Will LS-RP survive?

[packer]

Let’s be honest and this comes from love.

LS-RP is dying. Not because the script is bad, it’s amazing. And not because people dont care, they do. But because the focus has slowly shifted away from what actually keeps a server alive.

Right now, the server is technically surviving. Ads keep it online. A few players come and go. But that is not living, that’s just keeping the lights on.

Remember the old days? When you had to wait 10–15 minutes just to log in, hoping someone would crash because every slot was full? That feeling is why people fell in love with LS-RP in the first place.

What hurts the most is that there are so many old players out there who still talk about LS-RP, who still wish it would come back. People who say, ”if LS-RP was active again, I would return instantly.” The interest never disappeared it just went quiet.

And at the same time, there are genuinely bad servers out there pulling thousands of active players every single day. Not because they’re better, but because people actually know they exist. LS-RP is slowly being forgotten, and that shouldn’t be happening.

The biggest issue is simple: there is zero functioning marketing.

 No real outreach. No visibility. No push to bring new players in or to bring old ones back.

Instead, energy is going into things that don’t solve the core problem like RAGEMP, random events, and side projects. Those things are not evil, but they’re just not what saves a server when the playerbase is bleeding.

What LS-RP needs isn’t more features.
It needs players.It needs energy. It needs life.

LS-RP was built on SA-MP. SA-MP isn’t dead, and it wont be even when GTA 6 drops. The audience is still there. Always has been.

This doesn’t require years, a new script, or a miracle, it just requires trying.

This also is not about blaming anyone. At this point, that doesn’t matter. What matters is doing something now, while there is still time.

 

I run a marketing firm. This is literally what I do. And with permission from @Mmartin, I’m willing to have my team run one full week of real marketing for LS-RP outreach, visibility, and bringing eyes back to the server. No changes, no takeovers just visibility and data.

LS-RP can be big again. Bigger than it’s ever been.

And if it starts moving again, people will come back.

If we still care about LS-RP, now is the moment to prove it.

 

Please discuss because the time to act is now.

I said this about a year and some change ago, but a good start would’ve been highlighting official factions in one promotional video. Just a showcase of what there is to offer to new people.

No idea who actually runs this shit show these days. I don’t think anyone actually runs it. I think the administrative team at this point are all running the server with their tails between their legs and eyeballs sewn shut.

I followed my leader, the man, the myth, the legend, the first /me typer. I fell for the cause, because I followed his path that noone else did, and yet I am here again for him. The solution is one and only.
