Good luck trying to change this server in a community where 95% of people don't even know what the fuck is going on, and keep playing like nothing is going on.
Honestly, I think it's best that Mike shuts this server down. I'm pretty sure he's losing money off of server hosting. (especially when the player count is so low to the point where you have to ask yourself: why even bother?)
>gets no unban for months until Christmas pardon, immediately posts straight facts. Fucking terrific, Ralsei! Hats off to you.
Here's 101 how to run a server (from co-owning gmod server for a year): 1. play it at least few times a week to keep yourself in touch with playerbase 2. profit
Mike is (and was for last 2 years) focused on minor additions which are not beneficial to playerbase which was used to run&gun type of gamemode. Original idea of rob-run-shoot was working back in the day. If it was expanded properly both in scale and quality, it would have been still enjoyable. But instead we had a lot of complex addons like side missions, activities which targetted around 20% of previous playerbase. If people wanted roleplay stuff, they would have asked for second server or simply more roleplay-based server. Instead Mike slapped that idea onto existing CnR.
Add lazy and not-caring people in charge to it and here we are, 15 players on average. Should I remind you of when people considered constistent 40 players daily a low number...?
tl;dr major fuck up. Fixing, as in general way, is too late.
Actually Mike needs to hire more developers I believe to atleast increase the time rate of delivering features (not small features just like Ralsei suggested)
Also it's good time to remove some toxicity as well as we have many members that keep spamming forums and making dramas, it's time to bring more positive efforts to the community.
it’s tough to keep things going. Mike is doing his best to run this server, and we shouldn’t just tell him to shut it down. 🙄

Apparently this is wat you notice after returning and playing for a few days. Great explanation, stating the (to my own view) obvious but very well set up point by point.
I do however not agree with the shutting down part, there still remains the 'join if you want, stay away if you please' principle.
There for I think +1, without the shutting down part. +1 for fucking this fucking fuck of a fucking cops VS robbers instead of Cops and Robbers principle.
Also huge gigantic +1 for expanding the property market by either adding more properties or making the existing ones change owners from time to time. Prop market is as dead as a tree legged horse, it needs revival. There's NOTHING to do with money you make, meaning you dont make money, meaning you dont truck, plant weed, rob banks etc. etc. All together, we can conclude the CNR principle needs a booster, senseless cops VS robbers needs a little cutting, returning/new players could indeed use carepackages and a start of level 50 (huge suggestion), so then we can relax and play with more people, making sure there remains variety.
I do think everyone has different suggestions as to how to increase playercount, increase fun on the server etc. But we will need to make sort of a collective plan with the main requests. Lets keep this one running, @staff!
I basically agree with most of it. Weapon skill is kinda useless. Was it made just to keep hackers from playing on new accounts? If so, it was a good strategy, but everyone is unbanned now so not really the need for it.
Free veh at lvl 0 would be really good since you get into the server, you steal a car because walking sucks and you get arrested directly which is a little shitty for a new player. I would also give new players some kind of immunity or lower arrest time.
Also, for old players, implement increment bribe directly at PD npc or something. Lets say you got 100k and you want to give it to the npc pc to let you out at min 2/3 just allow people to do that, it's kinda cringe to have to wait 3min and do nothing. It's ok since it's a cnr server but doing that will make players spend money and balance the economy.
*edit* I do not agree with the shutting down part, I mean mcnr is still kinda fun and I joined and played for like 2h and had fun. Depends if players are online or not and if Mike has the financial stability to keep it up, I would not shut it down. Plus idk how much a samp host costs, I saw offers from 5$.
Another reason is the stupid events staff hosts. Whenever they host a event its either dodge the combine, dm events,dts, derby or hide n seek. No one hosts events like PTP anymore.
The only good event held this year was the samp geoguussr event by mike
