Why not let us to set our own boxville armor prices? Also add price info on top of the truck.And... how about having more than 100 armor points? The more points you have the slower you move.
Innovation fuels success
Here is just a small idea...How about, if, instead of thinking about adding or changing things into new stuff, thinks about the things we USED to have, the features that gave life to this server, the features we had back when the player count would increase monthly and we would go from peak to peak. Get your staffs to be like the old ones, who would care about having a very good time ingame instead of just being there to punish. Those who would constantly come up with events, no matter how silly they were, but that they were soooo silly, that you would have a very enjoyable time going through them.Nowadays, things are changing on a daily basis. Think about that time, when the updates would come from time to time, but when they did, they were so fucking awesome that everyone wanted to try them out.Think about the time, when getting money was actually a challenge, instead of this days, that you go to the TOP 50 and you just can't believe the enormous amount of money the players have. Maybe try the following, try to think about those days that you would consider "the good old days", and try to go back to them.It's not much of a review, but think about it... It might lead to something cool...
My review and ideas;Beginning CIT life: - When creating a first account, players start out only with 20k... this is certainly not enough as due to the fact that most players want to be a simple criminal/cop. But with 20k? No, players are forced to doing these repetitive jobs just to make like 30k in 30-60 minutes. Do you think that it's fun to sit afk or do these repetitive actions over and over again? No, at least in my mind. Players want money but they don't want to tasked with boring jobs. I don't want to come off as rude or ungrateful but why do you think most players donate? If you thought it was for supporting the server which of course is what donating does, they really just do it for the money. This of course added tons of inflation to prices causing vehicles to rise in price, back then a NRG-904(something like that) made a hole of about 150k, now they cost 650k. That is an over 400% increase in price. Now to work for that money L0 farmer makes absolutely nothing, you make about 24k an hour. At that rate to get your favorite bike you need to do this repetitive action for about 27 hours just to get the bike. Boring, not even fun to evade which is why I want to play again, but due to strict rules, if your banned you can pretty much never come back. Thus people evade.
CIT is an addicting server, especially when you have lots of money and not have to worry about working which feels like actual work instead of a Fun RP kind of way.
You did a good job with server obviously by hitting that 1300 player limit, but nowadays CIT can't go one day without someone getting banned. Also many players are afraid of staff members... believe me everyone is afraid to kill you in fear of a jail.

Thus people evade.Game Features Board: - The "In-game suggestion" or now known as "Game Features" board has quite some issues. I do see your understanding where your running out of creative ideas, but that is not the only issue. Many players suggest things to be removed because they don't like a certain aspect of it. Whats wrong with that you might ask? Well for one removing features does not solve anything, it just creates a problem for those who like the feature. The rule needs to be changed to "change or add" features but not remove features. I know that binds apparently are being "abused" but they aren't. They are just being used for something else instead of what they were intentionally supposed to be used for. Most suggestions about things getting removed is either about "Its desync so remove it" or "Im getting pwned remove it". Never about changing the feature so that everyone can come to an agreement upon the changes instead of downright removing/nerfing. It is really annoying to have one of your favorite aspects of CIT to be removed. Now should I even bother with the biased people who say things like "donator this donator that". I may have got mad at someone for acting that way and resulted in me getting banned(yep). But still if players can't view for all players who don't have access to that board, they should stay away from it.Administration: - This is where you will probably not read but I am going to review it anyway as this is what this board is about. It is really hard to find good staff who are consistent, willing to helping new players, understanding, nice without an attitude. I don't think I can name one, because that could never exist. But some staff are just outrageous, I understand that staff make mistakes and all that, but when it comes to banning people, they ban or even jail first before thinking and taking in all the proof. My experience with this is frustrating. Couple months ago before I decided to rage at forums and troll my enemy gangs. I was banned for "exploiting satchels" yea... exploiting, why might I be pissed? Well for one I never exploited. Everyone made these videos saying I was exploiter, exploiter........ and eventually after most of them got closed this one report actually worked. Guess what? I was falsely banned for 42000 minutes. I eventually made an appeal and got unbanned then few days later I was falsely jailed!!!! For griefing, I once again appealed and got it removed. After this I just didn't feel like playing anymore. So yea long story short I raged at how admins deleted a gang and got myself an indefinite ban. Yea sort of deserve it after I realized what I did, but I was just mad at how staff was treating me, and never get punished for any mistake. I wish I didn't do the actions that I did but still STAFF NEEDS TO MAKE SURE before banning/jailing someone. What ever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"? You also need to do something about this misconduct rule. Another annoying punishment players get randomly by forgetting to hide they car. Maybe what you should do is have like a car idle timeout. When car is x amount idle time then auto /hide it. That should fix "most" misconduct punishments. The staff team should try to prevent multiple punishments and try to keep the punishment spam clear. If people are getting constantly jailed by a specific rule then obviously something needs to be done about it.Criminal life: - This will be a small review of how I see the criminal side of things. First off I am one of those players who just doesn't like to do CnR events or kill cops. Why? Because its just a waste of time and money. I once got 100 stars and was in jail for almost 3k seconds!! Yea pretty much an hour or as long a staff punishment or pay 120k which is about 5 hours of farmer. I believe there should be a cap and reduce the amount of seconds you get per WL point. Players would much rather enjoy the game play instead of wasting their hard earned repetitive job cash or there valuable time sitting in jail. You may of added jail escape, which is pretty cool, but just gives you extra time once you get caught again. Another issue is "griefing", you get jailed for killing a cop before an event? Really? That is really annoying. You should instead however add that if you kill a cop within the CnR event borders, you get disqualified for something. Getting jailed is a real buzz kill and makes people mad when they don't even expect it. Weapons and duels: - You always hate when people complain about "old LV", but what do people mean by "old LV"? They mean they enjoyed the fast paced combat. Nobody likes spending hours chasing, wasting ammo on somebody because they either got spawn protection or the guns are nerfed. Why do people like explosives so much? They are quick and not only that, they are very fun to throw and get multiple kills instead of one. Why do many like weapon binds? Well because it allows faster combat making the deagle, sniper, shotgun much more effective than the traditional M4. One of the most fun things about "old LV", was spawnkilling. Spawnkilling allowed for players to take turfs much more effectively and faster. LV is supposed to be without rules, if you don't like it, don't come.CIT is an addicting server, especially when you have lots of money and not have to worry about working which feels like actual work instead of a Fun RP kind of way.
