RAGE or SAMP?  

63 members have voted

  1. 1. Which LSRP server would you prefer to play on?



Recommended Posts

I don’t see why they’re still bothering with GTA 5. LSRP had its chance, but it’s clear it will never surpass GTA W at this point. The focus should be on keeping LSRP strong on SAMP and actually delivering the improvements the community has been asking for. If not, SOLS will end up taking everyone who’s grown tired of waiting. Even if SOLS is limited to SP factions only, people will compromise just to avoid the endless delays here.

I've tried GTA 5 and what the roleplay scene has to offer. Yeah, it's a fresh modern take on it but it doesn't hit home like SAMP does. LSRP lost its shot at running a GTA 5 server long time ago. The main focus should just be on SAMP as a whole. Part ways with the GTA 5 server and move everybody back onto SAMP. Start pumping out smaller updates weekly, whether its faction REQ mappings, custom skins or something simple as a minor bug fix. 

 

LSRP will never be able to compete with GTA World. It is what it is.

Personally I think Mmartin should already start developing the GTA 6 RP server. Given his track record and the numerous delays, if he starts now he might be able to deliver on time. If not, he will be too late and Nervous will take control of the GTA 6 RP market as well. /s

 

I don't think there are enough players that would play on LSRP:V, given the current player base on samp.

 

I wouldn't mind playing on GTA 5 given it's a much nicer and smoother experience, but why play on a server that might get 50 players at peak instead of the behemoth that is GTA:World? What incentives are there for players and ex-lsrpers currently being active on world. How can a healthy PB be reached? 

 

I think SA-MP shows the most promise right now to at least stay alive with a decent player base.

Given the fractured relationship b/w the management and the community, I don't see how the RAGE server will be a success. Treating the same community like shit and then expecting the same community to follow you to RAGE doesn't make sense. Why would anyone trust the same people in charge to suddenly turn good when a new server launches?

 

The devs and management should focus on mending relationships with the community, dishing out a few high priority updates and finding a way to reach out to old players, telling them the SAMP server is back. I bet most don't even know LSRP had relaunched.

 

The SAMP server is not hopeless as some are making it out to be. Even giving the semblance of activity should motivate players enough to stick around. At the moment it seems that apart from a handful of staff members, nobody else is putting in an effort to keep the server active. All of this compounds to giving a sense of stagnation and decline, which can easily be remedied. Why would the community stick around knowing the management's focus is not entirely on SAMP? Adopting a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach is necessary to keep the server healthy at this moment. Even in the Mapping Team I wish we did more proactive work rather than responding to requests if/when they come. Reaching out to players for mapping, rather then being expected to reached out to is what will keep the server healthy in this moment. Even adding little environment mappings occasionally or auctioning pre-furnished interiors would go a long way.

 

A faction thread will get archived the minute it reaches 7 days of inactivity, but property requests, ban appeals, suggestions, classifieds etc. will sit there for months before they are processed. This just shows the core issue with LSRP at the moment and why moving to RAGE won't fix anything. A lot of people left the SAMP server because of the drop in the standard of roleplay and poor management, rather than shitty graphics, which is the only thing GTA V has over GTA SA, so I don't see how moving to RAGE fixes the core issue. Unless the issues at SAMP are fixed, I doubt anybody would be willing to move to RAGE.

samp'll be dead in a few months regardless, imo

How is this even constructive? This is why LSRP has a issue with staff members. You're in a position where you can voice your opinion and try to push for things where you're say might hold a little more weight than the rest of us. I don't know whether your active or not but again, why even voice your opinion if you've given up. Because, that's what it seems like to me.

Skip V and head right to VI as soon as a third party multiplayer client drops. 


That's not a vital solution as VI will drop the game for the PC after a year and until a Third Party is initialized and made public it will take one more year or two. SO you are looking at 3+ years.

I don't see how LS-RP:V can succeed. Any hint of faith the community had in a LS-RP:V server was shattered after the N delays and broken promises as well as absolute shite communication between management and community, as always. The launch was a disaster and you really only get one launch, there are no do overs.

 

There's just no place for LS:RP on that scene, everybody and his dog on GTA:W. So what's the point? Why keep the community and staff splintered? Pick a course and stick to it.

Couldn't have been said any better.

Management has to pick one or the other honestly, because trying to manage both servers will be a absolute cluster fuck. From my point of view the staff currently are spread too thin already and a lot of things get swept under the rug in terms of "handling time" and forum work. 

 

Ditch the entire idea of GTA V and bring LSRP to the new golden era that the current community wants to see. 

 

I want to applaud any staff member who engages in a topic like this because it shows you want to see LSRP have a future, KUDOS TO YOU!

GTA V is a fruitless endeavour at this point. It’s too late to try and compete in that space. The focus should be on keeping SAMP alive, especially with OpenMP providing a pathway for further development. Prioritise what has always worked and build on it, rather than wasting resources on a platform that no longer aligns with the community’s needs.
