I would like to tell you guys what Bishop and I have in mind for CRPG. Any feedback is appreciated, like whether or not you like the idea.
You spawn in the baggage claim of an airport with no papers. Since you don't have an identity, you just pick that here. (Any other settings for your player will be adjusted here.) You will take the ferry into little Italy and get out in the south side, low rent part of town. There is already an area for you to explore and play the RPG throughout. There are the basic things you need for a city, along with some residential buildings, secrets, and places to commit crime and hide your dead bodies (seriously). With the spawn area pre-built, the server doesn't a time period to develop an interesting city to play the gamemode in. It's already there. There are some places for players with a permit to build in, but they are scarce in the spawn area. There will be another area, where you can purchase land and start anew. Any player can build here. Even though players can't heavily modify the buildings that are already in spawn area, one can capitalize off of them by buying them out. Small modifications, of course, can be made.
Another idea is more realistic communication. Global chat will be toggle-able, you will, by default, talk in a radius of an amount of bricks to be determined. You can talk in a low voice to decrease that range. You can whisper to a single player, or if you are in a car you can lowly talk to those in the car. If you want to be heard you can shout.
