Nobody has experience in a lot of things until they finally try it and get good at it. Thus is the story of a lot of our good RPers today.
Quote Nobody has experience in a lot of things until they finally try it and get good at it. Thus is the story of a lot of our good RPers today.not to say specific names but i can already say a handful of names that are administrators and players alike that i can see fully capable of having ex-military badass characters and other silly things like that
>No matter what happens, no matter how old I get.>I'll never forget...>Fats Mcgee. And his Retard Three.
i can't even remember if they had authorisations, did they? i was around in the beta stage and stopped playing a bit after special infected were introduced
but sexy frog i am scared what if it is a horrible monstrosity that has to be put down and hl2rp can never be recovered
And the map, me and Oz are still going to be doing rp_forgottencity which I think would be perfect for this RP.

Having looked through this, I'd love this kind of server. (As y'all would've guessed) It would add the sence of danger at every single corner you would or can turn, it'd be intense at moments. Like the Outlands just with...Zombies! The character development would be amazing since it's a zombie apocolypse. Well, from gameplay I have seen. Hmm. Unless the higher power want to remain with ERP strictly. I myself don't go with fast running zombies and if there is a way to make fast running ones slightly rarer and harder to find and just slow, dumb ones walking around but still a chance with finding fast ones. If anyone has played No More Room In Hell kind of like that or maybe the Day Z kind? But if there is ANYWAY to make slow zombies into the gamemode, i'm up for it. Just give me a crossbow and i'm all with ya'. In all seriousness. I'd LOVE this server if the higher power would allow it. +Support on my end.
Pros/ConsApoc-Roleplay Pros:Chance for population flow to come in, and maybe even get dedicated players.A fresh new roleplay expierence for bored RP'rs on other servers and CGApoc-Roleplay is very rich with dramatic/emotion RP, battle RP, med RP etc. It can't be boring if we have good RP'rs and good first looksWith the Walking Dead, and other zombie related things always going around, insperation and tips are always around.I'm sure we have a good amount of users who can post guides, how-to's, and so on with the new RP.Final Summation: There is a lot of potential in a new direction of a new Serious Roleplay serverApoc-Roleplay Cons:We already have a serious roleplay server, and these kinds of servers cost dedication to characters and work. It'll be a little to hard to balance both out, and admins can't constantly jump from one server to another to fix this or that, so other admins would need to be implemented, or just entirely dedicated people. Launching this from the ground up won't be easy, administration should catiously piece out the first outlook on the server for an intro so it doesn't look bad and crash-and-burn faster. Guides, tips, and factions and all sorts of things will need to be there before some stuff happens to boost orginization so it's not a jumble of mess.It interferes with HL2RPFinal Summation: If this does go up, it'll cost dedication and work, just like HL2RP needs. No sitting on the fence between Hl2RP and ApocRPNow the main problem will be between what to do with HL2Rp and ApocRP if we get that server up. It's not a bad idea to get a fresh new RP server out, since RP is very interesting for the right people. But it'd be too hard to jump from here to there, let's say. On the Apoc server, an event of a mass horde of zombies’ rolls into town, but on the other server, OTA need to be deployed. I'm a person with both important characters on both servers, I'd have to pick, and that’s the thing about not being able to sit on a fence. Of course, the odds of that actually happening is thin, but it's just an example. The other thing I'm worried about is that what if people don't like ApocRP, and decide to stay on HL2RP leaving the population like this (Hl2RP:7 People on ApocRP: 20 people on) and it could just gradually shift and change to dying on one server, and pumping up the other. Of course, ApocRP will flourish the couple of days, just like how Hl2RP was when the Gmod13 break was over, but it gradually went down. But that doesn't mean people will just quit CG or both servers, they'll either settle for one, not like one and head to the other, or ApocRp will die, and Hl2RP will go back to how it is. Worst Case Scenario for ApocRP: ApocRP flourishes then dies, people go back to HL2RPWorst Case Scenario for HL2RP: HL2RP dies, people like ApocRP better. (And even if ApocRP died at some point, with HL2RP already gone, CG could just abandon ApocRP and make HL2RP again.)Best Case Scenario for ApocRP: ApocRP flourishes, and sustains for an adequate amount of timeBest Case Scenario for HL2RP: People decide ApocRp sucks, and the project fails, so people come back and make Hl2RP like it was in the first place.Worst Case Scenario: Both servers dieBest Case Scenario: Because of the seldom amount of servers for ApocRP, new users will come on ApocRP and stay, balancing that server. Whilst HL2RP has its own amount of dedicated players and they flourish as well, and who knows, new users on ApocRP might give HL2RP a shot and like it better. It's all a personal preference. (Of course, this is just how I see it.)Where I would stand on this would be, I'm pretty sure a majority of people would do this as well. Hop on for about a week or two, see if I like it, stay or go depending on RP and how organized it is, but then eventually leave back to HL2RP since I have a better bond with the characters there. That wouldn't stop me from visiting time-to-time to forward those characters, and who knows I might like the RP so much I'll favor those characters more than HL2RP. So, I can lean towards the potential of a new server and new RP, but HL2RP will never just be able to be gone from me.This can go one way or another, but no matter what one thing will be just water under the bridge like everything else.
