Is Metagaming even that useful in gta rp? Everyone's already talking to one another and have access to phones and radios. You can literally avoid the hassle of "Metagaming" by using in game tools lmao
Metagame isn't likely to be much of an issue when the main incentives won't exist to do it as opposed to other servers honestly.
easier to launch discord before you launch the game, doubly so when you're in a conversation beforehand
or like me, where you're the only person whom you knew and speak to regularly that actually played roleplay
wait until cops are allowed to overhear these things or rules regarding pulling out radios and phones mid combat or some y'know 'balance necessities' come in
this doesn't just happen in hl2rp the cheese tactics regarding these items will get called out and then discord will get prevalent
somewhat
creates a lot of work to have to try zoning out metagame instead of just having a baseline stance of 'try not to, but whatever'
easiest option is to provide everyone a radio, or keep the price insanely low to create a 'zero-excuse' scenario
still difficult to topple when everyone launches discord before a game or needs to share their radio code
