Guys I have been thinking and this idea just came up all of a sudden and i find it absolutely amazning. A lot of people went turned off, inactive and just stopped playing the moment all of these negative news came up and as PB went away everybody just gave up on the server as if it shut down? Guys just think about this, when you are in a faction, let's say 3-5 people from that faction are online and rping, you feel like "THEY" are the server, you enjoy the rp. It didn't matter if the server had 100-80-10 players, you enjoyed rp with your friends and the whole world was them. When you join a company, you rp with two to four people. You don't need 100-120PB online to rp? You just rp with your friends who are on. That being said, i have had an idea, we can all rp knowing each other. Let's say, make it some kind of neighbors rp, coworkers, roommates, far related relatives or small family? When i hop on and see 8-15-20 players on. It's more than enough to rp with guys, it's just we never meet. Let's all set a street to rp on and rp with extreme realism. We can be neighbors who know everything about each others or we can just grt to know one another as we go on with the rp flow and let it come however it does. Even back then when the server had 100 or 200 or even 400 people. The maximum you met on a day would be 30. Thats it. So why would you get turned off seeing 10-20 players max? We all can still rp, maybe make a nee char? New storyline? New name? Man judt even keep your character with no name changes or anything but meet people, set rp, know mor roleplayers. Actually the server having low PB is nothing wrong o bad at all. If you look at it the other way you will notice that pb went down when hackers, dmers, trollers got banned. We literally now have a VIP roleplay server with people who are dedicated to rp and rp only. With low pb its more safe now to play as you can easily report and your issues will be handled sooner than anytime else as there is no one else but us, we are not a lot of people but we are still here, don't log in and just afk or like just grind and stay at one spot, no? Just approach others, strike rp ideas, now is the time for all of us to provide our unique rp and ideas to this community than any other time, this is the time for you to start rping, it will not be play to win anymore, there's nothing to win or lose. We are just a small community having fun with realism. Neighborhood rp, school rp, family rp, town rp, gang rp, business rp, crime crew rp, truckers rp, normal people with 9-5 jobs who meet together by the end of the day to talk their minds off and share each other's experiences throughout the day, spend a day at the beach peacefully, get to know more about each others by making bbq parties, house gatherings, all of these. There is one player as an example, Holly Schofield, she always rped NPCing a child with her, like someone can be that child, someone else get to knkw both of them, know their story. I saw some people rping homeless/broke. I saw others rp as taxi drivers/mechanics. I saw people bringing unique ideas to enjoy the game and put a storyline and lore to their characters. If we all gathered together and decided to set some specific rp with a background/story to each character, it will be more enjoyable than LSRP with 170 player on. We still got the server running, let's do something about it?

Fire 🔥

Proud that I was part of this since its day 1. Big shoutout to Zee, Hellfire and Flaxxer, thank you all 3 for taking me in from the very first day when you made this, when you created this from scratch, before we even became a faction. Some memories will never leave my head. A simple thank you isn't enough. Even though I have not been part of this faction for some months now, it feels sad to see it go away. I wish the best to all, oldschool and newschool Harlow, we were all Harlow after all. Farewell to the biggest faction I've been part of, every good thing has to come to an end some day. VON'S WORLD

such a great run, well done boys

Hello boys and girls, I'll be showing off my work here. voted #2 furnisher of the year 2025

I'm locking this thread for now. There has been a lot more said since I commented, due to Christmas festivities my response is coming a little later than I initially anticipated. Once I have replied I will re-open this once again. Thanks to everyone leaving their feedback. Check back soon.

they ban 1 or 3 people a day bro, what are you waiting from the community? to grow when people appeal for the ban at least they give them 5 months or 3 nowadays, thats why lsrp is diying hopefully yall unban roleplayers and keep cheaters banned.

If you are banned there must be reason for it. So yeah, you gotta understand that if State law says "NO ROBBING STORES" and you rob a store and you go to jail. It's on you buddy. It's not fault of a state that they had a rule/law.

Instead of expanding the target and keeping the players you have, you continue to ban them here across the forum. Speaking as a player who is about to be banned soon, just remove all the bans and give the few players you still have the little respect they deserve. I'm ashamed of this management every single day.

I'd like to chime in regarding the upset at Martin's activity, mostly inspired by @Clack Currently, Martin is abroad hopefully enjoying himself a lot more than I am. We're unlikely to have a response from him at the moment given the fact that he's on holiday and not expected to be available for the duration. Hopefully a little clarity and transparency on the Management structure could help: Martin promoted myself and bobster to Management months ago now, following a discussion where we agreed that the bottleneck to a lot of things was waiting on Management approval. Martin gave me the role of Head of Operations - and bobster was promoted to Head of Staff. I've done my best in the past few months to reduce these waiting times, and ensure that nothing much is sat around waiting for Management's green light. Head of Operations was Martin's role. He is now Head of Development and is generally not involved in the day-to-day running of the community anymore. When he held this role, and the community were upset with his activity (or perceived lack of), I could understand. Martin is still involved, and when changes are made - his input is invaluable but ultimately, the server's management is 10x more active than before in recent months, we haven't gone anywhere. All of this is 100% intentional as Martin's main focus can now be on what he enjoys, which is development. I've seen some of the work he's done for RAGE in particular, and I'm so excited for the community to get their hands on it. I'll happily lecture Martin for not logging into the forums, but the management/leadership and development team generally converse outside of LSRP platforms altogether. Nobody has "run away with the donations" if that was the case, the server would not be online because nobody else is paying for it. This was something I originally noticed the few bad actors who some of you have let work you into an absolute tizzy, start by saying. The fact that the server has not once gone unpaid should do more than enough to dispel that conversation. I've seen people complain about management's activity and lack of approachability, but praise my activity, care and attention in the same breath. What is it you're looking for exactly from Management, or feel that you/the server or community are lacking?

Thank you to everyone for the wealth of feedback and staying on topic.

I think not even AI could say it better.

Having been a member of this community since 2012, I have witnessed the server’s “death” multiple times—once before the closure and once when the RAGE server was shut down for rework. I played on both platforms and saw potential in each of them. When it comes to the RAGE server, I was among the last players who remained active. I grinded, roleplayed with factions, and yes, I robbed a lot of houses to steal guns. I come from an era where all I needed was /me and /do to create roleplay. I can absolutely create RP on my own and genuinely enjoy it. Overall, I enjoyed both platforms. However, when it comes to heavy roleplay, immersion, and creative storytelling, SAMP LSRP is undoubtedly unbeatable. I initially came back to SAMP for nostalgia, but I stayed for the community especially the returning veteran players who built truly great factions. SAMP has, and still has, a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it is often said that the core script is outdated and that developing new features risks breaking it. Still, we have many underrated features such as /spawn, holdable items, and more. SAMP has soul. SAMP has culture and over a decade of lore something RAGE cannot replicate. It is a new universe with unfamiliar aesthetics. As an IFT member, I tried to support both platforms, but the lack of developers and communication caused me to lose motivation. When it comes to SAMP, we at least want the top voted features that were presented on the UCP. As for RAGE, nobody except staff knows where it is heading. What about the economy? New rules? ROE? Price agreements for guns and drugs? Players want to play on LSRP SAMP not because of “shitty” computers, but because they are familiar with the platform. They have lore, friendships, and years of developed roleplay skills. It is culture. Many players with high end PCs returned to LSRP SAMP and spent months building factions and developing characters for a reason. I will not try to compare our community to another, but when it comes to management, LSRP currently cannot compete. That said, we do have many good staff members and dedicated admins such as @badhbh, @Rye, @Aloosh, and others who genuinely care about this community. I have seen their work and their dedication firsthand. I cannot say much about the rest of the staff, as most of them are new faces to me and have not made a noticeable impact. I agree with many of you here, especially @Kev, @Aloosh, and others who cared enough to share their input with heavy hearts and genuine passion. This community needs to hear the actual community. Listen to the everyday player. Listen carefully. When it comes to marketing, unfortunately, the only real way to market this server is to play on it. Encourage staff roleplay in-game, make management approachable to everyone ( @badhbh is very kind, by the way), create subreddits, and spread the word. I have seen several respectable YouTubers who actively test SAMP servers and invite their followers to play if they enjoy them. https://www.youtube.com/@InternetRob https://www.youtube.com/@TheJizzy

@n0de101 in terms of Mmartin's activity on LSRP, it has also became a public secret at this point of his whereabouts and what he is currently doing. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I was in IFT between April '25 - November '25 and we only got to speak with him somewhat in detail about a drug withdrawal system. We've had a lot of discussions about different topics however that was the only one he personally took part in. All of that was discussed in late May, early June. Whether he is active in the LSRP staff discord, I wouldn't be able to confirm that... However, his forum activity is public for the entire community to see. His last action on the forums is this: In his defense, he did log on the forums on the 14th of December 2025. 👍 So to rephrase Flaxxer's words, he hasn't been active on the forums for more than 6 months.

Well thank you for finally making your delusions public. You think the community will just forget about the consistent fuck ups spanning over a decade and follow behind you? I hope you at least enjoy it.

For anyone here saying SA/MP is too old and can not support "modern" functionalities has clearly not played on a well-maintained server. Y'all should see what kind of implementations are made on russian servers. Lightyears away from what this rusted out script currently offers on LSRP.

I wouldn't be putting in my free time if I didn't think it could succeed, obviously that's my opinion and others will have their own views which is perfectly valid. Martin is one of three in management, a lot of things which were solely one persons responsibility are now split. I know people are waiting for an "official" response from management and that is coming, it just takes time to go over things and discuss them. Simply not true but sure.

The entire narrative around how developers are sacrificing their free time is also relevant to your average faction leader who arguably spends a lot more hours on the server trying to manage his own faction and contribute positively to the community. That narrative is also relevant to any average roleplayer, legal or illegal, who has contributed with their roleplay to the community, with their activity both in game and on the forums. That narrative is also relevant to any adequate Tester who is willingly helping players in game with their questions and who is also doing solid forum work in terms of administrating. That narrative is also relevant to regular Administrators who have to deal with Player Reports (IG & on forums), general administrative work, etcetera. And that narrative is extremely relevant to one of the most overshadowed teams on LS-RP: The Illegal Faction Team. I can confidently say that I have spent an unhealthy amount of hours doing my job and trying to make this server better. That involved handling complex Faction Reports, actively participating in IFT threads, discord discussions and meetings, coming up with new and interesting concepts of how we can please all the current illegal factions. I can go on and on about how much work I have personally put in however it is more important to focus on the obstacles that I've unfortunately had to deal with when it comes to eventually forwarding any ideas to developers. While MMartin was still around, we were discussing something like a withdrawal system or at least drugs having a negative impact on your character. Evidently that did not happen, never implemented - forgotten. Several IFT meetings were all about discussing new implementations however once we all just collectively agreed that the developers aren't really interested in any of our ideas, naturally we all just gave up. It was pointless to even talk about it on the meetings, let alone cook up a thread and literally "beg" for the attention of the Development Team. As a former detective in LSSD, I also had a lot of suggestions in terms of the Detective Job as it is severely outdated. I forwarded a lot of them to the Development Team however we got nowhere with it. Mind you that it wasn't about anything oddly specific or new, my suggestions were mainly about tweaking current scripts to make them more modern. Why am I saying all of this? It's not just the Developers sacrificing their free time and doing volunteer work. It's the entire community doing that, from your regular roleplayer to your Lead Admin. We are all doing this in our free time.
