As far as I'm aware ECRP is the biggest English Voice RP server on RAGE MP; the only bigger English RP server is text only. The platform matters a lot since fivem players won't see our server in the launcher, and won't download another client just to try our server when there's hundreds of options on fivem. Now that we're all moving to fivem with the closure of RAGE MP, things might get better or they might not; we shall see.

ECRP never had a queue, you're thinking of other servers. Our server capacity was/is 1000 players and we never hit that. Server population stabilized around ~200 peak EU after COVID, anything lower than that is real player loss. Anything higher than 200 peak was COVID inflated numbers. One of my biggest pet peeves with the server is how staff members keep spamming events; stuff like Out of Towners opening literally every night is inconvenient because when it's open, and there's only 100 players on the server, if you have 30 of them doing an animation waiting for the raffle there, the server feels dead. You literally won't find another person on the map outside of legals. I think we need to refocus on organic interactions rather than these heavily moderated and incentivized with raffle social gatherings.

Yes, as someone that played both pre-pandemic, during pandemic and after pandemic, it was 100% the reason we ever got "big"; everything online was big at the time, and everything declined afterwards. Even huge companies with billions invested in marketing like COD don't have pandemic numbers anymore. When you were playing and Zetas were around we had 200 players at EU peak; not 400. Yes, right now with ~100 at EU peak we're lower than that, but, we were always going to lose some compared to the highest point simply because people went back to work.

Hey mate! Everyone's opinion is valued the same. If you have constructive and respectful criticism or advice for the Los Santos Police Department we are always open to considering new points of view. The amount of money donated to the server does not influence that positively or negatively.

I believe one of the biggest issues with criminal roleplay is the overuse of the report system, it is my opinion that this is done in part because you get rewarded for it: if your report is accepted, you and all your gang gets everything refunded, if your report is denied, nothing was lost. I believe we should remove refunds from rule break reports and only provide them in cases of bugs causing death, cheating or for new players. Losing assets because of a rule break is not ideal but people should be here for the RP, and the staff team prioritizing asset refunds helps reinforce that this is asset-driven environment. I believe a major source of unfun and uninteresting roleplay for both sides is swimming to avoid capture, this is NOT just against cops but against other gangs as well. Picture this, a rival gang was spotted cooking at Low End lab and you and your gang are ready to contest their cook and try to rob them. As soon as your car is spotted they all jump in the water and start swimming. You are now left with no roleplay and no recourse other than jumping after them and doing a very desync filled interaction (animation, teleportation issues happen with water gameplay all the time) and it's also just not fun. I believe it should be against the rules to use body of waters when you're being attacked / chased by anyone. Same way it's not allowed to swim forever, just disallow swimming entirely.

This is a light RP server with the majority of the population being light roleplayers; most people don't even play a character but an exaggerated version of themselves. I think you want too much from this playerbase; I was here when we "raised" crim RP standards and all it resulted in was even more friction, more staff intervention and less players playing. If you want every single interaction to be a high level one, you're on the wrong server. I don't think there's anything wrong with ECRP as it is; it's a very mixed bag, sometimes you will get great roleplayers, sometimes you will get broken penis when checking for wounds. You just have to accept that reality because no one will be able to change people, and no one is interested in removing 50% of the community so that the other 50% can have better standards.

I think that forcing people to need something that they don't want will just end up with even more poor interactions; if you need medics script wise for things, you'll just have people ask you for an icepack and refuse to do any proper RP with you, and if you refuse to do it, they'll threaten to kill your characters. Is that really better than the status quo?

I'm sorry to say but everything you listed above is non-sense. If a person is running on foot 10x faster than any other person, I'm going to stop them with Teamspeak? Have you ever tried to tackle someone that is running away from you? Panic button? Same thing, you're just listing random things. The only viable ways to stop someone that is running away from you, especially when they're on drugs are the following: shoot them in the back run them over with a car tase them If cops stopped tasing people and instead did the other things, I expect the complaints would get worse, not better.

tasing is a solution to people being unrealistically fast on foot when using drugs; what else are cops supposed to do?

I think that if you want to complain about this, you also need to complain about how drugs make you 10x faster than a clean person. It's not fun to chase someone that's stupid quick.

Removing commands that were already there makes no sense to me; give players the option to use what they want UI or command.

the license is non-transferable, only you can use them for your own server, if ECRP wanted to use them, they'd need to get their own license.

EclipseRP uses stripe, they don't have your data even if they want it. No one is hacking stripe to get your 150 euros brother
