What is HC-RPG?

[Teddy]

Hello,

After some input, and suggestion by Ronnel I have decided it's time to split our "light" RP server and branch to an optional hardcore "serious" RP server.

HC-RPG will run a modified version of RS5.1, will get most updates RS5.1 does along with security patches and technical patches. It will however have modifications, additions, and of course removals that gear this system to a much more seriously level of RP.

I plan to have this ready in September.

Ye lets kill the other server...whats the point? Why not integrate this into the server we already have?

[Teddy]

There are people who want hardcore rp, there are people who want light rp. We have the resources to run both and have every intention of catering to both. Right now we cannot cater both within a single server.

Splitting 40 players is not good.

I really like the initiative but its not something we should do atleast not now. This will be a disaster for the SA:MP Community in Argonath. People want active progress. There is no point in creating a "hardcore" server.

As said in the "Hosted Tab"-topic. Choose your side. You don't have the player base to do both, nor do you have the possibility to have a mix without being out of the ordinary.

 What I personally view Argonath RPG(SA:MP) is a -Free- Roleplay server, which means that the players are free to roleplay however they want, be it hardcore srs real life or light roleplay with elements of freeroam. Splitting the servers will just lower the playerbase and make unnecessary complications...Just think of the new admins that will have to be recruited and all the time spent by people to build up a srs RP thing going on will just be demolished and we'll have to start all over...

Is it really needed?

The player base will be entirely separate for both. As evident, most people playing Argonath SA-MP now, as Captain Ignorant said is roughly 40 players. Those are mostly people we figure will have the least interest in actual RP. In this server, we will promote to more people outside of the community seeking to join a more serious server with very strict ruleset.

Actually it's a good idea, give it a try if it didn't work other things can be worked out.

We cannot make the current server hardcore RP. Foundational it's wrong. It's how Argonath got started, it's in-fact the entire reason got started. So, a lot of you complain about waiting more hardcore elements and we spend our time figuring it out.

I don't think you guys understand the stress I've been placed under trying to decide what should and shouldn't go into the SA:MP server, and then getting nothing but shit either way.. "oh this is too serious, oh this isn't serious enough".

Is this really needed? You decide. I'll add a poll.

[Axison]

You might as well create another server with RS4 on it.

[Cofiliano]

Don't do it, it will completely whipped out the Community.

Just keep on improving SAMP main server, and focus all your resources/time/energy into that.

Just curious, have you considered in opening a light roleplay server, and developing the current active server into a bit more serious one?
Even that would be a better solution, since its not some imaginary new players complaning about the lack of roleplay, yet the active ones.

Gather more scripters. You shouldn't need to make all the decisions yourself. Its better to have a team of scripters who collectively decide whats better and what not and ofc input form community.

It would be roughly the same wouldn't it?

The choice ultimately comes down to me, the lead scripter. I try to make the best choice but honestly.. I'm only human and I don't always know what the best choice is.... and that's something I feel most people don't understand.
