I dont know if we can milk another NEW map. Which hits close to the hl2 lore.

Honestly though? This map suits our lore.

If we had HL2 lore you'd never leave your apartment, you'd be 99% more likely to die than ever see a rebel on server, would probably never have anything more than a pipe or USP if you helped in the railroad and wouldn't have armor and would likely die very very quickly. There'd be no D4 and the first sign of you having rebellious tenancies or even the suspicion of them would get you PK'd, presuming the cop even needed a legitimate reason to kill you (they wouldn't).

There'd be no loyalist organizations, no CWU, no S2K, nothing but sitting in your apartment doing passive forever, or joining up as a unit.

That's why when people say they want "HL2" they really don't. They want an adapted HL2.

Also lmao at people legitimately thinking Outlands would solve anything as a whole or spice up the server.

You'd see 99% of rebels move there and sit around trading without a care in the world, or at most making unique passive (which most didn't on LP so thats not really an argument for it). In fact I'm confident if the Union never set foot as a presence in the Outlands you'd have never seen a single complaint despite the fact all people did there on LP is what they do in the city now, minus shooting cops.

Which is why when people argue that the server needs Outlands to function or it would encourage more growth I get really confused because only a very few players bothered to take advantage of the new and interesting avenues of RP it encouraged. Most of the time it was a few days of quiet before a mass of internally-motivated PK's and people camping out in their stalls at the bunker.

I like Outlands, but it absolutely isn't the holy grail of ideas, nor is it remotely a necessity.

What HL2 really needs is people wanting to spice things up. There's a fuckload of stuff you can do via event chains and even on server but so few people bother to do them, or stick to them, or they get flat-out encouraged.

Think you’re trying to address this as a community problem somewhat without anything to back up the claim other than maybe some ignored suggestions.

We see stats on our player counts and it’s not really declining at all compared to the previous year. You might think things get ignored or we aren’t willing to look at change but you have no idea how things are at the top level, there are a lot of different groups and opinions to consider. We also only have 1 server director so almost all the pressure goes onto Blackquill.

It’s not dying like you think it is, there just isn’t something new or inticing frequent enough for those players to join as frequently.

If it had the occasional sword toting drunk 'knight' then why not do it again but make it hl2

Nah Begotten isn't comparable.

Begotten's plot was "God committed suicide. Deal with it."

Like demon rape on the daily and shit.
