Before I'll state my speech I'd like to note that this has nothing to do with SA-MP Internet page is down, althought It Injured MCNR's future by a big chunk.
This Is all based on my standpoint, on what I value in gameplay, and how my experience.
I have noticed that the server got so stale everyone is leaving, except the people who are obsessed with server in unhealthy way (Hello haw!). There's nothing to do in server anymore, the problem has been increasing since mid 2022 and now It's starting to show It's effect which impacts overall gameplay quality in a HUGE way. There's no new players meaning the server feels like a ghost town for most of the week (20-30 players 2/4 of the day, goes up to 35+ for a small period, then It's insanely down due to the fact It's night and game Isn't popular among both Americas. I know If you read this Mike you I'll say we should do missions and other stuff, but you know. Not everyone is interested in doing same thing over and over again If It doesn't give you dopamine (DM is about competition for example, and making money Isn't It anymore). It's starting to decay from every side, economy (You don't need more than 200k at this point because there's nothing you can do with it except buy a house and visit it so you won't lose It). I agree there are some fun, calming missions like trucking, but who Is gonna do that for most of their MCNR career, let's be real, staff Is playing the game less often, I doubt they'd want to forcefully stay and moderate a 20 player server without anything going on. Nowadays the most common activity among people is camping near PD and killing cops? WOW SO FUN! Not everyone wants to do objectives, achievments and etc, It's just a small gimmick for people who want to get the grip on the game (Later on It just becomes a skippable thing). I know you have head full of Ideas but half of your ideas aren't even appreciated by players, and torn down. I think you should bring the community together and think out a strategy which will benefit everyone.
My final words on that - Server is unwelcoming for new players, gameplay is extremely stale, people are leaving due to It, GTA 6 is releasing (Gonna keep MCNR players away), gameplay is heavily unbalanced (I get It's hard to balance shitty samp combat, I don't blame you but take notes from us). I let anyone express their thoughts, maybe you feel the same or you completely disagree? I'd like to hear your opinion as I did simmilar post some time ago and It looked like It brought some attenion from Mike and encouraged him to get in touch with community but now we are close to hitting rock bottom so we need to stay strong and prevent it together. I tried to make it as neutral, skipping my shitty punishment history and not focusing on it at all (or staff)
Anyways this shit as like 500 words and I wrote it in like 10 minutes, read books to be just like me.
