Cmon people, join already
EDIT: Also, inb4flame

No further comment on this.
Probaly because nobody bothers even thinking about joining except if there are 10+ players on it.
Ive noticed if I dont nag people to join, nothing happens.
When I did it today, we got a good while of people.
Summary, people are too lazy to join without people nagging them to death.
It's not dead! I've got a ride from Gates today in his new shiny bus. Epic!
People are just whining about how their guns keep disappearing. It's an old glitch you have to get used to. I'm not even sure if it's ever going to be fixed. Before people stopped coming, when I came on the server, just about every time someone was like "New gun please." Guys, you don't need guns to RP. If you need a gun, go play counter-strike.

Just an excuse for you to be lazy, amirite?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but 90% of the trade that goes on in the server is with guns.
You want to be a merc? You'd better have a gun.
You want to be a Militia? You'd better have a gun.
Want to be a bandit? You'd better have a gun.
Almost all of the populace has a firearm, and it doesn't help that half of the time there's some event where the CE start shooting at people.
/rant.
also, inb4 you don't need guns to be a merc/bandit, that's total bullshit and you know it.
That, and it's not admins jobs to have super god characters like some do..., but instead to help players with things like refunds, flags, and general admin business. Because all admins should know that Players Needs > RP
1. Take screenshot of inventory before you get off.
2. ??
3. PROFIT!!!
You don't need a gun to RP, unless you're planning to shoot someone. For the record, we're not lazy. You're just lazy to come to the server to get your gun. And if you need a gun to RP go back to CSS.
It's not that people NEED guns to RP, it's that they typically spend a lot of time working for one and to have it disappear is very frustrating. Before SRP's inventory got fixed I would have to deal with 15+ people asking for refunds of gear every day, and that's assuming there wasn't a server crash while I was handing out refunds causing more people to need stuff refunded.
I agree passive can be more fun (and often is more fun) than gunfighting. On my character all the RPs I've been in have been me fixing stuff. And it's awesome. But lots of people like faster-paced entertainment. Begrudging them that with you "You don't need a gun to RP" is not going to help player numbers.

Hahahahahhaa. Oh wow.
Sure, you don't need a gun to RP. But you need one if you don't plan on getting PK'd every time you join the server, or if you don't want to get robbed. I bet if we took the CE's weapons away, they wouldn't do shit.
Statement two. Oh fucking wow, that was dumb. I haven't been on the server for at least three or four days, because I've been gone. When did I join the server, get a refund, and then immediately disconnect? Never. Think before you speak. At least get some god damn facts.
And I would much rather play CSS than get raided by C.E. over and over again, getting completely raped because you guys can't STM.
Just as well I Inb4flame'd
Hey guize,
look at your little Amerkkka incursion in the middle east All im gonnna say.
You guys should stop whining, I have a fucking terminator after me for no apparent reason then ooc hate. And yea, on this server you need a gun to rp..
Almost everyjob that exists needs a gun to be able to do and the once that dont Lets say.. Mining, Get attacked by formanians all the time, so they still need a gun to be able to do a job that shouldent require one in the first place.
I have tried to make this point before and I kinda gave up really early but yeah, guns are kinda needed for this RP or the majority of it. And people do join a server and loose something the spent a few good hours to earn and then loose. I will have to agree with some of the HGN admins here.

It's almost like they havn't dealt with this situation before and vastle decreased the whining on the server by just fixing it.
Get a screenshot, show it to admin, get refund.
It'd be great if you'd all stop bitching and whining like 13 year old girls on their first period. Try making intelligent statements and offering idea's, not talking shit about the current system. If you don't have one to make then stfu and don't post anything.
This is most likely going to be discontinued, i have not talked to STAR in awhile and Afromana has left the project entirely. That is, assuming STAR wants to let the project go.

Well, there is still Jones, Col is having computer issues at the moment, so Jones is temporary in-charge, you should try talking to him about it
I can name pretty much every reason why no one is on. A large part of it is the lack of admins and activity and something to do on the server.(Meaning there is nothing to do in the server :\ nothing ever happens)

Unless this roleplay gets some new admins, I guess its done for.
StaR's computer broke.

Damn'd Planetary porn.
I think we can confirm, that the server is K.I.A
What action it died in. There is no action on DRP.
That is because there are no admins. Not to mention the script isn't even finished yet. So releasing it in beta with not enough staff or admins and an incomplete probably destroyed or tarnished Dese's reputation.
Dese is still in its "dark age", once the script is fully functional and stuff, then the population will pour back in

And who's scripting?....
Can someone put the server out of its misery already
There was loads of events going on, it's only when people stopped coming that the admins didn't want to bother making events for such a small crowd.
So, desertia actually died of because of the lack of dedication to it.
Yeah, shame really, I found it to be a good rp
Yeah, there was good rp. Everyone did fear rp and the majority of the server didn't act like a badass. Sadly admins left it to die.
New admins need to be instilled enless they're gunna let this die.
The only one that actually tried to keep desertia alive and was an admin, was Afro.
Actually there was a small group of people who tried keeping it alive, afro happened to be one of them, then it went further downhill till it was only me and froggy >:s
It should be only Afro as he always asked everyone to join.

Yeah. Afro was SFing like "Desertia, NOW, THAT'S AN ORDER SOLDIER !!!" so I came in because he was asking. You can make cool missions or something, but there aren't enough traders and if there are, they can't do anything without money, so if no paychecks, even 50 mesi an hour means no traders.
no money + no paycheck = the server has _ _ _ _ amount of money if you sum up the players money.
We attempted, we failed new admins get. Why is Star even running this if hes never around anyways?
His computer broke.
Fair enough, but still we need to revive this with a new set of admins since Afro left and the rest I don't know about.
Only Jones remains, hell knows where he is

Still we need a new admin team and we need to revive this.

Fffff
Everyone SF Silver until he starts to care about Desertia
Gah, hes not on my sf
WELEK, TAKE MY PLACE
IM WORKING ON IT
DAMMIT ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
TO THE ESCAPE PODS WHERE GOING DOWNNNNN
(Silver ignoring me T_T)
RED SIX
PULL UP
Silver only replies to my SF because he wants me to stick my dick made of money into HGN.
Desertia isn't Silver's project, that's why you won't get answers from him, although I guess he does control the server box so he could add new admins or whatever.
I think Silver doesn't control the server either, idk.

Desertia is not my project to lead nor do i take a interest in it is up to Col.Star but i have not seen him for over two weeks, someones said his computer is broke, that's why i have not removed nor upkept Desertia, im relying on him to comeback and see where this goes from there.
Hopefully he gets it up and running again
Why not get you guys who want it to live as admins, put in some script that works and just copypaste desertia over everything with ' hl2 ' in it.
We'd need to get some type of confirmation from someone to do anything. I guess right now it's just waiting for StaR to get his computer fixed or get on some computer... even if it's a library computer to just say hello, and tell us what next.
When Col's online, he doesnt do much Desertia related.
Last time I checked, he gave me and Jones permission to do anything major while he was gone, seeing I left, Jones got temporary complete control I would say.
Well, now Desertias officialy in the scrapyard section so
Not much future for it
