I wouldn't be so quick to judge the plethora of players - it is an entirely different play-style and assuming people will carry over that behavior in the first place is... just that - an assumption. Many new players we have gotten, which I have witnessed myself has been very positive to the atmosphere and more serious nature of the server. If anything, being in the darkRP section is one of our biggest advantages.
Every player who joins - regardless of origin is still a valuable member of the community. It is obvious being in the DarkRP section helps out FL's playercount and I would be very vary of changing the section. In the end, it doesn't matter what section the server is in, it matters what the gamemode and community has to offer and how visible you are in server browser. With a full 75 player server we are close to the top of the server listings. Much better than the chaotic nature of the gamemode browser.
I want to start off by saying that I have nothing against DarkRP players but this is not DarkRP, this is an original game mode that is not DarkRP. Of course, people in the past month have come from the DarkRP section because that is where the server is. If we moved over to a CityRP section then everyone will say they found the section. The issue is that if there have been no problems in the past about being in its own section, then why not go back?
If people are sick of the DarkRP gamemode because they want something new, why do you think they will try each server in DarkRP until they reach ours? Maybe they want a City related roleplay experience and it would be easy for them on the front page of the gamemodes to find this server.
Sure, everybody is valued just like everybody was valued when the section was different. The DarkRP section is far more chaotic than the gamemode browser, with many servers that can't offer what we offer but it is hard to advertise the uniqueness of the server if it is in a plain gamemode section which is swamped with 100s of players above this server listing.
I want to further reiterate that I didn't mean that players from DarkRP players are bad just that the servers themselves and the gamemode is bad and that we are much better in terms of what we can offer. After all, it is the most popular gamemode and I want people to be able to find us when they know that DarkRP is not for them.
