Rockford
The thing with Rockford, it's basically the only reason Server 2 became more popular it's the reason the economy went up so much. Once the Black Diamonds came out people just hid the printers in spots on the map and made money, I was here when the map was added, it was so fun for the first 3 weeks and then people just AFK printed all day. ( I know I sound hypocritical here as I am a victim of just AFK printing on this map as it is the only reason I started playing server 2 to gain an advantage in the economy so I can be rich. The map can effect Economy, server popularity, reasoning for playing and liking of the map in general including problems with bugs. Rockford is just to big in my opinion and can only be fun when huge crowds of people base or the joy of raiding and printing while making shit loads of money with little to no effort at all.
Evocity
Evocity is one of the most used maps in existence for the DarkRP gamemode, I feel we would have the same problem as Rockford, it is obviously going to have way to many bugs as it's such a big map, it will affect the popularity of the server as the Server 2 popularity will go up if people need to make money just by hiding or printing in a low key area of the map.
Evilmelon
Evilmelon is a fun map with little to no bugs, the map was a very good one for the server at the time and it made Server 2's popularity rise and attracted many people from Server 1 to play on Server 2. There is a few things about this map, basically it's used on almost every server just like Evocity and Downtown, but that shouldn't really affect the positives of this map such as there is a lot of potential for great base designs and making it a good map for raiding and tactical game play when raiding or defending and can serve a lot of purpose.
Block 42
Block 42 is a small/medium size map and has previously been used. It was swapped because of it becoming a map that had got boring for the community. I think that if we swapped the map there is potential for the same process to occur.
Server 2 Popularity Changes (Map based)
Rockford
If the map is kept at Rockford the Server 2 popularity will most likely stay where it is at until the community gets to the point of high level boredom and stops playing. If a player is looking to make money this is the reason to play on this map besides long range gameplay.
Evocity
Same as Rockford if the map is swapped there is a risk of players losing interest after a while or gaining interest, as this map hasn't been chosen for zarp yet it is hard to tell due to the unique gameplay and features of Zarps SSRP.
Evilmelon
The server 2 popularity is most likely to stay average, lower or even increase. It could stay as it is due to the map having a good interest for raiding, tactical gameplay and just overall classic fun, it can lower as the map at one point was asked to be changed multiple times due to a lot of people getting bored, it can increase because a lot of older players within the community generally enjoyed it but at the same time it got boring after a few hours of playing (maybe less)
Block42
The Server 2 popularity will most likely rise as majority of the community enjoyed the map back when it was here and for the people that weren't here when it was placed would have curiosity of the map and try it out by playing. The problem is after a while the server popularity could decrease do to boredom like the last time we had it here.
Economy wise
Rockford
The economy of overall SSRP will tend to keep rising due to effortless printing drug making etc. If we keep this map the economy will rise so much that people on the server will be able to afford so much in weeks time, after a while and having the privilege of having almost everything on the server and nothing else to accomplish people will tend to get bored and maybe quit playing or not play very often or as much.
Evocity
The same as Rockford but depending on knowledge of the map where people hide printers or common basing spots and faster ways to get places, it is unknown of what might happen, if it is easy to raid people the economy can rise/drop to normal levels due to people gaining money and losing money during raids, if the map tends to be to big and it's to much effort to raid people will tend to just afk print and gain loads of cash like Rockford, there is a lot of factors for this map due to it never previously being on one of the servers.
Evilmelon
The economy will most likely drop to the normal level of what it was before Rockford was here, as it is easy to find a base and raid it, it is also easy to hide printers and defend as the tactical game play and sniping/guard spots on this map are fun and reliable who knows what might happen as there is a lot of potential for the economy to rise, drop, or stay the way it is on this map due to us having server 1 at the same time.
Block42
The economy is most likely to have the same effect as evilmelon due to there being lots of places you can secretly guard from and base designs will be unique and can have potential for guarding, raiding etc. There is a wide range of possible occurrences for this map and I think it could have potential for the economy.
Look at what I replied with, it includes server popularity and economy problems. Lets stop arguing and just wait the discussion has been going on rapidly repeating the same things over and over.
