HL2RP Revelation Sixty Three

Revelation Sixty Three


Revelation Sixty Three was firstly created in 2014, April, developed under a custom lore entirely. It recently in 2015 moved to a Post Apocalyptic scenario set in the year 2040. Now, it is purely designed for Half Life Two Roleplay.
My purpose and my aim is to have a roleplay server which is not consistant of underplanned events and badly structured Rebellion Factions which come out as completely over the top. I want a fair chance for everyone, somewhere were they can develop their characters however they want to under certain circumstances.
I'm not one to promote myself with flashy, or cool looking pictures hence why there is only text here to read, mostly.
I will apologize for the short thread. I do not aim to make that many players, this Community is mainly purposed for somewhere people can go if they do not want to go to somewhere else which is badly structured. I've given people freedom to choose but should they abuse what has been provided they will be accordingly punished.

​

The server is set in 2014, in Russia. In the Industrial Sector of the Capital City 17.
It is winter and the weather is fairly mild, yet quite effective.
I find that keeping things fair between every single faction and every individual as a whole will improve the outcome of roleplay.
However, we are not all that serious. We treat things in a mature manner as is a thing I would expect from most players.
Civilians are not treated any differently - new players are treated as if they were regulars of the Server. There are no benefits for being a Regular and we will not push 'donations', not like we even have a donation system in place irregardless. Everything dependent on roleplay is completely free. We'd rather focus on people telling the story than the Administration team and everybody else defining how everything works.
You are the player and you keep this server alive, thus we will let you develop how you want in this world of corrupt oppression.
There is no /roll type system in place, as roll bonuses are yet another unfair advantage to put in place. You have unlimited time to roleplay aslong as it's reasonable enough, take your time.
There is hardly much restrictions to what you possibly can do - this means, if you are to execute it correctly, your character and others may even eventually completely liberate the whole of the Industrial Sector of City Seventeen; which will result in an entire change of map. That will have to be done in due time, of course, but it is completely possible.
Likewise to the limitations as stated prior, if you do it correctly, there is nothing you cannot do!​

Metropolitan Police Force​

The Metropolitan Police are structured here as if they were just Humans with a job to serve and protect the infamous goal of the Universal Union which would be to oppress in a strict and harsh manner, yet every one of them are not brainwashed and augmentations are barely a thing as it is one more thing to add to the unfair factor. It is not until the ranking of '03' that Units are issued a Firearm; after this they are considered Armed Response Units.

Overwatch Trans-human Arm​

There is not much to say about the Transhuman Arm Forces, you will most likely never see them in the City, unless there is a fairly big event.

The Resistance​

As it is not an actual faction, this is to only present information about it. The Resistance here are not going to come out as a very over the top, or what some people would call 'edgy' faction here, how they come out is purely dependent on the character and who is developing that specific character. Their actions depend on them alone and we will not persist them and batter them with the same old excuse, "but you're a rebel you need to help people why would you do anything else". Again, it's solely down to the Character itself. They are not very well defined at the start - we would rather have the players develop this faction rather than having it preset and predefined.

Vortigaunts
Vortigaunts are an alien species, their homeworld had been taken over forcing them to flee to the Xen; when the resonance cascade occured this allowed them to travel to Earth and then later to serve as subjugated 'biotics' to the Union. The collars and equipment that they are forced to wear disallows them for the use of their abilities. They have trackers within them, however it is possible to disable these using different methods.

The Civilians​

The Civilians here are treated fairly, yet strictly oppressed. As there is not much freedom, though we do offer a lot of activities in this Server such as the Civil Workers Union which works as a subfaction and will be explained here as everybody is a Civilian and nobody gets biased treatment. The Civilians have little freedom or choice in some matters however they have the ability to choose what side they want and how exactly they will bend themselves and be on whichever side they've chosen by development; if that makes sense.
The Civil Workers Union here have subclasses such as the Civil Medical Union and the Industrial Workers. Anybody can apply for these positions however every one of them is monitored and every action they take is more than likely monitored likewise to normal Civilians. The Industrial Workers are self-explanatory, they focus on Industrial Work in the Warehouses and the Slums districts whereas the Civil Workers Union focus on owning stores and earning their place within the business regime. The Civil Medical Union are purely responsible for the safety factor of the Civilians, as the Metropolitan Police will also help them too, the Civil Medical Union are there for treatment of the Civilians, as it is said.​

Why should I join? What makes this server different from any others? How will I know?​

There is no way you or I can convince you to play and be a regular of my Server, all I can tell you is that we are different. The true way to tell is for you to play yourself, I can promise you that we will listen to every complaint or suggestion you make to the administration team. We are not a biased community at all and we don't treat anybody differently; meaning there is no special people, or biased viewpoints in place.

Important Note
This server is officially open; revival as of 28/09/2016
Sorry if this thread comes out as rushed, I attempted to put my time and effort into it but picked the wrong time to do so. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this thread. It means a lot to me, I put a lot of thought into making this as this is a large community (I refer to C16) and I was rather debating how people would take a thread made by me - as I'm not the best of people.
​

 

City 17 in eastern Russia though? While I feel this server introduction looks solid, I'd suggest a logo and a few screenshots to perhaps draw a bit more attention.

 

Done as suggested!

 

That definitely looks a bit more interesting in the layout. I'll be certain to check this out sometime tomorrow.

 

The server is officially open for any that want to join. Thank you for reading this thread!

 

this is a very RUDE post you should delete it NOW and say something NICE

 

Just gonna leave this here.


Wont bother joining.

 

City 17 looks Romanian or Ukrainian. Probably Ukrainian because of the crylic writing you see everywhere. I think it's Kyiv.

 

gonna suggest some shit:

Yeah, I mean what @Svensis said is very true. Don't bother with TnB's entire discography.

I like your top image, but the choose a side thing is contradictory, "Pick a side, be either a CP or on the other hand, a citizen - who can be a rebel or a loyalist." Who is then, if they're a loyalist, on the side of the CPs.

I'd suggest against C17 if at all possible, I know HL2RP maps are few and far between, however.

You talk about factions interestingly, especially Resistance. It's just hard to read when there's big blocks of text like that, perhaps summarizing them briefly, then following with a larger explanation would be better.

...ahhhhhh

Finally, I'd suggest getting someone to make you some more consistent images for each section, having the HL2RP logo followed by titles that are in different fonts doesn't look very good, to be honest. Add me on steam if you want me to make you some different ones.

Oh, and..

Boards isn't bad compared to the other cheaper/free options, but your categories and nodes look a bit off, there's a random OTA section on it's own, then there's Introductions all over the place and whatever. Try making them have their own categories, so like Faction Information in one section, whitelist applications in others etc.

Overall though, you seem to have some decent ideas, and I wish you luck. HL2RP is hard these days.

 

Only TWO SIDES...
COMBINE OR CITIZEN (OR LOYALIST ( OR REBEL))

 

It's based on neither.
server sounds okay might stop in

 

Exactly what I meant lol.

 

its most likely russian, google russian city architecture and see how close it is to hl2

 

Only TWO SIDES*

 

Uh- yeah.
First thread, first time advertising my server and I'm not very experienced with it, the structure is very bad I will admit that, though the server is shutdown now so this thread doesn't matter- thanks to all who commented irregardless of positivity or negativity; also those who played on my server.

 

damn that didnt last long lol

 

Why'd you shut, out of interest?

 

Well- you see, I've had an insight to make a great server, that happened. Though due to me making this thread so late, I've forgot to pay the bill as of recent - I don't like donations or pushing them despite some offerings, though I cannot pay for the server this month or the next; perhaps in the future I can bring it back, maybe I will even have more experience in that future, too. I plan to, anyway. I just don't like those Servers, whom I won't name, that you get in, then there is all this special stuff for admins and admins' friends and whatnot else; I think you understand. Those that don't give anybody a fair chance whatsoever; predefined much of the factions with their 'head of the lead' characters. I wanted to give people the opportunity to be the lead, rather than myself and administrators on my staff team; as the players need to expand their role play too on other factions, not just the experienced should ONLY be given the faction whitelists, etc. (EDIT); Disregard most of this, I have the payment sorted out and as of 28/09/2016 I can bring this back.

 

You're not gonna join because it uses a really popular content pack? Get in the fucking sea.

This server looks pretty dope. I'll check it out soon.
