In my opinion all the prestige system has done is create tons of tiny or single person gangs that use the gang to store cash instead of dumping it into the void to prestige. If you join a big gang and your capped, you have to hope they manage the money you contribute correctly or just revert back to the same prestige void. At the current server prices 20 mill cap would be reasonable if you want to keep a prestige system. Also, we don't need all these big all encumbering changes at first. I mean we have an entire hunting zone still on the map with all the features except..... the FN animals! How hard would it be to activate the animals? I mean hunting is not going to save the server but why are we not improving what we have now to garner a little faith in the possibility of bigger changes? Bugged fields, useless vehicles.... It seems like they are listening to the trolls instead of the few players who still give a flip about the server. If we are not going to Malden, and you don't want to pull the plug, start improving on what we have little by little. Either that or just put us out of our misery. I'm trying hard to stay in the game and talk it up to the few new folks that come on, but with no changes EVER, its kind of hard. When is the last time anyone DL'd an update file?

Flyrobert1000 is the bomb. The dude always RPs with us, he's on all the time, he comes back even though he's out manned and out gunned. He doesn't stop until he takes us down. I never heard him speak poorly of anyone and he's always in char. This man deserves a promotion! More cops like him!

I'm not sure if the RV will still be in the new map or not if its chosen, but I had an idea to spice up the RV and Meth for newer or non-gang players. The RV would function as normal, take your ingredients, process into Cocktail, Process into Crank. You now have a tuck full of crank. So, here's the new part. You take your RV full of volatile crank and have an option to turn it into Crystal Meth. The risk is the entire truck exploding taking out your product, truck, and you with it. Maybe make it a 50/50 shot you succeed or get blown up. It would add a bit of gambling risk, financial incentive, and it would be a small enough quantity that regular processing would still be way more lucrative for groups. I'm no programmer so I'm not sure how hard the coding would be for something like this, but I think people would enjoy it. With a smaller map it would make even more sense to Offer something like this.

Honestly this is the best response on this we could hope for. Everyone here just wants to see this server to succeed. It's supposed to be a fun thing to do with our time. This goes for the Owners/Developers as well. If it's not fun what's the point. I've learned in life being open and honest about what can and can't be done is monumentally more constructive than blowing smoke up the collective community's butt with empty promises. Gamers are a tough crowd, but also kind of loyal. I can only speak for myself, but I will stick with the server and help as much as possible with positive promotion as long as I feel the Owners/Devs give a crap. Any movement forward is positive movement. Thanks for the update!

I agree with Tricks, I don’t think the server has to die. Will we see 100 players again, probably not, but a consistent 25-40 players would be great. I would do whatever nesssary to help keep the server going. I enjoy it and it’s worth the time to save it. I’m an old head approaching retirement. I devote time into things I enjoy and this is one of them. I missed the application for support, but I’d be willing to assist with that. I know most of the base game features and can answer most questions. Find a way to let the players help save the server. We obviously want to! Congratulations on king degenerate !!!!!!!! I do try! That was not meant as a brag, just setting the tone as someone who sees what’s happening in game.

I don't really have a dog in this fight because I just got back Jan 1st. I do, however, have the most hours played this month on the server and am constantly in game. I was surprised at the wipe when I returned. It ended up being a good thing for me at least because I was able to start fresh and get financially to a competitive level pretty fast. The last week It's been the same 5-10 players every night, and usually by a certain time it's me and 1 or two others. This morning, I logged in before work to see 0 players on. It was sad really. I enjoy the server and the core group of players we had a month ago was very supportive. I honestly don't know what could save the server. I know more things to do would be cool. Fix issues that are known and have been known. We still have a bugged Cotton field. How is that even possible? A garden truck that's for sale that does not work. Delete it or fix it. I try and support the new players that do log in only for them to get destroyed by some of the current players that feel like they are entitled to abuse whoever they want. One of the reasons I play here and not Olympus, a server I was in the first 20 players on when it opened, Is because it's not as complicated and busy. You can't do anything on that server unless you have a big gang. One gang has taken over the entire server and RDM's everyone anytime they want. We don't want that, but we need more things to do. I haven't seen the sunken gang boat in a month. It's things like that which allow non gang battle players to harvest good money and do something different. It seems like the devs/Admin get on, do some type of Cop/Gang battle and bounce. The Prestige system is junk. It is a motivation killer and should be abandoned immediately. All it does is force you to make a gang to bank funds if you play solo or risk throwing money into a void. I don't understand why we don't have induvial buyers for the commodities. It seems like a lazy way to do it. Governor is a neat concept but all they seem to do is win, raise taxes to the max, log in to pardon people every now and then, and you never see them again. The talent system for civs pre wipe was a plus for me, but I understand some people didn't care for it. A revamped talent system for civs would be really cool. I've seen several people log in asking about where the talent system was and log out when they hear we don't have a civ one. The last thing we need is another wipe. I would never play again if they wiped all the work over the last month+. Some solid communication an actual enjoyable content that is not recycled old stuff would be awesome. Add mushrooms, LSD, find a way to make fishing viable by raising the rewards for the bigger fish, make diamonds a stand-alone mine and processor with a chance to process flawless stones in the batches. Give us an option to Process Crank into Crystal Meth with the RV and with a 50/50 shot that the whole truck blows up and kills us. Risk vs Reward. I am already a Plus member and would continue to support the server if they would really show they want to bring it back. Just my 2 cents worth.

+1 This 10-mill cap is bonkers.

Forgot to introduce myself. Name is Gnike, formally Fin McCool on this server. I first joined in 2014 and played off and on till 2019. I have a few thousand hours in Arma and a few hundred on Altis life. I just started back at the beginning of this year. I primarily do legal farming and some other farming activities. I haven't gotten into Gangs much yet but I'm looking forward to starting now that I'm at level cap for money and will need something to do. I try and RP most all situations and as long as your cool with me I will always be cool with you. I will help new players and talk shit to people who kill them for no reason. I mostly keep to myself. RL, I'm from the USA. Southern State in the Central Time zone. I'm older than most everyone else on the server lol If anyone needs anything just ask.

Sweet updates! Keep improving and we will keep growing! Let's do the Gardening truck next!
