How to make my roleplay server popular
#1

Hey SAMPians,
I have a question in my mind that how can I make my roleplay server popular,
I have the following things;
  • 40 slot server hosted from Volt-Host
  • Highly edited Godfather script
  • A website including forums ( Wordpress and edited Mybb )
  • Active Administrator Team
How can I make my server popular? I have seen that players don't roleplay much there.

Please don't troll here. :P

Is that even possible?

OT:
- A scripted gamemode from scratch
- Not only an active administration team but also, helpful, and are professional in regards to handling this cheaters/hackers (Usually this team cannot be obtained by some application, you need to really see how they interact and how well they help players and such)
- A .com/.net domain if possible
- A hosted tab if you have the urge to do so, then go

Get a proper admin team.
Create your own GM from scratch.
Isn't this just more of a "hey I'm a poor boy in need of players" topic?

This is utter bullshit. Not like it doesn't matter, hey it does, but just that doesn't get you players.

Look, I've ran a large RP community in 2007, using just the method 'unique script and good admins'.
If you tell me my previous post is bullshit, explain how it got me over 10k registered players?

2007 was 5 years ago, Lots have changed since then, It was close to when SA-MP came out, there weren't 3000+ RolePlay servers back then. So that's how it did it.

The only successful custom roleplay is Continental Roleplay, and don't even get his hopes up for a successful community by making a custom rp... The rest are somewhat compulsory to success (imho) anyway.

___

1. What I would personally do is advertise on other SA-MP communities, do not depend your server to live from the SA-MP forum, because SA-MP forum advertisements will not make your server populate.

2. Invest on hosted tab - You can visit some SA-MP markets to see if there's dealers.

3. A nice, and fast website (preferably adless, and not using a free domain provider such as .tk, .co.cr, etc...)
(i) Add forums of course...
(ii) Use some cool templates (I personally like templates using *******'s bootstrap kit)

4. As you're using a godfather script, add something cool to it and have it be unique and fun to manipulate. Such as some trucking system which indeed implements realism to the server.
E.G: Attaching logs to your back and transporting them to the truck's storage. (Attach a object to a player, don't make it invisible logs!)
After you've transported them to the trucks storage, attach that object that was on the player to the storage, etc. (Hard to explain)

5. Give regular updates, don't leave your members on a server that is updated monthly...

6. Don't be a tight ass to your members, even if they piss the living fuck out of you. Even if they say that the server is shit, try get feedback from them to see how you can improve.

If you don't own a popular server, why should you concern this guy about his server?

Place your SAMP server into hosted tab. It will help you in activitiy of your server.
