Another main issue is that, whenever someone creates a roleplay community, they build a concept that is extremely clichй. The development team is not at fault, it is the community founders who still choose to create a server when it is already known and proven that it is a waste of time. The effort to build their respective foundations just because "they want to have their own community". Like, what is the point when it is only leading to the outcome of having clichй concepts? Such concept is what bores players who would prefer to join established servers that have more players. However, there was a rare phenomenon of newly-established roleplay servers actually being successful for a while, particularly Bay Area Roleplay and New Generation Gaming. The fact that both communities consist of known personalities that came from their previous server contributed to its eventual trend. There has to be a reason why roleplay communities still prefer SA-MP versus MTA:SA, wherein, despite an innovative client that offers almost unlimited possibilities specifically wanted in a roleplay server, there is currently only one roleplay server that continues to thrive for the last five years. The domination of the roleplay community here has become uncontrollable to the point where those with a unique setting are stuck to the ground. The only server that seems to be thriving with such concept is "Vampires, Werewolves And Humans Roleplay". If not the clichй concept, there are brand new servers with unique assets that deserved to have a stable playerbase, particularly Project Roleplay. Underground Roleplay, a game-changing roleplay server that brings Liberty City and Vice City to multiplayer, is also being established, though it is exclusive to a separate SA-MP-based multiplayer client that uses a different set of core files. Don't get me wrong. I get bored of SA-MP and roleplay, too. But this is how I have seen the SA-MP roleplay community since I got here. The drama, memes, snaking out, toxicity, and almost everything.

Everything you said is actually valid. There's no such thing as a perfect community. Even if you manage to create one, it'll turn out to be boring and bland.
