I love you and passion you
2) Fighting limited. This is a MAJOR one, especially for me. Way back when the limit was 500, so you could have more people enjoying freedom when fighting. For me, when the ping limit is 350 and my constant ping is ~334 and then I just get that one ping spike outta nowhere and I'm stuck with fighting limited for ~10-15 minutes, it's infuriating to say the least. Please raise the limit to 400 at the very least.
I also agree with this. Maybe people who play CIT live in less economically developed countries and in those countries the Internet capabilities are bad. For example, I used to have a friend in CIT who could barely ever log on because his only Internet choice was a 2G dongle. Unfortunately it is going to bring laggers in CIT if we increase the ping but unfortunately that's just what online gaming is and you can't really help that until all countries worldwide get faster, more reliable internet. Just expanding this point.
Well, as I've seen no reply that was actually analytic, I'll try to have my own as far as possible:Firstly, why do people join the server in first place (Possible reasons):They installed MTA and found CIT as the server with the highest player countThey already have MTA and switched from another server to CITThey have got friends that invited them to MTA, then CITThey found out about CIT through an advertisementOf course, listed descendingly according to the number of players joining for each reason.Now, what could actually makes people keep playing on the server?They became community members, thus know about the server and most people here (those people may be staying for other reasons stated below as well)They have got friends who play on the serverThey want to blend with the community of the server as they find it fun (Gain respect, reputation)They enjoy the server's unique scripts and various activitiesWhy may regular players think of quitting the server or actually doing itThey get banned, either permanently or temporarily and decide to give upThey feel oppressed because of a punishment(s) and turn into CIT hatersReal-life commitmentsThey have reached the top of the tower, no more challengeThey find problems with the server and its scripts/activities and give up, e.g: lagThey find another more interesting server/game in their perspectiveWhy may new players think of quitting the serverThey find the server complicatedThey can't make friendsThey don't find any help, even from the support chatThey have tried another server/game and found it more interestingOf course, there are more reasons, but I tried to globalise and maybe summarise stuff a bit. I find a lot of people replying with "2012 CIT was the best". Well, I can't say I agree due to the marvelous additions like the CITy. However, they've got reasons to say so. Back in 2012, the community was smaller, we had less activities and scripts, though more entertaining, more realistic and less confusing than now. Since then, the server's focused on editing the available scripts so that they can live up to the players' changing expectations. We've also focused on adding other activities, but sadly thought about titles and names and forgot about content, turning the whole thing upside down, from Quality into quantity. Take the civilian jobs for example, instead of adding activities to jobs so that players get excited and determined to level up to get access to new activities, new jobs were added, where the system is all the same, copy what you did once and paste paste paste numerous times for profit. What we should care about is making activities more entertaining, not more profitable.
