Shoubakka Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Having been a huge PERP player back in the day, I'd love to see PERP back up and running. Now the reason it consistently dies out, is that, well there isn't enough to do to keep playing it long term. Now for my fun solution to that: make PERP competitive. The Idea: Run a two week tournament, where everyone's money is reset to $15,000, people create gangs with a max of 10 people, and the first gang to $2,000,000 will win $100 in real life. Heck, I'll donate the $100 to fund the first tournament. Note: people's genetics, cars, items, etc won't be reset, allowing players to build up advantages for the next tournament. After the two week tournament, there's a 1 week downtime, before the next tournament is started. During this 1 week downtime, people get back the money they normally have in their account. Depending on how this first trial goes, the $2M win goal, and the time length of the tournament can be changed. The beauty of all this, there are minimal edits to the server (just resetting money) required. From HG's monetary perspective, if at least 7 people sign up for gold, they've already broke even. The hard part is making sure Moderators are in place to ensure crazy rule breaking doesn't occur.

Jglake Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 all we gotta do is play "It looks interesting but I don't want to play if no one else plays" basically how this all goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silly Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 "It looks interesting but I don't want to play if no one else plays" basically how this all goes. there's 4 of us ingame right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchu_OPFOR Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Great idea but its going to be the same cycle: 1. Someone suggests reviving PERP 2. Event starts to promote PERP 3. A good sum of 30-50 HG players 4. Struggle to attract new players 5. People get bored after some time 6. PERP dies 7. Refer to 1. Call me pessimistic if you want. PERP is never going to be how it was back in 2013. Edited August 29, 2017 by Manchu_OPFOR 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jglake Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 there's 4 of us ingame right now Probably because of this post. If we could get a few members to actively play it we can bring in some regulars and the population will rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoubakka Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm suggesting having a 2 Week PERP tournament every month, it'll pay for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 PERP as a gamemode itself is already dying(i would consider it dead already though). Might as well just scrap the PERP server and make it DarkRP where it will see some actual success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoubakka Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Alright, so I've been playing PERP for a bit, and with the way it is right now, the goal would have to be $10M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubbubbles Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 No money in the world will bring back PERP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoubakka Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Tourney mode will bring people back. Bringing in some crazy competition, should fix things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicide Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Great idea but its going to be the same cycle: 1. Someone suggests reviving PERP 2. Event starts to promote PERP 3.

PERP is never going to be how it was back in 2013. You forgot a number, maybe between 3 and 4. 3b: Drama happens, people ragequit. But in all seriousness, It'd be amazing to revive PERP, but I think it's just a lost cause at this point. We'd all love to see it back and steady but... we're just attempting to beat a dead horse. I love PERP just as much as you Shoub... but I think it's a thing in the past now Edited August 31, 2017 by Suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoubakka Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I think you're missing what I'm saying. We're switching PERP to a new cycle, with what I'm suggesting. The Cycle: 1. People form gangs of 10 people. 2. PERP enters tournament mode for 2 weeks (player money is reset to $15,000). First gang to 10 mil wins. Prize money of $100. 3. PERP enters normal mode for 2 weeks. People chill, figure out their new gangs for the next cycle. 4. Return to step 2. If at least 7 people are subscribed for gold during each month, HG is making money off of the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
