Use all Cities or no? - Lynn - 29.03.2011

Hello,
I am currently creating a RP script from scratch, we already have a player-base of 50+, but with this new script
we are considering using the whole state of San Andreas.
Is it a good idea, or not?
Why, or why not?
We have several large, unique things in all the main cities(To keep attraction away from only one).

Removed - I didnt see you had posted that you have a playerbase of 50

Well we can add all houses, or move them, IG. Dynamic. As if I had to manually add them like in GF I'd go nuts.
As for stores, we can add them all IG as-well.

Well you could always add it in I suppose,
but if I'm going to make a Dynamic system, minus well do it for a script from scratch :P

Well I see you have 50+ players well that is good but I would recommend if you start in Los santos with a player base like that

Ask your players, and let them decide. Maybe they stay on your server because of the location, the features and the % of chance to meet someone else. If you expand too much too fast they might not meet people as often and get bored and leave for another server.

But I'd suggest you to ask your players what they want instead of having us decide it, and if you follow our advice we might ruin your server. I mean, we don't know your players.

I'll give you some arguments, plus and minus points. Then you can choose it yourself.

"Yes" reasons (+)
* You can have a nice gamemode with it. eg. travelling with a plane, or go take a holiday at Las Venturas (go to casino's etc. Nice idea, it'll be in my gamemode. You may make it too if you want :P. I mean, why shouldn't you may do it. Idea's are not copyrighted or something, and I wouldn't find it out anyway).

* Some people hate eg. LS, so they can go to eg. SF or LV. More chance for players that'll keep playing on the server

* SF has nice things for RP, LV too (a bit), and LS alot. So multilple RP things

* You can make the LSPD,SFPD and the LVPD. When a suspect leave LS, the LSPD must stop following, and contact the SFPD to take care of the suspect. When it's a very dangerous suspect, use the SAPD (another feature for my gamemode)

"No" reasons (-)
* Alot to do: Maybe objects, vehicles (for sure), houses, scripting positions etc...

* For max 50 players, it's ALOT. You have more chance that you don't have alot people on the streets, because they are all over SA. eg. then you're maybe alone in SF, what makes it more like a ghosttown then a RP city

* When you're eg in SF/LV and must go to LS, you must travel alot


As you can see, there are better + then - points. Now, you choose what you want You can eg. do only two cities too.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to use SF and LV, as LS is way over used.
I will still have cars and some stores, but I am going to focus mostly on SF, and leave LV for a "Get away" city, I'll make a cool system for the casino's and stuff.
