i am sure you had good intentions on writing this post, but what the fuck
how are you going to say that you are the only one trying? I worked fucking hard getting Head Admin on Murder, because one guy kept fucking denying me for nothing(or something), i mentally and physically drained myself, played for hours on end, day after day, week after week, so after that I didnt play as much, but I still made sure I did shit, that I didnt work my fucking ass of for nothing. I stayed on murder since its start, until its very end. Even after Xnator resigned, I was willing to spend my time learning coding.

give me ha on dr and it’s a

Not to be a debbie downer but I just dont see it being a good use of anyone's resources or time it may get players for a few weeks or months but then will ultimately die again its not a very popular game mode anymore and clearly requires too much care and attention to keep it new and interesting.I agree that server diversity is important to keeping a community like zarp alive just feel there are better uses for the server slot.

Deathrun is one of the most popular gamemodes of all time in many valve games and other games the scene has died the past couple of years i'll agree but there's definitely a community for it. it might not be very big but its still a community i used to really like deathrun and i'd probably play it if it ever had any recognition again

DR just isn't so popular as a gamemode like it used to be



there is potential as to reviving the server, however this will take a long time and i doubt anyone actually has the willpower to put the effort and dedication into it (example being always playing the server even when there is no players to hopefully encourage others to come on once they see digits other than 0 on the playercount)

I really love the idea of deathrun making a return and having the good times back. I would be willing to put effort into the server myself however, I'm worried that people would only want this server back for nostalgic purposes and then after a couple of weeks it would die down again, kinda like what happened with jailbreak.

There's a lot you could do with deathrun, I remember in the past we had plenty of ideas of new things we wanted to add to the server but none of it ever got done. Like I said I'd be willing to help put the server back into an enjoyable position and giving the server seasonal events (which is something it misses out on because the CMT have to focus on the other more popular servers) but I would like to hear what the community team thinks about the idea because they haven't been particularly vocal on this post.

I also appreciate the fact that you put the effort into making this post, love seeing people taking an interest in deathrun again.

The goal with this post is to make it return indeed. I wouldn't personally have invested the time into helping Nick0GR writing something like this if I wasn't willing to also spent the time helping on bringing deathrun back from the brink of extinction. Yes, it may be true that the gamemode has lost a lot of interest since months if not years ago, however, there's still potential for it not only to survive but to thrive if anything we can put in the effort to try and make ZARP's DR server one of the best.
The Community Team indeed has its own focus, TTT and SSRP are the most major servers that the community currently has to offer which warrants the Community Team's attention, however, that's all the more reason to instate someone who is willing to take up the charge and lead the server forward so that, even though the community team has put their focus elsewhere the server still gets the attention and updates it needs in order to get that player count up from zero.

I feel that Deathrun still has the potential to be a good addition to ZARP's servers and that it'll serve to keep the community diverse and active. Any amount of players is better than a constant zero. And even if despite all our efforts we fail to bring the server back, at least we can say that we tried.

Regardless I do wanna thank everyone who left their thoughts on it, every bit, whether it is negative or positive (though not the unconstructive ones) is important. The goals of this project will take a long time to become real and there are a lot of obstacles in our way but it is still something that regardless all the hurdles to come at least I am willing to undertake, and based on especially Bazaraxe's replies I'm not the only one that's willing to give it a shot.

We cannot guarantee success, but the least we can do is ask for a chance to makes sure that years of effort from dozens of people does not end up going to waste in the event the server breathes its final breath and gets shut down.

I fully agree that at least trying to bring the server back is always going to be better than leaving it in the position it is in now.
