Can we bring back the old playerbase count?

@Azuko and @jcgortez, you two queers take this to private messages, clearly a very intense fling between you two, or better of, take each other out for dinner, this topic will be the perfect reason to go. -

LS-RP has always had a communication issue, and I think that's where its main problems come from. There's a lot of different aspects that all connect together to what determines a good or bad server but communication is key. We had a good handful of community events in the discord, but that's sizzled out? Why? We get told to vote on the UCP for new features, but are left in the dark about these, for example the big phone update, it's been posted since May? and we've heard nothing since, and it's been six months which is a lot of time to not hear something. Economy is a big topic - The amount of complaining I witnessed during the first few of the relaunch about money etc was crazy. People were acting like we was all given a big wad of cash back in the day. People expected a reinforced backbone. I want this, I want that. I personally never complained about not having assets. I played and enjoyed and had fun, where now people feel like they're entitled to assets, to then is abused so what does it matter anyway.. Pre LS-RP closure had some brutal leads who had little to no care and I think that has had a ripple effect on LS-RP v2, people jump in assuming things have changed for the better, being given false hope, for it all to unveil just a couple months down the line. The current LS-RP has some good heads, probably the best we've had since 2016 so don't take this as a dig or slight slander. I just think people want that old LS-RP feeling and it's not delivering, times have changed mentally for everyone and we're just chasing nostalgia. What we also got to remember is that LS-RP was of its time, although SAMP had been around for awhile, it was a dominant platform, GTAV wasn't even on PC and by then it was already played for a year+ prior to PC release, and to be honest the servers under LS-RP had nothing to offer like this one did, an exclusive whitelist to filter a bunch of factors, its 1:1 script, how wholesome and connected the community was. I think the generation (outside of LS-RP) has changed and it's having a mental affect on people to where people think they're better than each other and it's sad to see it having a big impression on this community. But aside from the community, SAMP as a whole isn't what it use to be. I don't ever remember there being so many variations of hacks, you had the usual nametaggers, sometimes aimbotters, but never the blatant and obvious use of aimbot, walk speed hacks and just general SAMP physics abuse. Mostly every video I've seen is the player shooting like there real life is at stake, C shoot C, C, C, C... it gets boring and tiring. You can fill out a report but I think people are well beyond that stage now, we're getting older and people like me just get on with it and don't bother to report, it's time consuming and I really couldn't gaf about it. People don't have time like they use to. The older generation of LS-RP are well in their higher 20s to 30s now and stuff like this will always be on the side. People cannot afford to play on top of that, some countries are going through big financial issues. It's just a generational change and the new generation are spoon fed whatever they want, and if they don't, they leave. It's pretty broad as that, nothing to counter it, just look at it as cutting dead wood. -

Sticking with the biker theme; Anyone around or remember the massive Las Colinas shoot out in 2015? Bunch of bikers/white pride vs a bunch of black dudes? We all got smoked, outnumbered a lot. Can't remember the faction, maybe SaWMC and Cardinal Park Hate?

Can we bring back the old playerbase count?

I was a kid when I came across LSRP, managed to get in for the peak times, was definitely a fun era and cannot be replicated. Prayers for those who missed out. -

Yeah, I agree on all points, it's just more my opinion than factual so don't take it as facts. If I had never played LS:RP or even SAMP, and I was my age, I probably wouldn't even bother, you got to take into account the pull the server had on the re-open to where it is now. We came back to a very hard topic in terms of economy. We either start from scratch (and lose a good majority) or we keep the economy (and lose a good majority) because of the "unfair" (which really isn't unfair) advantage... I do feel like new players should of been awarded a boost rather than thrown into the deep end we all faced when we first played (the 15/20k starting money).. The reboot was harsh. Gun economy was insane, players demotivated from the certain facts of the server, etc etc. It's a sore subject, I just don't think we'll ever get "old times" back again. One and done in my opinion.. SAMP is an old platform and I'll say it again. Look at what Five:M is doing. Insane development and so much more features, and I'm comparing the two because it's mainly rivals if you look at it in terms of roleplay for GTA games... There are different games, I don't think people like being camped inside a house and roleplaying in such a toxic elite atmosphere. -

The younger generation would see this and laugh. They're born into much more realistic and better games than GTA:SA, whereas us was around this game as kids and it's in our nature to love it. -

No. It doesn't matter how many influencers make videos on the server, it will never have the pull it did back then. You got to remember when it was really "old times", a lot of us was teenagers / early adults with little to no responsibilities, GTA 5 RP servers weren't about, different types of games weren't about, and the whole roleplay on SAMP idea was still fresh. LSRP has really maxed out what it can do, and you can only do so much with SAMP. Player's prefer voice over text roleplay, players prefer playing other games and discarding roleplay all together. There's nothing possible for 700+ players online at one time again, hate to be that person to pop that hope. -
