TOPIC: What happened to Zarp?

Hi, I recently returned to SSRP this week after almost two years of being inactive on both the forums and on all three servers and really want to know what happened to the community.

Zarp used to be packed with people doing RP jobs, basing, raiding and all together having a good time but all I've seen now is people breaking rules, setting their names to something crude or offensive and not doing anything but walking around the streets looking for something to do.

I can't be certain if people just lost interest in the whole aspect of the server or if the new players just don't understand how to play correctly but it's pretty sad to see whats happened.

TLDR - Zarp is nothing like it used to be and I would love to hear your opinions to why.

Thanks,
Brownman.

It's dying

The longer one has to do with gmod losing interest with time, but no update for months has played the biggest role I'd say.

i left

what was the point of that raid
he literally gained nothing but a couple thousand dollars and 0 gang loot.

Wow! I left before these suits came out but they seem pretty over powered against newer players or smaller bases and it's not like we can go back to being vanilla as everyone who has spec weapons and suits will be pissed about loosing them.

btw were you there when the gluon gun was release? That was chaotic tho XD Instant holster+Insane amount of damage

I was active when the Gluon gun came out and it was brilliant for raiding but totally over-kill for smaller bases where the newer players had no idea on how to defend themselves against it.

We used to use 1 million dollar Milkors back in the day and that's all we needed before gang upgrades came out and they wouldn't destroy bases anymore.

Welp last time it was really difficult to get rich in SSRP XD unlike now

Back when server 2 was RP_downtown_evilmelon and loosing a Milkor was devastating as it would it take you ages to make another one million and then you had to speak to someone to craft it for you.

The good ol' days.

..And lets not talk about mining the steel using a basic pickaxe.

Mining also got a new item (pretty sure you know about Diamond Pickaxes), basically it's a pickaxe that gives you x2 the materials, it's called an Iridium Pickaxes or some shit.

Yeah I used to sell them during the Halloween and Christmas event so people could mine Ruby and transfer them to Gems but on the RP_downtown_evilmelon map it was a basic pickaxe or a VIP pickaxe which was bad enough to try and farm materials to make spec weapons.
