Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a few ideas on a very very very radical revival idea.
All of my ideas come from a point of gaining new players so some may seem extreme to a long time dedicated player
So as it stands Drews Community SWRP is at a bit of a dead end in terms of new players etc, what the server needs is a HUGE refresh.
Obviously this is quite a big thing, its gonna step on alot of peoples toes but hear me out.
So first of all what I've noticed is there are too many regiments for the server to grow as is, think of it in hindsight the less players there are
the less regiements there should be. My suggestion would be to cut this down to core factions, remove some paid options and then it will let the primary
regiments flesh out with more players and high ranks.
The Regiments I would keep would be as follows;
501st
212th
CG
Jedi
ARC
I would also suggest the removal of Generals temporarily, as Fleet can do their job just as well and can do trainings etc.
Another way to boost retention within regiments would really be to increase the amount of trainings taking place, this includes large scale
battalion wide trainings that would really please players.
The real Key is player retention really, the more players we have on constantly the more others are likely to join. The ways to do this would
generally be improving staff interaction. When an admin is on, he can host an event, host a training, host an RP event. Same with mods etc.
Aswell as that, rank progression needs to be a down sight easier for the short term, including Jedi as I heard they are quite stingy
there's no reason that someone playing the server for 6 months should not be master let alone a lowly blademaster.
This will really attract new players aswell and keep some of that retention, all within reason obviously.
The maps are another key part that arent considered alot, keep it basic.
Base maps that are tried and proven to be the best like, Venator and Rishi. And please Label places like we used to, very handy.
Event maps that are fun small and have a good combat flow for events,
think geonosis or corruscant underground you want tight corridors where troopers and droids can fight not massive open spaces that take minutes to traverse
Look I haven't played this server seriously in a long time, but recently i've wanted to come back to it but it seems there isnt alot to come back to.
And when I have loaded in and looked around it's been quite depressing, none of the decoration we used to have, no personality in bunks etc
but with the current point the servers at it seems you need a fresh perspective and a total overhaul since these systems would work well in
a well populated server, but it just isn't that at the moment. You can push and hope for new content or new regiments but whats the point
if you'll be enjoying it with 1 other regiment member at a time.
The execution is also vital. Shut the server down. Organise the game files, almost create a lite version of the current server, and then advertise and schedule a big release. This will cause the biggest spike in numbers in 1 day we would have seen in a while and would alone recruit more new players than we get in a week.
THIS IS A DISCUSSION
THESE ARE IDEAS
I DO NOT KNOW THE SERVER AS WELL AS YOU GUYS
LETS TALK LETS MAKE CHANGE.
