Sup´ Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Last time i heard of PERP, it got revived and had a healthy flow of people coming by, then when i wanted to try it out again, i saw that the server was dead (again), and it got shutdown, and i don't see any posts/threads regarding any status nor updates, so here i am asking, the fuck happened? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It died years ago, if I recall. Trust me I miss it too. The server is up and running, but they changed to a new map and IMO it's pretty meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup´ Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I see. no matter at how many angles or changes they put to it will still die no matter what, that is my opinion at least. Perharps it's too repetitive/grindy/boring overall anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic King Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It is quite fun. However, PERP was always best to be played with friends. Playing alone puts you in a position where it's you against everyone else and it's not always fun. Some other communities have created their own modes that are like PERP, like City RP and the already dead Real RP with City 17 and those maps. I remember those with joy. The thing is, HG would create its own gamemode, buuuuut, it would cost a lot. Rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I would gladly be in the gmod and cs:go position if perp came back to life. I used to have a blast in the old perp server.

Petroy Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 It was healthy at the beginning of the revival but I think the problem was that after some time we were still playing the same game from 2013. The player base was mostly comprised of players who have been playing the game for a long time. While we did receive updates, the mechanics that defined the game felt/remained the same. There was no new content to grind for. Most people stopped once they received the cars they want. The incentive to grow drugs diminished and after awhile...it got really boring. Anyway, that's my take on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The natural challenge is finding the team of people who can develop it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Council imasonaz Posted September 16, 2016 Executive Council Share Posted September 16, 2016 Spot on.... the money is still there for development on Perp and I think the consensus is heavily favoring creating a new PERP type game mode specific to HG. The natural challenge is finding the team of people who can develop it. I had been meaning to ask about that money for a while since it seems to have not been spent. I think we could get a group together to do it, and even if it took 6 months, it would get done, I just don't think people want/are motivated to do it for free anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
