So I have an RP server, few cool features, but nothing special, nothing totally unique, and it's fairly similar to servers like HZRP, RCRP, SARP, and NGRP.
Now I know a lot of you are going to say "Make something unique, do something different". That's all well and good, and I am trying to add new features that are unique and interesting, and more things will be added over time.
My only question to you guys (And the only one I need answering today), is what area shall I base my server in?
Now, most RP servers, like the ones mentioned above are all based in Los Santos. Now, while I have some cool mapping to make parts of the city look different, it's still Los Santos.
I have a very very nice Fort Carson map that gives it a completely new look, with more houses, and more buildings to work with, but the town is very small. There is the possibility to expand to Las Venturas if the playerbase ever grew beyond Fort Carson, but I dunno. I even considered San Fierro, and it has been suggested to me to use San Fierro, and I did start out in San Fierro. However, the issue with San Fierro is that it has a few good spots, and the rest is just residential housing. It's a huge city, and only 25% of it in RP servers ever gets used. However, it does possess the same qualities of Los Santos in terms of stores, police and fire stations and a selection of buildings that can be used for things such as banks, court houses, and gang HQs.
Las Venturas is a very nice city, but it's huge, and most things are very far apart. Not ideal for a small player base.
However, enough of my thoughts, what about yours?
