Limelight Forums

Throwing small events help, but even then, the majority of the players will only use their microphones to communicate, or do not actually RP.

The main issue with LimeLight is that people play as their self, just with a certain toolkit, and badge. It's a rare sight to see somebody roleplay as a character. Role-playing a ROLE is more common, but very basic generally. 

The main issue with LimeLight is that Roleplay freedom, and what we can do is limited by a lot of factors. No lore about the location the city is set in. No lore/structure/whitelist for the government. No encouragement for character development, risk and consequences to your action ICly. But some of these issues are just here because of the fact that this is a "semi" serious server. And that wont change until that does.

What we can do to fix this, without making major changes is change the map back to an Evocity map, it's called CityRP for a reason, and the shops and main hub area that evocity maps all have, works very well to encourage roleplay, and a central area for players to interact with each other. 

We should also look in making the rules a bit more flexible when it comes to RP, and a bit less flexible to those who want to ruin RP.

Maybe we could have another Passive night. Make new players who haven't expirenced passive rp themself's enjoy it without there RP getting shot up by minges

Why have a passive night when we can have passive night every night?

Why have a passive night when we can have passive night every night?

If we have a passive night every night then the whole server is passive RP, we can't have either fully aggressive RP or fully passive RP, there has to be a balance between them, having a passive night every night is a bad idea.

Most people like aggressive RP and just because we want to increase Passive RP we shouldn't restrict aggressive RP'ers from doing what they want to do, at best we could motivate them for more passive RP's, considering a large majority of the community loves aggressive RP having a passive night every night will lose us a lot of players.

One passive night is a step towards getting people to enjoy passive rp

My aim was to make officers not just shoot at any chance they had and negotiate knowing that SWAT still have heavy firearms. But the cops just wanted weapons to shoot up every criminal, really disapointing that cops can't roleplay without shooting up Criminals. I wish people would stop focusing on what they want always and try something different every now and then

I really think that's unfair. Most citizens do AggroRP and the COPS suffer. I can't stand it when Presidents or Police Chiefs restrict cops access weapons.

I'm sorry, but I'm staunchly against restricting officers weapons. SWAT or not, officers should be fully equipped.

I may help to this agro rp to. Couldnt give a shit.

If both sides are balanced weapon wise then maybe. That wont happen.

Officers may want to shoot down every criminal they see but so do the civilians. Then unfortunately, there are the passive rpers caught in the middle.

It's a mess, but very against restricting weapons to all officers, swat or not.

Lack of character development is unfortunate. There is no continuity or consequences - According to Overlewd your character is not the same on a day to day basis.

If they happen to share the same name,written lore, age, description, mannerisms or even employment. If you happen to change your /job or your job in the F1 menu at one point it isn't the same character, apparently.

Fantastic example of this is I used to consistently post news articles to keep people up to date on the clan politics but even admins or ex admins now would do anything in their power to throw a hissy fit claiming a character was not the character. So essentially anyone in a clan or RP group can make the claim "This was not that character" and their actions are voided.

By the logic applied by the current HR team I can blow up an orphanage, raid the PD, kill the President, shoot up the ATF - with my clan characters name, age, description and everything that comes with it. Wait 10 minutes and type /job Lionscrest Incorportated - Director. 

BUT IF I DECIDE TO CHOOSE THIS IS NOT MY CLAN CHARACTER THIS ISNT THE SAME CHARACTER APPARENTLY 

Characters need to be more concrete. Add character slots, who knows.

That honestly sounds like the one example when they should step in...

Would be awesome to see a character slot section where you could have more than character to rp as. Obviously these views about characters no being persistent need to be altered and it restored to the idea of characters having background and their own story's and wrap sheets and so on. This tacked onto alot of other things said would help in just providing people the tools to rp with a character that should have different traits and motivations than another that would be continuous.
