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.>Me finding out that current WW3RP won't be the same as the WW3RP before it.
Believe it or not, I prefer the old concept much more than the current concept. I know people like it and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a personal opinion on the matter to be honest. Back when the server was just about to shut down, I was always on it along with one or two other people (that I think were also Staff at the time, kind of like me), but nothing really happened, as expected.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

Everything can be fixed.i'm glad it isn't
it would be an insufferable fuckfest of toxicity and shite
What's this about players anyway?Players can't though.

Sure, there was toxicity. But those that broke rules were always taken care of, no?
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. )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
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.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.
I miss listening to kino in the mess hall thoughi'm glad it isn't

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 sideMakes sense.

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.
s2k on roleplay servers is pretty gay
seriouslyIf you want old WW3 just play ARMA it's better
If it was to return, It's not bad if it returns on Gmod, but at least it should be PvE or something.seriously
if the old style ww3rp ever was to return, it should return on arma not fucking gmod
