I don't see the point in trying to find something to blame, especially since it's not really any one big factor. It's easy to blame change, but you're ignoring that any change we did was a correction in response to any noticeable decline. FL hasn't really ever had proactive development, everything done was mostly always a reaction to a drop in players, and our corrections were usually quite successful considering how long we managed to keep it going for, even if a little short sighted.

I have constantly tried to warn of unwanted economy issues Etc. but it has obviously fallen on deaf ears. And I wouldn't say your corrections were "quite successful", I think that is a ridiculous statement worthy only of an American presidential election.

One of the things FL did well was catering for a wide range of players. While there were many players like you who enjoyed aggressiveRP many years ago, there were just as many like me who didn't really touch it until much later, and some who have never gotten involved.

Agressive RP has always been a major driving force on FL and a larger percentage if not almost all would play and benefit from aggressiveRP. Gundealers, BMD, contraband, Cop Raids, Pursuits Etc. etc. Saying that there were "just as many like you who didn't touch aggressiveRP" is just not true.

FL has always had a somewhat fragile balance between these very different groups of players, and I don't think we did a good job at maintaining that.

I don't agree, even when I was admin aggressiveRP was constantly shot down and people were banned for the most ridiculous things. It's a shame there is no fucking server anymore or we could at least test out this and see if different approaches would benefit the player retention and player count. Damn, you have really scorched shit up - we don't even have a server anymore.

I know what we're doing is a shot in the dark, and you've definitely made your opinion on some parts known. While feedback is important, I don't see a situation where you're ever going to be happy with our direction, at least given the discussion so far.

I don't think there has been a more important time to let your opinions be known, because FL is heading towards the ridge and into the abyss. At this point I might as well air my opinion, because it might be the last time I ever get the chance to judging by how things are going.

I suggest you open up an old version of the gamemode on a server and not worry too much about playercount.

Well said. AggresiveRP has always been important as the most fun and interesting parts of playing any government job were the police raids, crime, etc.

I wish there was a server to hop on even if the real development was happening behind closed doors on another server/gamemode. No harm in opening something just to let a couple of players hop and have a good time
