I'm an LSRP fan since 2011, and also I'm a retard, you as head of game development, explain to me please, "I prefer SA-MP but the SA-MP LSRP script is a culmination of works by many people, works that cannot be shared without the permission of those that wrote it. As such, none of our current dev team would be able to develop it anymore" (I remind you I am an idiot and I don't understand what do you mean) can you explain, why you can't come back to the server that y'all made and kept for 10+ years? How is it possible? There's bunch of clones out there already and you can't re-open OG server that was running since 2007 or w/e?
What kills me the most is that, you have 10 players online in the most known, popular server of RP ever made, there's bunch of foreign country servers copying LSRP script style, factions that it had, inspirations and all other bs. And you can't re-open it for some reason :? How can you even be that positive when you got 10 people running around a huuuuuge ass GTA V map for months & you still tend to prove your point n keep it running. There's no chance LSRPV ever competes with GTAW, GTAW is a standart for GTA V like LSRP was for SAMP, no other servers could compete with y'all, they did not last. Same with LSRP on GTA V. It will not last, so that's why we SAMP players are urging y'all to atleast try to re-open it, put some effort into new youtube videos, maybe tiktok videos, some ads, some nostalgia videos, go through discord channels, remind people abt it. Make it blow up, make it as big as possible, 300 people hopped on RCRP with 1 month notice on just forums. Imagine what you can do if you make youtube videos, trailers of reopening and all the stuff mentioned before. Your LS samp server will have 200+ ppl always atleast for few months & it's still better than holding onto dying server.
Maybe run 2 servers? Find someone who's experienced, give him the domain of forum.ls-rp.com etc, let him run it & work on your GTA V project aside.
