I think that the multiple server idea may confuse some people in a way but it may just work, I guess we will have to see what happens but I will support MTA:RP no matter what.

I'm in, any scripting/mapping issues you have feel free to contact me on Skype. 
I've been with you since the beginning, I've just never bothered to stick around and be another inactive head admin when life came around. Any community ideas are welcomed, this was simply my idea that I felt and thought could work. Nothing is guaranteed, but stagnation has caused the collapse of more things than experimentation.
A duplicate server could work, the only problem would be the duplicity in people. We would have to completely copy the server so that all accounts and factions remained. I didn't think this was a viably possible idea, but it does what we wanted it to, a test run. This is, after all, a new idea for current members mostly and for them to help spread the word. Simply starting somewhere new and hoping people magically find out is not a good way to go about things.
Take the lessons everyone else has learned from starting their own servers. Learn from it. Adapt and work towards bettering it. You can try and try again, and sure eventually you'll succeed, or you can try and do it right the first time. MTA:RP has always been a community, no other ser.ver has ever come close to the tight knit circle this place has, none. If you put your mind to it and you try, going towards a positive outlook, I think our chances of doing anything greatly increases.

For Real though, thank you for clearing that up for those who dont know shit, and just assume stupid things without full explanation

I'd most definitely like to try out role playing that's more focused outside of the big cities. Perhaps it'll bring something back to me that I've failed to find in recent times while attempting to do stuff on mta:rp.
A small group of players in a single town would be a lot more entertaining than the same group of people aimlessly driving around a big empty city.
You'd actually see people from time to time, and the sense of community would be a thing in-game as well.
I'm also willing to contribute my efforts as a mapper and graphics artist into this if need be.

There will be many challenges that come with this.
1. Overloads thing about having 2 servers
I think this is a bad idea because during those 2 months of testing, youd just split up the player base and then both servers would have a really low playerbase to make it unplayable. I think we should before doing anything, make a save of this one. then start changing things around. if it fails just reload that last save and everything is back the way it is.
2. RP way of blocking it off.
A rp way would be by using the military. Make signs that say "Go any farther than this and you'll explode due to mines from WW2 era" or something like that. So the only safe area would be red county.
3. playerbase
I think this will raise the player base because what other server out there is just based in a certain area? none. Id love to rp in a different area than LS. LS is getting boring and dull.
4.Dev server
Why not test this out in the dev server? that way players can continue to play in LS until all properties and other stuff get set up. So when you do move it to the main server, its all ready and no one has to request for a house to be put for sale.
5. Volunteers
To help speed up the process of this, why not allow players to come and help you set this up so you aren't relying only 8 or so admins.
maybe get ex admins who know the commands help you set up stuff.
Im sure there are others like me whod love to help out in this.
Again, great idea. Im sl***y((FOr some reason, censors S L O W L Y)) coming back to the server, Ive gotten a job so im not as active as i was before.
If any help is needed, i'll gladly help out in anyway.

Overload, I think for the sake of our community, We need to try something different. I like LS because it's vast and flexible, but It's not really working with the playerbase as low as the Marianna Trench. I'll sacrifice what I have in LS to move to Red County as your first volunteer, and will help with deciding where to move and build Hex. I've already attempted to map my garage in the proposed area, and it cannot be done at a decent price. I'd imagine this area would heavily limit the mapping that gets added. However, Once we are free to return to LS as we choose, I want my garage back
Idea though: UNLESS there is a proper RP Reason, or a space limitation, NO NEW Property should be constructed outside the new area within the first 6 months of the move, or if the transition is deemed a flop, whichever comes first.. The Mapped spaces (Such as Hex and My Garage) Should remain in place, though have no interiors mapped to them Unless otherwise cleared by YOU and YOU alone. Once we figure out if it worked, We can remove the old mappings unless claimed by their ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTORS, NOT Previous Owners. If the original builder Does not wish to keep his property, then the most recent owner. If they don't want it, Then it's open-market for 1 week, and then, Deleted completely to cut down on the load of the server.

or you know, Make a save of our current game. Make extra saves of it so if we lose one, we got more.
then start making changes to the current one so if this idea fails we can just reload the map.
Also gotten another idea.
I think we should ignore the people who are really rich(Not ignore ignore but like pretend their money isn't in the economy so we could lower the price of buildings and cars. but keep the donator prices the same and offer a discount to those who have under a certain amount of IG money so its fair to everyone.
The reason prices are so high is because a high price = a high tax, since tax is an equivalent of the price rather than your income. If that was fixed, then this would be possible. But if you want prices that are not adjusted to inflation, you'll have the top 1% owning 99% of the ser.ver like it was before. I was the original admin who changed the pricing scales, and since then I've yet to see any one person own more than two of the major buildings/outlets in the game. It's disadvantageous to those who are low-income, but it's also advantageous. Pros and cons associated with it, but it's necessary unfortunately.

God those were bad times, even though I was probably the worst at doing it. :/
UPDATE:
Pulse said he is on board too.

Will the city limits be as they are in this map?

When moving to red county, use your playerbase wisely:
-Make the move happen for a reason (nuclear fallout, and such)
-Make it a big event (playerbase goes up, lots of RP)
-Don't re-open LS until a certain point (where playerbase is high enough) - all to be done RPly, ofcourse.

I wouldn't say a nuclear fallout, i'd go with a hurricane or a major flood in the city. A nuclear fallout if were being realistic then nobody would be allowed in LS. Like ever. I'll go ahead and say this. What about the criminals? I understand trying to lower the amount of them so it ain't cops n robbers. But people will still do it. There needs to be a fair amount of buildings and roads and such. So it's not just small town life. Because that would get old and boring real quick. And if we're going to move and RP will change, then we'll need at least one proper race track with good mapping to lower the amount of criminals just driving fast in the city. Cops would be able to focus on the actual people robbing stores and such. I support the idea now. As long as I get my money back from my crib in LV.
And we better be able to keep our cars. As I have multiple cars that I've had since I first joined the server and actually donated for. If we're just RPly moving out of LS that shouldn't be a problem. As *cough* I don't live in LS. *cough*

This would take a lot of work, time, and effort but possibly people could map an extension to Red County like a main town for all the government buildings and such.
The point is to move to a smaller area and settle the playerbase there, not move to a smaller area than expand it...

I logged in and noticed y'all had moved to Red County. I support that move. Still gotta say the most fun I've had on a RP server was back when we was in the county on Ved.ic and even that portion of LV we was in for that short while. Hopefully stuff like what we was RPing then is taking place now.
