[IV:MP] Forcing roleplay? Clarification

[Senate]

The clarification has been made for the OP so I am going to lock this as it is quickly turning into a "hardcore RP" vs "lite RP" debate which has been had before.

Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages as pointed out by both sides in this topic. I think Mihial gave the best example of how to find interaction and roleplay within the server.

Players are turned off by both methods and it is simply impossible to please both crowds. If we re-work the entire server/script as zedo suggested then that leaves a large group who are already satisfied unsatisfied.

We will always encourage RP but we prefer an environment where players have some freedom when it comes to what they want to do while in the server, this does NOT mean that we encourage disengagement from RP as some have eluded to. We also believe in common sense, for example if you leave your car unlocked and someone steals it then you have volunteered yourself to this interaction by failing to lock your car (talking to you Meeses).

Happy gaming.

This community is already dying slowly , becuz people just dont care anymore about rp .(im talking about IVMP, i have no idea about the other servers) , Rarely do new people join and they are fed up after a short amount of time

This where are you wrong xd

The lack of newcomers is only temporary as its cause is the switch to EFLC/T4 from the usual and wide-spread, well-known GTA4/T3. The moment the word starts spreading out of the new gta4 client and people start reaching out to EFLC/T4, the population will increase. Even as we speak now, I saw some people asking for server scripts so that they can start their own servers.

Not to mention that IV:MP T4 did make some older players to return and check it out. Some of them did check and left, but some of them stayed.. as few players from this very topic

To cap it over again - I am pretty sure all of you know who is willing to RP and who ain't the best choice to poke..
Just start organizing roleplay events and let the current player base get used to it or the denying individuals fade away into oblivion as it usually happens with such after the mindless grinding to get it all

No need to force anyone to anything lel
