I wonder why? - ToiletDuck - 24.11.2017

It's been a while i've been thinking about this, I'm quite shy to post this in General but yeah I have to. Just know what's wrong.

I've been running Survival Gamemode for a 1/2 months and it's called Survival Z. At first yeah I didn't expect that my playerbase raise because we're in hosted tab but some quite time the hosted tab gone and the playerbase decreasing. I develop my gamemode well and trying to implement unique things. I'm not trying to advertise or what. I don't know what's the problem why players keep disappearing in a certain time although the script and the features are not that boring. The player base raise just because it was listed on hosted tab?

PS: if you think this post is not right or not in a right place please let me know.

the first thing that comes to mind (and i might be wrong) is that people rather play the "original game" rather than just an emulation of it on a gta mod

I dont think it's just an emulation of it. There are many DayZ out there and I found one that has many players.

You're late. Zombie genre is dead, unless someone brings something new to the table. It's all been overdone and everyone is sick of it. Even the original game (DayZ) has lack of players, so why would your server have any?

I think that’s a question you need to ask yourself. If it were posted here it’d be irrelevant since everyone would see it.

And if he would script it, it'd be irrelevant since everyone would see it.

I can totally relate, I guess players would always stick to the popular servers? think about this, they have already reached high scores on other popular servers, then they found your server, maybe the new mechanisms they discovered on your server were very new to them they couldn't adapt? I see a lot of unique hard worked on gamemodes fail in popularity in accordance with older ones.

Although if he’s the first to script it, it’d be considered unique for a while. Which is a good thing.

Yeah, I'm waiting for 0.3.8 I hope kalcor will add custom sounds which will give us a big enhancement of developing Survival Gamemode.

Re: I wonder why? - Jay187 - 25.11.2017

Survival and Zombie SA-MP servers became overly populated years ago, then the trend died down. If your server is interesting, people would and will still playing it - visibility is generally key. Having your server on the hosted tab just made it a bit more visible compared to the huge list in general.

If you have a community, ask them what they think.

Re: I wonder why? - StrikerZ - 26.11.2017

I'm still scripting my survival game mode since 4months, let's hope it won't go down after server release.

I never seen admins in your server, find a good team mate.
