The Plan

[Gurra]

Hey


It’s been a busy couple of weeks for everyone here with exams and studies occupying time. That’s about to clear in a week or so, and we’re both excited and determined to make the most out of the freedom that summer offers! 


Monolith RP, has since our launch, improved severely - which you’ve hopefully seen in our changelog. It has not been without ups and downs: the launch carried intense technical issues, and throughout our large updates, things haven’t always been adjusted well - but we’ve resolved that and the gamemode is now in an impressive state. 


The state of three other things in the community are much less positive. Our active playerbase can be significantly improved, the inflation on the server is high, and the economy is not yet truly playerdriven. Only by seeing these issues directly with clear eyes, can we begin to confront them. 


We are going to make a strong push in a week or so from now to fix these issues! There is one update we’re working on that will be consequential for our server and success going forward - a large marketplace/auction-house where players can put whatever they extract or craft on sale for other players. They can then go offline and someone can buy the goods. This will be the key to a playerdriven economy based on supply and demand - players will have all the incentive to specialise, create businesses of scale and be active in producing whatever our server enables.


We will combine this major update with other warranted ones and push it on the exact same time as we switch map to Rockford! To make the most out of the potential of the new playerdriven economy, we will take measures to end the inflation on the server. A wipe is not necessarily what we’re aiming for, but certainly a heavy swipe - where players will keep a proportional amount of their wealth with certain caps. Skills and levels will not be touched. We want a server where your work and creativity is actually rewarded and worthwhile, and it isn’t if everyone goes around with millions of dollars. This has to change and will change! 


I think all of us can see this major overhaul update to come as the potential game changer for our community’s prospects. If we are to make it successful, we will need your support for when this update and map change happens! It truly will define the future for Monolith and may be the key to reigniting our server!

Good to see. I hope this will improve things

I'm back and ready to help on these issues.

 

[Gregory Lotus]

Yeah! Rockford!!

Noice!

I'm really pumped to see how this pans out. The development team is working hard on new features that are coming and we are extremely optimistic on how much it's going to spice up game play. I've been working on a lot of game play related features to improve handling unconscious people, looking at alternate weapon packs to improve gunfights, and a lot of police force overhauling.


I can't wait for Rockford personally, it's something that will really allow us to thrive.

I can't wait for this to be fully kicked into motion! Hopefully this will make things better and attract more people to the server and our community!

I fw the vision


I actually believe it would work well and I like Rockford a lot for Monolith

Thank fuck you're doing something about the economy. If you're decreasing it I would say make the cap like 50k as 100k is way too much. Get people grinding and get your playerbase back up!


Good luck to the development team!

As far as the money goes. Make sure you set the cap to what the most expensive thing in the server is, or else you wont be able to buy it XD.

Very nice!
