The chart shows that people do not like grinding to get little reward for their efforts, and when you are in Georgetown you expect it to be full of hobos, but it isn't because people are always out grinding to get money and XP, so instead of role play, no one interacts with each other and that shouldn't be the case, role play should happen all of the time, and no one stops to speak to people (or at least I haven't seen) because people don't like the way that it is set up and as mentioned earlier, the casual players who like to role play in the big town don't because they need to get some money to achieve this in a way, and also we all know most of the people that are casual are the main bulk for the population on the server.
All credit to the the development team and also management for dedicating their time into making this server, but with the graph also backing up what I am saying, what we are doing doesn't seem to be working, because people are not coming on Tanoa because it is not worth playing for an their efforts are not being rewarded, I like the XP system we have implemented and so do other people but I think the main problem is that it is not the economy itself, but I think the lack of money that you make, an idea could be to increase the price of licences and other equipment, so increase the profits that you make on each run and make it worth while but also make sure that it is simple enough and within a decent enough time frame to actually get the licences and guns, because without people having guns and their being no crime = no cops, which therefore means their is little role play, and also cops make around 30 - 40% of the player count on the server, but currently, you are lucky to see more that 4 or 5 at a time and without cops that means their is no much role play and because of the lack of money and certain levels you have to be before you can do certain things their is little crime which people have commented on earlier on, the police force is pointless, and because of this factor the player count goes down! And the chart that
@Banana Duckposted earlier should ring alarms bells in peoples head because it is a new server and it should be flooding with new people, but instead they either are going back to Altis or they are leaving and going elsewhere, and that is not what we want, we want them to have fun and not spend hours trying to get money to do things, and it is important that we keep our player base!
All of this is my opinion and I hope that I don't get in trouble for posting this, but I have got the community in my best interests and I want to make it better so we can get that player count back up and turn that chart upside down! I am not saying all this to be offensive or as you say "slagging people off", I am saying this to try and better the Tanoa server and make it more popular for people to play, and things need to change soon because people will just stop playing all together and the Tanoa server might die, and that is not what we want, I know
@TinyBigJacko,
@Neo,
@Wilco,
@Mr Cardoso,
@Ciaran+staff team have put a lot of effort in getting the server up and bringing out updates and testing as I have being doing, but what we are doing just doesn't seem to be cutting the mustard, and again I am not saying this to be offensive and I don't mean to cause offence in anyway as I have gave up my time to test and help, but I just want what is best of the community and I want the community to grow and attract more player to come and play and bring the population up, but at the moment that doesn't seem to be happening and I understand the hard work that has being put into this server, and it is fantastic and it has a lot of potential to be an amazing server, but it just needs to be pointed in the right direction if you like, and I am not "slagging the server off" I am voicing my concerns and what needs to be done about it as I have said before, this server means a lot to a lot of people and I and the rest of the people in the community don't like seeing low player counts, but if people are not playing, then something must be wrong!
Anyway, thank you for reading, and I hope that none of the management, the development team or any of the staff team don't take offence to this, I am simply sharing my concern, it was not my intention to cause offence, I just want the server to thrive and I want it to be successful and their is still time, and with time I think it will get better!
Thanks for reading!
