Future of FL

This would be fine if we were just interested in turning a profit, especially as DarkRP generally has a lot more that can be monetized. That's not why any of us are in the team though and isn't why Conn bought FL. Apart from covering server and dev costs, we don't really care too much about making a profit from this. For us it's about delivering a unique CityRP experience, something that FL has done for many years. If we can't deliver that unique experience, there's no point in us still being here. Swapping to the DarkRP gamemode also assumes that's an experience current FL players would want, which is unlikely.

I do want to add that we don't have to swap to the actual DarkRP gamemode to be able to show up in that category. Other old and unique servers similar to us have simply moved into the category with varying levels of success, many servers in DarkRP nowadays aren't actually using the DarkRP gamemode. We'll likely explore moving into the category (especially as we have very good visibility, we show up in the server browser very quickly compared to other servers due to some backend tech we have) but we won't be swapping over the actual gamemode to become a cookie-cutter generic DarkRP server for the reasons I stated above.
