I'm just curious if there are any other reasons why there were lesser people joining the servers besides school and stuff.
-
After the ZS server went down for a long time, people didn't really recognize us that much anymore.

Wasn't that because we still kept the old and outdated ZS while everyone had the new one?
-
Hasn't ZS gone out of style anymore anyways? And Gmod in general?

I personally like the old ZS. I think that the fact we have old ZS makes us different from the everyone who has the new ZS.
It would be nice to play ZS again, or Stronghold.

fretta, ws, and snivy's rNd new zs server were reallly fun...
also ttt when it always had people
nowadays i never even see it near full even during what used to be peak times, same time and date in the past couple years
-
I remember when the TTT server used to always be full. Those were the good days.
Fretta was also fun too. I also liked Greenshift, but that server was almost always empty.
Thankfully, it seems that more people are playing (server has hit max players twice in the last month), and I hope it gets back to the same activity level as it did two or three years ago.

Speaking of WS,i wonder if it'll ever be made for GMod 13.

Lol no. I started playing some other games and I am trying to enjoy a game called Real-Life. (No it ain't a parody of Half-Life)
And servers are mostly empty when I want to play. No offence but I do want to play with other people to then to play with people over and over.

I miss the good old days where nearly all the servers were at least populated...

The community was kind of dying for a short time but now we're getting closer and more comfortable with our
bodies selves.

I don't know about you guys but,i just played on a Prop Hunt server and all i can say is:it's playble,has no bugs(that i know of),and it's really the same thing as before.
I don't really see any flaws on having a prop hunt server on rNd

Prophunt was in the Fretta server when it was up.
I don't think Prophunt has enough content to constitute it being an entire server.
If Fretta ever returns, I would love to see Prophunt on it.
RND needs a DarkRP server. I know when RND had it before, it was a failure, but still...it would be nice.

Agreeing with prophunt not working as a server, definitely disagreeing with DarkRP working.

Well lately I haven't had time to spent on the computer due to me being a lazy prick and not doing anything in the times I was supposed to. Also the time I do have for computer games I expent it mostly on LoL.
Also problems with my ex gf doesn't really let me concentrate when I'm home.
Anyways....

I actually agree with this.
If I remember correctly the last time we tried an RP server it wasn't Dark rp. A good amount of time has passed since that.
Also If I had to propose something I would propose the following:
1) Finish that Item shop, since feeling that you're earning something and not wasting your time (even if you're) makes it nicer to play...atleast for some people or kids.
2) If there is enought support from the community, add a Jailbreak server, and if there isn't too much, weekends only due to Jailbreak being a gamemode where someone have to look out for rule breakers.
3) I always tough a revamped WS server would be really nice, and I still do. Adding a pourpose to the gamemode like rounds of build your shit and after 5 minutes ffa or build a shack before a storm strikes and kills you would be nice.
-
Well on the plus side of things, no more (D)DOS :party: :party: :party: :party:

I still highly don't support this at all, it's not even original.

If an item shop is added, there should be an option to disable seeing hats and accessories.
I don't want to see those retarded out of place hats in the game.

They shouldn't exist at all.
-
I used to have a friend who ran a ttt server that had a hat store and shit. But ttt gives everyone the same skin for a reason. If out of the corner of your eye you see a guy with a santa hat kill someone but you don't get their name, it makes it too easy. And I've see n so many times people buy those glowing trails, and they always lead to bodies. It makes the game very unsavory. A hat store in ZS or stronghold, or any other server isn't bad. But not the sacred ttt.

I'm currently in the middle of moving to a new house. I hope to have the computer back by the end of August.

Hey,i was hungry...everyone was gone when i came back
-
I heard some people occasionally got bored of TTT and gmod in general and took a break and started to play other games I also think some other people were just in general busy with life situations and have took really huge breaks such as 2 months or more but I just think most people are busy with stuff at the moment I guess.
-
I haven't had a computer until as of late, but uh, could be as Novias said, people get bored of some games, GMod is no different.
-
I feel like we should have ZS up again,Morbus isin't fun at all and no one plays it anymore.

When people usually say they want zs up they play it for the first 2 weeks and then nobody even plays it at all and people start to complain about how it's dead then it goes down. And some other person wants zs back up again it's a really interesting cycle really.

Haven't heard of anything involving ZS.

I think moving some of the dead server for different games would be cool. *cough cub world cough* or any other fun games that can hold all our personality... all of it

I'm supporting this idea. TF2, CSS/CSGO, DOD or whatever other game there is, we should have servers for those.

I'm afraid we only have one player that plays that game lol.
That I know of.

why are you suggesting this
not ok

Even though a lot of people left in the past I am starting to notice a slow pattern of people starting to come back which is very very interesting.
-
I think TTT is more active at night~
-
Hello! I am Error.
-
We need WS and Fretta baaaack :'(
Oh and TTT is only populated when our regular players come in, every other hour(s), it's nearly/totally empty. It's like an undead server :zombie:
-
Well... regardless of population, we ARE the best community. I'd rather be a part of a small, close community of friends than a big community of strangers.

It's only a matter of time when the only people populating the servers get sick of the game.

Is anyone else just a bit curios about what "those times" are or why the original unedited thread was posted?
I'm guessing no one else noticed the latter.

There's just better alternatives than rNd. I use word 'better' very lightly. rNd is... old school. That's not enough for people who have played these games for years now. We play every single map and every single gamemode all over.
People want a ranking system, people want point shops... That's what keeps them addicted. As long as they know they have another reason to join back. Not because the gamemode is fun or the community is large and helpful but because it has POINTS. YAY
There's nothing wrong rNd being old school. Just doesn't fit today's standards. No, I don't like them either.
Also, isn't GMOD now harder to "pingas"? All the updates would most certainly break everything.
Personally, I cannot be asked to bother anymore. RND was a good run while it lasted. I liked the large community (at least compared to this) and gamemodes it had back then. It was also very "pingas" friendly. Being the first community I was ever in. I learned a lot, thank you. I might still play here and there. No doubt about that. However, the time has come my friends...

I don't think this community will die anytime soon, we still have new players coming and going.

I really strongly agree with having a DarkRP server.

I don't know any of you on this page besides Sabb.
He has a voice or something, I think.
What exactly were those times by your definitions? :c

I strongly agree with having this type of server or even prop hunt thats always fun

Please god..just no.

Please fucking stop overreacting, there is nothing wrong with darkrp itself. Its just the players.

Darkrp is hilarious to mess around in, a darkrp server would be nice

That's what I mean, the players would probably ruin the servers, they will look at other servers like TTT and Morbus and say "ooh whats this?" connect, rdm. get banned.
My point is that there will be more work for admins and VIPs, they will have to go back and forth to moderate three servers.
Maybe I am over reacting, I just don't want to see this community turn to shit...

Honestly,like someone said before,i'd rather have a bunch of RDMers and rule breakers than have the servers empty 80% of the time.
Why do you think we have so many VIPs anyway?
-
I see that people like to refer to players who play certain game modes as groups while they are all essentially Garry's mod players. That being said I don't think much of Garry's mod players play only one game mode so basically it doesn't really matter what game mode do they play, they, as players, are all pretty much the same it's just that each game mode offers a different amount of possibilities to abuse it.
-
Honestly I think our server would handle darkRP really well. Our moderators aren't bad at all and we are very stict on keeping things in order. Sure it'll attract players that might be annoying, but honestly we all start some where, why not rNd? I'd rather have players that might need some growing up, then none at all. If we had a darkRP server I'd probably be there 99.9% of the time, so I don't think "lack of moderation" would really be an issue.
-
Tbh I'm fine with DarkRP but I think people are over looking one major difference between RND and really ever successful DarkRP or any RP server that I've been on.
Any roleplay gamemode will have a lot more rules than say morbus or even TTT because every player is expected to play a role and to not abuse it in the situation given. It's however, very easy to and probably the reason DarkRP is so common. A lot of people undeniably like to join to purposely exploit the gamemode's unavoidable flaws.
Back to what I said though, the main difference is that RND has maybe a small handful of active admins as opposed to nearly any DarkRP server which will have a buttload. RND is more careful with what admins are selected whereas DarkRP servers general have the idea that promoting many people quickly and demoting the ones that don't work well is best. And for a gamemode like that it is best. No one's going to join and seriously play DarkRP unless it's heavily moderated and the only way that's going to happen is if there are many more VIPs and admins. Not saying that this change would be worth it fyi, just giving my two cents on the situation.
More or less I think that the only way we could even consider having a successful DarkRP gamemode is by maybe changing up the ranked system a little again in some way that will benefit. Maybe even making a new rank, possibly one specifically for DarkRP just so there's going to at least be someone on there nearly at all times.
I know some people feel that RND does have enough ranked members and for what it hosts currently I would more or less have to agree. I like how it is currently. However, we need to consider how players react to different gamemodes and what changes might need to be made for that to work. I have a feeling most people won't want major changes like this just for a DarkRP gamemode. If you go on any popular DarkRP server that has say 20 people, even with 2 or 3 actual admins it often is a lot to handle for them and a lot of people get away with subtly breaking rules because it's very difficult for such a small number of people to watch over exactly what every single person is doing. So having one person sitting in there 24/7 isn't actually going to make that big of an impact especially because there's no way that's going to actually be monitored that whole time. So really as far as I'm considered with ranked members, the more the merrier. At least for DarkRP.
Again not saying that I think that should even happen, just saying what I think would be required if there were a DarkRP server implemented. Personally I don't really care too much on way or another, all just depends on what other people are willing to do.
-
I agree with DarkRP as well even though I haven't played it, might as well try with rNd, though I'm questioning why did this discussion on where everyone was at and why the servers were empty turn to gamemode ideas
-
If you would like to consider discussion of a Dark RP server, please make a thread in suggestions.
However, I must say that the game has many flaws by design. Also, the technical design of that gamemode is notorious for bringing upon many insecurities. The amount of work that would be required to host that gamemode reliably would be quite substantial in comparison to other potential gamemode alternatives. I have explained this many times over however it seems I need to reiterate.

For as much as I would love an RP server, I understand how this would probably be a lot of work, and a lot of risk. Plus if people aren't sure how successful it's going to be, I understand how it seems like a waste of time. It'd be nice though, I do love RP.

me and a few friends would play the hell out of DarkRP should you make one
