Server has been closed for maintenance but will be back up in a week. This is both because I'm going out of town for several days for work and I want to fix some issues with the mod. Some of the minor issues/bugs are related to joining/leaving a company, market listings, and manufacturing. However the bigger issue that seems to be killing off the server quicker than expected is the stagnant economy.
I designed the economy based around the usual cops and robbers shenanigans that previous CityRPG's were based on but it appears either crime doesn't pay well enough or the playerbase has shrunk enough that most of the problem players that usually rampaged cities aren't around anymore. People aren't buying weapons which means nobody's manufacturing which means nobody's buying resources and so on.
I've thought of a few ways to make being a criminal more rewarding:
1) Remove the cash penalty when getting jailed and reward cops through tax-dollars
2) Allow jail time to reduce when not on the server but at a reduced rate
3) Remove perks that penalize criminals such as louder deaths, not dropping resources on death, etc
4) Adjust radius checks so that evidence is dropped more often and can also be cleaned up quicker
I doubt I'll add all the above things but I'd like to hear everyone's opinions.
