I really miss the old VIP setups too, especially the unique loadouts and effects. Not sure if they'll all come back, but I get that keeping things balanced is tricky. In the meantime, if you're looking to stand out a bit, I found some cheap cs2 skins that do the trick without spending much. It's not the same as VIP, but it kinda brings some of the flair back.

JB is only fun when prison guards aren't going rogue all the time just to piss players off.

Yeah it's pretty sad now. Only a handful of servers to play on nowadays. Been more into GMOD the past few years and even servers I've been on have started dying down more sadly. Community run games are becoming a rare breed. Maybe one day we'll all be able to gather in JB and praise the tree one last time.
