It's going to be really hard to revive the server. What you could try is;
* Make a new nuclear launch for a new item and nerf the current one, such as increasing the timer.
* Brand new job for the criminals, a meth cook with new special effects would be cool. But it has to be something
cool, not something copied from other servers. (You need to put effort into this)
* Add a money sink. What's unique about ASAP is that you can actually buy permanent items (not special weapons) for a lot of money. People actually spend their time into getting these. Maybe add a casino?
* Nerf all the special weapons and the suits. Change the meta of everything. It killed the server.
* Frequent updates - Weekly/monthly patches for items, LISTEN to the players. If people are having issues with guns etc, look into it instead of ignoring them.
* Update the map like once every 5 months.
* Take a loot at new players and what could be added to help them. It's impossible for them to have a base up for 10 minutes.
* Don't add ridiculous booster pack deals.
* Fix the attitude of all staff members, including the CM.
We are currently taking the time to go through a lot of things, community wide and server specific, to work out the best course of action to fix the apparent issues and hopefully
Clarky's already shown a little teaser of the map, so that one covered, but map updates do largely rely on Patrick's availability, since he's our map developer (great guy). I do agree with a lot of what else you've mentioned though, and there are a couple of content ideas there that I think could be fleshed out and make it a lot easier for newer players to earn money and to balance out the economy a little more.
Regarding attitude of all staff members, myself and uzi are currently working closely with the Community Team to make sure that community-wide issues are sorted, with our prime focus being the staff team. If you have anything specific that you'd like to make known, please do let one of us know over TeamSpeak / Discord / Steam and we'll make sure to add it to our current list.
