Evocity gets a Neighbour

Seriously though, were you even then when the server was up?


Sure v2p was great... But you must take into consideration that there were MANY MORE players playing on fearless servers (yes, it was before the split) and Garry's mod, game, as a whole. BUT even then the servers ran fine for just a couple of weeks. After few months it was in exact same state as current v2d map. 
I love the whole idea of the map, but currently, map IS too big and the layout is just not well connected at all (except city-river area).


PS: I freaking loved v2p, spent over 600 hours on it, even got my first RPP there, but it just WONT work. Though I agree with you on whole "Evocity" thing, it is CityRP after all.

Yeah, I personally have 300ish hours on V2P, with my first RPP being on there, too.

I do agree with you that there were many many more players. Heck, there were 3 servers back then and it felt like we had 3 different sub-communities, considering I almost always played on V2P and a minor amount of hours on V2D. I don't think I ever met people that used to play on v33x.

I can only believe that V2P ended up being deserted because the playerbase was in decline, not because the map was bad. I wasn't there when V2P got closed down but I can only imagine the how the players must have felt that made V2P their home, being forced into playing on a new map from then on. If it was possible back then, why not now? Maybe I'm just being a bit selfish and just wish for V5P to happen, sorry for that. 

But I will stand by the fact that V5P, just like V2P, is NOT too big for Fearless and the possibilities that the server brings with itself, that said if the server would reach decent capacity. 

I personally still believe the playerbase is not currently ready for/ capable of filling up a second server of any mapsize.
If Littletown were to be introduced with a success, it could lead to a split of the community into 2 servers, and then v4b1 will look just as deserted as any other map (though I personally don't think this will happen considering the lack of possibilities Littletown offers).

And let's be honest, if players will keep on playing on v4b1, the capacity on the 2nd server will STAY low, and ANY map will look deserted with a low playerbase, it's as easy as that. I know they will then look for a replacement to Littletown, but the problem could remain the same for the replacement map.

With that said, let's just wait it out and see what will happen when they hopefully put it online this weekend.
