How to make Fearless great again

[Agorith]

Any chance we could get an update on whether the player amount has increased or decreased since the creation of this thread?

It's pretty obvious it's increased lately, if you keep tabs on this whenever you're on the forum:

I find the biggest flaw in the server is the economy. After a couple hundred hours of playing, or a few dollars out of your real life wallet everything is handed to you on a silver platter. If I can farm 2 million dollars with absolutely no effort I kind of lose interest in the server as I now do not have to work towards anything. I can buy any gun, any car, anything off the market, and do whatever I want. Maybe switch the V2D server to an actual "Serious" RP. Make people struggle to survive, to buy food, to live etc. FL lately is just too boring.

The server has little to no passiveRP anymore. I don't see people building nightclubs, casinos, autoshows, food markets, seperate cities (The industrial days on V2D). This server is nothing more than screwing around and raiding. I really love FL, I have for the past few years and I haven't been able to find another RP server to fill its spot.

Whatever happen to days like this?

That was a great Event! #RescueTeamOmega

+1 - You either play as Government or do /job Criminal as a Citizen now a days.

Add a requirement for becoming Police Officer. People need like 4h playtime on the server before becoming one. I think PoliceRP is the most favored roleplay style from newcomers.
They wouldn't just disconnect because they don't understand the gamemode. They would try to reach 4 hours and within this 4 hours, they will probably see how everything works, enjoy something else than PoliceRP and will stay with Fearless.

Completely agree with the above (for some reason Quote doesn't work?).

The main argument against limits is that "they won't learn unless they try it". However, this will instead stop all the complete newcomers who just join the server, go police and start RDM'ing everyone they see. 4 hours is a good amount of time. Those that want to play seriously can easily achieve this, while those that join just to troll will most likely have quit/been banned before they even reach 4 hours.

I thought police always had a 4 hour limit anyway?

The limit was removed a while ago, Zecon.

Good point, but in my experiences, I've seen some new players with less than 3 hours role play better than some people with over 300. I think that we should allow them to have the freedom of being able to Police RP as long as they can do it properly. And IF they were to RDM the whole server, you could post a PR or call an available staff member to deal with it.

I believe everyone is circle jerking 'the good 'ol days', remembering the good days but wear rose tinted goggles. FL was not perfect then, I'm talking 2012-2013. This was yes, probably the best time for FL, but also there was a huge content drought and DDoS attacks daily.

I believe people need to take off the rose-tinted goggles because even "Back in the day" people were screaming at the top of their lungs "Fearless is dead."

More event RPs that encourage everyone in the server to participate, yeah fuck it, go back to the old V2D.

Fix shitty roles no one plays, encourage PassiveRP by rewarding passive RPers RP points more frequently.

We NEED a better system to teach newcomers. We have a lot of minges and young kids, and these kids aren't going to sit down and read all the rules. Maybe a video to educate them? I talked to one kid that kept prop pushing me and being a minge and he didn't realise what the server was like, that being said, I haven't seen him since I spoke to him. Firefighters are practically useless.
Black Market Dealers are a waste of space.

I spoke to a former admin I won't say who just in case it inflicts more flame war but if the staff are serious about making FL great again, don't hype shit up and get nothing done.

I personally want to see exactly what's going on, more talking and sharing. Hell if something is in development, tell the community your ideas and listen to feedback early on. Show bi-weekly progress reports, and for god sake fix this forum please. It needs an extremely big overhall. It's just so ugly, and everything now-a-days is minimalistic and sleek.

I know people don't often agree with my opinion and that's okay but this goes for everyone, don't shut someone else down for your opinion differing theirs.
