Longevity

[Doctor Internet]

the only way it would work is if all the older players came back with the same mentalites they had back then to play on the server and put in as much effort because there is no way a sustainable playerbase will happen with the old gamemodes because there is literally nothing to do if there is no player interaction apart from spawning contraband and weed. 

Furthermore, responses like this just show you have absolutely no intuition of what FL used to be before and what made it good - how are you supposed to revive something you don´t even understand?

But I think before you start understanding FL, you should read about punctuation. I nearly had a stroke reading your post and have considered reporting you for attempted murder.

Christ alive.

What made FL a good basis for roleplay was the fact it had one of the strongest communities of roleplayers, for a non-serious roleplay community. The gamemode was a pile of shit that let you do like, two things at most, but people worked with and around it to interact and build their roleplays.

• BlackDog's prisons camps, done outside of the gamemode, the President would order police to drive to some random camp.
  
• Safira's sex / wedding RPs, literally had nothing to do with the gamemode.
  
• Vauld's server events? Almost all of that was player interaction, no use of gamemode systems apart from like, broadcasts.
  
• Killjoy / Eisehorn's Clan RPs, literally having elements which happened off-server, because it was down to interactions.
  
• Dr KuLa with his iconic "surrender now, I am heavily armed". The only gamemode system there is having a gun.
  
• ForceGhost and Co with their Givens RP, literally relying on RP interactions.
  
• So many hundreds of events, boiling down to builds and RP interaction.
  

That's why we had teachers, trying to promote those interactions and mini-events.

The gamemode is a canvas for roleplayers to paint on, but what can the gamemode do if there are no roleplayers?
That's why the gamemode was changed, in the 2016s onwards, to try and promote activity by giving people stuff to do, and that would bring in more roleplayers. But that didn't happen, we lost the roleplayers, to age, to other commitments, to toxicity, for a lack of things to do. We got new players, but we slowly bled roleplay quality. That's not a gamemode issue, that's a community issue.

You can try and say "you have absolutely no intuition of what FL used to be before", but I was literally there.
You've got your rose tinted glasses on, trying to remember the "good old days" that only existed because the community made it so, and to try and ignore that is so fucking disrespectful to the hundreds of people who made the community what it was.

What a surprise, Haarek flipped a coin and decided to write a dumb post, filled with random appeals to authority and unsubstantiated claims, and then concludes with an insult on the person engaging in good faith. Crazy.
