TOPIC: [SSRP] ZARP Classic Server

What do you think the server should be called? (leave this blank if you like ZARP Classic):
ZARPGAMING.COM SRP [CLASSIC SERVER] -{special day}

What map do you think the server should use? (Paste a Steam workshop link if possible):
Evilmelon v1

What item(s) do you think should be banned/blacklisted from the server? (name as many as you like):

Every suit except jugg but nerf it
Mini2.0, pretty much everything except emp and m9k

Any other information:
I used to play a server called KDGaming and it was exactly like Zarp except all the special suits and that ( so I want the classic server to be like that)

This. Also, maybe you could use Old School RuneScape as an example. Where they update some Quality of Life based on Polls voted by players. If 75% votes yes, it passes. Otherwise, it won't get in the game.

YES YES YES YES
Fuck all the suits and OP shit

Hi everyone,

Obviously we had our CM team meeting last night - we discussed the prospect of launching this server on a fresh database in great detail. Some of you will be disappointed reading this however I'm afraid we will not be launching ZARP Classic on a new database for a number of reasons (of which, I'm happy to discuss as required).

My job now is to go through these replies, draft up some numbers and identify common items you lot want blacklisted in ZARP Classic. I'm going to push these numbers onto Chute & DEAD ASAP as I'd like to have this project started sooner rather than later.

I will leave the topic open for people to discuss things further if they'd like. If you've got any questions, feel free to contact me via Steam.

Cheers

You cant be possibly thinking that you can just release the same server but with some removed items and expect the server to be popular right? What will there be to grind if items and money just transfer over. There either needs to be something new or something to grind for so players can actively play

People want that for nostalgia. That's the reason.

If we create a server which is just based on people wanted to hold onto that feeling of nostalgia, as was attempted with Friendly Players in the past, the server will just die out incredibly quickly as soon as users no longer get that same feeling, which does always go away once you get used to it again.

What we want to create is not something which will just draw in old players and let people relive a little bit of nostalgia. We want to create a server which is a little friendlier for new players so that they can base, so essentially, yes, this will be a basing server. However, something that we can do is have certain special printers / printer boosters disabled on the server to give people a reason to take the risk of basing on the main servers.

A lot of people seem to be getting the wrong idea about this. We know that we can't please everyone in the community. That will never happen, because in any environment, people will always want something besides what they actually get, the whole "grass is greener on the other side" thing. We will not do any kind of server reset at any point, but nor will we remove all of the items from the main server that make ZARP unique and fun compared to other servers.

The best middle ground that we could find on this was the idea of a ZARP Classic server (a name like ZARP Combat may be more suited to the server itself in all fairness), in which certain items will be disabled so that people can't use OP methods of raiding / defending or making money (suits, x4 printer boosters, some special weapons, etc.)

Basing is relatively harmless unless you're using a large number of alternate accounts. Also, if you strictly oppose having any overpowered printers & bases, you could always suggest blacklisting all the overpowered printers and instead make the people on the server rely on printers like the Black Diamond Printer, etc.

the effort is appreciated but its entirely wasted without a separate db and will just flop

Would it be possible to list some of the main reasons as to why there won't be a separate database for the new server? I believe most people would be able to accept it as long as the grounds are somewhat reasonable.

no new database kmt

Finally, a reason to play Zarp again.
Just call it ZARP Classic
Use the map evilmelon

I outlined some of the main reasons in my post after editing it if that answers your question. Let me know if not.

It's sufficient for me. I can also think of a few reasons on my own as to why it would be a bad idea to have it on a separate database. Overall, I think it's a fair decision.

this will end up being a giant waste of time and energy from everyone involved
got everyones hopes up for nothing

yo bois lets start an arma 3 darkrp, never done before!

OK chief

Every game that releases classic/vanilla servers does a reset and ZARP doesn't. Why does ZARP think that they're superior in decision making versus big games? Kinda betting against them now.
