(epic canadian "lads" right there eh?)And as stated in the earlier discussion by me, it's the exact same thing as Half Life 2 RP except with with different characters. Exact same concept, exact same struggle, exact same kind of RP.
Terminator RP, that seems like a great ide-No. How about we do something original, something someone else doesn't have.
The only problem I myself see is the story is getting boring and repetative. Keep the style of RP, keep the mechanics, change the story to let people try on a new shirt if you know what I mean.
-Epidemic RP: While I personally love this suggestion a lot, and would enjoy it even more so, it doesn't really stray to far from that idea of a post-apocalyptic roleplay. Sure, the roleplay you'd participate in would be different from that of HL2RP, but the theme behind it wouldn't. Characters would develop with the same problems and struggles of those who faced the rule and suffering delivered from the Union's hand. The main difference would be that instead of fleeing from Overwatch and beating back hordes of antlions, you're running from the local crazed lunatics and opening fire upon hordes of infected humans. I'm not saying this idea is bad at all, in fact, I think it'd be an okay server to add. It does differ enough from HL2RP to have success, and I believe I'm safe in saying that a serious ZombieRP server would attract more players than a TerminatorRP server (pleasedonthurtmeTRPloversokaythankyou).-SpaceRP: Now, this one I think could go a lot of different ways. SpaceRP can be interpreted differently, depending on the enviornment, planet, conditions, other lifeforms, stage in space exploration, etc. A server of this nature would give a lot of room for development. You could choose to have the time period as such that humanity has highly advanced technology, featuring advanced stellar warships, futuristic technology, and the like. Or, you could have them as some of the first space pioneers, potentially 50 years into the future. Likewise to this diversity, the settlers could have built on a rocky, barren planet, with no other life forms whatsoever, Or, they could be faced with the same struggles as Columbus and his men within the depths of a jungle planet, fighting off the native alien populace. I'm not going to go to much more in depth, but you can imagine how far you could go with a Sci-Fi roleplay server, one where humanity's full creativity and resources aren't limited by powers such as the Union (IE: HL2RP). -FantasyRP: Deep down, everyone loves their fantasy. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, you know you like it. All the magic, crossing of blades in epic battles, and the beautiful elves all around, you can't get enough of it. But think about it, have you ever really thought about putting yourself in those shoes? Taking on the role of your own, individual character in the conflicted fantasy world? A magic wielding man, holding great power and conjuring the greatest of potions, or a great knight, combating the strongest of monsters in the depths of the local swamp. There's quite a bit you can do, and it does bring out the imagination of people, allowing them to present more ideas to the community for development of the server's story and progression. And quite honestly, fantasy is a pretty fun subject to be dealing with (at least from my point of view). Even if the fantasy side of things doesn't appeal to you, you can still use the medival aspect of it to create an amazing RP enviornment. I've yet to see a MedivalRP server out there, but I do think it'd be a great thing to partake in, regardless if there is magic or not.-ArmyRP: I gotta say, people love their militaryRP here. CCA, OTA, making groups with military ranks and the like. I'm not one to judge in anyway, I find it enjoyable myself. There's no doub that there's a playerbase out there for it, I just think it might be a bit difficult to attract them. You've got people trying out other GMOD servers with it, you've got people doing DoD:S Realism, and other things as well. I think it'd also get old after awhile, once you've completed all the drills, trainings, done some missions, etc. Not as much room to grow as some other options. But I'm sure someone out there could prove me wrong in that aspect.
