TOPIC: Getting rid of the murder server

Doesn't help the fact everyone is so negative about murder, also drawing the community away from it

Anon_Gaming wrote: Because more people disliked it than wanted, it even shows on the original post for the vote. I don't know why you would make a server when more than 50% of the people who voted didn't want it.

We tried a serious roleplay server for zarp and started developing a perp server but it didn't pan out.

Doesn't justify the negativity. If you dislike something, simply don't do it, in this case, you simply do not connect to murder.
There are thousands of players, outside of this community, so if the CM team believe the player base in garry's mod as a whole, could possibly work, then they will give it a chance, hence murder.

This is the actual reason for why the server is low ranked.

I spent a LOT of time looking into what caused the server to become such a low rank, since obviously I want to improve the server and increase its ranking. A lot of care, time and effort goes into Murder, but the reason it does not get a lot of people is because a Murder server requires people in order to attract more people.
As a result of the negativity surrounding the server to begin with, there weren't many people to bring in more people. As the server went on, this negativity continued, so we had no way to boost the playercount from within the community to get those outside to notice it and start playing.
When people do actually find the server, they do continue to play it, and they enjoy it for a long time.
The only way for us to viably manage to increase the playerbase consistently would be to remove the negativity surrounding in within the community, and try to coax more members of the community into the server.

Rather than constantly say that the server should be shut down, it would be much better if you could actually tell us why you dislike the server, or at least give it a chance by playing it and trying to forget all the negativity that you have for it.

It does kind of since the people in the community are going to be more dedicated to the server than the people that are just surfing servers.

I would love to make murder popular but it is just one of those game modes you can't really add anything onto in my opinion. You can only really have cosmetics and map upgrades on it.

The gamemode itself man, it's what me and others have said, it's more of a one time with friends thing than an actual replayable thing. It's fun for a little while but it gets stale over time, and there isn't much to do about it. I've given it a try with blocked and others most likely have too, and we enjoyed ourselves for a bit but it quickly died out on us

We have added a lot of custom content to it actually, for example the levelling system with m9k weaponry, the power rounds and the murderer powers, which do set it apart from other Murder servers and make it more fun

TheXnator wrote: So you're saying we're not allowed to be negative about an awful gamemode? There are no problems with the server itself, it's the gamemode, the community does not want an unattractive special edition of TTT, we've already got a TTT server.

TheXnator wrote:
Leveling with m9k weaponry is on TTT as well, you need something completely unique that doesn't involve stuff from the other servers. www.gmodstore.com/scripts/view/401 this is on the market for sale so I don't feel like it is unique.

Yes, some of our content is on other ZARP servers, but the majority of our content is not found on any other Murder server, and makes the server much more fun to play, and bearable to play for hours on end.
We also have a lot of plans for new features to add to the server, and revamps to the current systems, which should also help to improve the server a lot.

@xnator

For starters most of the people who voted clearly said they don't want a murder server. Those who voted yes were very few in amount. How did you sum up that there will​ be a good player base?

What you said is very true, if there is no players from the very start you won't get players from outside of the community. The community players obviously did not want a Murder server, hence why it's died out.

Yes it has good content, but if there are no players from ZARP how do you expect the server to grow?

server needs to go its so bad

Was fun. One night I binged it to second place, only morgan on top for weeks

Nothing bad meant to Xnator, server's fine but gamemode is monotonous and boring after few hours of play.

I can't give a damn if it leaves or not, but if it stands in the way of a new gamemode then I think this needs to go in the garbage.

Jailbreak

bump

Simple answer: Replace it with perp.

And don't let xnator own it as far as I know his coding is limited

Once the server has gone and a new one put up who’s going to be able to be trusted enough to develop for it? I highly doubt Xnator is going to want to put in work on another serve if the first one he’s done got shit on.
