My friends.

 

I have recently been making more and more appearance's back after reading recent issues being addressed.

The State of Eclipse Roleplay

Changes to how we view and react to a player's general roleplay quality and contribution to the general community environment

We've reached a point where the general environment on the server is often unhealthy. Certain groups of players focus on low quality 'shooter' gameplay - where their "roleplay" primarily consists of engaging in shootouts with other players or other miscellaneous action roleplay. We've also noticed an increase in "win" mentality - using the fastest cars/bikes, using cars that are affected by broken game mechanics (FPS dependent cars) in order to win situations. We've also noticed an increased in "ruleplay" a term which is not properly defined, but one that describes a player that deters from immersion and realism to play by the border of the rules. 

In order to improve things, community management has decided that we're going to fix the general quality of roleplay by; 

• Removing players that have no focus on providing quality roleplay to all of the community, or players that have a toxic overall attitude that diminishes a healthy environment.
• We believe in leading by example - we've previously been very lenient against factions and their behavior, however - moving forward, we're going to be more strict with removing official statuses and if needed, force groups to disband. 

We encourage players to break free from unhealthy cliques and other groups and to lead by example among friend groups.

If you are among those players whose only gameplay is e.g. to login, grab your gun and vehicle, and move between drug labs to look for players to rob or create a conflict with, then this is aimed at you. You need to mix your gameplay up - you need to add creativity to your gameplay and create roleplay. Not everything can or will be scripted.

We want to reach a point where our server rules can be loosened up with less "limitations", however, at this current state - we're not anywhere close to that. 

The State of Player Reports

Changes to how we will approach player reports and appeals

Staff will now record denied reports as a note on a player's record, and include whether the report is petty or not. Players creating petty reports against players is often a result of spite. We've noticed a common pattern especially during gang conflicts that opposing gangs create petty reports against rivals for the smallest things in order to get them punished by server staff. 

If a player post frequent reports that are denied, it could also be a sign that the player are not familiar with our server rules - and thus due to their lack of understanding or reading ability, they waste a lot of server staff's time and create this unhealthy environment of throwing reports at one another. 

Senior Staff will review players with a large numbers of petty reports, or a large ratio between denied and accepted reports. This could result in punishments anywhere from being unable to post player reports for X period (which means no one can do it for you either), or being removed from the community for a certain period.

The State of Behavior during snow

Clarification to Non-Roleplay behavior during snow weather

The snow weather is not purely aesthetic. We want players to behave and act as they would around snow in real life. Players are expected to dress up properly for the cold weather. (Faction uniforms are exempt as they cannot be changed In-game).

Players are also expected to leave their non-off road bikes in the garage and apply appropriate tires to non-off road vehicles for the weather if they are to be used. (Tires is exempt for faction spawned vehicles as they cannot be changed In-game).

The State of Mountain Driving

Added under Non-Roleplay:

• Non-off road vehicles may not drive up mountains or steep hills. LSEMS, Mechanics and PD are exempt.
   
• CLARIFICATION: After deliberating among the staff team on the topic of unrealistic driving, we have decided to adopt a version of a rule from Lithuanian Eclipse Roleplay that covers this topic. When we rule on these types of topics surrounding game mechanics we try to focus on the things that affects players and the general flow of roleplay the most, and this has been one of those topics.
  
  It will now be considered as poor roleplay to operate your non-off road capable vehicles up mountains or steep hills. (off-road tires does not make your sports or supercar an off-road vehicle). 
  
  This will simply be ruled as Non-Roleplay by our staff, and like all of our rules, it will apply to everyone on the server equally, except for in certain circumstances. LSEMS and Mechanics will be exempt from the rule, and PD (temporarily) until they get a addon vehicle added for off-road purposes. This only exempts regular patrol cars for PD.
  
  We understand that it will take some time to adapt to this new stance of ours, and our staff team stands ready to educate players should there be any confusion. Please remember to always focus on roleplay over "ruleplay", don't drop your character's (and faction's) lore in order to go out of your way to drive vehicles that can off-road simply to win situations

Very happy to see that things are being noticed. I truly hope change in the quality of RP keeps being pushed on.

Chatterbox and the clown family had got together to try out another hostage situation at the Pier. RP was great! +1

Chatterbox and the clown family went to the "funhouse" with a few people and were causing chaos. Roughly 20 minutes later, a truck of farmers pulled up and started presenting me with some QUALITY rp. I have never been so entertained by a group of people on ECRP until that very moment! +1

You will be seeing more of Chatterbox my friends!

All we wanted to do was brew corn moonshine with cousin Shirley and cousin Bertha until some psycho clown people started harassing us country folk!

That was a fun night though, glad to see we'll be seeing more of you again!
