Time to say goodbye to the community . Now I am not going to go for the stereotypical salty exposing the server post like some people do and I am not going to do the all happiness good time departure post either, I am going to give some constructive criticism. This is not a stab at the server these are my suggestions and complaints.
It is no secret that the server is not what it used to be, previously server 1 would almost always be full with server 2 being full at peak, and now the server is on occasion full with server 2 with about 5 people on, there is a large number of reasons for this and I will explain some now.
There is a severe lack of development on the altis server over the last 6 months or so, only map reshuffles and changes that to be honest I didn't like but that's subject to opinion, many features have recently been removed such as go karts and bounty hunters meaning there is not much for a civilian to do other than play as a rebel, now of course, altis airways and unmc have been added, however, British airways is limited to experienced pilots and unmc got nothing new, just a uniform and a default rebel store. A lot of long-term member of the community have left because they are bored/ have nothing new to do on the server. I myself in the recent months have barely have played.
Roleplay. Now I know a lot of people will dislike this but the roleplay on the server is nothing compared to what it was, when I was in marmite miners, before most of us left the server it was possible to roleplay your way out of almost any situation, you were rewarded for roleplaying with police and it was actually possible to go out as a rebel and roleplay with a cop without being punished, as a civilian it is extremely hard to get the polices attention to even speak to them unless you commit a major crime and if you commit a major crime police will punish you even if you roleplay. The issue is civilian /cop relations, as a rebel if a cop sees you commit a crime recently all I've heard is hands up or be tazed (sounds a bit like hands up or die ey) or the worst I have seen is a group of rebels that could kill the police in a matter of minutes instead roleplay with the police, and half way through the roleplay the police will tell the rebels to put their hands up as the police have set up around the area and can have a chance in a gunfight. Will rebels trust cops to roleplay if this happens, no. will cops want to roleplay if they have been killed a few times before by the gang, no. The majority of the distrust is caused by lower ranking police officers not being trained well, in the last 24 hours these are the rule breaks that have happened to me by lower ranking officers. 2x vdm 4x blatant rdm and 1x borderline combat impounding without announcing the owner first.
Next is the attitude to rule breaks on the server. over the last few months, the idea of resolving a situation has been out of control, the attitude I have seen is if I didn't die I don't care and if I did die then I want comp or ill report it . The number of times I have heard someone wanting comp over a rule break that even if it didn't happen they would have died anyway, it is not amazing is it. Also when an in game admin sees a rule break it is instant ban without warning or speaking to the person, this massively discourages new players as if they have played the server for a short amount of time and get banned for an unwritten rule, will they appeal it? probably not they will join a different one or if a long-term member of the community does the same and they don't play the server much anymore will they appeal it? some will some won't. Speaking of unwritten rules why are there unwritten rules? You might say common sense rule but does that really cover the huge amount of unwritten rules, not really. Please redo the rules so many people have been banned because of unwritten rules and have not returned.
Now I am not writing this huge leaving post for the typing experience, these are genuine and real concerns that need to be addressed, I mean just look at the active gangs on the server at the moment, it's only a handful whilst back in the day you couldn't keep track of them all. I understand that you want to concentrate on tanoa but the main map everyone knows, loves and plays the most needs to be sorted first.
Finally, onto the goodbyes and the good times, I would like to thank everyone for giving me the enjoyment and entertainment I have had on the community, I have been a part of this community for a year now and with over 2000 hours and over 1000 logons to the server. I will list as many people as possible who I have been friends with on the server sorry if I forgot you.
