Player Customization = Player Retention / Diversity

Player Customization on Eclipse over Years – Better, yet worse?

 

Hey there, long time player since 2020.  I have been here since the bare bones of player customization when there were only about 4-5 additional female hairs to pick from, and no additional clothing selections. So, I do understand the struggle.

Back when female characters could add makeup and look less like a plain brick.

I came back to the city and was pleased to see that there were more hair and clothing styles, but at the cost of makeup and still no tattoo customization.  

 

TATTOOS

Just like real life, I got tattoos I regret quite terribly so from gang affiliations long forgotten. Some of us spend years here and should get a tattoo removal. I don’t know if it’s an RPly reason, or just due to the fact there would need to be a ‘remove’ option for each one, but if it’s an RPly thing, I would just suggest having a timer for tattoo removal from time of application….

My accidental face tattoo that I got on a misclick now dictates all my hair styles… ;(

 

MAKEUP

Player diversity is important, different things matter to different people. Makeup may not be a ‘priority’ to some people because it’s a cosmetic, trivial feature for most players on the server, however for people that are more worried about aesthetic, social climbing aspects the server, and overall player retention… It’s critical. 

As an aesthetic snob myself, I was disappointed to see there was no makeup. I don’t know if that’s a job you plan to have, or etc. as I saw listen on forum ideas, but however you decide for that to come back, I think it should! – Player customization and self-expression is critical to roleplaying and Eclipse unfortunately under preforms in that department compared to other servers/cities.

 

MORE OPTIONS

Still not enough, and I don’t know what server type this is or if it even matters anymore (I coded for a private 5M Server about 4 years ago)

Then, it was just as simple as converting any file type to what your server type was and it’d run. If you need not only a complied list, but any assets converted… I will gladly hand you the file assets and you can review them yourself and implement them…. So it’d be of no fus to you lol. 

There should also be someone on your mod team, or even below that ‘Brand Ambassador’ who sits and curates these types of ideas from your forum, and expands, and also keeps things up to date like social aspect ideas for higher player retention.

 

I have invited about 7 people with my referral code within the last month if you look, and I could refer more but whenever I stream public, and show customization, but people are constantly comparing it to many other servers with more customization features

(You’re also missing money, since you could put the newest, or exclusive looks behind a paywall… Just saying!)

i think the server has bigger issues to solve now but good idea!
we need people in the server to spend all their money, asap, because there is a wave hitting relative soon.

soon there wil be no more " free content" from gta5 when gta 6 releases, that means, if no more content gets inserted in the ecrp server, there wil be a lot of people ending up not buying anything from that content through gta5,
eventually piling up cash resulting in "the ability to spend more money on fewer things"
making stuff like houses etc go up, its a "cause and affect issue" money shifts.
