TOPIC: Welp, SSRP is dying.

Its going to end up dead because chute’s sucked all the money of the 12 year olds that have acces to their moms credit card so they can buy booster packs etc

I mean its about time

i dont know about others, but i have done around 30+ nukes this month, and Pink also setting up a base this weekend!
thats something to look forward to i guess

SSRP needs a fix with the basing problems we have atm. Nobody cares about money since you buy boosters and you are rich again. The thrill to play is just not here anymore.

It is anything but dying, just take a look at the gametrackers from the past week

I agree. A lot of the recents updates have completely destroyed basing, and basing and raiding is a very important thing if you want an active server.

I see plenty of people just come and go.
Honestly, I think a revamped quest system would be pretty cool, as long as it has some decent rewards to entice people into playing, and maybe some quests to teach them how to play (how to mine for example, or how to craft), rewarding them ores, pickaxes or crafting materials

Tbh it is, the ranking of the servers are going down lately, I mean like newbies can't even have a chance to play around, base neither raid since other people can just come with fucking suits and special weapons and destroy them in 5 seconds. I just miss the old times in 2014-2015 when there wasn't no upgrades neither gay suits. It was really fun back then and enjoyable af, but now dreams got broken into shitty op features

People have gone back tp mainly pvp based gameplay as printers are no longer triple/ 5x boosted

The best times were 2014. I'd have to grind for days with an auto clicker to craft milkors and orbs. Once I got 50m which took a few weeks, I bought the Ferrari and I was so happy.

Back then the grind was real, it all changed after the Tgun was introduced but it was still a lot of fun as milkors,m202s were still used. The economy wasn't damaged, boosters packs wouldn't give you this massive advantage, just extra space and a few other benefits. This was 2015 and that was also a fun time to play where 300m was a lot.

There was bases, raids all the time but it has changed, drastically and it's not good. I see these booster packs giving huge advantages causing people not to base because why waste time on the game when you can just buy booster packs. I could understand from an owner perspective but for the players it's not promising.

I also see items that I would never expect to see in a million years. The concept of the game mode has shifted from this focus on actually having to grind(Craft, Mine, Print) against trying to "RIP" suits.

More players = higher chance to base

We aren't looking for relentless or 2-man bases, we want bib bases to raid for enjoyment. And there were none. Not to anyone's surprise, as the point of basing is gone when you can just buy boosters to get rich. From the past updates, people have gained tens of billions. Everyone (generalizing) has multiplied their wealth tenfold and that's just not fun, to me at least. I haven't played because of mainly this and other reasons, it's just not worth it anymore - people base when they need money, not often for enjoyment.

That's a little off-topic. However, I can confirm there were no significant non-hidden bases that we wanted to raid. And there won't be many for a while.

I can understand peoples saying " suits ruined a fair bit of rp potential this server had ".
But straight up saying " It was better back in 2014-2015 " is retarded Im sorry. Had the server not evolved Im quite sure it would be way worse than now in term of popularity because everyone would've been bored of yet another darkrp server where there's no goal to reach but make more and more money.

Suits and other expensive items brought a meaning to being rich. Because everyone wants that super op suit or that over-destructive explosive weapon. Everyone wants to stand at the top and be " that cool guy in a suit ".

The real problem of this server is the difficulty for new players to actualy earn money and that's what makes them go away. When you start your only choice is basicaly to grow mushroom/weed or mine steel to sell to make some garbage money. And basing takes so much time, effort and a decent ammount of money to even begin with that it's just not worth it for most players. I mean when there's no special 3x boosted printers or x5 suits, basing normaly takes up to 3-4 hours before you even make back the money you spent on the special printers. And that's more than enough time to be raided 100 times over considering there are constantly peoples connecting to S1/S2/S3 with scan master and nano/hyper to raid whoever might be basing.

This leads to a stagnant player base with no newcomers staying inducing a lack of competition and a general boring feeling when you join any of the servers because litteraly half of the players on S1 just stand idle at spawn or just sell shit in their shop. Which I will never understand because some peoples actualy never even base/raid/nuke but still gather billions that are just gonna sit in their bank account.

Please, if you were a player in 2014 you would understand why everyone says it.

Sure, servers need maintaining and something needs to be introduced to keep a flow of entertainment going. However, for a lot of people, just simply having that rivalry against other gangs and making bits of cash was enough to keep them playing.

When players weren't drowning in money, trying to make as much as possible was the goal for a lot of people. If you ask what the difference is between earning 100m back then and earning 10b nowadays is that there was always so much more you could make. Same with the 10b but when does it stop? 999b? Even so, special weapons like orbs were worth 20m. Money was a lot harder to make back then, which extends the time that players are on in which they're grinding.

Rich coming from me but, to maintain a healthy server I think a communication should be established with the players to hear their ideas and concerns. Something like a community liaison in which takes place on the teamspeak every so often. Understandably, bringing out updates, surprises and all that jazz is nice but when these updates are only created from one perspective which is the owners, the players have no choice but to stick with it even if it's something we don't like. Instead, the owners can focus on what the players want to see not what they want.

I have an example to show how things have got out of hand. There is a suggestion which is to buff the VIP printers to double their output. Back in 2014 just having nuke printers down meant business. You didn't have money to just waste putting them down, once you put it down you were there for hours.

Here we are, looking at suggestions to double their output JUST to keep up with the economy.

Not to sound disrespectful.
