    We need to talk ...

    u cant see our perspective because your one of them, regardless of how many players the server once had or has now, or when recruitment is open or not, it is a absolute fact that this server was way too populated with cops, i played non stop since release till a few weeks back and every other player was a cop, using the excuse of gang members arent active anymore is not true at all, it has always been like this, you lot would drive around Davis non stop thirsty for arrests, I said it back then that power hungry cops that dont give a fuck about other peoples perspective in RP and just wanna arrest arrest arrest to satisfy their own enjoyment will ruin the server, and we can talk about lack of features/updates and whatnot, but a factor in the player base dropping has 100% been because people just got fed up of cops on their dick 24/7

    2 major issues that with a fix could boost player base. 1 . Fuck this “realisitic” economy, samp was inflated yes, but having savings accounts, having a bunch of money and cars/houses made people not ever think about “needing money” , almost everything was done for the RP, give us bigger paychecks or savings sccounts or whatever, tweak it constantly until its perfect, and stop making everyone care about how much money they have 24/7, then we can get some solid RP. 2. Leniency from staff, yes theirs way too many guns on the server, but that’s only a major issue rather than a minor issue because nobody gets punished for doing whatever they like with them guns, I played non stop since release until a few weeks back, and the amount of DM and poor reasons to kill, poor escalation I saw or dealt with was ridiculous, and none of it really got dealt with, I know a bunch of people who got warning after warning, ajail, banned, unbanned in 3 days, repeat repeat, I understand the leniency was because you wanted to create a player base and not be so harsh banning people from a brand new server instantly, but people literally play this server to DM because they know they can get away with it, knuckle down on all the bullshit, stop letting people off the hook, accept you will lose players by punishing these people properly and not unbanning them in 4 days, but understand the long term effects on having people here to roleplay and know that they cant just run around and DM
  3. Nice to see everyone's opinions on the matter, it's a shame SAMP is no longer around as I don't think anything will ever top it. Regardless of bringing it back or not, I think everyone agrees that more has to be done for this server to even stand a chance of that 1.5 year lifeline we expect due to GTA 6's release. I quit the server a while back now due to lack of features and enjoyment playing it, I really hope one day it's good enough to entice me on returning.
  4. Fully understanding, obviously I was unaware of how seamless the transition back to SAMP would or wouldn't be, I now understand why you guys are more against it than not. A few things I will say is that I do disagree with the player base wouldn't be there, I think that due to us realising now how damn good it was now that it's gone, we would be over the moon with it's re-release. This is my worry right here, I understand your aim and goals, but like I stated with GTA 6 around the corner, how long do you firstly project it will take to "dominate the RP scene" or get close to that, and secondly what sort of lifeline do you realistically expect, you guys must be aware that the ridiculous amount of people world-wide that will drop GTA 5 the second 6 comes out, and then even more so if RP servers are released shortly after, you don't worry this work is for nothing? You could spend the next 2 years developing this server to get to a fantastic position, then it's August 2025 and were waiting on GTA 6 release next month, if your goal is to take it beyond GTA 6's release, you then have 2 issues, one is that your player base if it has hit a very solid point, will massively fall off and there's probably nothing you could do to retain it due to GTA 6, and secondly if GTA:W announce work has started on a GTA 6 server, they have the community, the numbers in place to once again but you guys in a catch up situation.
  5. Firstly, SAMP is a dead horse because it got shut down and V development clearly was the focus, I said how we are in the realisation of how good SAMP was now that it's gone, you clearly haven't read my post, SAMP would not be a "dead horse" if re-released. Secondly, I never said GTA V isn't better, you seem to have just read the title and threw your opinion out that GTA V is better than SAMP, not read a thing I said, thanks for your opinion regardless.
  6. Before this is instantly shut down because staff are so against going back, let's have a discussion about it...please hear me out. I understand all the hard work over the past few years and such to bring out this server, but let's be honest as MMartin has said in his post just now, the player base has been grim, the lack of features/updates hasn't been enough and overall the experience hasn't been great. The server in it's current state is miles behind it's competitor, and as Martin said, miles behind the initial expectations we had for it, the server is years away from being a elite server like it's rival. With the news not long ago of FiveM partnering with Rockstar, this more than likely means that GTA 6 will have RP servers soon post launch, and with the timeline most people are thinking, it looks like we are getting GTA 6 in 2025, this means LSRP has around 1.5 years of life, before let's be honest, the whole world plays GTA 6, and if it does have RP servers shortly after release, then a very small percentage of roleplay players are going to be on GTA 5, add this onto the chances that the other server continues to exist but stop working on future updates etc, and turn their attention to a GTA 6 server, you once again could be looking at a catch up situation. I obviously have no say in the matter or stand even a small chance on my own to change your opinion, but if I was leadership and/or Martin, I would have a discussion about this, take this as a learning experience on what went well and what went wrong, re-release the SAMP server, understand that we are in a situation now where yes LSRP SAMP was declining due to GTA 5 taking off, but now we are massively in the "you don't realise how good something is till its gone" situation, the player base would sky rocket, we would have a incredible placeholder for a few years until GTA 6's release and then a community meeting could be held regarding GTA 6's development/SAMP's future. You already have a modernized forums in place, already a well known community and staff roster, right now I just see the staff fighting a losing battle, develop develop develop to try and catch up even a slice of the other server's player base/roleplay experience it offers, and then boom GTA 6 is out and GTA 5 RP dies quicker than SAMP did. This is purely my opinion and thoughts on the matter, I'd like to hear other's serious thoughts on it, I'd like to hear staff's thoughts, and if they have taken into consideration GTA 6's not so far away release.

    the other server has been up for way too long and had way too much time to perfect everything, i'd choose lsrp over that server if they were both similar, but i cant ever see even a fraction of that player base coming over here nowadays, and with the news of fivem partnering with rockstar, gta 6 will have RP servers so much sooner than gta 5 did, my point is if lsrp developed for 2 more years, it still wouldn't be close to the other servers script/playerbase, AND gta 6 is probably released then...it's a losing battle. imo releasing the samp server again would bring in a crazy playerbase and create a once again huge community to kill time until 6 releases... do what everyone wants, please...
  8. i'd like to see more apartment blocks and living areas modded in, so many areas where there's just space wasted that could have a new block of apartments if someone has made a mod ofc, would definitely congest the map more due to more facs/gangs deciding to rp there and make the already enormous gta v map feel together and lively.
