I know that many of you hate DarkRP, and I can understand that, but I never heard a real reason from someone. Why do you hate DarkRP?
Me, I first liked DarkRP and I have my own server, actually. I started this thread to find the main problems of DarkRP and try to avoid them on my server. I'm not going to advertise, though, don't ban me :c
I played on a lot of servers, especially the RP Gaming one, but there were kids with mics everywhere (kids with mics should be banned from this world) and all the admins were abusing.
I searched for some other DarkRP servers, but I found that they were all the same: squeakers, "donating" to get admin, rulebreakers and the staff not giving a fuck.
So what do YOU hate about DarkRP?
I hate abusive admins.
Squeaky kids I can deal with, piss em off and they try to "raid" you, and then you plug em with lead and off they go, crying RDM back to spawn.
But admin abuse... eugh. Taking the robber job just so you can spam prop-breaking grenades and raid us on your own with buffed health is just scummy. Moreso when we succeed in killing you, and you break your own rules to come back and continue it until we die. That or you start kicking people when you get killed.
The server I've been on as of late though has been pretty cool. Admin's seem responsive, its actively developed, lots of space to move around in, but not too much that you get lost and never see anyone.
Okay, we'll probably be focussing on the rule breakers and the abusive admins. I really don't know why servers offer admin if you donate, because then it's not donating anymore, it's just buying admin and that's gonna cause trouble. I'll make sure we won't sell admin, maybe donations but you won't get anything for it. After all, isn't that what donating actually is? Not in DarkRP, it seems..
"CUSTOM"
"UNIQUE"
First thing I see is a loading screen from CoderHire.
Second thing I see is a HUD and F4 menu I've seen on over 500 other servers, from CoderHire again.
Third thing I see is Mad Cow's, CS:S Realistic Weapons or M9K.
Then I see that the admin is probably under 5.
Then I'm permabanned.
A unique DarkRP server would be a vanilla DarkRP server.
Donations that off the roleplay, AKA guns/jobs/admin.
Admins under the age of sixteen.
Abusive admins.
The NLR.
The "No RDMing rule."
Servers that have fucktons of swep packs, Jesus, just use one.
Servers that have guns so fucking easy to get, then have NLR and RDM rules (People of Gaming is fucking guilty in this regard.).
Music in loading screens.
Under-powered Police jobs.
One-life Mayors.
Servers with "UNIQUE/FUN/GOOD ADMINS/GUNS/JOBS/FASTDL/CUSTOM/WORKSHOP" in the title.
Servers that try to use a popular theme, such as Zombies, War, Space, but fall right fucking on their face.
Servers with custom jobs made specifically for a paying user.
Any other bullshit
Hitmen jobs
Ridiculous Sweps
Printers
Servers with the following:
Tiny maps (Without many rooms/stores/houses)
ULTRA-SUPER-MEGA-HD Car packs that are like, 60Mb
Rules regarding citizens and raiding (Especially apocalypse servers. IT'S THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE. NOT A SUBURB!)
Servers with loading music
etc.
Also Mark90, Most servers use the vanilla mayor class. The vanilla one has demote on death by default.
I hate just about everything.
Toddlers that use mommy's credit card to pay 5 to 30 bucks to achieve the cheap "Admin" rank. And then they go around saying "oh i'll ban you dude".
Toddlers that get pissed off when they fail a raid and claim they're going to DDoS the server after they disconnect.
People driving around in HL2 Jeeps.
ALL TYPES OF PROP BLOCK.
People who say they aren't going to put a keypad on their door because they "cant figure out how to do it".
Gay wooden cars/shops/ANYTHING WOODEN.
Fall damage.
I would continue but I must leave for work.
the fact that server owners can't figure out how to modify their server besides dragging folder x into folder y and editing text file z
Personally I do not hate the gamemode darkrp, because it is a gamemode you can edit to do what you want with it.
Now what I do dislike is how the majority of servers that are in darkrp flood the server-list, and they are all the exact same thing. There is no difference anymore and it seems like people do not even need to try.
It really takes away from servers that actually try to do some cool stuff.
Gmods creativity is at a extreme down-low.

Also on a side note?
Are we like allowed to just like rename darkrp to darkrp2.0 and just separate ourselves from the copy and paste servers. :v:
[QUOTE=bran92don;42948363]Are we like allowed to just like rename darkrp to darkrp2.0 and just separate ourselves from the copy and paste servers. :v:[/QUOTE]
2.0 would probably be a bad number to choose since the official build is 2.5
You're also not supposed to rename gamemodes unless they really are a completely separate type of game. It's not like you're going to get punished and that it isn't already being done, but it's not "supposed" to be done.

I was being sarcastic which is why I used the :v: face lol
If anything actually doing that would lower your chances of getting people to join your server. It would not be at the top.
Its a shame, the gamemode itself is pretty good. but all the idiotic admins, owners, and communities totally wrecked it and gave it a bad image
My only problem with DarkRP is that all the problems it has can be linked back to Money Printers.
Without a true economy, DarkRP isn't a gamemode about Roleplaying, but really a slow paced deathmatch.
I was a robber this one time, about to break into someone's store. I was on a roof, and then this 11 year old appeared...
Kid: hay d00d you didn't call a raid
Me: What?
Kid: im gunna demote u cuz you didnt avertise a raid
Me: I am just breaking into a store... doing my "job".
Kid: there isnt even anything good in there
Me: ...

*I got demoted for picking a lock as a theif*
Me: YOU GOD DAMN PEICE OF SHIT!! WHO IS THE RETARDED ASSCLOWN WHO GAVE YOU ADMIN PRIVILAGES? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEIVES TO DO??? I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE, YOU DIGUSTING MONGR-*banned*

The Dark RP community.
Damn, so many responses. So a good DarkRP server is just a vanilla server without anything fancy? That's great to know, thanks! I'll remove all the unnessecary addons so that the download will be as small as possible and I'll make sure that I won't be giving a 10 year old admin rights. This could take a while, though.. Now, to find an affordable host..

If you're going to call somebody a retard over the internet make sure you don't spell like a retard.

The 11 year old was shit but several servers have a rule where you're supposed to say "RAID" in ooc or some other channel, I think it's really dumb but he might have technically been in the right.
The thing that baffles me the most in DarkRP is the lack of vanilla servers. At least have some fucking originality!

You know it's bad when something gets modified so much that having a vanilla version of it is original.
Alot of other people have said this before, but I too, despise of admins under the age of 16. They don't understand shit about what their job is on the server and they think being an admin is a ticket to RDM, give themselves money, and do other things that normal users would get banned for... which is pretty much everything.

age =/ admin skill
I've seen pretty good young admins
and plenty of shitty older ones
Lawless kids with no homework to do who are addicted to shooting shit and yelling "fuck"
Admins who take their job way too seriously and want to pull you aside and be all serious and lecture you and shit like "wow you should know better than to do THAT ON MY SERVER next time I see you raiding as a gangster YOU WILL BE SORRY" and other serious shit
Admins who don't do their job right and interrupt what you're doing to ragdoll you and make your ragdoll do stupid shit
When servers add jobs like "Ultra Sooper Dooper Police Cop" who gets like 1 extra gun or "Sicillianoccultarded Gangster Boss" or "Retard"
When servers just run default DarkRP and then add one gun addon and go full retard with the "GUNS/CUSTOM/M9K" shit
The playerbase in general
Then probably the worst one: "Pay $10 and get superadmin for a year"
Servers that don't give you any freedom as an excuse for shitty admins.
There was one server, now shut down, that was amazing. Every blocked tool was available via playtime credits, and it was straight "cops and robbers" with no bullshit. Criminals could KOS the government, and the government could AOS the criminals and shoot back in self defense. Everyone spawned with a crowbar. A bunch of people used e2 to create gamblers and all kinds of machines. The admins permabanned minges, no questions asked. It was basically sandboxed sandbox, with some optional deathmatch jobs.

Custom? All the shit is from CoderHire.
