Ritchie Stones Posted October 20, 2025 Report Posted October 20, 2025 my ideas often are a bit weird but hang in this one.i want to resolve 2 problems in one go. issue 1- I think mostly new players( new player tag) gets mostly ignored by the community up to the point where they themself inject them into a story, Issue 2- new players chek the prices of houses and make a U turn right out of the server. with a lot of players owning houses that they mostly dont use and hoard. I think having a system in place where a new player can rent one of our houses for free, up to 20000 xp and we get payed lets say 10k a week, not to exsessive, But that money gets payd by the government gnot the player) after the 20k xp is surpassed the “not so new player anymore” gets a choice to start paying rent from their own pocket or leave with all their stuff send to the UPS post office, nice and safe. - side note if the player is inactive for 2 weeks all the contract auto cancels, and stuff auto send into UPS POST, This contract can be made up in the UI of the house. Also the owner gets notifications of cancelation, payments, and surpassing the rentee of 20k XP, with the ability of offering a personal offer. my main reason for this 2 IN 1 suggestion is that. We as a community are not so much a warm welcome to these folks( we ignore them). And those new players also have a difficult time finding a place to stay or rent let alone buy, i am convinced that when this is implemented. A fair amount of people will active go out there and chase those new players to get them under their roof to benefit from that gov bonus. this will have a positive effect and more warm welcome to those new folks coming in, and have them stay longer because they have a roof, interaction, and possibly a friend. Atm they get kinda lost in the noise of a bussy player base persuing their own story. i myself from time to time try to connect with a new player after they fancy my sportscars where i ofer my place to stay for free for some time. I sometimes hand them even the keys to my druglab houses in sealabs just to boost them a bit foreward. It does often result in new players staying longer giving the server more of a chance. AND ITS FUN!! They really appreciate it So imagine yourself being a new player coming into ecrp and half of the server comes at you offering you a house to stay and help out almost pulling both arms out.. If that doesnt make a new player feel welcomed into a community? Quote
Ritchie Stones Posted October 20, 2025 Author Report Posted October 20, 2025 i have read todays discord anouncement towards the curent state of the server, and to keep being involved into ideas. the server atm is pretty low, and i think that this suggestion, might not be a big game changer, but it could improve the server over long time by increasing the chance to make new players having more chance to stay, every bit helps i guess, Quote
imran Posted October 20, 2025 Report Posted October 20, 2025 (edited) i don't think owning houses is an important thing for them. when i was new player i suffered by 3 things, losing gps and be lost in city after i died or get robbed, secondly is transportation, and i mean the cost of time wasted on that side, car repairs etc.. and lastly the lack of support from the current comunity player base, that is full of toxic players who treat this server as DM server, and i don't blame them, since management made it this way.
