This thread is about the future of LS-RP, not just the future of LS-RP on SAMP. Yes, the game was fun 5 years ago before Rage was developed properly, but then it became superior in everyway. All the rage insiders you clearly dislike so much all played SAMP heavily and we enjoyed the server, but we also accept the reality that the game has seen its best days. LS-RP is going to either survive or die on Rage, the community's future won't be decided on SAMP. Nobody from the rage team are this upset, we all know the content is good and it's an upgrade over SAMP. I'm not sure I quite get the aggression because we all, me included, enjoyed SAMP but it was never going to last forever. I also don't get the blaming of management. The server started to decline years ago under old management but a lot of people seem to be blaming the current management for not doing more, but I see no real solutions. The stopped banning over trivial matters, they use admin jail far more than they used to, they're unbanning people and giving them 3rd, 4th, even 5th chances when old admins wouldn't have... The biggest mistake they made was not abandoning SAMP sooner, then maybe we'd have the share of 821 players currently on GTA:W.

Where are these other servers then that apparently prove that SAMP has a future, at least for Western roleplay? One look at the server browser and any English/US server is either a freeroam, DM, or cops v robber server. The only RP servers I could find in a look at the first three pages before the numbers dropped to 0 where Russian or Brazilian. Just seems like SAMP continues to be a game that is easy to run and accessible for people with older PCs (make of that what you will) and that's the only reason the game has any life in it at all. Rage is the only future LS-RP has, there's no magical turn around for the server on SAMP, it has exhausted the accessible player base, and the only new players coming in usually find themselves in a forum report within 2 days. It's easy to blame management but I don't see anyone offering any actual solutions to *what* they should do; besides unbanning everyone which wouldn't really work because if you manage to get a permanent ban in LS-RP you clearly deserved it. The Rage server is way better than it was when it first released, Danut and Node have done a pretty good job and there's a whole new fresh playerbase on Rage thanks to FiveM and other Rage servers. I do agree with the one comment someone made on here (can't find it now) that there should be more snippets shown of the Rage server because there's definitely enough there to be building interest and showing the community.

This post is definitely getting locked lmao

release rage, close samp, lets go

Congrats to all :3

Congrats

🔥 tough

FLD making it into the Noah Whitmore thread 🙂

Waiting for LS-RP:V most likely. SAMP just isn't it anymore.

Yes and no. SAMP has no future anymore, it's pretty clear outside of the handful of people who have hopium that the SAMP scene still can make a comeback. I think a lot of the decent players went off to RageMP/FiveM because there's no real reason not to; it looks better, it plays better, has better physics, easier to mod, there's really no objective advantage SAMP offers anymore now Rage is stable. It definitely has a chance to reach the old numbers of 600+ players every night. Looking at the git updates the devs are adding some pretty interesting features, I think they've learnt from the issues that were present in the original release so I have hope it'll reach good players and hopefully provide a solid rival to GTA:W again.

Damn, I never realized LS-RP is that old. Happy Birthday 🎂

This is great lmfao Bob for Chief

So does that mean with restricting the usage of TS3 we'd be moving towards in-game radio channels that can support VOIP, or would deputies have to type during pursuits and other similar scenarios?
