HL2RP Veteran Movement: Setting the roleplay standard...

    We are a group of Veteran roleplayers, a standard was set for HL2RP a long time ago. That standard was lost somewhere. This community is a attempt to breathe life into this wonderful gamemode, and we need your support.

    We plan to officially launch this weekend, will you join us in our crusade?

    Visit our forums to keep yourself informed!

    Here's our IP: 37.187.74.44:27065

    Our Mission
    We are all extremely passionate about roleplay, and hope that one day we can pass our ideologies onto the next generation of HL2 roleplayers.
    What makes us different?

    We are experienced in every aspect of HL2RP, and know the lore to the finest detail. We also have a dedicated team of staff eager to teach newer players. The way we run things, means that the citizens are more important than the MPF, so you won't have to deal with terminator 05 units.

    The Universal Union are at their strongest currently, and the Resistance haven't even been started in City 17. Join us on an adventure as the citizens resist and fight the combine oppression over a series of events and roleplay scenarios, we don't believe in an official resistance group. Events will impact the server permanently, as it tells the story of the fall of the Universal Union.

    This is merely a vision, and we hope to grow into something bigger some day. With your help, we can do exactly that!

    Lore Timeline

    2001 - Xen Portals begin to open up all over the Earth following the Black Mesa Incident, forcing people to take shelter in cities protected by Military Personnel and Local Law Enforcement. This is the start of the 7 hour war, Combine soldiers began to sweep destroy large portions of cities leaving civilians in disarray. Anybody under the age of 18 was detained and executed any Human Military forces were eliminated.

    2002 - The Combine set up their own fortifications around the cities, and begin to construct the suppression field to prevent breeding, citizens are processed through the Combine Database.

    2003 to 2010 - The Combine have managed to control the entire Earth's population, choosing the smartest citizens from each city to represent the human race, these are titled City Administrators and are used as puppets by the UU to broadcast propaganda and to keep the citizens in line.

    2010 - 2016 - City Administrators begin to set up worker programs to improve the current economic state and loyalty schemes to encourage civil behavior, some citizens have lost hope. They begin recruiting citizens into the Metropolice Force who are used to police the population.

    2017 Present - Some citizens still have hope, the Combine are losing cities to the Resistance who were armed by smuggler groups operating in a network of tunnels unknown to the UU. You are in a City where the Resistance has not yet been established, it is time to revolt.

    The Resistance & Malcompliant Characters
    [​IMG]

    Everyone wants to be the hero, it's in our nature as human beings. Please remember a few things if you are interested in this community:​
    1. You are not invincible.
    2. You are not fearless.
    3. If you want to keep a character, be smart about how you do things. Getting amputated is an instant-PK.
    4. MPF are here to enhance your roleplay experience and will always play to lose if they are not an Elite unit, if you are not impressed with their attitude. Report them to a member of staff, don't flame them.
    Plugins & Features
    • Improved Voice Commands
    • Civil Worker Machines
    • Valence Administration
    • Player Icons
    • We don't use the roll system, and instead prefer Play to Lose.
    • Factory Worker program, these workers produce rations for the Union.
    • Civil Workers can start up kiosks and stores to sell general goods, for those who prefer to passively roleplay.
    • A faction called 'The Society' who control an underground network of gun runners who routinely pick up shipments from Shell Beach.
    Apologies for the short and very un-appealing thread, I'm not really one for posting pretty threads. I like to keep things short and simple.

    There isn't really much to it at the moment, since we haven't launched. I'll probably beef it out a bit when we launch with screenshots etc.

  6. Obviously not very high...

    This feels about as generic as it gets.

    Cool, you have some 'rules' about how RP runs.
    Cool, you have adapted the same 'stock standard' systems all servers have been using for a while now.

    Nothing.

    Sorry, but there feels like there's no life in this.


    This is all you have yet;
    Goodluck to you friend.

    When you're competing against Dynex, SCG and LP, unless you're something absolutely amazing, there's no real incentive to visit your server, and it'll likely follow the same path all new servers do and die within a week or two.


    Constructivity:
    Spend a long time on something and learn a lot more about it and put in a lot more thought and craftsmanship before claiming to be anything different or that you're setting a standard. That's a huge call, and you're only going to make yourself look worse if you set unrealistic expectations.

    Hope it all works out, goodluck, etc etc.

    I appreciate the constructive criticism, thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me out.

    Perhaps I need to re-phrase the slogan.

    If there's anything I've noticed over the past year or so in terms of HL2RP:

    LemonPunch dominates the HL2RP scene.
    13 year old kids who did HL2RP once, set up a server because they think they can get cash money off it.
     
  9. I was there when kuro and Ninjadude made Prototype on a cold November evening (down under) in 2009, you ain't no veteran.

    That's like a US NAVY impersonator walking up to a bunch of freshly-served-their-tour Army Ranger's on a night out in town, and trying to fit in with them.

    I like the concept, but it needs some work. Refer to Dremek's concept or font if you need some help, otherwise just ask me. I'm down for helping out any fellow "vet" of the RP communities in any way I can :)

    EDIT: You kinda look like this to me right now IMO

    I've wasted nearly 4000 hours of my life in Garry's Mod 10 roleplay servers, and probably more on Gmod 9. I remember roleplaying on Hometown 1999, without any fancy script. I think I've earned that title.

    Thanks for the offer though, I'm sure I'll hit you up.

    Do you mean DarkRP? Give us evidence or it never happened.

    So, I don't want to be a hater but I am done with the server.
    After you replied at my thread and said I am a bad CP, but I was only a bad SeC, and you said that too there and I hated you and for that's no reason that you can denied me for that, but you didn't gave me any change. So I hate you still... and if you get a community then send me a profile message on my profile... CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH SORRY...

    The best thing on the server is the forum. DONE

    Let's not be rude and let's not demoralize the owner, things like Kemerd's posts and all the others will only de-inspire things that could be -good-.
