Will LS-RP survive?

[Anasbenatt9]

Yes

[Chicken Bargain]

Donator money has already been stolen.

 

Rage LSRP was never going to be a thing. It was all Hopium, false promises, lies or whatever you want to call it.
 

Again Mmartin hit the road with the community’s donator used to keep this server alive. Hope you folks don’t give LSRP another dime. They abandoned the very community they relied on. 
 

Go ahead and forum ban me again, I’ll die on this hill.

You can make the best pizza in the city, but if you cook it in a basement with no sign and tell nobody, you will sell zero slices. Not because pizza is bad. Because nobody knows where it is.

 

 

And ”Focus on Rage” is honestly funny.

 

We already did. RAGE MP launched, couldnt keep up with GTA world, activity dropped, and it got shut down. That experiment already answered itself.

 

RP-wise it was never close either. Peak LS-RP had realism, identity, real factions people still talk about today. Rage turned into everyones worst nightmare. Mall rats took over the server. No patience, no realism, no long term thinking. And not one single memorable faction came out of it. Nothing. No legacy.

 

And now the plan is to double down on Rage while GTA 6 is around the corner and GTA V is clearly on borrowed time?

 

The GTA World guys must be laughing watching this panic.

 

SA-MP survived because it became culture.

 

Chasing Rage now is not strategy.

It’s being late again and pretending it’s forward thinking. And that 0 percent chance shit you talking about just screams weak mindset, you already folded… so now you pretend it’s impossible. 

 

 

The first launch failed because the script was bare bones and rushed, no real denying that. There's no scenario where players stop playing the superior product (Rage/GTA V) to come back to dated graphics, movement, melee combat, shooting, driving, physics, the list really goes on, for no objective advantage. It would be like trying to convince someone to stop living in their modern home because homes from the 12th century had a unique charm about them - goodluck if you really think you can do either of those. 

 

You played in a different time, dealt with a different audience, and it's just not like that anymore. If Rage flops then LS-RP simply has just run its course, so we'll see what happens when it releases again.

You mean like they did the past year and change when SAMP LSRP was open?

When in the past year has the numbers increased? The peak 6 months ago was 200, the peak this month is like 70.

The server was in a similar state to right now, last December, and the numbers have increased since then after January.

Before I start this and you continue on as the reader, this is not a slander of LSRP, I myself have been on this server since 2014 or so, please do not take my words from a place of hate or disrespect. 

 

We have to look at things realistically. 

 

At peak LSRP achieves around 70-100 players at best, GTAW competes with that averaging 800-900 people on a daily basis. The majority of players on SAMP are older, there is not a large amount of young new players joining because naturally, their interests flock to a newer game with an unarguably larger playerbase. It is hard to get gamers excited about GTA San Andreas in the near big 2026. 

 

We’ve seen all the script updates they’ve added to LSRP in recent years, things that players have thought about and have been asking for years, only to add them now in a poor attempt to appease an audience that is no longer there.  

 

Along with unrealistic demands made by management regarding faction activity, while the entire server is in an inactive state, it is laughable to think that a dwindling server’s management threatens their best customers over an activity problem that is theirs to solve.

Honestly, as a member of the community since 07/08. I am very disappointed at the state of the server. Many false promises, many misleading schemes to get more donations all for a fat 0. With the right management it wouldn’t have come to this state. Its sad to see allot of members leave for other communities. Me being one of them but with how everything is now? It was the only route. Allot of marketing and publicity was promised but not a single penny was put towards it. When the owners do not care anymore and leave pieces for other staff members to pickup n try and put together its sad. When they don’t care, neither will players.

Servers dead and can thank the staff team. Watch them remove this post too hahahhaah

[BONEKRUSHER]

Sad what the server has come to. I love LSRP but staff team destroyed it unfortunately. Don’t tell me samp is dead, there’s other servers with thousands of players and even English rp servers with hundreds of players. 

[PAddict82]

 

LS-RP is done, man. Straight up ghost town now lol. 10-15 players if you’re LUCKY on peak nights, when it used to pull thousands easy back in the glory days. And nah, it’s not “SA-MP dying” like staff loves to whine. Other servers? Packed. This one’s special kind of dead cuz the staff team torched it themselves.

Rage MP hype? Total scam, rushed trash that flopped hard into mall-rat bullshit. No real promo despite all the begging money, no fixes till everyone’s gone. Slap impossible activity rules on factions when the server’s empty? Ban truth-tellers in forums? Pure clown show.

 

Don’t donate shit, they’ve quit on us. Jump ship before it’s too late. Loved this place once, but staff murdered it. RIP.

MARTIN RAN OFF WITH THE BAG DUMMIES.

 

On a real note, if you have been on LSRP for the past 5 years, you'll know that this is nothing new: broken promises, inactive management, Mmartin just taking off whenever, staff doing their best when left alone, overall inability to adapt and listen to the community's wants and needs.

 

This brings us here, dead server.

 

Also, SAMP is just old as fuck. Can only play it for so long, it's bound to die. LS-RP as a community will sadly die as well since LSRP:V didn't manage to take off.

 

People need to stop hoping and give it up. 

Before LSRP was popular, it was struggling. Eventually people from other SAMP servers came and it became the best server to roleplay on. 

Now, those same players left to other, bigger, better servers like GTA:World. But before GTA:World was popular, it was shit to play on if anybody remembers how bad GTA 5 RP was in 2017-2018 and such. 

 

The player base migrated and merged into a new community now, LSRP just has no chance anymore, and that's okay. You can find good people to play with on a new community as well. 

I know it's easy to judge from the sidelines but poor management did the server in.

Say it louder for the people in the back! 
 

Community members are just looking for accountability at this point or some point of closure. Most people in this thread have all been here for over a decade and we’re left without answers or banned upon calling out staff.

I gave a response in the first page, wasn't serious, but it kinda was.  I don't know the LSRP lore because I came from GTA World before being permanently banned and wiped off that server. But I think I seen enough, do I think it could become active again, sure. Do I think it's gonna happen? From what I seen and heard probably not. Last I heard Martin was running the show, and he just vanished? And hearing about these scams and whatever else? Probably isn't gonna help the case either, Played the RAGEMP server I don't know what Happened to that LMAO. To keep it real just gotta see in the future, hope for the best though.

Oh boy there's a whole lot of lore you missing on, but LSRP always had its issues with management, from pedophile server owners to just inactive ones.
 

Ragemp release was cooked, script wasn't ready and it just failed to keep people engaged and motivated to hop on. It also released after many many delays so people just didn't stick around for it. Which, judging by the sea of SAMP Release broken promises in regards to script updates, they were right to.
