View Full Version : Bring back DarkRP?

As the title suggests, we should bring DarkRP back. We hardly gave it a chance after summer ended, when it was sometimes empty.

I think it would work out very well, there were no attempts at reviving it, or even seeing if it would bounce back.

Not to be a pessimist, but I think it'll fall right back into the pit where it was this summer. It needed a lot of work from Spartan and there were people whining and crying about it right and left. It was fun though when people worked together and actually stole stuff legitimately.(no prop surfing)

I enjoyed it for it's brief time here, but I believe it'd be more of a problem then something that worked...

Dark RP was extremely fun, it's just the fun was always, always, had at some dumbfuck car salesman's expense.

If you were to refresh a server list for Garrys mod, there are HUNDREDS of vacant darkrp servers just wasting the owners money away. A better question is "Why would you bring darkrp back if the server successful using TTT as a gamemode?". Unless your calling Trolls to ruin your life, its best to stay away from darkrp for your own saftey.

What? We never removed TTT for this server.

Also, we don't even need a new dedi, I don't think our Stranded server has been taken over by something else yet, since it simply says "offline" in the servers tab.

Stranded was on the dedi that got taken out as far as I remember

We don't have a second dedi anymore. We have 1 gmod server, which will remain ttt. I'm not gona restate my reasons for not putting darkrp back on another server, as I've aready done it elsewhere.

The amount of time I spent on making dark rp work, constantly checking on it to fix bugs, lag issues, crashing issues, restricting props that would crash the server....... I don't have it anymore. Nobody else knows how gmod works practically and well, it sucked AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. FFFUU VIV.

Im sure there are others, but we usually fail to take said help.

LOL hell no. Admins broke the rules as much as the regular players did. That game mode on our server dwindled down to just a pure cop vs. robber/gangster rdm fest.

I guess what he says is that he doesn't want to have to keep it running, but, if someone with more capability then him wants too, it'll be his problem, at least, that's what I understand about it. But in my opinion, DarkRP was not as fun as the others, there was not enouh... let say... things you could do, since lot's of things were restricted.

Behind TTT, its been the best Gmod server we've had. The Build server(s?) all died, the winter survival/stranded servers were epic fails, and as far as I can tell, we just let that minigames one die after like, a week.

Well people seem to forget that they WILL die in this game, so its best not to carry around all your shit at once.

If it comes back (Which, in all honesty, probably wont), we need to exclude keypads, because all that led to was impenetrable fortresses of rage. No, the game doesnt have to be only about stealing/farming money printers, but we can all agree that the only reason anyone used keypads was because people didnt want to lose their shit.

Never forget the hold of the house with a closed off roof with like 30 blast doors to protect the money printers.

2 keypads per house was perfectly fine, it gave the theif purpose.

Yea, 2 would be fine, I can't remember the maximum amount we could use, but 2 seems ok. I understand the purpose of RP, but what would be fun, is that we would have more way to interact with each other, regardless of stealing and killing each others. And as Bad Dog said, to me, it's all stealing/moneyprinters there's not much you can do other then that.

Well, thats not entirely true. I mean, yes thats the faster way to make cash, but running a shop can be fun as well, and messing around with cars and what not as well. Thats why I loved RP, because yes people had some insanely fun money printing heists, but there were also things like Hobo Town, using flying cars, kidnapping people, ect..

Just so much random shit you can do, it was great

Why not have Deathmatch RP? It would be easier to manage and there would be no complaints of RDMing and stuff like that. There is also no police.

I'd be jumping for joy if we had a DarkRP server again, I'd probably even become more active in SG again. But the problem is we need A) Admins that have been properly trained on how to admin the RP server and B) Probably a dedicated Lua coder to give us something to stand out. Deathmatch RP, it can be fun, as I've seen on a different server that did something like it but the problem is making it so the rules are fair and not annoying to new players. I have tons of idea's for an RP or RPDM server but the problem is trying to maintain balance, keep out/minimize griefers, keeping the player base interested etc...
