Waiting for LS-RP:V most likely. SAMP just isn't it anymore.

people get bored, people get banned, people get busy, people go on holidays. 

 

LSRP ain't what it used to be, people moved on with their lives, went to other servers etc. it is what it is

Life goes on bro

Sitting on the forums ain't the solution either, brother.

 

Talks about SAMP/LSRP being dead are dating from as far back as almost 10 years and the things are still going. Creating such atmosphere with constantly talking about how it's the end of it is just not helping at all. It has seen better days, but let's stop looking back at it through nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses and enjoy it like any other game if we want. This is not a life, it's just a game. Treating it like a game will help everyone in the long run. Play it when you want, take a break when you get bored.

People come, people go. Activity is consistent and we play with the hand we're dealt. Enjoy the nostalgia and share laughs with your pals.

Some are waiting for LSRP:V but a lot of people who refuse to play on that other V server are spending their time on various Conan Exiles text RP communities for the time-being.

It's not dead, people just lose motivation from time to time. Most of the LSRP playerbase is well above 18 years and those people have jobs and families to take care of which naturally is time consuming itself. Then again, there's also issues with staff team and their ignorance which negatively impacted playerbase in the past as well. Now, don't get me wrong cause I ain't pointing fingers - there's still people in staff team who care about the server enough to keep it going, but it's clear as day that there's still no will to correct certain mistakes from the past. Anyways, I've written a lot here but it all comes to this: 

 

LSRP is not dead, nor will it be any time soon. However if it wants to survive people who are running things behind the scenes should wake up. Keeping a constant playerbase as high as 190+ players per night is not easy, but until just a couple of months ago it was still at that number. Staff's not to blame entirely, LSRP will keep going as long as we all together keep it going. Enjoy it while it lasts and stop whining, it doesn't help - go IG and create some RP.

LS-RP is in a very fragile place, with challenges that can be overcome however. 

 

We are dealing with the reality that many LSRPers seem to be in their 20s-30s these days and have real lives and that there is another server on a different game with a huge population. It's very easy for people to get frustrated and say "Fuck it I quit" then stop spending their precious few hours of free time on this server or to go back to the one with a huge population on a more modern game. 

 

However, the biggest issue the server faces is that since about 2015 the rift between the players and staff has gotten so massive. There are even members of the staff team who dislike the staff team. Back in 2015, when the server was the top game in town this wasn't as much of an issue, as your only other option was to play on much smaller servers with much noobier playerbases, but today people got options.  I don't know the solution to overcoming this rift, on any server with such subjective moderating standards there is always going to be disagreement over everyone's view of the rules. However, what can be managed of course is game development, management-player feedback and speed of response to applications. 

 

I don't think the issue is SAMP, SAMP and this servers great history is what is giving it a playerbase. Most everyone here has a PC which can run GTA-V but chooses to play SAMP because it's our preferred game for whatever reason or we just love our factions and this servers lore so much we aren't ready to be done with them. 

Player retention, especially faction retention through having good dialogue with factions is crucial at this moment.

Some admins on this server are straight out of a sitcom.

 

It's disappointingly hilarious.
