TOPIC: OFFICIAL MAP CHANGE VOTE [WINNER RP_CALIFORNIA]

The voting has concluded!
The server will be moving to the rp_California map!
Hello ZARP members!
Today we're announcing an upcoming map change, provisionally planned for next weekend (Sat 15th/Sun 16th). Not only will you receive a new map, but an update involving the following:

• New Cars
• New Weapon Pack
• Improved UI
• Other Surprises

We have researched some of the possible RP maps, and decided that a new map must be able to accommodate cars and give them a meaningful purpose.

We narrowed it down to 3, including the current map for those who don't want to change:

• RP_Bloc42_ZARP
• RP_California
• RP_Townsend_V2

NOTE
The map change will be trialed for a week. If there is a significant loss of playerbase/large amount of negative feedback, we will be returning to Bloc42.

California
California is a bug-free map which is a bit bigger in relation to Townsend, however there's a couple of smaller 'districts' attached to one big one. Buildings are very detailed in design, and it's generally a beautiful map. There's a range of functional buildings such as banks, shops, auto-repairs, warehouses, offices, swimming pools, parking lots, and a lot of opportunity for basing. The map would be fantastic for vehicles.

Townsend
Townsend is a medium sized map with many different zones, all linked through one winding road. There's a variety of building types including warehouses, shops, apartments, hotels and housing. It has a (working) train system, and wouldn't be bad at all for cars. The map does have some severe glitches, but anyone caught abusing them would simply be banned.

Voted for California, definitely a great map!

I voted for California, looks awesome!

If these are our only options, I'm voting for California

RP_Townsend_V2 That's my vote

There was a public test of the new map today.
I won't complain on Gamingdxr RDMing constantly, while we were told to do a serious RP, because that's not the point of it. I'd rather point out the map we chose basically sucks. It's spacious, that's right, but it's extremely boring. There are way too few details, it feels like the mapper just put some buildings on the desert and that's it. It definitely doesn't fit the ZARP atmosphere, which is why I love the server for.
Please, don't change the map to this one.

If possible, I would like to change my vote. After testing the map California, Snupe and I think that the map is bad in our opinion. I do not think the map would be right for our type of community. The buildings and structures are way too far apart, there are also huge areas that are not filled in, overall, we think that there is not enough detail on the map. We would rather stick to the map we have now because the Townsend map is currently on the Serious DarkRP server.

hold on... are we gonna all lose our money, cars, guns and everything else?????

I'd like to change my vote as well.
I'd also like everyone who voted on California to download and play the map. Even 15 minutes of gameplay will be enough for most of you to realise that this map shouldn't be the future of ZARP.

Ok, let me explain this. There is going to be a week trial period on the new map to see if the community like it. However if the communities negative opinions overwhelm the positive opinions then it will return back to the current version of the bloc map. Just because you have played it in single player or with a friend or 2 doesn't mean it is bad since you have not actually roleplayed on it yet, also just because other servers do not use the map does not mean it is a bad map it is most likely because most RP servers have lazy owners that cannot be bothered experimenting and would rather stick to the classic evocity/downtown maps.

I would also like to add that you shouldn't have voted too early before actually playing on the map and you wouldn't have made a mistake. Thank You.
