Things that need changing.

[Robbie Jay]

Well, i see SZR is doing worse than ever at this moment, as much as this is caused by the spring and fun time outside it is also caused by some changes that have been brought on the server to try and reduce poopsock.
While you're trying to reduce the amount of poopsocking you are making people leave or lose interest in playing.

The penalty for going afk is ridiculous. People get bored while ingame every now and than and decide to check the forums or their facebook or whatever, so they used to go to a safe spot, tab out, check them and come back in to see if anything interesting occured. Now they would rather log out, and once they log out, people always find something else to do. And so the population goes down...
Poopsockers that went afk and waited for their paychecks also helped quite alot, they helped with numbers, the more the players online the more the urge to go online yourself.

Second would be that nasty flocker. While really helpfull for families nowadays, it does nothing but to increase the poopsockery (since people have a huge storage for the mats). It also makes wars uninteresting and endless, having a huge amount of supplies that you can always get back when your enemies are offline. I remember wars where people had to use diversions to keep some of their enemies away from the ones running mats, and wars where a family had to have members cooperating and contribuing with materials from their own lockers for the war.

Third, the posibility to store an infinite amount of money in your bank. It's always been like this but it has if it would be limited to let's sy 10 milions or the amount for the most expensive thing on SZR, it might force people to spend a little money instead of stacking it. I don't know if people raeched over 10 mil in their bank but they can, and some poopsockers wont stop until they will.

EDIT: This one is directed to the players (mostly the ones that knowmost of SZR's history), we need to start mobilizing and trying to get some good gangs going, stop joining vagos and ballas and start atleast a gang or two with decent players. I'll be playing again so if you want my help i'll be available.

Hope i made my points clear and i hope you'll take them into consideration, it might bring an improvement, even if it is a slight one.

Good job Robbie

TL:DR poopsocking gives us stuff to do, without stuff to do we log off.

The new weed system is a good example of encouraging players to log off instead of keeping them busy. Plant weed for 15 minutes, log off for 18 hours.

[Freddo_Brazzi]

I support this

[Hippo Congruency]

I like this

Anyway, the thing that really sucks at the moment is some gangs having flockers and most don't, it gives an unfair advantage.. Well I might be wrong but I have seen like two or three flockers around.

yes. Also the old weed planting system and the crack factory were great, even if it only took like 20 minutes for the pot to grow you had to guard it because people knew where to search.

If you don't use a car for so long it expires and you can no longer use it until an admin respawns it for you.

I don't know where anybody thought that was a good idea, but people play this game to earn things. Sure, they might not play for a while and so a lot of vehicles end up not getting used; but I don't see why long time players should be punished just for taking a break.

Losing your vehicles is a nice kick to the face. Even if some NEW script were thought up that rocked the socks off any other, who would want to come back if they lost everything?

Ya that's why there's still over 3500 players playing on 163 samp servers daily, right? That's just a bullshit lame excuse, Willio.

[Rachael]

all of these things were added for a reason, in fact most of them were added to directly combat exploits.

This only happens when I do it with SQL. I did it because there were over 1500 vehicles that had been purchased and never used again.

god i love it when people say shit like this


look at some of the more "official" servers; they hit their server cap of 500 daily.

you're right, everyone's bored of samp

Maybe there should be a way to buy back your expired vehicles in game without having to request an admin to do so? Lots of people take long breaks from szr/samp and come back to find their shit gone and then they leave for good.
