Serious What is your dream serious roleplay server?

Some sort of gritty gang warfare server would be a hell of a server to enjoy, something along the lines of an environment akin to Gotham City where a hint of unrealism is added in (Maybe even Gotham itself to help establish wacky characters as well as have access to a fuckton of models to use on the server).

Utilising a large and grungy city map like RP_UnionCity and having players form crazy but outfit-themed gangs with almost zero restrictions on what can and cannot be done, alongside the local PD working with vigilantes.

Throw in a large amount of melee weapons/crappy handguns alongside getting access to PAC3 to make your character look absolutely fucking wacky and you'd be set for one hell of an engaging roleplay environment as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly given how the last WW3 turned out and what went on behind the scenes I can't say I blame anyone for wanting to kick the old concept to the curb tbh.

i'm glad it isn't

it would be an insufferable fuckfest of toxicity and shite

Players can't though.

Would love a metro roleplay game at some point
Not a source mod though.

Brings me back to Raycevick's metro video, 4A's original plan was to make a Metro 2033 MMO

What's this about players anyway?
Sure, there was toxicity. But those that broke rules were always taken care of, no?

Just about every issue we (I) had with ww3rp was related to players one way or another, the basic core of the gamemode only enabled certain player behaviour more

It didn't help that a good chunk of the staff team admitted to abusing in pretty bad ways after the server shut down (if you saw the thread at the time it was something of beauty really) and most of the 'broken rules' were done in ways that either couldn't get people banned because it was targeting or other shitty stuff or just generally a tight knit group supported by these certain staff members.

When the entire thing was built around S2K and your faction pushing the server plot via S2K it, as @Roosebud said, just pushed people to do shit to come out on top.

Makes sense. Although after all the other communities I've been through, most are PvE instead of PvP and this works out well in my eyes. But of course, this depends on the type of server it is and the lore. And, sure it might not get a lot of players as a PvP SeriousRP server would do, but fighting NPCs then RPing your injuries is actually really damn fun, given that the server has a set of strict rules, those revolving around: the way PKing works, the way you RP certain scenarios, etc. ( Easier said than done, but it worked out elsewhere. )

The staff team is a whole another story. In my opinion, this as well boils down to being more strict with rules and paying more attention to who you make staff might be, again, easier said than done, but there's no other way around it.

I'm no community manager, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Also I don't want this to turn into a debate thread or something btw. I just merely stated my opinion.

anything which is based around pvp to the extent that ww3rp was will reliably end up being an extremely toxic and competitive environment where people prioritize digits on their screen over letters and OOCly start despising the other side

no matter how many rules you make, how many people you ban, who you make staff

it will always end that way

s2k on roleplay servers is pretty gay

If you want old WW3 just play ARMA it's better

seriously

if the old style ww3rp ever was to return, it should return on arma not fucking gmod

arma ww3rp could be cool, there's certainly enough content on there to do it

doubt it'll ever happen on neb though, pretty sure there's some rule bohemia has on micro transactions or w/e that'd conflict with premium
