I moderate the DarkRP subreddit and own it's subreddit discord (The reddit sucks but the discord is OK) and it's crazy how almost every single person who comes into the discord or reddit will agree how terrible DarkRP has become, but for some reason, despite almost everyone agreeing it's bad, the crappy servers at the top are still at the top. It's weird to have a vocal minority and a silent majority, but that's really how it is.

There are players who just play whatever shit they see on the server lists and don't put any thought or consideration into it beyond that, and it makes DarkRP very weirdly seperated as a community. I'm trying to pull the community together as best I can but it's not the people talking who are the problem. It's the people who play big servers without question, slowly draining all the life out of any creative endeavors to better the gamemode. I have about 1700 of my 2k hours in gmod spent in DarkRP.

It is the most hours that I have in any game I have ever owned. I can say safely that I am expert on DarkRP. Into my point.ĭarkRP is autism constructed from cancer with a dash of toxicity and some homosexualty. But its MY autism constructed from cancer. One of the best things about DarkRP is how ironic it is. Its not real “RP” it is sort of Anti-RP and alot of it is just complete ruleless chaos. There is no experience like joining a downtown map killing 10 people and finessing your way out of a ban, and then getting banned 30 minutes later permanently for propclimb. Yes all of the server owners and admins are hypocrites. My point here is Gmod DarkRP is my favorite game/subgame ever.Īnd yes it is completely pay to win at this point but if you give a server owner $20 you get pretty much ban immunity and you can break every rule under the sun with the lightsaber shit they give you.

It is arguably the worst game ever but it is fun. RPing is fun when its not super serious.Played around the same timeline from what I can remember. Tons of greedy servers existed back then, but we had good servers to balance them out. Every present day DarkRP server is pretty much Free-For-All death-match, with shitty, laggy- generic addons, VIP ranks that are just ridiculously powerful & out of control. Owners have this annoying delusion that more addons somehow increases gameplay potential, but in reality it's not the content that I play for, it's the community, cause that's the only catch that had me sticking around servers for a long time.

Bad communities, with addons that don't contribute anything to the roleplay experience, is what I experience in 2019.
