Future of FL

[Haarek]

I'd argue the opposite actually. Many years ago the staff were a lot stricter especially on punishment and the attitudes of the aforementioned players, and then, as the years went on we as a team agreed to act more leniently towards players in an aim to retain more of them - in hindsight this proved a bad idea.

Of course it depends highly on what time we are talking about. I am more referencing an FL in 2011 - 2012 - 2013.

The rules we've reimplemented are things users use to be punished for with no written rules in place.

Toxicity adds nothing to the community and many valuable players have left because of mistreatment they've received from community members.

But is it such a big problem that those people leave? When I play FL I want to shoot, raid, do police brutality, cause arguments, tie up people, grow weed and print money.

Those people who leave - need to be able to separate a game from reality.
And it's a problem - because on FL we tend to consider IC as ingame and in-character, while OOC is the real person. But that isn't the case. It's all just a game. All games are like this. You don't take stuff personal. If you do - you need to get fresh air and real friends. Sorry.

If you can't play the server without being an asshole, don't play at all. It really is that simple. New players who want a unique roleplaying experience won't want to stick around if they see a toxic cesspit.

I am sorry, but I disagree. I think a lot of people come to play for the gameplay.
The killing, the drug dealing, the police brutality, the hostage situations, arms dealing, car accidents and nexus raids. That includes bad words and fowl play.


That's me looking objectively on the situation, and I am sure many agree.
