Been on Outlands a lot with my friend, and the MAX players i've seen is 12, there's hardly anyone on.
Why?
Theres a lot of people on City server, do a lot know about Outlands? Why dont people come on it?
Starting to get Awful Lonely.
>:(
-
Because the outlands rp gets boring very rapidly because theres nothing to do, Its not even fun to play as a vortigaunt.

Probably because you just don't know how to RP as a Rebel.
-
Because admins don't give as much attention to it as the city is my guess. Also city 18 is a map everyone has and noone has outercanals. :( Makes me sad cause with people outlands is a lot better than city.
-
If you want a way better experience, make authorizations and make sure you do a good job on it. I wrote one for a scientist type person... And he was accepted and got the kliener model and now he can icly make things that no other person could really icly do.
-
I reckon if there was an event on the city server that could directly lead on to, or involve the outlands map/server after, it would get more attention then it does at the moment, e.g:
Power grid goes down, few resistance members help a few citizens out of the city. (Considering of course theres the passive side of resistance rp, caring for the citizens. Rather then just CP vs Rebel, or Elite-ist rebel vs Citizens.)
-
To me, out lands isn't as fun as city. DvL>COTA. Also half the population is lolwebuls.

Outlands =/= Fun RP
Nothing good happens anymore, nobody seems to be building the stations again; everyone is searching for these random-loot things, while I walk around, looking for any sign of fucking life.
Hell, I'd go for getting mugged now, at least I get to RP and I see another person.
Too many people don't RP; they look around for their weapons and loot, but what the hell are they going to do with that loot if they don't RP with anyone? Stick it in their inventory and quit the community? The most RP I've had in the past three weeks on Outlands was having a brief conversation with someone, then, I go to City RP for a week or so, come back, Outlands is dead, there's about five people on it.
Maybe a new map could help? Something more common that other people have?
New map =/= rp_apocalypse
TL;DR, Outlands is in the shits right now in terms of RP.
-
Map is most likely not going to be switched. I had no idea that there would be random gun drops;It just encourages lolwebuling.
-
It would be fun if the vorts got sweps to actually use their healing and their electrical attacks. Everyone acts like were stray dogs in the middle of nowhere, I tell them if they touch me again ill zap em but they still fucking mess with me.
/me whistles then says its alright I wont hurt you, just come here fella.
-
I might change some rules in the alliance to make it more fun for random players.
-
Outlands used to be fun on Hostell because we had it set on the Coast isntead of Canals. And the previous owner Pidgey got a fishing mod to keep people busy.
-
fishing mod to keep people busy.
Sounds like a suggestion ;)
-
I think the main problem is the map, its so boring it doesnt have much life. Say a map with a little more buildings that arent randomly placed.

Cough COAST Cough. I mean, with Coast, you get to see the sun, the water, you get to look out at the beach. What the fuck can you do in Canals? Splash in the toxic waste while being blown to death by helicopters?

Order of operations on canals.
1.Spawn then realize that this is not where you were when you disconnected because the server crashed.
2. Run 3 miles.
3. Meet a not so friendly helicopter.
4. Get shot at by a helicopter.
5. Type in ooc that this is not fun.
6. Some smart ass says try passive rp.
7. Finally find a weapon.
8. get mugged lose everything.
9. Rinse and repeat.
10. Profit?
-
This is kind of sad but it took me like, 10 minutes to get out of the spawn this morning because it was so dark and the exit tunnel had to light until you got up close to it. So I just jumped around in circles. Canals suck.
-
Sounds like a day at the canal's :P
We need a better map :'(
-
The day we get a coast map is the day Outlands will kill its are selve. As I've explained previously, coast maps are not designed for roleplay.

Coming from the guy who said screw canon.
If the RP gets boring try making a profession like making makeshift stuff.. on my other char who escaped to the outlands he made a early stage of a water powered generator using water wheels. Best thing with professions is you can play by yourself and pretend your saving the human race.

That's funny because Outlands on hostell was a lot more successful than ours, and it was on COAST.

Hey, I'm witty cuz I know bb code lol!
Also, you should know that this sort of forum sarcasm contributed to your previous ban, and continues to contribute to your lack of respect in the community.

Hmm, I never said that.
What I did say was that there is less true, Valve-official canon than people assume. The canon that does exist should be held at a lower priority than roleplay/ gameplay itself.
If you are still confused, PM or sf me about it.

A new map MIGHT boost the player base. I have seen this kind of thing before,if there is a popular map that everyone has they would rather go to a crappy server with a good map then a good server with a bad map.
