Serious The Downfall of WW3RP: From the perspective of one of the common folk

[Anti-tankspy]

Truly if we simplified the game mode and allowed the roleplay to remain that, simple, it would work

this is actually true because that was what NXTGEN did

clockwork, old guns, PMC playermodels even if it was a shorter time period, and it worked out surprisingly well

believe me when I say that the first month or two, there was next to no staff intervention. things happened in the server and it was all the playerbase. conflicts always happened, interaction with the other faction besides s2k was common, ncos were somewhat creative, and it was all going well

what fucked it is the community owner's terrible decisions, this seems to be a common problem with all ww3rps

It’s not difficult to tell people to not be autistic

it's not that it's difficult it's just the inevitable fact that some people will never change

and when you call out said people you always get hit with the excuse of 'B-B-B-BUT NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO DO IT!!!1!!' in a community where hundreds if not thousands of people used to play and use that to put people with room temperature iq in important positions

it's just how it is, you can make ww3rp with any formula you want and it has a high chance of working regardless because besides the militaryrp servers, you'd have no competition. it's just a matter of knowing what to do bro

community owner's terrible decisions

And the retards that were allowed back in and weren't dealt with when told

This is very true. This new time around I thought people would change or have a more grounded perspective as to what decisions to make or just how to behave...

Yeah..

Its fascinating that since 2016 some mentalities still remain. I think this is one of the bigger issues as a whole, imo

 

[mårten]

i like how this thread is also part confession about how @Anti-tankspy either isn't a very good writer or is generally lazy as a roleplayer and im not sure which is worse to admit here, like a huge section of the OP is dedicated to explicitly outlining application plagiarism

@Anti-tankspy is a good boy and was very genuine in last ww3rp

It’s not difficult to tell people to not be autistic

you can tell a monkey to not fling shit but it's not gonna listen to you
these people have turbo-autism unfortunately, not much you can do about it

The thing is, why would they change?

They like WW3 because they can shoot shit while chatting with their mates on voice, and the worst offenders didn't bother to stick around the community for other things they don't play (understandably), so what 'loyalty' do they have to anyone elses experience here? Imo that's why you had so many people even in this most recent iteration laughing about abusing shit again before they left.

At least with HL2RP you are there primarily to roleplay and, generally speaking, the HL2Rpers had to evolve with the times. By contrast the worst offenders from WW3RP basically just stepped out of a time capsule each time the server popped back up.

I guess it's something close to constantly stepping on the same stone. I don't know, somewhere in my logic I thought that there would be some actual change and, well. I think the foremost step would have been to avoid such things but it gets hard specially when you have all the old circles around who for some reason keep popping up.

I mean these are specific cases a lot of others did mature but it's a shame that it always returns to this. But I think it comes down to the direction, many of those same people get positions of power which never ends well. Its a hard chip on the shoulder to shrug off I guess

You’re right, WW3RP suffered from a lack of interest from its staff, some terrible decisions by its community manager in charge, and overall a poor mindset by the players

The leadership in both factions is the same with how cops use to be ran on HL2RP and even some rebel groups, but since civilians were the focus on HL2RP it wasn’t exactly widespread

WW3 never use to be primarily about shooting, it was actually about roleplay

The only thing that initially changed was the community it was brought to

 

['77 East]

some terrible decisions by its community manager in charge

this is pretty much universal

like back in the day people complained about toasty a lot even after he left, they were doing in on the hl2rp subforum even

WW3RP suffered from a lack of interest from its staff

overall a poor mindset by the players

right on the money with this though

knew it was pretty much running off a cliff when roose was relying on polls that were filled with people voting who never joined the server / only showed up on the forums to whinge (and hadn't been on since the iteration before).

charge
attack
fire at will
kill them all

 

[mårten]

and overall a poor mindset by the players

i would say it was a small clique of players that had a really poor mindset that were good friends with leadership of either faction, which led to these small numbers of players getting positions of influence that then spread negatively to the rest of the playerbase which was easily impressionable

WW3RP will forever be a core memory for me, I'll never forget the warcrimes committed with my buddies, the intense medRP (such as transplanting a liver once) and the pot smoked in hidden spots.
