I want the Crussaria server back. If anyone else wants it aswell please like.......make yourself noticed below so we can get it unshelved, hopefully. Because I am not planning on roleplaying on any more Survival based rp's for a while. Consider this a petition?

Ah yes lets bring back the server that after several attempts of revival failed, this idea is fool proof.
We can hardly find any good roleplayers, not to mention the majority of 12 year olds on Gmod. It's just that nobody likes Medieval stuff.
Only pew pew and lazers and juggernauts yeah frking aliens n shit.
Crussaria was a fail, and it won't take long for Star Wars to take it's place.

If it was called Skyrim RP and not Crussaria I bet you it would have become popular

That's why
No people on the "Main" server, forget Fallout, which is arguably the "Second" server. Why would we bring back a third server again? Don't you guys ever learn from multiple servers splitting the player base that we don't have?
From all the "ZOMG Y U INACTIVE" Threads that have been popping up here and there, any sort of third server would be a terrible idea.
we should beat dead horses with a dead horse
makes sense
There were a ton of people that loved crussaria. Also, we won't be "Splitting" a playerbase that WE DONT HAVE ANYWAY. the reason we dont have that playerbase is because the survival rp's got boring. Idk about srp though, i never look at it.
HGN is dead, to me at least. Crussaria was the only thing that wasn't "Lets get gear, and kill stuff, watch a helicopter crash and loot it, i wanna loot loot." Though instead the new people in CRP said "Lets cut down trees and get a ton of gold" But that was it. Crussaria had drama for me, which had good roleplay. And there was hardly any gear, so it was mainly for roleplay. Crussaria had a fantasy setting which made it really free to make characters how you wanted them, not strict to being...omg another spetsnaz badass, or a wastelander who cant eat for the first day you play.
Goodbye HGN. Had fun roleplaying til i got bored of it and realized what it was.
Its sad, because that was easily the best server I've ever played on. My first few months playing on that server made me love HGN, and I came back daily just for the RP.
One of the people I talked to, ThY I belive, told me to try SRP, so I did, thinking it would be as good if not better. But, when I got there, there was nothing, anywhere, and this was while 10 people where on. I ended up walking around for 2 hours that day, and not getting a bit of RP. The next time I got on, I did the same thing for 3 hours, but I got 2 RP's. Both were of a mutant killing me and running away. That, made me sad. You worship SRP, but in my opinion, it is too faction based. There is no RP for anyone new unless they sign up into a faction. So, I happily stuck with Crussaria, for another 3 months until collage exams hit, and the server died off.
Whats even more sad, is how I see the community now... No one even considers the idea of having a server brought back, due to our already low playerbase. And the playerbase is lessening, because people are leaving, and they are leaving, because there isnt anything fun to do anymore. CRP Died, FRP is dying. I hate to say it, but this once amazing community I saw is not as great as it was. The community itself is dying, and I see very few reasons to stick around. Anytime someone has a suggestion, everyone bashes it and says stupid comments instead of talking reasonably and giving reasons why they dont like the idea. So, maybe one day, when HGN is back to the nice community I knew, then I'll start caring about the community... But when the community is like this, I see no reason at all to care or help anything about it.
I gotta agree with Chippy... So long, and thanks when you were a great community.
I laughed at you both.
"Let's bring back Crussaria even though our playerbase is low."
"I'm leaving because nobody wants Crussaria back."
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You just added to the problem.

Crussaria is gone ?
I want Mass Effect RP and want to rp a Krogan Scientist lul.
Everyone is just a damn whiner.
The lot of you who insult them are just assholes. Cru probably won't come back because every time we make a new server, shit gets popular for all of 1 day to a week, and then the mass population migrates to something else. RP in itself is getting boring and no matter what you do, it probably won't bring it back the playerbase we once had, or the amount of players the most popular servers have.
Honestly the most you can do is when you feel like RPing, grab a good group of friends and hop on the server. Maybe an admin to get things going, but thats it. Almost everything we have done has been exhausted and used up and theres no point on trying to revive it.

Finding RP:
Step 1: uninstall Gmod
Step 2: Find a group running a real table top game near you/on the internet
Step 3: Profit.
If you want RP that is the only way to go. Gmod doesn't have serious RP any more.
If you're 12 and want to gear whore, Gmod is still great for that.
I do rogue trader with friends on the weekends rarely, but the Warhammer Fantasy RP book is out....its a hefty 60 bucks I think.

That is still best rp.
I actually wanted to try out crussaria...
oh well.
I remember trying out Crussaria once, I was instantly knocked out with a blackjack item and robbed, after that I had my throat slit. The playerbase was horrible when I played it.
Dividing a small playerbase is a terrible idea, but even worse then that? Complaining about a lack of players then leaving... definitely counter-productive. From my humble experience as a one time admin on an SSTRP server, I can understand the problem with splitting an already struggling playerbase, it just ends badly and accelerates the guaranteed collapse of a community. (every community ends or will end, no exceptions) And those 12 year olds? They're 12 now, but guess what? They are the 13-21 year olds of the future, most of them get mature and pick up on how to spell and do da good grammars, so they are the future blood of RP.
I don't really know what the fuck I'm going on about now, but I like this community, really the Fallout RP here is all I go on anymore, and I'd hate to see the meager 10 people tops go down to an even smaller 4-5~ people...
/end rambling talk
My first day on Crussaria, I took part of a tournement won 10.000 gold, bought me a shack, some dragon attacked, I killed hte dragon, end.
lol.
I don't want Crussaria back. I spent so much effort producing the most active and developed faction (Just check the threads), to have it removed without my concent or even knowledge by the SV's.
Edit this so it is a poll.
My faction used to be active like yours once. . . But then I took a huge city map to the knee.
Play Aceon or Terraria RP if you want a very free RP environment. Crussaria is an unnecessary weight on HGN nowadays...
Aha, Crussaria. A big stain on my memory.
Yeah, I remember it, it would be nice to have back now that I don't have an Egocentric bastard who is trying to jam his dick into every mechanic of lore, just so he can get even more attention to his Demon family, it was nothing more than a gigantic cluster-fuck that was doomed to fail.
Plus, I'm not sure if the other guy still decides to poke his nose into business around here, but quite frankly; I couldn't give a shit, he was also part of the problem since he got in the way of efforts to try and fix up the server, and would always cause raging arguments with the Egocentric admin which got in the way of progress. The whole team was a fucking shitfest, but I was reluctant to speak out and protest since I just wanted the damn thing up to speed.
As I was told once, when we bring up a new server, we're not trying to otherwise divert the playerbase to a new server, we're trying to attract new players by showing something that looks promising to them, something that they could enjoy.
We weren't going to do that with what we had on the table at the time, it needed a /complete/ overhaul, but nobody could do that since every idea needed to be verified by the Supervisors, or we weren't capable of doing it since either our server/forum powers were limited, or the idea was just outright denied.
Now, I don't know about you, but I know that people jump to things that they recognize; People who liked HL2 and Stalker went to those roleplays respectively, but "|HGN| Crussaria is a unique name, it's only going to get the attention of the curious as opposed to someone who might look at something called "|HGN| The Elder Scrolls RP" and immediately jump for it because the first things that come to mind are Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim.
Fantasy RP is a really good standpoint for a server, but the point is this; we need to change a lot of things in Crussaria for it to work (Read: Gather attention and allow it to stick), or alternatively replace it with something that's recognized (E.G: TES RP)
Edit:
Oh, I still have my old title, how ironic. It's a shame I'll probably never get to use it again.

Crussaria wouldn't go well.
i joined crussaria, once, never again.
That's all I have to say on this topic, the lore was extremely overdone and just too complicated, people basically called me a retard because I didn't want to read 3 posts worth of information, so I'm saying no on this one, but I do agree with the idea SRP is way to main server/faction based, that's another topic though. And if you're leaving because you don't have your way, go ahead, I don't think myself or anyone else will want to or try to stop you.

I don't blame you. The lore was horribly written and was patchy anyhow. It only gave you a few things that barely helped at all, which is why we needed to fix it up. Heck, the Admin team that was active at the time even attempted to fix it, but the fighting going on between two of them prevented any work from being done. It died a tragic death shortly after.
Might I add, others shared the same opinion about the Lore.

I'm not going to say that which one is the best. I'm just going to say go with whichever one of these you're more comfortable with.

Just say Aceon is better already
My Opinion? Fuck Star Wars Roleplay, it sounds fucking stupid.
Crussaria had potential, it combined RPG elements and Serious Roleplay together, It felt good. But like most of the servers, they die off very slowly, like stalker roleplay. If it had a bit more attention and had more people working on the project, it could of came out of alpha and would of been a success. But of course, jump to new project, star wars, what a surprise. Why did Crussaria die off? Most of HGN's Regulars left, and in came the newfags that wanted something better. Then Star Wars Roleplay was born. I may be wrong about this, but it's my opinion and really, new people coming in and wanting something better makes the most sense.
In the end, Paintcheck's post made the most sense of this thread, Gmod RP is pretty much dead. If I had to Serious Roleplay again on Gmod, (which I can barely take seriously anymore) I would probably choose between Crussaria and Deadfall (yes Deadfall, it made my dick rock hard.)
Give an idea that when terribly wrong some time and everyone will hop on it's dick again.
Just like Vanilla World of Warcraft

I like how you manage to contradict yourself in both parts of your post. SWRP or other projects have no relation to Crussaria's death. The content for Crussaria we had was simply overwhelming. It was something like 5 GB? We didn't need more, but Silver kept focusing on making it unique by making more instead of advertising. Most of the people left because Crussaria had a bad administration and flawed policies. What newfags are you talking about??? The last sentences are just what.
Paintcheck stated that Garry's Mod is not a place for serious RP and you claim to completely agree with it. Yet you say that Skyrim or Zombie RP made by HGN could have a potential for actual serious RP you see outside of GMod?
Get your damn mind straight

Social interaction of murdering people from being too scared to converse with them.
