Server Wipe - Keep existing factions/GANGS/Major Businesses

[Custard Cream / Jay Macs]

Brief Summary:

Reset the server do how it was Day 1. Everyone resets, Cars, Bank everything.

Detailed Suggestion:

Oh boy i can already smell how many downvotes this is going to get but here goes. 

I think the server should have a complete wipe. Everyones bank account reset to new character levels. Everyones cars gone, houses, guns, all of it.

With the imports being forced to be removed this seems like a pretty fair option to everyone involved, yes everyone grinded and will be surely pissed off at losing there stuff but it will actually give people a motivation to roleplay and grind for again. In addition to this there wont be anywere as much gun crime as there was and the guns should also be made harder to make and have a stronger focus on melee combat, how it was pre gang update. 

The police/Gruppe6,

To add to this suggestion I would propose for all police other than firearms and MOCU, to lose their firearms and just be restricted to tasers and other less than lethal equipment. Avante Guarde and the rearming of police can be a contigency measure for when everything gets really bad again, but then at least we can get back to the core roots of a british themed server.

The Pros:

• Everyones reset Fair to everyone
  
• Focus more on grinding again
  
• More roleplay as not everyone is in a all gunfights 24/7
  
• Less worry about the import issue
  

The Cons:

• People will get salty and leave the server
  
• People will get annoyed about losing their stuff they worked hard for.
  

Yes the population will decline for a while but it just allows for more focused areas of RP and not the cluster it can be when the server is constantly full. People will trickle back in, and should help RPUK become what it used to be again. IMO Yearly wipes should be a thing.

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?

Yes EVERYTHING

Can I just add, without gangs the server will still live on. They aren't a core feature to the server, the server thrived before and after the gang update that added them. Before you say that gangs produce most of the RP on the server, the last time I was actually dealing with a gang as Police, they wiped the entire police force after a few words spoken. When dealing with another gang, as a criminal it ends the exact same way. I'd much rather roleplay with The Occult, Bingle and Low level crims. 

 Without this gangs will become even more dead, (if possible) and without a gang the rest of the server is pointless, likewise if you lost all police or all civs

A reminder to all players that are participating in this thread. Keep it civil and keep it on topic. If you can’t do that, don’t participate, otherwise staff will have to get involved.

+1 believe this should be brought back up,

I believe all business owners should keep their business to keep it somewhat fair but everything else should be wiped so everyone is somewhat on the same level for everyone to re grind again as right now, Economy is fucked and is only getting worse. Server has to remove imports so cars are being sold at 10 Mil rather then 1.6/1.7

I believe a wipe would be perfect for rp and for the server in general ofc like I said, keep people’s businesses

Another pro is that with everyone being on same level more f6s might be made as everyone can do it cause they won’t be so far behind

its been mentioned but this is in large partly due to the bin jobs atm

any random new player can have a supercar within a week now doing bins
and car auctions are pretty much going for 2/3x now as people have grinded bins so much they can afford to spend that much

not disagreeing with you but thats in large part of the reason for the migh cost on cars

But the thing is people already have double digit millions from when these cars weren’t expensive,

People who went into the car flipping avenue and grabbed a super car at 1.8 mil and held on to it for a month have managed to make a little flip on it. Now when you say that you would think ah they made maybe 250k reselling it, no they make 7-9 mil that’s an absurd amount of money to make off one car and think of the people who had multiple of them xD

With a restart everyone will do bins together and from the bottom so people can make the same amount of money as eachother which would make people pay less for cars and other materialistic things in the server because you have to take into account profit margins and time and effort etc.

But I see where you come from

I believe all business owners should keep their business to keep it somewhat fair

"selling dealership for 50 mil, any takers" no thanks, if the server wipes i'm taking all shops

Honestly, I was just saying that to please the business owners who would be upset about losing their companies,

Yes COC in all honesty should take those aswell everyone full time grind

It would be a damn shame on all the history and lore players have built on the server to get to this point, i think some ''crisis''-events could achive many of the things people want out of a ''wipe'' without loosing the aforementioned.

 

[Nikki Nixon]

Alot of people icluding me came and stay in RPUK cause they have a strict non wipe system. that way you can build and earn. How to fix it? even all jobs ish some a little more than others. Make drugs good. as to deal you have to get the drugs. risky in many ways on its own. then you have to cut them. then you have to sell them in risk of all gangs. lone robbers and the police so that should come with a good payment. It will bring all the gang RP back in many ways and the selling turfs used again. and it will have a knock on effect for police RP too. SO no to a full wipe. or any wipe for that matter. Small changes can be made to sort out more issues over time.

Business Owners that actually RP will have their business taken off them?? Im not going to lie that would most probably demotivate me from playing the server again. With putting in so much time in the past to build what the shop is today would be gutting to have it taken off me tbh. Just a personal opinion

 

[Joe Scrub]

+1 only if there are no rules for the first month and you can loot people you down.

I mean okay as long as there was some rules in place like groups and organisations cannot own more than one buisness
