you are irl RN. We need to be able to have gang wars and shit again, we're not allowed to do any fun stuff anymore and it's drawing people away.. what's everyone else's opinions rn?

No bullshit or stupid replies, serious question

make perp not boring again and org wars are just cringe now lul

unwhitelist normal officer and TFU should not be such a grind to get to

Then surely instead of making a massive commotion about being bought to a roof then leading it to a petty argument, close the report?
And then having people saying idiotic stuff in the OOC, simply tell them to stop, if they dont, kick them from the server.

Switch to a new game, gmod's shit and outdated
