sorry chief but it simply isn't going to be the fantasy you think it would be

Could you imagine like having a character the length of one of your HL2RP chars and having them get bit? Like the thought of knowing that you're dying and there is nothing you can do about it except ask a friend to shoot you or do it yourself?

Man.

So I specifically said we'd try to avoid that. The last thing you want is people to have year long characters who won't do anything out of fear of losing their character.

Quite a lot of good and constructive ideas here.

jokes on you, some of us saved food in case the APC hit another mine

all you did was make us kings

wouldn't that just be HL2RP but with local refugee groups armed with whatever weaponry they can scavenge versus manufactured superalloy robot #847393920.

actually, wait a minute. that's the synopsis for FRACTURED.


I think you’re dense and @Subeh will back me up

terminator is a lot more then that

i was trying to create skyrim rp where you live in solitude/whiterun under imperial rule and can either choose to side with the empire or resist them and join up with stormcloaks who have a limited presence in the area. you'd also be able to train your levels in swordfighting/crafting/magic similiar to william's networks and can buy/ride horses.

the zone outside of the town have okayish loot along with some places where you can mine or collect wood but it remains pretty dangerous, filled with hostile creatures and any player who wants to mug you. there's also a few dungeons/tombs where there's high tier loot but trying to raid it is similiar to mugging a faction in hl2rp: extremely risky but high reward. normal commoners can make money by doing this kind of risky stuff, but can also choose to create their own business or work on the fields for land owners (similiar to workshifts) who are taxed by the jarl who are taxed by the empire. they can also do jobs for the jarl's court or become an official member of said court, which acts similiar to the CWU

skirmishes between stormcloaks and the empire happen in the form of events and players can choose to sign up as mercenaries for either side, for which in turn they get a set monetary reward if their side wins.

i gave up eventually because most of the features aren't easy to code and lua developers with experience who are up to do some work seem scarce, or i just couldn't find them. i think the concepts could be cool though

all roleplay is fun with conditions :grinning:

simple fact time

open world, survival horror servers that focus on atmosphere in any context do not work!!! (FRUNDTECH, FRUNDTECH 2, FRUNDTECH 3 (LOL) QZ WHATEVER)

reasons???? staff mutherfucking burn out....

if the server cannot have the training wheels removed and 'run', then it will not work

simply put, the walking dead rp would not work as a continuous setting because of 3 things

who spawns da zombies

who causes conflict when players inevitably form a supercluster

who injects scripts into the economy (CAN'T BE STAFF... AND CAN'T BE LOOT DROPS!!!)

this is all removed if it's not about the progression of equipment and instead about the plot, which alplands as achieved

how did alplands do it?

it was only a week long

players had the imminent arrival of a force that would genocide them

a mysterious plot that would be very hard to recreate in a TWD setting

general state of poverty amongst the players. conscripts had like 6 rifles but only a clip each, various dynamics played into eachother to deduce a state of "well, I'm too fucking scared we might lose and die to attack the escaped convicts, so i'm not going to bother (or resort to chemical warfare)

tl:dr unless its like an event thing no it will crash and burn and make people upset

also ya tnb terminator seemed pretty fun but making it have a guide or something would be better cus i joined and just wandered around bored for like an hour shit sucked
