S.T.A.L.K.E.R Roleplay Population
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Guitar tracks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRRGYEFZF4A#)
It came to my attention that fewer and fewer people are roleplaying on the server and going off to other servers not telling what is the problem or giving any feedback. It is not Exile or us the admins that have to do something to make it better. We can make it better and we have the power as long as you, the players, give feedback and actually play on the server. There is many members in HGN. Many people on the forums. But somehow most of them I never see on the actual server and I don't understand why.
There used to be always about 10-20 people on the server and you would always find things to do. But what is happening now HGN? What is the problem?
Sure donor flags might not be ready, but we will get there eventually. It's a new script, a good script, with many possibilities. If we actually got on the server and roleplayed then we would solve problems. By populating the server people spot problems, issues, things that need changing.
We have the feedback thread and all of your issues and things that should be changed can be posted there. As Exile said he depends on the feedback you give him and giving some won't hurt anyone. You might wake up one day and see your idea in work and on the actual server.
Once we had an issue of too many mercenaries, then we had the issue of too many bandits. But in a way better that we have those issues than to have no one on the server.
Roleplay what you want people. You want to be mean overall and steal from other people, make them pay for passage or just want to be a sadistic bastard? Then be a bandit, form a gang. Passive with each other, fight with stalker clans and run away from major factions when you piss them off.
You want to be payed for fighting? You like to sit back relax and wait for a contract? Then be a merc.
Hate bandits? Hate mercs? Want to have fellow stalkers who survive day after day in the zone? Want to sit around the campfire sing songs and talk about how you are going to kick bandits ass? Do work for ecologists and find artifacts? Then be a stalker.
Don't want to be either of those? Then we have the major factions. But, the major faction leaders need to become active. If they don't want to, then why lead the faction? Take a look at our military leader, Doomburger. The guy is doing a fantastic job, there is always military on the server. Others are rare to see and in small numbers.
Want to kill mutants? Think the zone is a cursed place that will spread over the world? Hate bandits? Want to be a soldier who might save the world one day? Join Duty.
Want to smoke weed? Drink alcohol? No drills, no work, just relax and easy life? Join Freedom and kick Duty and Military ass.
Want to be a weird, brainwashed guy who worships the wishgranter and strikes fear into everybodies hearts? Join Monolith.
Want to stop people entering the zone , kill and capture everyone in the zone? Protect the people from the zone? Join the Military.
Or perhaps you prefer to lead your own men. Then make your own faction.
Don't forget about the ecologists, traders and mutants!
If you like to study mutants and artifacts, send people on jobs and stimulate the economy, then join the ecologists.
Want to supply the zone, give everyone the weapons to kill each other and get out with a lot of cash? Become a trader.
The main thing is, complaining won't get us anywhere. There's a person, editing the script. He's not doing it for him self. He's doing it for us. We, need to take the initiative and make the server a better place. Together admins and players can do it. Don't tell me how you haven't got the time. I'm sure all of you can dedicate at least half an hour and at least try. And now that stalkers have 90 RU paychecks aka "Salvaged materials" things have been made easier for them. Also the major faction paychecks have been cut down.
I said come in! Don't stand there!
I am just tired of the SRP Scene.. not what interests me anymore.

Well from my experience with you, you mostly played as a merc. Maybe it's time to try something else?
Like I said, taking the initiative and making it fun for everyone else is the key and all of you that are reading it at the moment , could be on the server populating it. That would make about 10-20 of us on it.
Out of my 344 total hours of playing Gmod, about 334 of them have I spent on SRP. In my opinion, it is an absolutly amazing server, with great people. However, as Dug said, with fewer and fewer people playing on the server, it can get boring to play on the server, since there is no one to RP with. Doomburger is also the most active player and faction leader on the server, I have ever seen. He should be a bright example to everyone. And yes, sure the new script has it's flaws, but complaining about won't help. For all I care, Exile is working on improving the script 24/7 and, as Dug stated, giving feedback would help him improve it even more.
One of the main issues that people stop playing on the server, is probably because of bad RP'ers. There are so many that don't fear RP, and act like a "super l337 ex-spetnaz soldier" that cannot be killed. I have so many times seen people leave the server, because people start acting like that. Come on people. Where is the good old RP, that I saw when I joined? Where are the friendly players, that would help new players? All those are gone now. Everyone has become selfish and aggresive towards other players.
It's no wonder why HGN has become such a hated community.
My point: Stop whining about the script, about the new players and for once be nice to each other. People constantly fight about even the most simple things.
That's all I have to say for now.
I loved playing the server and everything, but I just can't really serious roleplay. So i have moved to just regular Rp (Dark RP, Naval RP, Etc..)

Perhaps it's the influence of dark rp your used to other things than what serious role play is.

SRP isn't about passiving all the time, join Military, shoot everything on sight.
Or monolith in that case.
You can aswell as make a raid on bandits or whatever, you're not always bound to passive.
Dug's right. It us the community that has to help ourselves by giving feedback, I mean look at the bulk packages issue ( aka costco epidemic) everyone didn't like it and for a week the admin's told people to go on the forums and write a complaint. No one did, silver had to figure it out from the people complants on other complaints threads. Also Dug i have disagree the server mid day has about 10-20 people but after that not many.
ps. the music makes reading this calmer.
SRP is only populated by HGN members it kinda shows something about the sever.
That first post is all great and stuff but
"You can spend at least half an hour on the server" will not help you when paychecks are 90 rubles every hour.
"Be whatever you want and have fun" falls short when you can't afford anything.
"Be a bandit and piss of the factions" doesn't work when military has Skats, Grozas, and Vintorezes and you have at best an AKS74U (or more likely nothing at all)
The reason people complain is because they can't do any of this.
Look at who's on the server right now: They are ALL factioners who ALL have gear and armor. Every new player we have gotten recently has played for like a week and left, I know this because I helped 2 of them get the content pack. After a few days of playing they both SF"d me and said "Wow this server really sucks there's nothing to do" and left for good. And then I did that because it's boring as fuck and 99% of the time I get on and then get off to do homework because that will be more entertaining. Which is truly impressive that I have more fun doing homework than playing a computer game.

I am just tired of the SRP Scene.. not what interests me anymore.
As what Rook said, Nothing's new or different, Unique, Nothing...
It's just the same over and over again, back then SRP used to be pretty Unique with many Various Events and Nice Characters, since the Economy Crisis and Sloppy Characters, it's not even worth getting on anymore. I still get on, but not how I used to, Every-day, now it's to once in a Blue Moon...
As what Paint said too, There's nothing to do anymore. The First time I got on a few days ago, All I did was walk around and stare at rocks...
Pretty much what I'm trying to say: SRP is falling and everyone knows this...
There are bout 5 stalkers now and my stalker has 1k RU and an LR300. You are not doing it right. We also just had a nice event. Also If the military has too much crap, don't you think you should find out why?
Yeah, thats nice that older players are getting items and such, but Paint saying it should be easier for new players to get shit in a quick fasion rather than a "Wait for 1-2 weeks to get a simple makarov" sort of thing we got going, Since SA's cannot spawn shit and do events, Not to mention that Traders can't do missions AND afford to buy gear in 3-5 in bulk to sell to people at the same time, so theres 2 sources of money gone. The only way to make money or get shit is to either Farm for 5875892357 Hours. . . Which hounestly. . . Who the fucking hell does that? OR you can dedicate ALL your time to stash hunting and not RPing in order to get weapons, Which is also no fun. SO in short we have a HUGE map with mainly factioneers on, who won't fight due to wanting to keep there gear and not loose it and they end up passiving all day long, OR we have people like Quake who spend 24/7 stash hunting. . . End resault? No interesting RP
Well, you start of with 500 RU. And earn 90 RU by scavenged materials, not to mention junk laying around which you can get 1 RU for.

Not Complaining, but BITCHING. Where a Player has to take it to a Admin, then that Admin posts a Bunch of Shit about you in the Admin Fourms, then you have Two Children up your ass for as long as your in HGN, Story of my life. Wanna Switch Lifes?
No thanks, I like my admin. You should also stand up for your self, not let everyone else walk over you.

I said come in! Don't stand there!
Uh no, it actually is partly the admins fault, mostly because the the best admins are inactive, leaving only the shitty ones who care more for power, then actually helping the players, and posts by Duran in the hidden admin room about a, "1337 Speak" translator so he can understand the playerbase is so elitist, and not to mention fucking dumb, that it makes the admin team look like of bunch of posh asshats. Nobody is ever on because the economy is so fucked up the ass that it becomes a scrap hunt instead of RP, people would rather search the map for a 1 ruble worth scrap in order to buy a single after a week, that they don't even attempt to RP. Which I for one do not blame them for that, because honestly, what loner would want to RP with factions when all the factions act like elitists because they all get massive amounts of guns, suits, and money compared to the stalkers. The name of the server is, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RP", but there are no Stalkers RP'ing which I find to be incredibly ironic. The script is so focused on the factions that it could be called, "Flying Nigger Banana Shit", and still have the same relevancy to stalker that it does at the moment.
That's completely incorrect, I've joined five times this week, and everytime the server was full of AFK's farming paychecks to try and get a gun, or people being completely seriousness, and fucking around. Three stalkers were RDM'ed by a Dutyer yesterday because he got, "Bored", after finding nothing else to do.
It's an overused worn out script that is currently being used by everyone, and their grandma, and Last Exile, being the hypocrite he is, did the same thing Infusion Gaming's Fallout RP did. Rename some items, add some stats, change some models, and factions, then immediately rename the script, and say they developed, and designed it.
We have a Dev Server for testing things out that has never been used since Porcupine left.
We've all suggested Fallout, and Curssaria RP to Last.Exile, the only ones that actually kept people on the servers, but instead of just saying, "I can't do those", he says he will, then just ignores it forever. Which by the way, has happened three times for FRP.
Mercenary, and Bandits are fucking obsolete because of the economy, what the fuck is a bandit going to steal when no one has any fucking money, or items? Same with Mercenaries, who is going to pay them for jobs if no one has money?
Same as above, bandits can't be role-played until the economy is fixed, and items start to actually circulate through the server.
Be a stalker? More like be a target dummy for all the factions that STK on sight like Military, and Monolith. How are you going to, "Kick bandit ass", without any weapons.
I won't even talk about the faction parts, because they are what's killing the. "Stalker", aspect of the RP.
Freedom - Soap Opera of E-Drama, and the child RP, a fucking baby in the zone that everyone QQ's over? That's stupid, a baby in the zone would be dead of radiation poising in the blink of an eye because of their body mass.
Duty - Militarized, and piss boring, and not to mention to much like a real military, it's not about fun anymore it's about drills, and guarding the base for six hours straight while you farm paychecks.
Monolith - STK on sight, no actual RP with enemies, and not to mention some of them don't even know Stalker cannon thinking the guass gun is a laser, and that the monolith all dream of being bloodsuckers, and get this, they actually RP starving, and having to cannibalizing stalkers, and raid stalker bases just for food. That is fucking dumb as hell, the monolith shouldn't be RP'ing as fucking beggars.
Military - Pretty good if they RP with their enemies
About Bandits, I loved banditing, but you can't even be one without faction interference.
And that sort of narrow minded thinking ruined SRP.
You guys have to try something before you give up on it.
Stashes are being placed lately.
Stalker being target practice? No.
My stalker has an LR300 and a stalker clan.
The stalker clan is well equiped and doing fine.
Also, who would bother you while banditing when there is duty in completely an other sector, military doesn't care, mono doesn't care and freedom is rare.

Oh big man has an LR300, one stalker, with one weapon. Clearly the economy is saved.

Military apparently cares, Duty has interfered randomly at some times, and freedom happens all the time.

I think all this threads dont explain much but the obvious things. Until the script gets sorted out economy, admin commands, and other shit. Then shit might work out ok. It is the hgn's Great depression almost.

Yeah, some people need to take their hand out of their arse and start doing things, i develop, it's not my job to admin or create events, it's the admins job and it's the players job to get on, enjoy that and take part in roleplaying.
HGN has seen worse times.
I placed 3 Mp5s and a few markovs today around the map... Out of my own doom fort military paychecks. I try to do events, but always ends up with not enough help or a server crash.
Yeah, Paying for events out of pocket is annoying, Admins need commands for spawning shit so we CAN do our jobs.
Dug it's great you and your Sanctioned friends have guns from Midnight's constant stash farming, but clearly that is a minority. I don't have a gun on my "bandit" (in quotes because there are no STALKERs to rob since I won't rob new players for obvious reasons and there aren't any old players with anything worth taking/aren't metagaming my bandit group from 9 miles away, although now that shipments got removed I could actually afford a gun finally), Bto didn't have a gun on his stalker, the 3-4 new players who tried the server for 3 days and left all didn't have guns (which is why they left). "Narrow minded thinking" is one thing "Being bored" is something else. Even with stashes to find it's not any fun. You still end up wandering around doing nothing but looking for stashes as opposed to wandering around doing nothing. It's still boring. Plus since The Sanctioned guys find all the stashes it's very likely the stash any loner would find would also be found by a Sanctioned dude with a gun who might claim the stash as his own. Then you're SOL.
I'm astonished there's 21/45 players on the server right now.
And it could be that maybe I have the wrong attitude but I've spent 887 hours on Gmod. ALL of that is in STALKER RP, either from the old ZoneRP.net server that predated HGN (which is why I bought Gmod, to RP on that server) or from HGN (which is the vast majority). A lot of that time has been spent admining so maybe I feel kind of like I should be entitled to more than I am currently getting after all the work and time I have put into this server. Is that the wrong attitude? Possibly, but 887 hours is about 5 weeks of time as well as the 16 and a half days I've spent logged onto these forums. So you can see how I might be upset by this I hope.
It's OrangeReal and Midnight that get our guns. OrangeReal is a trader. Other than that. We did great today guys 20+ , lets keep it up. Paintcheck , my stalker clan , simply indicates you need to organize your self a bit better.
Midnight I just lucky I suppose that he finds stuff.

Which is great for you but saying "sucks to be you" doesn't fix my boredom problem. "Midnight is lucky" also doesn't fix my boredom problem. Saying "Do better" doesn't fix my boredom problem either.
You are doing that slavering buisness. Need guns? Get your guys to donate paychecks, like everyone else. Scrap trash.
Except we don't GET paychecks, or didn't until very recently. And there's no one to slave/rob/sell slaves to (and robbing always sucks because like Pawx said people whine or metagame or powergame and my group will not rob new players for obvious reasons). And being a loner is boring because there's no mutants/bandits/anomolies/artifacts to interact with. Being in Duty is boring, I have been in Freedom for 90% of my time here so I don't want to do that, and military is just as boring as Duty.
I don't think you can call this "closed minded".

I think you should actually get on the server now, because 90 RU is actually helping. I made a lot by those paychecks. But if you want to stay in denial then go ahead. I've been only playing for the weekend I managed to get a lot.

Dug Gmod Past 2 Weeks: 28.5 hours and most of that was this weekend right?

Lol. How can an SA abuse his powers when he can't spawn anything?
Oh and yes, I punched someone in order to warn them(two times, it's like an equivalent to a slap command).
Health regenerates and no harm was done.
Either way, stop being a moron.
Also for Paintcheck, I get on during the evenings and I've been on during the weekend.
Not my problem you can't earn jack shit and don't want to even try to do so.

You flamed me.
You picked me up with a physgun, and slammed me into the ground killing me.
You punched a player twice and said it was a, "Warning", even though it's DM.
None of that is how an SA should act.
I did try to do so. But there's no way to do so. Farming paychecks? Yeah real fun, I think I'll go watch the grass grow outside next to complete my weekend. Or maybe argue with people on the forums instead. So much fun to be had doing that...oh wait no. And I couldn't even do that if I wanted to 2 weeks ago because there were no paychecks. And I also tend to be busy on the weekends when Silver would be on at a time that coincides with mine. Last week I was in Virginia playing water polo all weekend and getting drunk with the team. This weekend my parents came 3000 miles to see me at school. Real life is more important than Gmod and it shouldn't require such a sacrifice of my time to achieve anything.
Finding stashes? Stashes only exist when Silver is on. Silver wasn't on when I was. So yeah not my problem. Don't act like it's somehow my fault that no money was had when I was on for a comparable amount of time over the last two weeks as you were, I just happened to have the bad luck to do it when there was no point to.
TBH I wonder if any of you guys have lives
Tonight was alright 25 people on, several faction events and lots of stalkers on.
Like it would ever happen again
Im taking a break, when RS3 came out I just needed a break, dealing with so much monolith bullshit along with my busy IRL schedule could not be done... I hope to return soon.
Everyone should think positive and follow my advice. Get on the server, take initiative, Exile is fixing things.
There are discussions about SAs getting their powers to spawn stuff. Economy is getting back on it's feet.

Instead of sitting around on the forums and being so god damn negative, why not throw out some ideas and actually say somthing useful for once dude. How about instead of everyone complaining that no one has anything, get up and do somthing about it. Lone stalkers may not be doing so well becaues of the sole fact they are alone. Dug's group is doing decent because its a bunch of guys helping each other out. Major factions are doing decent because there helping each other out. My idea is to get people to work together. Groups need to be made or stalkers need to join groups. Or hell, you don't even need groups you can just have a buddy with you at all times. 2 heads are better than 1, and with 2 people you can accomplish much more. 2 people are attacked less, get more done and often stand better chance in combat than a loner. Also, major factions such as Duty or Freedom can give out minor recon jobs or ask stalkers to aid them in a fight and pay them. Just because major factions are still getting money to buy themselves exos and FN's doesn't mean you can't dish out some cash to the loners. Besides, the major factions all atleast have some sort of weaponry. Loners do not.
Im on the server atleast a few times every week and i've got all I want. My point is, sitting around complaining isn't going to get you anything and it isn't going to aid the economy.
Another thing it doesn't hurt to do is actually ASK if anyone is up for Loner RP, too get a reaction. Whenever Im on, I split my time between my Stalker and my Militant. When using my Militant, if Im up and asked "Hey would you be up for switching to your Stalker?" I do it unless Im -actually- busy, which with so little going on, isnt very often. Which means 'Oh hey, Deity is always ready to RP with people.' And its true. I might be one person, but one can lead too many. So use that thing in your skull a little more from now on.
Guys, do you hear that?! It sounds like this topic is nothing but a post whores paradise! Think about it, if you dislike the servers population, you ask people through SF to hop on so you can role-play with them. Making a topic on the forums about this shit has never gotten anything done in my opinion. Honestly, how many topics are exactly like this?
Edit: Also, if you aren't on the server and you are complaining about this, stfu. I'm not on the server currently because it is my break time. My small vacation... With Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Uh I have been, Silver's already said he'll look into some of the ideas I pitched him, which will help the economy, and boost RP.
Dug group isn't doing well because they are grouped together, but because they just sit on the server all day whoring weapon spawns since Dug can observe, and camping known scrap spawns. Clearly Dug's group is full of expert RP'ers.
[sarcasm]Oh, and I like how you think, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RP", should focus more on the faction, then the actual stalkers.[/sarcasm]
First of all ,stop making stuff up, because clearly you do not know what the fuck you are talking about.
Second. I'm never whole day long on the server. I get on during the evenings along with the rest of my stalker clan.
Third, I have never abused noclip so far and I'm not planning to.
Forth. We have a trader and Quake. The trader buys stuff for us, and Quake finds shit because he's a lucky bastard.
Fifth, if you can't organize some people to work together to a common goal, you should have your brain checked.
EDIT: Ping Pong this thread worked , 20+ players on the server yesterday.

None of whom had read this thread.
And Dug clearly flying out of observe to punchwhore someone for insulting you, and physing me to death while in observe are not abuse. Clearly.
Dug, why so arrogant. Your claiming that by making this thread, you single handly are saving the servers population, even crediting the 20+ players we're only on because they gazed upon this threads contents.

Pageking
Also lol'd.
It was a nice gambit Dug, but unfortunately I had taken screens of it.
This is getting pathetic.
No names. My name isn't on it. I did punch him, and I admitted that. Who actually physed you all the way was Ravanager. Because I was on my bloodsucker, next to you along with Kieck. I actually tried to put you down. It is also funny how you think it was all me, because no one can see admins name if they are in observer. Hell, no one can see players name unless they recognize them with F2.

So dug how come when I asked if you physed me you said ravenger did but rave said you did it to which you replied damn rave. Sorry for the bad grammar im using my phone
I didn't rage at all. I said "Lol I didn't." And was standing right next to you with my sucker.
I would consider punch whoring someone for simply calling you a tard is raging.

There was no other way of warning him or punshing him so, I just did it.
When I do rage, I leave the server and steam off.

You could have
And be ready for this
Said don't insult players or admins through a textual warning like your supposed to do.
I remember telling him OOCly to stop it. But he kept on going. Besides, I could have kicked him for spamming ooc according to the rules, and basically kick didn't work, so the punch came in handy.

After multiple warnings dug you should reread the rules
I really see no point in this anymore. You are being annoying for merely two punches. So keep on spamming and making this whole thread lolzy. I won't post a single thing in here any longer. Because this is pathetic as Bielecki said.
This thread was on topic. And now it isn't. Take it to SF like normal people please or to the proper admin complaint forums.
Now since Dug has stopped bracing about his faction and that its our fault for the server economy being tucked up we can talk about. Ideas. Silver has told.me he may implement the new admin command. /goodrp name which would give players rubles for RPing well. Ideas like this will increase RP over scrap finding. Another suggestion would be totally redoing the scrap system by randomly spawning artifacts in areas with script spawned artifacts but in order to make this work traders would have to make money off it. So let's say you sell an artifact to a trader for 8000 rubles well then the trader should be able to sell the artifact in there trader menu for 12,000 rubles.
Two branches of admins would be incredibly helpful for the current situation and create a balance of power. The regulators would be the admins who could ban and kick and overall moniter the server. While the event admims would be the one with the secific job of creating events and stashes and overall promoting of RP. If two different branches in charge of this the server would see a lot more events and less fighting between admins.

Pretty much a good idea, although on the artifact spawns, people would get idea where they spawn, then camp for artifacts in it, sell for profit, and get a Sunrise after let's say, 4-5 artifacts.
Which is why admins being able to rp_createitem <artifcat> works better than actual spawn nodes since players can't camp when the artifacts only exist by admins placing them. Granted some spots will be popular artifact spots but it won't be as bad as camping known locations.
The solution to the camping is the anomaly idea, a large dangerous anomaly field would be between you, and the artifacts.

Maybe we could spawn a crapload of anomalies and put an artifact in between?

Except then people will physgun the the field and grab the artifact. It doesn't matter if the artifact is invisible, people will see the field and assume one is in there then physgun the fuck out of it. Yeah you could just remove the physguns from people caught doing it but the damage will be done if they get any artifacts at all

Make it so artifacts can't be physed.

This would work out VERY well, and would help the econmy alot. Good suggestion.
take toolgun, weld artifact to ground.
But it shouldn't be made easier either way. You would know by going in there you risk everything you have. If you manage to get trough the stuff, good for you.

What do you mean made easier? The anomaly fields will be scripted in, I.E. Silver placing the co-ords for the anomalies to spawn, and artifacts randomly spawn in the middle.

Your already "late" with your idea's btw plunger, ive already been coding a seperate artifact system based on the trash system. It's in no way done yet as i have to develop the parameters on how the artifacts spawn at the spawner, when and what type.
I will be implementing that little idea about rewarding good roleplay.
I need help.Eversince when the server left rp_apocolypse i cant play on the server,it just crashes.If anyone can help me please ill appreciate it very much.Please help i really miss playing on SRP.
Post in the proper forum and be specific, at what point does it crash at, does it give you an error message etc
Lower all the expensive items prices by say 30% for a month or so, so people can buy stuff and make profit off of it, and yet still get high level items circulating within the economy.

No because that punishes players who aren't on in that month and also breaks the economy when a bunch of the people who spend 10 hours a day on SRP take their paychecks and buy FN2000s for their entire faction.
