Locke's Idea For S.T.A.L.K.E.R Roleplay: More Than One Server

[Locke]

The Main Idea
Here is my main idea, I think that our S.T.A.L.K.E.R Roleplay experience would be much more realistic if we were to

 have two servers, each with different maps. One server would be not passworded, and anyone could be free to join. This

would be the server for new players, where they could learn how S.T.A.L.K.E.R Roleplay works, and how to do so. The

weapons you would find here would be Pistols, shotguns, and weak automatics like the Mp5. The area would be named

"Cordon" like the area in the game. It would be dominated by loner factions and bandits in most areas, along with military at

some other areas. This place would offer simple missions for new S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs, and plenty of bounty for bandits. The second

area would be deeper in the Zone. There would be three main bases, one for Freedom, Duty and a non designated base for

who ever would need it. What would make this other server so unique, would be that it would be passworded, and the only

way to acess it would be to walk to a special area in the first server, a crossroads to different parts of the Zone. First, we

would start off with just one extra server, and eventually we could even add another server, and another area of the Zone.

This would greatly expand our community, and make the roleplay even more realistic.


To acess the Zone's different areas, you would need to go to a guide, or to a road leading to another area. Then a menu

would open up, asking you if you would like to switch to the other server. You would then connect to the IP of the other

server, and spawn where the road you took leads out. These areas would be completely neutral, and anything you had

equipped, would be sent to your inventory. Spawnkilling here would be punished. To be able to go to the new area of the

Zone, you must apply for a Zone pass, in which you apply on the forums, and a senior member has to vouch that you are an

able Roleplayer.This would make it so that where there are more responsibilities and possibilities, only the experienced

Roleplayers would be allowed. The map would be devided into obvious territories for the factions to control.

With these servers intergrated, we could have more people, and a more realistic setting.


Still a work in progress.

Hm... I can see what you?re getting at, but if people have the same problem I have (going onto a server, then switching to a new one causes g-mod to crash) then no one would be able to leave the n00b server. This also would not be needed due to sectioning off the maps via tunnels and portals. (Have it like SoC with mili guarding the portal out of n00b central)

The other problem is... funding for more then one server, we need money for stalker RP(to increase player slots) due to the high demand for it, reason I think HL2 rp should be dropped (no one goes on it since SRP is up)

Multiple server would be nice, but funding is a issue, we can barely keep stalker up as it is now, let alone another server, and the problem about that also, is that the servers use datafiles, and not sql, so there would be issues tranfering the player data across.

Not true about our hl2rp sector.. alot of people go on it, it's just when Kirill was running it, he failed, becuase of his troll ways, so no one wanted to join.

This could work like the sassilization server, Military NPC's or something could be placed at the server inter-change zones and a pass (provided by admins) would allow you to move servers. We could have maps made like cordon and garbage or whatever! :D

[Locke]

That is where I got my insipiration from, the sassilization and lounge servers :P

[Royz]

First time a read this, I dreamed of a future of HGN that was more Stalker-ish.

[Laferio]

As soon,  As we get DONATIONS. Where do you people think the money comes from?

[Strelok Holmes]

... Artifacts being sold to drunk canadians and french?

[Hotstarr]

I don't really get the point of server change zones. Just add both servers to your favorites, and know the pass for the other. Also, more slots will cause more lag, while more servers will cause more need for donations. But for both cases, we need donations.

Not only that, but I see a couple of other problems. Let's say the first server is down, or it's full. Now, if the only way to acess the other server is to get to the server change area in the first, you'd be out of luck. Not only that, but what if the second server is full or down? If that happens, the first will fill up, and nobody would be able to join.

And, here's an idea of mine, if this thing gets working. Being able to OOC chat and radio chat with the people in the other server. Like say, /ra is for everyone in your faction that's in your part of the two servers. /rb could be for everyone in your faction in both servers. If /rb is for the other server you're not in, then /rc could be for both servers.

If the locked and not locked server idea were implemented, I would actually start playing again.

SILVER. DO IT. NOW.

DUCKY. NUFF SAID

[Cobra]

I support! Now let's rob a bank to get funding. (My jokes are fail)

[mrd]

Also, another suggestion. Use my weapons base >_______>

Weapon Jamming + Sprinting = More STALKERish

[Locke]

Yeah, I think that you shouldn't even be able to fire your gun at all while sprinting.

Also: Nice avatar ducky, makes me all hot :|
