I knew people would be upset about the special car thing. It's true that people don't really get much for staying so long on the server. All the items are available, now. Even the ones that are incredibly rare. But there isn't really that much that can be done about that, because if Chute just decided to take all the Special Cars away from the people who didn't have them before the update, then those people would be up in arms even if they're refunded the current value. I feel like maybe people just need to embrace ZARP for what it is. The one DarkRP server where basing isn't all about lockpicking/keypad cracking bases and hoping that you change weapons just in time to stop the owner of the base from shooting you in the face when he's got that mace, but you know these things can't be replaced OHHHHHH
All seriousness, Chute, EMP, Tyler and Para are always coming up with new ways to improve the server. Sure, it might not be the most amazingly fun place for some people, but it still provides a good laugh for others and makes a lot of people happy, still.
It's not the special car being added and them making a lot of people happy.
To start, the special car was more fun for new players when they had to find out what it actually was. Some people even enjoyed the story of how you had to get the special car/how the staff team kept it a big secret. The main fact is that they'd rather say "fuck you" to the old loyal players instead of creating something actually fun and useful to the server.
