people left because the server is ass lol. there's almost no players, the ones that are there aren't particularly good roleplayers, the script is bad and barebones in most spots, and there's almost no factions. The server wasn't even up half the time, there was barely even any CLOTHING which is the most basic feature you can expect from an RP server in 2023. it's completely unfinished.
i wanted to rp a cab driver and spent 2 hours driving around with no fares. the only thing that happened was bored cops pulling me over because i did a rolling stop at intersections on empty streets. During one of them at one point thankfully somebody shot a gun in davis and the cop went running. unless I waste hours of my time doing some inane script job I would never have money for my own car (not having a car was bad enough on a much smaller map with higher running speed on SAMP, not having it on V is basically torture) let alone my own cab.
there's no reason to play LSRP over the competition, that's the cold and hard fact and anybody with a brain saw this coming a year and a half ago. What you're seeing now is whoever has any power (people that are high ranking in official facs, mods, devs, etc etc) staying until it inevitably shuts down because they know they aren't getting anything similar in any of the other communities while normal players have an exodus

I have no idea how you'd ever afford anything in this server without grinding boring script jobs for ages. I made a whole five dollars after being in game one hour as a cab driver

Bring SAMP back OR just drop that shit as is bro lol. RGEMP Heavy English Text RP is literally dying super super quick.
good time 2 do something.
about as good as it's gonna get, GTAW has basically committed suicide in the past month and illegal roleplay there is currently next to non-existent
I thought LSRP had missed its time to release but with how badly Nervous fucked up with the LC server I could legitimately see GTAW dying off if this releases soon
I'm sure that instead nothing will be done though.
edit: another possibility is that releasing LSRP would just split the increasingly tiny playerbase for heavy English text roleplay on RAGEMP and completely kill the scene but o well

its pretty funny that the above poster got mad as shit at an obvious troll and made a bunch of stupid ass arguments about not traumatizing people with lines of text in a GTA game instead of just calling you a weirdo, talk about impotent rage
thanks for keeping this forum alive, OP, best post here in months (not that anyone posts here lol), got a chuckle out of me.

This is just great comedy at this point. Every new staff post we get another bizarre bit of information like jannies below administration (of what? there's no server LOL) not being allowed to contact mmartin, taking a million years to perform basic tasks like writing a summary of a meeting or a man's incapability of, in the year of our lord 2022, having an internet connection for 5 minutes during an entire month or more.

It's not an unrealistic expectation, it is quite simple to implement. I've played on countless servers both MTA & SA:MP that have used a similar system with minimal resources with maybe 50-60 lines of code,
RageMP is not MTA or SAMP. It cannot handle the load. People have been trying to tell you this the entire thread. It's not about what we want, it's about what is FEASIBLE for the server.
-
RageMP isn't nearly as stable as SAMP and MTA were (lol) so I don't know if this is a good idea. Maybe keep them spawned on a hour or so timer if possible, as a compromise?

I might be wrong, but later down the line we'll have server-side mods for specific weapon models, however we'll still be keeping the vanilla weapons to give players the option of roleplaying custom weapons not covered by the script.
For example, you use the GTA V vanilla combat pistol but can roleplay it as whatever realistic 9mm pistol you want.
That sounds very good and like the perfect solution to my problem.

There will be a wide array of weapons, calibres and attachments available. There will no need to replicate it as something else.
I'm sure many will be available.
But what's the actual plus of limiting roleplay this badly when going by caliber and general similarities to allow people to roleplay what they want is much simpler and beneficial to RP? What issue has there ever been with people roleplaying different firearms as long as they're similar to what's in the game? There's no point in adding every Glock generation into the game as a different gun when you can just say so in a /do and let people roleplay having an older or newer model.
I believe we should be allowed to roleplay weapons as whatever we want as long as they're fairly similar. Roleplaying my AK as a vz. 58 or my SNS as a PF-9 isn't exactly going to hurt anyone.
QuotePrices will differ, so this is why this should be enforced.
But the gun you have in the script won't. It will do the same damage, expend the same ammunition and be reloaded the same way. It doesn't matter if you're RPing having some piece of shit Jimenez Arms 9mm or a modern Taurus g3c. It's just RP flavor that never hurt anyone and can add to a character. Stifling roleplay like this is incredibly unnecessary for the very few gains to be had.

This mostly stemmed from the official ruling that we were to rp San Andreas as an island, which I considered a big deal.
Not gonna lie I was thinking everyone had already silently agreed to ignore that for being really stupid
However, now that I'm reading this with more attention, the part about weapons feels wrong to me. It unnecessarily limits weapons roleplay and makes it far blander. Why not just force you to roleplay a weapon with an appropriate caliber, which, while it does rule out a lot of exotic firearms, still gives you at least some freedom?

Pretend there's a fictional river on the north ocean side of the map. Problem solved.
Just kidding.
Anyways is this really that big a debate though? Replace the state with SA and call it a day. I never referred to VC, LC, SF or LV much myself but I really don't care if it's "allowed" (no matter how much you want to, new players WILL still mention it) or not.
-
Roleplaying LS as an island would be absolutely bizarre. The map limitations suck but I think we're all smart enough to pretend we're not in the middle of the ocean.

Getting on the character customization server reminded me of how much I hate GTAV's version of it. Any word on when/if we're gonna get ped skins? All the hairstyles look like complete ass and I don't want to regress to spamming /ame's so I can properly RP a fat character.

Should have seen the discord/mmartin stream that day. There were dudes 100% struggling with it and getting 10 or 15 answers wrong. Honestly I don't think it matters that much, we used to have the questions you had to answer IIRC and half of it was complete bullshit like having to reword rules which was more annoying than hard, and we had plenty of DMers and dudes who could barely roleplay anyway due to people sharing answers/it being available online. I can def see why you'd be concerned though.
Story requirements were fine too imo. I don't want to have to write a novel to get on the server, especially if your character is young there really just isn't that much to say that's relevant, the point is making your own story on the server.

idk about feeling like an npc but it makes me mad as hell when it looks like I'm rping with a dude's keybinds
this stretches from the cop who may as well be a police officer soundboard to criminal whose favorite sentence is "where you from cuh?" /me rushes the individual

Can't wait for the old forums to come back so i can actually rescue all the old shit that's still around
-
Is ALT:V really that much better? What I've seen from RageMP and FiveM has definetely not impressed me (about as bad as SAMP before lagshooting was fixed).
Obviously it's not gonna change but I hope RageMP really does improve a ton.

I'm not really talking about pedo RP, I dislike pedo rp, I had some weird interactions with a player on the old LSRP who partook in pedo rp, when i mocked him IC, he started arguing with me OOC about why his rp is so good, idrc if its banned, but everything else should stay as it is. I also think you're reading too deep into it, the rules have been as they are for 10 years now as I said and we've recieved no 'media attention' or bored journalists writing about the server.
Again I have to say I 100% understand what you're trying to say. Slippery slopes are real, obviously, but in my opinion this is one of the few topics that's best left behind a locked door and completely inaccessible. Nothing to gain, everything to lose. GTA V isn't SAMP - SAMP was incredibly obscure compared to online GTA especially with the boom of voice "rp" servers.
All the other shit you need OOC perms is almost equally weird to want to roleplay but pedo shit is really on a completely different level. Again, especially consider the fact that krisk was an admin here once.

I don't agree with restricting roleplay like other servers do, it's that simple.
I can definitely see your point in trying not to restrict anything but I can't see anything positive coming from allowing pedo RP. It's an incredibly sensitive topic for very good reasons. It doesn't benefit the server, much to the contrary, it opens it up to media attention (you never know when a bored "journalist" is around) and attracts the lowest of the low onto the server. Not to mention you have to legit be a weirdo IRL to want to RP that. And again, I have to mention that LSRP already has a somewhat unfortunate past with nonces. There's no positive and a whole lot of negatives. Plus it's just morally wrong to have that shit portrayed in something that's decidedly not very mature.
There's a difference between Lolita handling the topic and a GTA V RP server, to say the least.

gonna miss pming random people and asking for rape perms
anyways, yeah, no real reason for pedophilia rp to be around in any case though i suspect this is a case of it falling through the cracks
we really don't need or want another krisk situation or similar
-
i dunno man I don't want to talk shit or anything but I've been thinking of what street gang faction to join and all the terrible grammar I see on a bunch of threads is really putting me off
This one looks interesting though.

I never thought that was too bad. It compensated for how unreliable houses were as stashes (who never had the server reset in the middle of the night and come online to an empty ass stash spot before?).
Old car ownership system and everything surrounding it worked 100% fine for me tbh, not really anything I'd change about it.

80 players online was already boring on SAMP, on V you may as well be alone. And again, there's nothing on this server that's superior to the competition. No thanks. I haven't been ingame since a day after release or so and I have no plans to return unless the server magics up at least 200 players for peak time along with a better script and basic missing features.
I have no idea what the plan is to do this considering that, again, there's nothing here that would attract a new player over other servers and the playerbase has been going down, if anything
