Player Count, your opinion. - xBlueXFoxx - 02-16-2011
http://forum.sa-mp.nl/index.php?topic=27898.msg374555#msg374555
This topic was made to troll clearly, but it looks there can be some productivity off of it after all.
Anyways the point of the creation of this topic is to ask the more mature members of the board; What do you think can increase the player count? LVP is going to hopefully be in some mass productivity soon and development is antsy to know.
But I just want to brief you quickly on what has been happening with the player count the past 2 years. Around 2-3 years ago LVP had a player count with a peak of around 30, like it is today pretty much. Then LVP was affiliated with SA:MP as an official server, with this kind of attention, LVP rapidly grew to a jaw dropping player count of around 170 average. But then for some reason, in 0.3x the "Official" list was removed and LVP is back down to where it was some time ago.
As SA:MP was "designed" for RP and Stunt servers grow more attention than death match, do to the lack of promotion and productivity to death matching and weapon sync. Las Venturas Playground is expecting some changes soon, those changes I can not give detail off but the in regard of the development department, we're asking what can be done to increase the player count? What can be done to satisfy all players?
Remember: Don't use the opinions from the forum, please post from what you have seen in game, the forum tends to have a few "trolls" and "flamers" who have more posts than they have minutes in-game. They're normally just here to annoy people and see what they can do to change LVP into the wrong direction and create the illusion that LVP is a bad server but trying to over dramatize the smallest down sizes in LVP.
Please post your opinion.
In regards of,
-The Development Team of Las Venturas Playground.

Indeed, after it got removed from the official server the player count dropped extremely.
That's the main reason + people getting bored of this game, the server is fine as it is.
> There's to much idiots paying attentions to the player count statistic instead of playing here.
> And the 'few' that's around here is making a big deal out of it, so let them stay in the corner and cry.
Well, there isn't much difference really, just those drama-queens paying to much attention to it which takes the attention too those idiots we got around here.
.. But yeah, I miss the ol' days when we had more players.. But LVP is still LVP (without or with these idiots), but I still enjoy playing here like I always did.

Indeed, don't pay attention to the people on the forum, tell you own opinion.
@Mafo, Yes but the server is not getting as much attention as it should be, it's a well made game mode with many excellent features, those features are just not being discovered or used.
As I said, LVP will be experiencing some major changes while still trying to preserve the LVP feel, the main things of in promotion right now are RP and Stunting, RP clearly lacks dignity as for stunting, that's something many people do without even realizing it. But if the server was to become more stunt friendly, people who death match do not get along with people who stunt, because who doesn't like to whip out some sawn-offs and blast someone who's messing around on a ramp?

I'm sure if we changed back to 0.2 LVP style, people would play for about a week (the ''oldies''), and then retire again.
Let's just hope for the official list to get back again, then the player count is gonna be like this; _/'''''' and stay there, hopefully.

There should be a better turf war system - you need 1 point to take a turf(earned by killing someone)
-There should be a /grank
-DB removed/passenger db also removed from deagle..
-Grenades price raised heavily
-tanks, hunters and hydra's should be buyable(/permit command) used to buy one..
-miniguns should be available

you're fucking crazy lol
Re: Player Count, your opinion. - HoldeN - 02-16-2011
no, new players in sa-mp don't give a fuck about the stuff we have now, they look with servers with stuff that they couldn't get in SP, i bet the server rates would go through the roof if that was added, also, this shouldn't be here i guess but crew should lay off the rules, who gives a fuck if you shoot the ship, make an interior where you can go inside, with the entrance CP having a wait time of 10 seconds to enter to avoid abuse, i could make it so you can still see outside, if you wanted to, it'd be way better then the stupid ship, who the hell is gonna play at a DM server when some of them get in trouble for DM'ing someone on a ship, if there was an interior that'd be way better, non-english should be allowed, and fuck it, add DB, noobs will use it as there only defence, rules should be edited, new players should have a dialog shown up of what weapons they want, and they also should receive 2.5mil for registering..
Re: Player Count, your opinion. - Tpimp - 02-16-2011
Exactly. This is what we actually need to get this play count UP. +1 Holden
AS for my suggestion, I really think we should change the whole "goto sa-mp.nl" to register. I mean, still keep the website and all because there are some great infomation there that players can read about the server and how it grew etc. There should be a few command(s) you can type to register either before you play or after you play. Players will say "oh hey! i cant do that" or they might not get the fact that you need to actually quit sa-mp or alt+tab, go to sa-mp.nl, click "Register" and make an account. Just think, some people don't even have a email to reguster on. People are going to need emails to register on LVP? Just to get an account? That doesn't seem right. Another thing: crew( mods and admins) should be able to activate players accounts (if the ingame register doesn't click with others.)
Players should get something for every 1-5 hour they play. Now, players are like "wow I have to play 10 fucking hours????! omfg".
Minigames should be more fun (putting work into them). FC needs to be improved (shitload of bugs).
Theres alot of things LVP can have, we just need the right time to do so.
Re: Player Count, your opinion. - xBlueXFoxx - 02-16-2011
Minigames are fun, it's just that people don't actually play them, that was one of the points of this topic.

And I can personally say no new fag really gives a damn about Fight Club, and it's also your guy's jobs to report these bugs in the bug reports section if and when you find them.
As for the "wow I have to play 10 fucking hours" I had already suggested possibly an in-game trial registration, to become a full member you must register to the site, that way new players who join the game can register, keep their bank account and other stats for their stay, within 10 days they must register their account to the site or else it gets frozen or deleted. I'm sure any brainless noob can find a website and register to it within 10 days.
Holden, that all sounds like stuff that would benefit your really.
Once again I must say, the SA:MP community does not give a damn about DM, I would not expect much promotion of it in LVP really, annoying truth but yeah the way it's being thought out, LVP is leading toward real work of stunting. Don't get my wrong, LVP will still have fight clubs, street fights ect.

Dude, i play WW and im good at it, i really don't care about my benefits, it'd benefit LVP.
