The Dream
Multi Theft Auto Roleplay brings players back again, and again, and again, and again. The reason is simple; freedom and people. Now the server has seen rough days, we all know that. From massive backlash towards donations, hackers, DDoS'ing, even betrayal, it's gone up and down more ways than your moms back end on mothers day. Dubby and I were asked to come back, so we did, and we can see efforts were tried before even that. From the reapplication process of admins, FRT's clear devotion to fixing things only a month or two ago, and players over all excitement at change, at least the possibility of change, coming fourth. This is not the worst we will likely see of MTA:RP, in fact it's been down hill more than this, so we shouldn't even consider this down hill.
What makes MTA:RP... MTA:RP? For me it has always been the sheer diversity, the freedom and the people. What the server signify's to everyone is different, but the overall effect is the same. We are, as of now, the longest standing Roleplay Server, and we can say that proudly as well as loudly. Do not expect us to stop, cause we will hit you like a freight train if you stand in the way, or we'll gladly throw you inside the already crowded passenger car full of supporters.
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
My Personal Goals
After spending a few days playing, I've found a few things that irk me but also some things which make me happy to be back.
- Reorganization of the San Andreas Police Department.
- Some very key things here are bad, and there is plenty of proof of it not only from FRT, but court cases and IC chatter.
- Implementation of new ideas for the San Andreas Emergency Services.
- Full cooperation will be made through FRT to reach out to the SAES.
- Removal of Pay-2-Win mentality.
- Removal of speed mods from the server, entirely.
- Replacement with suitable, more realistic and fair system, scriptor willing of course.
- More invigorating and cooperating administration.
- Friendliness is key, as well as the want, not just the ability, to be willingly helpful to new players or even existing ones.
- Through the magical effects if time and players willing, an improvement in certain roleplay situations as well as standards in general.
- Any type of wreck, driving or really anything related to vehicle and roleplay seems to have been thrown out the window entirely. People are more content with zipping 0-200, no regards to anything in their speed modded, tint lawn mower than enjoying the roleplay quality of actually mowing the lawn or crashing and cutting your hand off.
- A more invigorating teaching experience. While a roleplay school is what everyone prefers simply because 1. it doesn't involve them and 2. out of sight, out of mind, an interactive moving roleplay scene is usually preferred and shows to work better. If someone doesn't know how to do something, involve them in your roleplay and answer questions as they come. No one wants to spend a half hour in a room being lectured too.
- Pay-2-Win seems to have taken over in many aspects, disrupting a lot of qualities. Where you could roleplay certain things, such as reporting and finding a lost car, people prefer to buy a teleport token, respawn faction vehicles, or throw money at the problem. Why have someone put your tint on, realistically, when it can magically appear? People wonder why factions stop being active or players stop trying. The money and the work, the joy involved, is removed in many aspects.
That is far from my final goals, but to spare a long list I'll end it there. Are all these things massive? No, by far no. Do they require your help? Yes, as a community only everyone, or at least the majority, working together can true success be given. I love you guys, I love this place, why else would I come back, why else would any of us come back?
The Dream
Do I want a perfect server? Do I want a mirror image of other places? No, no and no. That would remove what it is to be MTA:RP. We don't want to mirror what others have done, we want to be unique. In a place full of constant server trees springing about and failing, one must be the main trunk that supports and allows those gone to come back.
What I want is simple, a refined and simpler MTA:RP. Much like the United States Government, over time a lot of useless shit builds up and things get destroyed (I'm looking at you British 1812 invasion), but unlike them we can act as dictators to fix and circumnavigate the all mighty constitution. Instead of President Elect Donald Trump, I give you Administration Appointed Dubby-Beatty-Ello cranberry mix.
Why this post?
Many people seem to have came back, looking for change or something different. I'm here to ask you to stay and keep with us, not a simple check in one day a month. We need you to achieve this, and we want to work with you as much as you want to work with us, with me. Give us a chance to do what we think is right, and meanwhile our ears will be wide open for anything you have to say.
Regards,
High Administrator B. Beatty.
