I've been keeping it to myself and brought it up on rare occasions but now I'm gonna say it. HL2RP is boring as fuck and difficult to keep original with in terms of RP. There's not a whole ot of room. Outlands there may be more room for RP but even still there's a number of restrictions and factors that make it a drama fest and still restricted to a degree.I've been thinking this for well over half a year now. It's time for something new. Now I dont mean have this game planned set up and ready in a week. I'd rather see numerous threads and votes to choose what this game will be like and what the story will be and yeah. An original story. Something we can work with and make interesting.And the map, me and Oz are still going to be doing rp_forgottencity which I think would be perfect for this RP.-edit for dallas-HL2RP isnt improving dispite our efforts. The outlands is causing a drama fest. The city is, i dunno anymore. Why should we keep spending our time and effort into something that requires lots of people, for only a group of people in our massive playerbase?
le memeSeriously, if you want to get mad over it and be flustered how hl2rp isn't like the "good old days" move on. Why don't we have both- shit, this whole thing might not even happen. Do you just assume Khub will want to develop this for us?
Yeah but we don't have the base at the moment to support both hl2rp and epidemic
You can keep your precious HL2RP, but if this truly goes through, the gamemode will probably be swept under the rug. The administration team has had months to improve the quality of HL2RP and to inspire a new playerbase, as well as attract it. I see absolutely no progress. We're wasting far too much effort in an area that isn't improving in the slightest, when we could be putting that effort towards new projects, and projects that are unique to Catalyst Gaming. Truthfully, I think that those of you who are clinging to HL2RP are thinking far too much of yourselves and your liking of HL2RP and far too little of the betterment of this community. I don't mean to be rude, but I always am, so. Regardless of my crassness, I think I'm right in what I'm saying.That being said, this thread is not a forum for an argument over whether or not we should support removing HL2RP. So, I suggest we return to the topic at hand, and get the ball rolling. With any gamemode, the first considerations are what you're going to need for developers. Once you have that established, and you've found those developers, you can move onto canon. We have plenty of talented writers here at CG, so as long as you put them under some kind of direction and assign someone to oversee the entirety of the canon, we will be set. This is doable, so long as everyone puts their best foot forward and works diligently for the purpose of strengthening our declining community. And by declining community, I am not saying we are in bad shape. We are, however, in significantly worse shape than we once were, and I'd like to see that improve.

Back on topic, lets get this approved by CG already :3 I feel like brainstorming ideas already.
This seems like it would be a cool idea and open up lots of new roleplay. BUT the problem at the moment is that I feel we don't have a large enough Serious Roleplay population in Catalyst Gaming to fully give the right experience of the game (All 4 factions active). Even though we may not have the population for it, I really think this would be a cool idea and the setting of the epidemic would provide hours of dramatic and emotional / survival roleplay.
