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!
+1 on option 3, Dani isn't even getting an average of 200hr playtime per month, which shows how mike fucked up real bad
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$.
Admen
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
Staff could atleast use the script features
