Player Count keep decreasing

[FreakOut]

I am not a regular player here but Im watching from while that player count is keep decreasing day by day
A month before There were nearly 30 players play regularly here
But a Week Before There were Nearly 20 Players
and now its 7 only  


Player Count Barely increase 15 Now-A-Days

There was a time LVP had 100 players online, there was a time there were 0 players online. It's just a game
What's your point anyway?

Its not just a game, Its A community
And i'm talking about my time (9:00pm) according to which i wrote player count above And it keeps decreasing
My point is to clarify the issue of decreasing player count and should be solved as soon as possible

[Mr.DeHsHaT]

I guess Wrong Bans  are one of the reasons

Then the community decided to spend their time elsewhere. LVP hasn't changed last month in a way that everybody is quitting. You're not clarifying anything, but merely stating that the player count has dropped and somehow a magical solution can be found for this.

Main reason is the quailty of the server is cheap and in this server u can buy staff politeness by donating or getting premium .Use of illegal cheat tools like proaim or aimbot is also the cause.

Hey you,
i fully agree but there is even more to it.
Let's try to get an insight look and working out whats wrong with LVP:

First of all lets create a Map-Of-Shame to have an appropriate overall view:


(probly not a final version, feel free to add constructive informations)

---

*I will only explain certain spots, those who are most important to me.

First point: Players
As you can see common regular players stick out like candy on a turd.
The most important and biggest part of this server is its playerbase of regular players.
These are the boys and girls who breathe life into LVP. Its also the same group that create all powers
that admins / mods can deploy.   So the first enlightenment that we can state is:

Code:

1# Admin powers and powers in general within 'LVP-Universe' are given by every normal player that connects.

>Furthermore we can state:

Code:

2# The downfall or survival of LVP relies on normal players.

>Synthesis of this would be:
    

Code:

3# They can vote with their feet by just avoiding LVP (yes it's that simple)

If you think of this, its pretty obvious that a 'public-game-server' will only work this way,
wich makes me wonder why so many admins refuse to understand this simple coherencies.



Let's jump to another point, i call it the Admin-Club: Admins
From the beginning we can conclude one thing: 'if you are not part of the club then you are not part of the club'
This section is the most problematic of all. Its connected not only to abusive, childish behavior but also to parts like the mod itself (boring!) and higher management. If you have an admin friend then good for you but if not: you're fucked. But why is

There is a point many players don't see. Over time the lvp community bled dry. What we have today is
mostly a core of old players who gained admins rights over TIME or friendship and old farts who act totally arrogant and don't give a shit but still blocking the pole-position.
These guys played this game for so long, its more then save to say that they lost interest in this game.
So what you gonna do if you are bored but still have powers in a certain spot u dont really care about it anymore? (in this case: a virtual )

I tell you:
You try to create new excitement. And unfortunately there are only 2 ways of doing that in LVP:

Code:

1# change the mod (wich wont happen because lack of devs and ppl who actually have a clue and the needed creativity / willing to do

Code:

2# abuse your powers and have some fun pushing weaker ppl around to feel better (Hey who doesn't like to be an asshole right?)

So when you have a mixture of a corrupt-power-system, boredom due lack of mod changes, probly evil admins,
disinterested lvp-members and rules no1 cares about /interpreted based on who you are -  then you will lose your playerbase for sure.


Another point is this funny spot: VIP (special status / lvl if u pay REAL CASH)
LVP let VIP-members think that they are special and can participate in lvp via their corruptio-system (vip) giving them more commands who have absolutely no value and a vip room that looks like a junkyard and doesn't give you anything you are really looking for / expecting for REAL MONEY.
I can understand using donations to fund the server but this VIP-thing will divide the playerbase even more and giving cmd's to ppl who are probly not able to use the properly.Also whats the point of using vip vehicles (also called admin vehicles) when you can't use them to kill other players? Thats totally nonesense - bluff package. Its like bying cigarettes from someone and the same person denies you to smoke 'em.

A more sensible way of keeping players playing lvp would be actually HEAR what they say. But player who start to complain
get banned or muted. There is this nasty behavior 'if you don't have a solution then SHUT THE FUCK UP' wich obviously stops any progress cause most progress-lines start with problems.
'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.' -LVP


Last point would be FAITH:
I see no point why any player would have ANY trust in LVP esp. when you are an VIP-Member who actually payed you MONEY
and all you do is kicking them in the balls, saying bye bye perma banning them.


Unfortunetly some players still connect and let this happen to them.

This map seriously made my day. I'm gonna print it out and hang it up on my wall.

"What did you ever accomplish in your life?"
"I made a big ass post about how much I got abused and the waterfalls I cried about that. LOL, I even made a map about it!"

TBH, I didn't even read your post. I am still wondering who you are anyway.

Damn, get a hobby.

[Hopper]

Why we are Wasting Time Cake let's BAN Them !


Ridely why r u wasting u r time From creating this such Fucking Map go and mind u r own business !

[cake]

Biggums, I suggest that you find other servers to fill in piracy takedown reports for, you jobless no-lifer.

Since this topic is derailed by people complaining about life, it's gonna get closed. Player-count changes throughout time, deal with it. If you have supportive ideas, go to the designated forum board like Development to present these. Otherwise, stop using topics like these to present the amount of tears you can waste on a game (lets emphasize this, it's a game).

Have fun and a good day.
