What about a real RP server? - Anarkien - 27.05.2011

Hello,

I've been roleplaying SA-MP for several years now, and I often ask myself why there aren't more "hardcore"/"strict" RP servers. I used to role play LS-RP, but even though you need some RP skills to register, people still meta- and powergamed a lot, which just made me sick. I also joined Project Reality Roleplay (PR-RP) like ... two years back in time, but yet again there were too much non-RP, especially the economy.

If I had the skills to create a server, or the contact network of programmers and enthusiasts who would be able to make a RP server, it would look a bit like this;

- A realistic economy.
-- Cars = ranging from like $800 for some crappy first car.
-- Houses = Everything between some thousand dollars and some million dollars, depending on quality of house (house trailer -> Richman house).
-- Businesses = Should be controlled by a stock market or similar, and the buy price on a business should be fairly high since it's an easy way to invest to earn cash.
-- Absolutely NO refunds from other servers.

- Donations.
-- No in-game rewards for donations (like cash, cars, etc..), but rather VIP status and special access to stuff in the forum, etc..
-- Should be several donation options, but shouldn't be too easy for small kids to use their mom's credit card to buy virtual goods.

- Professional admins.
-- "yeah, like I haven't heard that before" .. So many newbie server owners think of themselves as professional admins, and then credit themselves with thousands of dollars and the best houses and businesses. I've seen it before, and it's just what happens when "power hungry" children get to run a server.

- Advanced features.
-- When I choose a server to play on, it's a must that there's a programmer/scripter in the admin team. What's the point of asking for suggestions and features on a new server if the admin team must decline all features because of lack of programming knowledge?
Advanced features are also necessary in order to make good and active, as well as professional role play servers.

- Knowledgeable and professional players.
-- All players must have a high standard of role playing, and there must be at least OOC tests (like LS-RP) in order to get to register at all. All players asking admins for money/admin/mod etc., should have warnings and bans.
All in all you must prove yourself worthy to play amongst other "professional" role players.

- Structured and organized forums.
-- There must be an organized and well moderated forum where the players can apply for registration of organizations and businesses, as well as buying land and applying for jobs, licenses, etc. There must be "letters" sent IC on the forums to the Government, and more. Like LS-RP, but should be more professional than that.
-- The forums should also be a place where new and old players can get help from people who knows both the script and the server well, not just "newly registered players wanting to become helpers", as that's a sign of unprofessionalism.

- Basic RP stuff.
-- Of course, basic RP rules will apply, such as driving RPish (unless you're actually in a chase, or something..), not killing for fun, no meta or powergaming, etc.



Wow, a bit harsh server maybe, but would there even be any interest for such a server?

I think it's a great idea. But it could also be too RP. People join a server for the fun, not for doing exactly the same as in real.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Anarkien - 27.05.2011

I agree, it must be fun! However the fun part is when there are a lot of players playing "Professional RP" style, not just DMing everyone, or events started by admins, which I'm totally against. The admins should play like any other player, and when they're on duty they should NOT play as a part of the rest of the server, or interact RPly with the other players. In-game events should be ran by private organizations or players

Yes.
You don't know how long I've been saying this, That SA:MP Needs good RP Servers.

Most of them are just... Disgusting. Espically Next-Generation and San Andreas Roleplay.

And MTA has some good ones, But most of the time Dick Admins ruin it.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Joey_Griffiths - 27.05.2011

They are not even true roleplay anymore. They let people run around with non-rp names. And lowercased first and last names.

---

Re: What about a real RP server? - XaejiJaeinki - 27.05.2011

Exactly.

I also find it disgusting how there, Admins have "Roleplay Accounts" and "Admin Accounts".

Also, Its more like RPG. Its just one big E-Cash gathering competition.

These servers exist pretty much (at least what I can say about the German SA:MP Servers), you just have to find them and make sure it is no GF-Edit.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Anarkien - 28.05.2011

Well, I would love to join in - if I were a German.. However, there's a need for English pro. RP servers as well.

I know how you feel about LS-RP, I'd love to play there if it wasn't a meeting point of never-losing egoist RPers.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Deskoft - 28.05.2011

Roleplay servers must have a realistic system, as SA-MP is the home of roleplay servers.
Every single person in the server must agree to this. Starting from the government, it must be realistic.
Atleast I try to do this, because it's annoying that i'm searching for a good hardcore roleplay server, and I only find 2 or 3 (C-RP, RC-RP [already getting f*** up] and LS-RP). If you are going to make a server, you must be sure that you have the team and the required amount of "human resources" to accomplish the task.

New roleplay server are coming! Just be patience. haha

Re: What about a real RP server? - Anarkien - 28.05.2011

@KaleOtter;
Looks like a good feature list you've posted on your site ! Might become a new fav. server, then .


EDIT: Oh, I just noticed your donations page.. Oh well, gotta look for other servers, then.

I hope that this was sarcasm.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Finn - 28.05.2011

Yeah, I lol'd as well.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Mike Garber - 28.05.2011

I really do wonder how the name affects your gameplay, i always did,
as you can't use the nametag in any roleplay anyways.

The only thing you can use your nickname nametag for in an RP server, is
for OOC admin purposes... (Otheriwse it'd be metagaming)

So calling something NON-RP due to nicknames is stupid, even though i do use it and will for my server
since it's standard now adays.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Anarkien - 01.06.2011

Well, RP nick names will probably always "be there" on most RP servers ..

Re: What about a real RP server? - Elorreli - 01.06.2011

People seem to prefer servers where they can get 100,000 in 2 hours and buy a car for 2 millions, that's the sad truth.

If you're one of the few that wants to try something more like you described, check my signature.

Re: What about a real RP server? - Mr187 - 01.06.2011

If people preferred that than why is it the most popular RP servers on SA-MP require a decent amount of time (like a good few weeks of work) to own a vehicle ?

Re: What about a real RP server? - Tachibana - 01.06.2011

Totally agree with the topic and will sure take this as a reference.
