The economy needs a good looking at. We need to find a way of adding a money sink for the top end while making the core gameplay loop accessible for newbies.
^^^
New players get shit on have no money and are broke, lost, lonely, naked and afraid. This servers uptime for this save is years upon years. you cant throw a new player in with nothing and expect them to love it and stay.
New players should start with more $ in the first place.
and the 75k u get for linked ur shit should be reverted back to its original number.
Speaking from 100% facts
Bring a central game hub to a city like Pyro. Casino, Duels, Minigames etc. This will increase RP and instead of downtime being AFK or get off, it could be go to the hub nd make new connections and have fun. Players should be able to start an admin even in a location and choose the event, and if a certain amount of players joins, the event will happen. There should also be a reward system in place for this game hub. Maybe like carnival tickets and u get to go redeem it some how for guns, skins, fun stuff.
Need better and more skins
Need unique fun updates/changes
Need staff that will take time out of their day to help newbies and offer a little fun or guidance to them.
Cartel payouts should be buffed to incentivize more fights. Lots of times peak time gang bank goes up like +25k in 2 hours for owning 3 cartels, not how it should be.
