TOPIC: Is Zarp dead?

Is Zarp dead? 1 year 8 months ago #1402893

My reason for asking is purely constructive. As a member of the community i have deep nostalgia and seek to grind $ with my money printers. I don't see many players active though. Is this because of Xnator developing the F4 menu? Admin abuse? What caused the havoc?	catboy sven ツ Offline Adept Boarder Respected Zarp Contributor Posts: 7197 Thanks received: 1544 Karma: -45

It’s been like this for as long as I’ve played, it’s actually been a lot more active lately, Ssrp just has the issue of having 0 competition.	maddox Offline Gold Boarder Ian foot Posts: 2416 Thanks received: 1294 Karma: -12

Isn't SSRP more about roleplay and PVP being secondary? I can hardly believe anyone took this server seriously given the 16 tickrate it usually ends up having.	catboy sven ツ Offline Adept Boarder Respected Zarp Contributor Posts: 7197 Thanks received: 1544 Karma: -45

Get the occasional rdming gun dealer if thats what you mean by roleplay, what the server needs is some returning players who dont like the current active players (at least some that wont use 90fov 0 smoothing aimbot)

There is no right answer but we can all agree that first, people grew up, some moved on from gaming, others moved on garry's mod etc.
The appeal isn't the same anymore, personally i don't feel satisfied like I used to, there is no competition, when there is new players they are most of the time immediately chased off the server because they are starting to compete with other established players... what is there to accomplish nowadays ?

Even if that's so newer generations should be coming in. It seems like Zarp had a massive surge of players coming in during 2015-2016 and ever since it has been on a decline, with only a handful of players coming in later on.

In general what you're supposed to accomplish is the same thing you were going to accomplish when you first started. I remember enjoying the gang upgrades but once my gang had acquired all upgrades we ran out of stuff to do. We'd come on to raid and base for the sake of being raided. After 4 years I believe there was a few more upgrades to the gangs but it was a long wait and with such a gap the critical mass died out. At least that's my theory.

What would make a dead server more competitive?
