Roleplay dead?
#1

Do you remember the days when you could actually Roleplay without the stupid shit that goes on nowadays? Do you remember actually being afraid of the police and getting pulled over? Do you remember servers being unique and all different and going in different directions so that it was easy to decide where you wanted to go? And finally, do you remember how, with time, children became the admins, everything turned pay-to-win, and every one of these money-hungry children used the same god damn scripted which was released on SA-MP forums?

Now, I see what goes on and I ask myself..."What the f***ing f*** happened?"

Name me ONE god damn server that does NOT fit this criteria:
-Child Admins -> Immature/Don't give a shit/Improper grammar/Cannot assist/Lazy
-Same Script just Edited on every server
-More money you pay, more you win. There is never a balance. It's always, ->PAY TO WIN
-REFUNDING!! COME AND WE GIVE YOU 2832830918392083 cash and a BLOWJOB and VIP! Then what is the point of playing god damn it if you give me everything!?
-NO UNIQUENESS -> We're tired of this f***ing LS and LV/SF is just a fail. Make a map you bums and let us Roleplay somewhere. Prison RP = was a SUCCESS / Red County RP = was a SUCCESS / Project Apocalypse = was a SUCCESS... DO YOU KNOW WHY? Because they were UNIQUE at the time you bums!
-AT LEAST A 30 PLAYER AVG. If you make a server and it's a great server, you have to know how to sell yourself. Advertise properly and set everything up. Don't be a lazy hobo. Invite friends, use any means, but get those starting players and you're off. Just make sure you're unique.
-LIGHTRP/MEDRP -> EXCUSE TO RIDE AROUND WITH BUDDIES AND Drive-BY DM every person you f***ing see. Cut this bullshit!

You want a list of servers I been on where these points apply?
-Lawless RP = Buddies invited me to come since Barney (the owner) played on US-RP before where I played and we were friends. When he made his own server, a lot of people from US-RP went over there. Including my family, the Aryan Brotherhood. They all went over there so after I came back to SA-MP from a break, I came to Lawless RP. Aryan Brotherhood from US-RP has always been known as a Heavy Roleplay faction which they STILL CLAIM TO BE. Unfortunately, Lawless RP is a "light RP" therefore even AB nowadays which used to be known for Heavy RP is now DMing random players/families/police to show "their power". Also, Russians are using FBI skins and running around yelling "FBI" and killing random players with colored nametags (which represents other gangs). THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME. This server is called Lawless RP for a reason, there is no laws, it's a god damn DM fest with no RP involved at all. Great going Barney.
-US-RP = Ain't what it used to be back in the day and now most of the Roleplay is gone. Every server is moving towards the LightRP-MedRP zone and that's why they're losing players. US-RP just doesn't enforce the rules enough and doesn't put good players in charge of factions. Who would've thought that Chiefs/Leaders/Directors would not have proper English grammar? :O also, they lost their player count which was one of the main reasons for being there. THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.
-Red County Roleplay - Alec you are an f***ing Genius and did something that wasn't done before. Your script is amazing and you deserve a nobel prize. Unfortunately, you are not so good with hiring admins and having other people help you run the server. I truly believe if only Alec ran RedCountyRP and went no-life or found a way to multiply himself 10x, it would be the best server that SA-MP has ever seen. Unfortunately, your admin team and their stuck-up behavior just ruins it and everyone's leaving. You too are losing players and therefore losing more players.
-Maximum Roleplay - You are some new youngins who are just handing out all the shit you possibly can to players with your starter packages and your BJ's and your VIPs and your cash. Nobody needs your god damn cash, we need the ROLEPLAY. Also, there is just such a general low level of Roleplay here that it's sad to look at. THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.
-San Andreas Roleplay - Same shit as US-RP, NG-RP, SA-RP always was. The same server x3. SARP used to have a lot of Roleplay going on with the Police and all but with time the players left, admins changed, and it just isn't what it used to be. Oh, and did I mention? It's the SAME GOD DAMN SHIT LIKE ALL THE OTHER SERVERS.
-Horizon Roleplay - I remember when this server first started and it took place in Bone County and it was Heavy RP and it gained popularity and everyone loved it and it was so much fun and I even played there and had a great experience. Look at this shit now. I joined the server and in 2 days received R5 of the Archangels MC which is like their #1 family on the server. After talking with their leaders, I realized they can't RP and their forums are full of forum complaints against every god damn player/faction/family on the server. This should be renamed to Forum Complaint Roleplay (Horizon Edition). THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.
-VG:RP - Respect. Still a lot of Roleplay going on and admins still enforcing it but not as much as it used to be. Needs to be more strict and find ways to bring back the players. VG:RP works when there is a higher player count. This server IS in Los Santos but it's one of very old servers that can ROCK Los Santos especially with their UNIQUE way of generating Roleplay at Unity Station so players can have a general area to meet each other.
-InterGaming Roleplay - When this community first came out it was known as HBG LS-RP and it was a great ROleplay experience with many roleplaying families. Families on this server were something else. It was just amazing. Then for whatever reason Kreyg just shut down the server or some shit happened and it was gone. Now it's back as InterGaming Roleplay and all the player accounts/maps are still there. Sadly, the players are not there as they used to be. It sucks Roleplaying with 45 people when 15 are Police, 10 are AFK, 10 are in Families who are shooting each other over the most stupid shit, and 10 are driving around with no knowledge how to Roleplay. THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.
-Established Society Roleplay - THis is actually one server that I see making an attempt to bring back Heavy Roleplay but they don't have the player base and a RP server without players is not a server therefore I'm very sorry for the owner but his effort was made unsuccessfully. Still, I do recommend switching your map from LS and finding a unique, nice, place and mapping it. Who knows, make your Established Island Roleplay or fence off an area of Los Santos and RP a contamination of the world and that being a safe zone where people have to /scrapmetal or something for cans which can be filled with water to survive and knives and only using those broken ass cars so not everyone in a god damn contamination zone is driving an infernus.
-Project Los Angeles - They advertise their server on a bunch of websites and try any means to get players but the truth is... some areas of their script it says, "Los Santos" some it says "Los Angeles" and they're failing at being unique. Also, there is like ZERO help for starter players and nobody to help figure anything out. I shit you not, I used /helpme because /newb was dead and silent and instead of showing me where to find the job I wanted, a helper handed me 100k and said, "Enjoy your stay at Los Angeles Roleplay, have a nice daya;" are you serious? On a server with 133 players at this moment, this shit happens? Honestly, and it is just so hard to find a job or to work or to start off. There is literally nothing to do except wait and collect paychecks until you can afford a 30k toolkit which says it's only 20k in the stores but really costs 30k. Oh, and did I mention? THIS IS ALSO IN LOS SANTOS. SAME EXACT SHIT, ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME.

and many more which I won't even name because it's the same shit over and over and over and over again.

Now please, make a difference. Go and make SA-MP Unique again with strict admins and rule-abiding players where United States Dollars in real life don't have anything to do with the United States Dollars in our character's wallet. Be creative, think of something, script your own shit, stop copying the same gamemode and replacing the name (and not even in all the places of the script. I've seen a lot of fails on servers with this where in some places if you use /info it says, "NG-RP" and shit)

see? Was that so hard? No, it wasn't. Thank you.

Welcome to SA:MP. Get used it nowadays samp is filled with bunch of script kiddies and kids.

I totally agree with you. Sometimes when I'm bored I'm trying to find a nice Roleplay server to play in, but I always end up on a server being asked to be admin, or I'm teleported all the time - well, I don't need to go on, you know what I mean. Even though this sucks, Kitten is right, there's nothing to do about it. As long as immature people without experience on how to run a community, running a downloaded script are out there choosing to waste the time of other people and wasting the space on the SA-MP masterlist, this will stay the same. This said, if someone with experience on running a community would start a Roleplay server, with a unique *COMPLETE script, it could be a big succes.

*: with complete I mean that it's 100% done before it's put online. I've seen some servers with unique scripts which only had the user account system working, and a few factions. That's not how it's done ofcourse.

Now, I see what goes on and I ask myself..."What the f***ing f*** happened?"
*Removed epic list of rage
If you don't like them don't play on them. Find another server or make your own instead of raging on the samp forums about it.

Code:
-Child Admins -> Immature/Don't give a shit/Improper grammar/Cannot assist/Lazy
-Same Script just Edited on every server
-More money you pay, more you win. There is never a balance. It's always, ->PAY TO WIN
-REFUNDING!! COME AND WE GIVE YOU 2832830918392083 cash and a BLOWJOB and VIP! Then what is the point of playing god damn it if you give me everything!?
-NO UNIQUENESS -> We're tired of this f***ing LS and LV/SF is just a fail. Make a map you bums and let us Roleplay somewhere. Prison RP = was a SUCCESS / Red County RP = was a SUCCESS / Project Apocalypse = was a SUCCESS... DO YOU KNOW WHY? Because they were UNIQUE at the time you bums!
-AT LEAST A 30 PLAYER AVG. If you make a server and it's a great server, you have to know how to sell yourself. Advertise properly and set everything up. Don't be a lazy hobo. Invite friends, use any means, but get those starting players and you're off. Just make sure you're unique.
-LIGHTRP/MEDRP -> EXCUSE TO RIDE AROUND WITH BUDDIES AND Drive-BY DM every person you f***ing see. Cut this bullshit!
Its their server they can run it however they want to. Maybe you should stop being such a "Lazy hobo" and go make a roleplay yourself and get 30 players on it.

What he said is just the truth and something we see daily on those now-days Roleplay servers. The guy raging here is you, and not him. He's just saying a fact of our community.

OT: Good job. This may inspire those kids of now-days that host a stolen Role-play script to make something unique. You deserve reputation. Good job.

It isn't going to stop, no, that's a fact, but like Private200 said, maybe some people maybe begin to realize that it's pointless to run edits and waste other's and their own time.

Not everyone wants to run a public server, some just want to play on one..

I agree running edits as a public server is stupid but its a good place to learn how to program.
if someone wants to run an edit i don't really see the issue, if people don't want others running edited servers maybe they should stop releasing gamemode's to begin with.

I personally wouldn't run an edit or even play on one but i don't really feel the need to make an entire topic about it.
people can make up their own mind on what they want I'm just giving my opinion.

Well, you're right, however, i think LS-RP is what you would like to join.

Agreed. Haven't been in few servers you've listed, but from what I've heard they are nowhere better than the crappy NG edits. Currently very satisfied in the server I am playing right now.

He's not saying all servers are bad.. Maybe 5% of all Roleplay servers existing are actually written from scratch, and lead by someone who knows what he does.

I got to agree, most of the servers are plain copies and not unique or good at all. The only good servers these days are the ones that are scripted from scratch and provide good features which no one else uses.

Maybe US-RP Would decent if hitler's son wasn't owner.

Wheres the roleplay? perks? special days? special guns? when do you see a goddamned radioactive pistol that breaks tazers?!?!?!?!??

I agree with the first post on most points. But what I think is that people have stopped looking for uniqueness and have started to look for servers with players - which means those gf edits or whatever that have a lot of light roleplay players will gain members easier, which makes it harder for scratched-script-servers to actually become popular in population.

Roleplay died out a long time ago.

- Community owners aren't even being professional, strict or serious about their community. Their friends join the server and they instantly get an owner rank, it fucking makes me sick.

- And the fact that EVERY FUCKING SERVER uses the NG-RP script and they offer refunds to players so they can stay on the server. Everybody is getting tired of this script, stop using it...

- And let's not forget joining a server and the automated messages (or the server owners) telling you to "PLZ DONATE TO OUR SERVER". If you can't afford to run a fucking server, don't host one. Simple as that.

- Don't forget the admins that troll players. I joined a server once and had my HP set to 0, had my skin set to a clown, an admin teleporting to me, killing me with a minigun, and the fucking list goes on. And in the tutorial it said "this is a professional community with a great admin team". HAH.

- 99% of roleplay servers are not even "unique", it's just the same overused shit. A unique roleplay server would have stock markets and a structured economy. Paying $10,000 for a phonebook and $500 for a phone is not realistic, or paying $1,000,000 for a station wagon.
