What the fuck has he—or any of you fine people, for that matter—actually done within the last year to actually help the server get back on its feet?
Have you volunteered to test shit out?
Or, better yet, contributed code we can implement?
...right, all you've contributed is dozens upon dozens of whining posts thinly veiled as "creatively cynical copypastas" on the forum & shit-slinging in Discord. Instead of just calling it quits due to your own personal disappointment or any other negative feelings towards Mike or the server, you choose to undermine whatever motivation he and his remaining team—myself included—have. It's become a self-fulfilling prophecy long ago.
A gamemode the size and scope of MCNR requires a team of dedicated devs and staff to maintain. Mike has been doing this for 6 years already—mostly on his own, with some input from fellow devs and some of us in the testing team of course. Burnout is real, especially for things that don't even bring you profit. (You can go ahead and speculate about donations, but let's get real: those are not a stable source of income and will likely not even cover all the expenses hosting a server this large entails.) What exactly are you trying to achieve by actively exacerbating it?
Hell, if you think your clique can do better with opening/maintaining a CnR server in 2025, go ahead and make your own. That'd at least be something productive. Go ahead and compete. This is a challenge.
(...who am I kidding? Everything about that would go against the destructive, consoomerist mindset you've been showcasing here for months upon months.)
I could respect s1mple's input when he was part of the team. Hell, he was one of the first higher-ups, if not the first, to originally reach out to me to join the team back in '23. To this day, I want to be able to keep this level of respect. However, the gibberish he puts out now on the daily basis s1mply can not be respected.
I don't know what the fuck happened to you guys, but no matter your former deeds or status, you're being a disgrace to this community.
Learn. Some fucking. Dignity.
Please.
People not wanting to be testers/contribute code
Few reasons
Toxic staff driving away ppl from joining staff team even as a helper/tester
Not everyone aspires to be a tester in general
It's 2025, people won't learn PAWN to save a server/contribute to which is on It's last breath, especially with such lackluster Player - Owner/Dev communication
Also other causes responsible ofr the state of the game.
Mike strictly sticking to the RP elements despite majority of people not wanting them (I'm not saying they're useless but you can clearly see who plays MCNR for the most part nowadays, people who fight eachother/cops) Long promised updates like Crew system had people in hopes but It all went somewhere else, another reason why ppl laugh at mike for adding campfire and stuff. He's simply out of touch and NOT communicating with the playerbase, x4x said the update is gonna be worth waiting but we have 1-10 players active and unknown state of It.
Ignoring suggestions which ppl want because he does not like them, I understand It's his game but he should take some stuff into consideration instead of being like NAAAAH DENY, recent approved suggestions are a filler which 99% of ppl won't do.
It's primarly a communication problem people have no reason to play the game If they think they're just gonna get another patch fixing 1 or 2 things after 3 months of waiting, lackluster recycled events. If mike can't actually dedicate time to the server and is questioning It's existance then he should tell us instead of acting like nothing happens, well nothing happens because he does NOTHING to fix that state. 1 mass unban? Fuck it same people evaded bans or will get rebanned 1 week later.
As ironic our "Me and several other players" quotes are they have actually big meaning. People don't take this server and It's state seriously cause they're aware that any effort to communicate/suggest something worthy will be met with denial or ignoring.
This is a gaming community, not the waiting game community.
