Dear Eclipse Community and Eclipse Staff.
I've started to play on this server about a week ago.
I met many great characters. Had a lot of fun.
But this wouldn't last long.
In the last few days we got endless waves of new players.
Players who don't care about the rules. Don't know sh*t about roleplay. They join the server just to steal cars at NCZ's, rob people as soon as they get a weapon and all that.
They have no fear of Death, they chat with "lol", "u" instead of "you", "lmao" and all that stuff.
You know, I have been into roleplay since about five years now. Played a lot on german servers, then hopped over to the english ones. And I really love quality. And this server has it. The scripting is incredible. And the server is really stable. Which means a lot nowadays.
So big shoutout to the whole Dev Team on that! Good job!
But what I wanna say. I play here since a week, and I only met 3 players who actually do quality roleplay. My personal favorite person is "Rocko Longwood". He's just incredible. And a huge asset to the server. (That doesn't mean that others suck but he just stands out from all the others so far.)
And this is what a good server needs, we get spammed with new gangs with idiotic masks.
Like I said before, new players form new groups. Wan't to create a gang.
But they only love to shoot. Most of these don't even roleplay their actions.
All they can say is "Hands up or we shoot" if you don't comply in 2 seconds you're dead. If they even give you those 2 seconds. I had a situation where I got shot on sight for no reason too.
Lost perhaps hours of hard work.
I am really worries where this is going.
If this continues we loose great RP characters like Rocko or others.
Then the server would be full of trigger happy idiots.
And this would be a shame cause in the second you join the server you see that you've put a lot of work in it. And you know. This would be lost cause you might get overwhelmed by trolls.
Perfect examples would be these guys:

These are those characters I'm worried about. Cause they came from GTAO and think it's fun to dress like this. Well too bad we're on a roleplay server not GTAO.
I just stand there and ignore them because, I don't wan't to roleplay with these kind of people. Which isn't the best way to deal with them but I'm just pissed to see them. Mostly because if you talk to these kind of people they this they some sort of badass. But I just can't take them seriously. I'm sorry. As much as some of the new gangs. Wearing similar clothing.
I really hope something will change.
Because I came to this server to join a Motorcycle Club. To do some really awesome roleplay.
And I didn't even came close to it. I got shot daily by fools that ignore every rule they had to describe in your Application Quiz.
And here I am, quite sad actually that the server is in that state at the moment.
I heard a lot of good of you guys and I really was hyped to join.
Then I join after a month waiting and basically all I get is shot or robbed if I step out of the NCZ.
Which doesn't help me with my roleplay.
And I'm sure others creativity suffers too.
Not everyone want's to fight, join a gang or whatever.
Also, there's so many rule breaking happening on this server and the reports get ignored or answered way too late. I know you all are busy or want to play by yourself. But this just helps those trolls to get away with their stuff.
So please,on behalf of the quality roleplayers on your server, which would be 50 from 300 players at the moment sadly, step in and try to help us. In return you get quality roleplay and loyality.
Little changes that would help out a lot for now would be:
1. No masks in NCZ. OR even better, no mask if haven't got a good RP reason to do so.
2. Troll characters, talking mostly about the guys around the NCZ, who jump on other cars, hit people with their BMX and claim that it was desync should get kicked off and re-read the rules. After that they should be watched closely.
3. Robberies should be handled by the way the rules describe them.
4. Less robberies at all. Less shootings. More talking, more RP'ing. We're on a ROLEPLAY Server at all. Not a FiveM DM Server where you can shoot all the NPC's.
5. No more new gangs. PLEASE. max 5-6 Gangs are enough for this town.
(These are only suggestions of course)
And If staff applications are open at the moment I'd love to volunteer to help out where ever I can. That doesn't mean ban 90% of the players of course. But explain to them. Respond to reports ASAP and help those admins out who are busy with more important stuff.
I thank you all for your patience, I hope we can all change it before it's too late.
I like this server and it's community and I personally don't want to leave you all.
This text might have issues mostly with spelling but yeah, I hope you'll get what I mean.
If I find more mistakes made by myself I'll correct them.
With respect, Sam Wolfe. [IG: Jaxon "Jax" Wolfe]
