Lets Save FL

[Haarek]

Moving to the DarkRP section saved 3 different CityRP servers man, that’s unironically all it takes.

You do realise FL literally changed to DarkRP a while back and nothing changed so they moved it back

I was told this but never got told when this was done.

It got switched in December 2019, though I don't remember when it was reverted.

Another community which remained in its own category switched to the DarkRP section around the time COVID started and it literally saved the server to the point where it had its player slots raised from 80 to 128. Timing is key.

I pushed pretty hard to get CityRP into the darkRP section in 2019 - however the problem was that the server never got proper traction.

Changing to the darkRP section doesn't mean you instantly get more players - it means that if you manage to hold a high player count over an extended period of time - people are more likely to see Fearless in the server browser and thus you have the potential to gain a lot more traffic. Nothing is guaranteed.

EDIT: An important thing to keep in mind; if the server never populates sufficiently, it won't help. Since then we won't be in the top of the server browser.

I still think the stigma against the DarkRP server browser holds FL¨s player count back.
