TOPIC: [ALL] Natural Disasters

Server Name: All

Suggestion Title: Natural Disasters

How would it benefit the server: Less forum spam regarding refunds.

Potential Issues/Exploits: No.

Additional notes: This is for when the server(s) crash. In real life, most people permanently lose items due to natural disasters, and I feel that on the servers it shall be the same. Also, some people have insurance, but as you all know, insurance will not refund everything (Hence, this is the refund system that is built into SSRP and hopefully PERP). If you do not get your item back from the refund system, it is lost forever.

Thoughts?

So the server crash is the same as a natural disaster

I see your point but then to counter balance this, you can implement an insurance npc or a job. Which can ensure certain items for you if you die or crash etc. It would need balancing. Can't give this support until you balance it a bit more. Because for now it is just a one way trip basically. However i can see this working out. Potentially.

This is a game, not real life.

Well it is called Semi Serious RP isn't it? I think this can work to an extent if there were other things to counter act it in certain situations. It may not necessarily be a natural disaster, but sort of a new life begins or ends once you leave / join again. There are many ways to implement this in my opinion. 1 with insurance refunding certain items to players who left or got killed or if the server crashes. Also the idea of generations in the sense you get items from your ancestors that basically died. Makes it kinda more interesting in my opinion.

I see where you are going, and it could have potential. But it has to be on the point that for example insurance is affortable and obtainable for everyone. Still though making all of this work would recruire alot of work and patience.

Dont get the idea

Basically what you're saying is:

Fuck the people who lose items they've probably worked very hard for, they can suffer due to ZARP's issues.

Inserted an awesome gif but bb code fucked me
EDIT: my opinion on this: Stupid idea.

Heres the kicker mate:

Noone actually likes natural disasters
