(( Out of Character )) I have decided to open the faction again, but with an emphasise on street level crime. The leadership structure will be completely different and I'll plan it out over time. In the meantime, those that are interested in joining please feel to send me a message on Discord. I want people that are going to be active, dedicated and determined to get the faction to the stage that it needs to be. Our goal isn't to just provide role play for the faction members, but the community as a whole. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm open to all walks of life so please feel free to get involved!

(( This post will be changed in the next coming days, this is just a placeholder for now ))

Something I want to mention is it was a vocal minority that was suggesting tapering/the hard economy be removed at the start. The surveys we put out showed an overwhelming (~75%) majority in favour of both tapering and the harder economy. Those players stopped playing and the opposing view became the majority, hence the change, so "timing" was not the issue.

im gonna miss you

What I meant was that these suggestions weren't listened to at the right time. Timing was very important for a brand new server at opening. People complained about the same 10 things for months, yet nothing was done about them. Since then, almost all of them left and left with a sour taste and a lack of trust. We can bring them back nut it would take a tremendous effort from management and senior staff, from devs, faction leaders and other staff and players as well. I can give suggestions but I can guarantee you nothing will be done about it. If by any chance someone will pick them up, it will take forever and be half-done. There are two big reasons people don't join: - Things take forever to do or are just hard for no reason - people want stuff now, not in weeks and months, especially when we don't have that upper hand. They are complaining about it on World but they do have that upper hand. We don't and we should capitalize on that. If someone wants something, anything, the staff team should be crazy flexible and it should be very easy to get. If I want a business the process should be basic and fast - I post my idea on the forum and by tomorrow I can start it up. If I want to run a scheme, I can have an answer by tonight (which should be a yes, and if there's an issue ways to fix that but still a yes) and start it by tomorrow. If I want to join a faction like PD or some mob, I should be able to do that within a week or two. If I want to start a faction, again, up by tomorrow. We're really not that busy nor in the position to make people wait and impose limits. The economy is an absolute mess, people like some grinding and making easy money so that they can focus on RP. People want guns and drugs and money. - There's nothing to do. Encourage RP, create that hub which was suggested so long ago. Literally takes a few hours to set up a map blip and 5 random stores and promote that as an RP hub. Encourage as many people to start businesses and factions as possible and encourage people to join them rather than AFK or do something else. Why would anyone in their right mind join an empty server so that they can go through a 3-month-long PD academy, take 2 months to start a business, a year to get money for a house and so on. And the answer is they don't, they just stay away. But I can assure you nothing will be done about it (or at least nothing drastic, best case scenario a tweak or two which will do nothing) and people will be back here in a month saying the same thing, "if you want to help just suggest something". And so one until we close.
