Re: What the hell happened to LVP?

The second reply of this topic contains this:

someone thought itd be cool to add ramps in every corner of lv so its boring now and nobody likes to play here because of that

I haven't been playing a lot in the server yet, so I am not sure if this statement is correct. However, if it is correct, what will happen with it?
Also, I have a different question (well, two questions)
First one: What are the reasons the population decreased?
Second question (to Higher rankings/Lead-Dev(s)): Can I focus on the answers of the questions above.

Edit:
A third question (not related to the topic). I may sound a big greedy (sorry for that), but is it possible for new developers(e.g me) to have contact with other admins in-game using the admin chat?

That bunch of ramps everywhere indeed makes some of the players mad, spawn in a vehicle and other stuff.
But you can look here, http://forum.sa-mp.nl/index.php?topic=30911.0 but those are not yet on the main server due to some problem.

[Richard]

The ramps will mostly be deleted. This was already live but got reverted due to some last minute problems with crashes.

Q1: There's a lot of reasons to be named. Official list being removed (we were on it), main playerbase getting less active, less clangs/gangs, "newfag" admins according to some players (I don't agree but it's being named anyway) and probably more.
Q2: Not up to me.
Q3: I don't think that's possible right now, not without mod/admin rights.

They'll be removed in 3.0, next version. Actually, we already removed them, but we yet have to introduce that version on the mainserver.

[Biesmen]

Is there a list of what currently has to happen before we bring out 2.9.5? I honestly think we shouldn't wait too long with it

[Kase]

2.95 has been scrapped out, we're working on 3.0 

[striker]

And 3.0 will be a stable version?

[Kase]

Why would we release an unstable version?

[Biesmen]

2.95 has been scrapped out, we're working on 3.0 

The trac isn't really explaining a lot to me. Every ticket which is open at the moment should be fixed/done, and then 3.0 will be released?

[Kase]

Not necessairly. Some tickets are going to be completed at a later date, since they involve refactoring a certain feature. We'll be pushing 3.0 off as soon as possible. Right now, you may focus on fixing the bugs reported @ trac, but leave the new features.
