Great topic especially with everyone out there trying to be a server owner (sadly due to generation changes in sa-mp) I'm not saying none of them should try tho, but creating a server just for the sake of being admin/owner is stupid, put goals behind your actions if you want to succeed, next UIF/NGG/LSRP server might start by one of you people.
Everyone said their piece , so here are my couple advises:
- Start learning how to script doesn't matter if you have 10 friends developing the server for you. Yes it's hard, yes it doesn't make any sense at first, but if you want to be a successful server owner you gotta learn how to code or at least understand the code, while community management and other stuff are very important, keeping your developers in check and script up-to-date is really important too. Your developers might give you 2000 lines of code which could be done in 10 lines just to say that "they have made huge progress" or you might simply need to make a command for some event you are preparing, you have to know how to do it.
-Everything is possible, nothing is perfection if it's done before there is a way to do it better, if it's never done there is probably a way to do it even with the sa-mp limitations
-Don't over-complicate things A cool complicated system might add alot to a gameplay, but over-complicating things might just kill the fun all together, for example people don't need to wait 5 minutes to respawn for the sake of "simulating death", it shouldn't be more than 2 minutes.
-Remember people want fun It's not fun if someone buys 1000 hours of hard-work, it's not fun if they need to grind for 1000 hours for that mediocre vehicle they have their mind on( certainly not infernus and stuff, things like admiral) balance everything, never be greedy with donations.
