Roleplay - Rehasher - 18.09.2017

Slowly but surely roleplay servers are starting to decrease in playerbases, closing down or just falling apart in general. Roleplay is one of the primary things that makes sa-mp what it is, as it cannot compete with any other roleplay scripts on games.

Generally roleplay servers copy-cat other servers styles and how a roleplay server should be, and it's globalised across sa-mp. Most roleplay servers are faction-based or you're trucking 10 hours a day to get money.


What do you think would be nice to see in a new roleplay server? Which would make it more enjoyable for new players and people who just don't want to be in factions, even if it's switching up the sa-mp general roleplay terms and creating new ones.

I think you haven't checked gmod yet, it has about ~1290 rp servers.
It can compete.
(Russian and English(UK/USA) servers dominate the list (like always))


A better action-response thingy.
To replace that "oh wait, lemme type that I dodge all of your attacks and I kill ya with a single bullet."

Schools/University roleplaying, Prison breakout roleplaying.


Also, how come that nobody made a plugin or something to speak with people who are close to you?
I don't mean a teamspeak or discord, where you can chat with anybody on the server, but actually get close to somebody and talk with him through a mic.


Why not add some life missions/quests/stories with npc's? Or a live city with npc's

Already working on a Prison RP.

Re: Roleplay - Kaperstone - 18.09.2017

But why the focus on one theme?

You can expend it to other fields as well.
Living in a prison is fun, but eventually it dries up and people move to other kinds of roleplay.
You can't roleplay a prisoner for weeks or months, you eventually want to experience other things as well.

You can mix them up by making jail time longer or make people choose a background at the start.

Life of a prisoner, businessman, weapon dealership etc.
and give them extra perks in the fields, so a prisoner would stay longer than usual in prison.
Businessman can open companies.


And even a cop life, by making people to stay longer and pass exercises before becoming one and even a test at the end.

What is the point of "quality picked cops", you have less cops, less people attempt to become cops because they don't want to pass through all the headache of applying or "staying up to the rules of the server" and such.

You can create a script that detects whether a player has made a crime before it for false claims.
Records or whatsoever.

In my opinion, roleplay servers lack of opportunities, freedom is the key to fun.

I'll be happy if there's a roleplay server with people who have the knowledge on how to actually roleplay for fun but not always for their personal benefit, there isn't too much grind for money as I'm sure people want to spend most of their time roleplaying instead of working scripted jobs, firearms aren't to hard or easy to get but there's always a plug for you to obtain them from but eventually you can become a plug yourself, server has constant updates and listens to their playerbase and doesn't add unnecessary changes, administrator team isn't overall trash and isn't a group of retards or Pakistani's, the server community isn't toxic, server focuses on realism and fun, and a simple script that doesn't overall focus on being unique. Really it's so many stuff that I'd like to see appear in a new roleplay server but it'll most likely never happen.

Re: Roleplay - Splodyf23 - 19.09.2017

I would love a server that focuses on all the different types of roleplay i.e Normal Roleplay, School Roleplay, and Prison Roleplay.

Re: Roleplay - Hansrutger - 19.09.2017

There can be! But only if a server gets the right people in the right spots. That is the true challenge in SA-MP... Not having "the best script" lol.

Re: Roleplay - iConvict - 19.09.2017

In my opinion it's because most Role-play servers open up, and only really care about the script, and not the general state of the community. The staff team should be up to par, and the Management should set an example amongst the players. Role-play servers are hard to deal with, but if you put enough work into I can assure your work will be recognized.

Re: Roleplay - Bingo - 19.09.2017

Every week someone plans to open a role-play server, Tons of role-play.

Re: Roleplay - Zedder - 19.09.2017

Yeah thats true that players mostly dont want to try a new server just because of mindset that all the new servers are either using NGG script or any other famous server script.
But if you are bringing something new and up-to-date on the table with hosted tab, it will surely rock out.

Re: Roleplay - Calgon - 19.09.2017

You have no idea...players will leave if it's not familiar or already packed with players.

---

Re: Roleplay - Zedder - 19.09.2017

Yeah i agree that they will leave if its not familiar or easy to learn but how they will get players if they are starting as a new server? there won't be 80-100 players playing if its a new server until its a new russian server.
