I've been thinking on it, and I have found the cause of HL2RP's minge problem. The non-serious/lite game modes like HRP, and OCRP has allowed little kids (namely) To join HL2RP, Google the answers to the questions, get their mommy's credit card, buy donator, then spam their v flag rights. This, must stop. We must get more, quality players. Therefore, more serious servers. Not only will it bring more players, it will give out current serious ones a way to branch out.
-
No rofl doesn't want more role-play servers because all role-play causes is community killing drama(Really guys the past three community's I've been in have been killed by Drama) He wants more none role-play servers.
-
What ever happened to TTT?
What about game-modes like stranded?

Added those.
-
If Rofl doesn't want more drama, than in my opinion we should get a relaxed game mode, like stranded, which causes little to no bitching/complaining. I mean, it's like Minecraft in Gmod, the only things that could go wrong is hackers.
-
Agree'd, the minge issue is just too much for us to handle, not even one normal admin is enough to handle 1-4 minges because they always find some exploit to get around the admin's trapping (e,g, putting on a roof,), and when you ban them, they'll be there the next day.
-
That is why we need game modes that have little to no combat or means to make combat, besides HL2RP, that is why I like Stranded, people can be easily dealth with there and it just has a calming effect on people.
-
Just so you know, we have a sandbox server, which is fully updated and ready to go, I just don't bother putting it on the status page because no one plays there.
-
Roleplay servers are not going to be added because of;
1. Drama as RoflWaffle says.
2. We can't afford more roleplay servers to split up our RP playerbase.
GMR, we tried once, it was fun for a bit but once you get your upgrades and your money the gamemode becomes boring and just ends up in the person driving around in circles. No one even joined the TTT server that much (I wasn't in the loop about this because I wasn't owner when this was up but I'm pretty sure it had to do with no one joining it). Trevor told us why SandBox isn't up.
Stranded hasn't been attempted here before and if it gets enough votes, I'll speak to Tomasas, RoflWaffle and the developers about it.
-
What no Spacebuild?
-
The reason we don't do more servers is because every time we tried nobody went on them and it sucked to fuck.
If you could find something new(say, a serious rp.) that people are intrested in, and could somehow shift all hl2rp'ers to said new rp(because splitting the community into 2 srs rp's is too much really), it would be okay. Though if you managed that with no drama, you'd deserve owner or something.
-
GMR was working very well until CG got OCRP then it just died, and Rofl said he is going to bring it back sometime.
And why is Fretta not on that list?
-
I think TTT would be a good idea.
It only needs ~8 players to be fun, so it wouldn't take a large playerbase.
-
I say SSTRP, little drama because it's all military, no white-list required. And it's highly popular, dragging in new players.
-
Adding more servers does nothing. Nobody will be playing on them anyways.
CG Deathrun? Nope.
GMPTR? Doesn't seem to grab players, yet. Who knows what the updates will bring.
GMR, Raiden said it pretty well already.
Nothing will really work out. RP is GMod now a days unless you started the community with something very unique, it wont work if you put it up after the playerbase is all from RP.
-
What no Spacebuild?
This :c
-
Stranded was probably my favorite gamemode after i was tired of trying to deal with 9 year olds on Dark RP and actually looked for other less generic game types serveral years ago. I dont even see any survival servers that are thriving anymore. If you got this going, i'm sure it would work great.
-
What no Spacebuild?
This :c
spacebuild is epic, but it requires a very stable server because it can easily lag the fuck out of the database
-
It has nothing to do with the database, it has everything to do with the models high poly count, and with who knows how many of these moving at once, a mediocre server cannot handle it.
-
We could probably do a spacebuild server, but it's up to you guys to play on it.

I would spend at least 5 hours minimum a week on it. More depending on how outlands is from day to day.

Can someone explain what SSTRP is?
-
Can someone explain what SSTRP is?
It's Star Ship Troopers Role Play, based off of the movies. I've played several servers with it on before, It's pretty fun.
-
I don't think waffle would launch an SSTRP server due to pretty much of them being attacked constantly.
-
attacks have never been and never will be a issue, I just don't want more RP drama
-
I really love to see GMR back.

The problem with GMR is the fact that once you are fully upgraded it gets pretty boring. I would love to see Stranded. I never really got into Spacebuild, but I guess I would be able to try it again.
-
Before I say much more, you guys might be interested in this:
We have some servers that aren't advertised on the status bar because they're just not used. For example, SandBox:
Offline
0/12
64.31.14.196:27017
gm_construct
Connect!
And, I guess, I'll put some work into setting up a spacebuild server, as I like those and haven't played on a decent one for years.
Regards to other suggestions, you can drop roleplay servers, we aren't doing them. Other fun gamemodes we may consider, that's not for me to decide.
-
So theoretically, going along with the original post, CG's problems will be resolved when the owners set up a Dark-RP server for the Serious RPers. At that point, children will stop using their mothers' credit cards to donate, thus resulting in less "v" flag abuse.
...
Yes...
...
Yes!!!

If you want an actual solution, you should focus on the playerbase, rather than what you offer it. If people are abusing their "v" flags; make sure they stop.
Starting new servers won't, unfortunately, call for more serious servers. In fact; it wouldn't change anything, except for the amount of players going around. You don't need numerous servers to get strong roleplayers; anyone is able to roleplay well, as long as they have been taught how to. So instead of complaining, find a new player, and teach him to be as pro as you are.
-
1. What is the 'v' flag?
2. Get rid of a server, Maybe that HalcoCE because it always says 0/16. Or Minecraft, it always says 0/20.
3. After you get rid of a server (or more), get a new one.
I think you should open up a DarkRP server to attract a lot of people, and then those people will want to play on serious servers (Teach them also), thus making the player base larger. I play on DarkRP time to time when I just want to go burn off some steam, so you would see me on there.

I'm annoyed at people saying this. It's almost like you guys think we're paying for each server. We can run 20 servers on the same box and pay no more and suffer no consequences. If it matters to you guys that much, I'll take them off the status bar but there's no reason to get rid of them.
-
How about Underdone gamemode?
It's RPG gamemode, third person where you have levels, inventory, monsters to fight, you gain experience, crafting and similar. It's really fun, a bit like Hack'n'Slash in third person view mode. It's also very easily customizable.
Here's a video:

Wonderful, the only person to suggest the one gamemode I have actually been working one for a while.....
-
Severance probably won't get selected, but the gamemode is quite good.
It's not like outlands where you run around and collecting guns. It's pretty fun,
you have waves of zombies and you have to survive. And it has this corporation of survivors, like the combine basically but they aren't hard asses That's much more fun then anything we have at the moment.
tl;dr good open aura gamemode, fun, shoot zombies
-
Oh yes underdone. Very funny gamemode, but once you reach level 80. BOOORRIINNNG.
The only reason why you want to level up after level 80 is because you are an elitist and want to brag about how good you are, being a higher level then other people.
I can remember where I made a custom chain-quest with very good gear for level 100 a long time ago when King was working on it on OC.
-
i remember using baconbot to aimbot the NPCs in underdone while sleeping and gaining like 40 levels

I REALLY DO NOT WANT MINECRAFT GONE! PLEASE! Me and my Best friend play most afternoons (GMT) and my two other firends will be joining (hopefully) this weekend!

1. HL2RP flag that allows you to buy contraband stuff
2. we can get 100 servers and it wouldnt make a diffrence from if we had 1
3. read 2, and no darkrp please it will kill the community
----------
Personally i'd like to see spacebuild or GMR, or that Jogzi suggested, i dont remember it by the name but i do remember a zombie survival kinda gamemode like he mentioned.
-
My final answers are spacebuild (with a stable server) and Stranded.
Easy to manage, and 0% chance of major drama/bitching.
And they are quite fun, IMO it is a win/win.

Don't worry, that server will never be gone as it's not a Catalyst Gaming server. It's been running since 2009 and that's not likely to change.
-
I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned TTD, which was introduced last summer - I hope TOMASAS will try to devolp it further - I remember the first public test of it - It was really great, probably one of the best moments I've experienced in CG's history :-*

I've made quest support, monsters, and items that will keep you playing to at least level 2000.

I played UnderDone once, probably on a glitched server. Seemed fun and new, but I think it gets really really boring after a while.
-
I honestly can't remember the last time I played stranded, are any servers still up for it? Because I haven't seen any.
-
I'm pretty sure that every Stranded server is dead. Anyway, I looked at the Phase 4 gametype. It looks like its a lot of fun.

I remember the custom-ish jokerice server with UD, it was really good. I would enjoy playing UD again, as its really good.
-
Hmm if you have multiple servers available you could host 2-3 UD servers (would be hard to fill) where as you progress you move on to one of the other servers which would have a new map that has harder enemies/quests. Might keep it interesting for players who are getting pass level 80 :P

Hi, I just wanted to throw my input in....NOT SSTRP. J-just don't do it....This normally proves to attract many children and there are already tons of SSTRP servers so even if -didnt- attract children theres always the chance barely anyone stops by. Theres already two large communities that are -primarily- SSTRP related, that's Live in Fear and Espilon-Community, and they've been doing this for well over three years.
