R.I.P West Coast Life Roleplay. 0 Players.

That gif is so perfect for this situation.

This server would rock if we would get some players. Then the gangs would be big & active and there would be more gang RP and stuff.

You're starting to get on my nerves, and you don't want to do that believe me

Now feel free to spam this topic here and discuss why the fuck this inactivity again and again...

SOLS

And it's true. Sometimes I think I have to shut down the server for a few months to bring back the activity, just like it happend with SOLS. Was dead, then suddenly after it got shut down it gets 50 players.

Same old, same old inactivity..

the samp advert didnt help much i guess
probably because no one wants to join a server that has 1-3 players online
the current playerbase needs to get more active in order to attract new players that will create a bigger playerbase.
also if faction leaders were more active it would help greatly because a lot of members only join when the leader is online.
just my opinion.

cheers

I feel like this may be going in a circle...
Everyone ends up saying the same exact thing in every single one of these topics, and then someone mentions it- me in this case.
There really has to be no discussion, just get IG and that's it damnit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again people always have excuses to not get onlne when asked to log on, trust me I ask people all the time. However they say they don't want to get online because no one else is online. Well if no one wants to log on because none of their faction members are online then no one will ever log on! This wouldn't be a problem if everyone just logged on when they had the time instead of making excuses. The server isn't going to populate itself with players and maybe if people logged on instead of just not playing because their friends aren't playing then new players would show up. Problem solved it's no ones problem/fault but our own we have to get on in order to better the server.

The inactivity is fo real

Dead as fck yo. Try to get online for at least a half an hour

everytime I want to go on there's nobody in the server

This starts to piss me off.

Surely we don't get much updates now, Bible is working on this "big" thing, and I don't even know when it will be done, he doesn't give me a proper answer when I ask, probably because he doesn't know himself and it takes time. I ain't much into scripting these days and I got some other things in life that I have to do at the moment.

So let's make it clear here: WCL had a great run from 2011 and until this day, we had good and bad moments, but if the inactivity keeps up like this, I will just drop this project, because why should I care when nobody plays here anymore and why waste time on this. I am not sure what Owen will do with this and will Bible continue developing his project for this. I myself don't want to waste time on a dead community like this.

Most of the SLS old schoolers left this place, for who I actually started this off. Now if people will just give me RL excuses and won't go online pff I won't bother.

I am giving this 2 weeks, if nothing changes, I am holding my word here, and I will leave, letting WCL flow. Owen and Bible will decide what will they want to do with it.    

I won't act like an ass and shut down the server if I head off, but I won't have to bother asking people to go IG all the time, like it's some sort of job for them.

I've said mine.

It's always a sad moment to me when I see the server empty as it is, especially from my point of view, since I actually have time and I want to roleplay. I would trade every fancy script in the world to have active and devoted players to fill our server up.

I'm staying here until the day it closes regardless.

Hit me up on skype whenever you want to play I'm pretty open and factionless

Got tired of Skype's shenanigans brah. To log in my linked MSN/Skype account, it asks for a security code which is unaccessible to me and I can't switch emails, so I can't do anything. Have to register a new account probably.
I always try to log in-game atleast once or twice a day though, so we'll have to see.

Just gonna throw this out here: But if Compton resigns, then i'll be resigning as well. There's no way i'll be able to take over West Coast Life Roleplay after all of the mistakes i made with Street Life Stories/1993 Aftermath Stories, etc. I'm fine with my current position of being the CFO and yes i know i've been inactive as hell (sue me *cf*). But being in charge is too much for a guy of my caliber, especially with all the commitments and shit i got going on now.

I'll return in two weeks and await your decision. If things improve, then great! If not, then at the very least, we can laugh and say we had a great run.

Off Topic: Just got the internet back today after nearly 3 weeks of being offline and this is the first thing i read, Damn.

Can't say I wasn't expecting that, Owen. But I also can't say I don't understand. We all got lives and stuff to deal with— you, Compton and the whole, past and present, administration team (which I proudly was part of) have done way more than enough to keep this game entertaining for so long. All the active players and donators left their marks too.

Nobody ever forced anyone to stay here, some left early, some left late and we will probably stick to the end, but to the ones who did have an experience here, we can safely say that +95% of them enjoyed their time here, the good times. You know, the freedom the server offers with the factions and the quality RP we used to have, the friendships, it all counts. Speaking for myself, I can say that I came in December 2011 from SOLS and ever since then, WCL-RP has been my "home" in SA-MP.

If this is really what you guys are going to do, closing down the server then yeah, we had a good ride.
I wasn't here in SLS and Aftermath, but I heard a whole lot about it and... just wish I could have been there. Hopefully I am accepted by now as one of your own by now, almost like an "old school guy" haha.

I do have one question though, can the forums stay up/unlocked for as long as possible? Hopefully this is in your plans, atleast we can have a place to reminisce on the old days and still stay in contact I guess. It's a place on the internet I check everyday.

Cheers.

I wouldn't shut the forums down, no way. And i also believe that they should stay open. There's too many good mods (and bad *cf*) here for starters, along with video links, amusing topics etc. And it doesn't cost anything to keep the forums open so, Unless Compton specifically states so: I would keep the forums open and we just moderate them from time to time. I have no problem with this.
