You lost countless amazing RP'er years ago, They moved on.
Petty bans, admin favoritism and when i was involved a total lack of respect. I spent 1000's of hours making the police work to end up being banned for a technicality. I ended up buying another arma 3 account to play on here because i loved the community that much.
Imagine spending 8 hours a day every day for 12 months on a server giving 100's of people a week good roleplay sessions even when it felt like a chore, while not receiving any credit or even being recognized as a person i guess i was just an asset, it was so bad that i spent countless hour in 2014 creating police documents (possibly the first training manual, there certainly wasn't anything used when i started) and training to make the police force as efficient but also fun. it was never published in the police but when i left it popped up with my name removed, got 0 credit for it it. Fundamentally doesn't matter, it's a long time ago and i hold no ill will nor do i wish to visit it, it's just an example of how mistreated i felt.
There is a reason why this server is still here, a strong community and yes patient admins, i personally resent the admins here for treating me and my guys how they did but that is a personal matter and should have no regard how things happen going forward. My only advice is to the admins and that's recognize and reward the players that make the server a place worth playing in, the best players are the selfless ones who sacrifice their time for the server in order to make it a happy and fun place to be. You don't have to take away praise for the admins or developers or the hard working mod team, there is a place for everyone to have a rewarding experience but the unsung heroes are cops who put 1000's of hours into this not for any gain but just the benefit of the community. Admins mods and developers create and maintain the world, great players put that iceing on the top of the cake.
