i stopped playing frg as much as normal basically cause i got bored and real life seemed more appealing. I played a bit for the xmas event though it's been fun. I think one of the biggest things that puts me off is the level of tryhard. I wouldn't necessarily say FRG's players are super toxic except for when you "ruin" one of their rounds. For example, a month or so ago i decided to get on to play TTT. It was down to me and the last traitor with a few missing in action. The last traitor had been called out in chat and in voice chat in a panicked voice which i didn't hear again until I saw the same person take the KOS off the last traitor in chat. I did not believe this for one second and it was very obvious that it was a traitor with an id disguiser who took the KOS off. I used this thought to my advantage and killed the traitor as soon as I saw him. I won the round but I had him, a member, yelling at me immaturely for 3 constant rounds after it already happened to slay myself. He was very rude about it and I finally slayed myself and just got off. It was super offputting and I can't imagine how many new players have close to the same experience with "kos off location" rules.
I think KOS off location should be allowed, to an extent. I think it should be a judgement call on the player. If you are super sure of who the person is you should be able to kill them. If it's the right person you got, you shouldnt be slain. But if its an innocent, you should be able to be slain.
I'm also making comparisons to NTG and to why it managed to stay super busy for a long time. I think it's to do with the inventory system. There was a shit load of fun and wacky stuff on there and things felt more "colourful" as to here I remember first playing here and thinking it seemed more "bland". I think the inventory system itself on here is amazing. It's super polished compared to back on NTG and feels smooth and the coinshop is super cool too. I think maybe one thing is that there were a lot more wacky suffixes on NTG. Like prop suffixes. I know, I know. They were awful. But they were fun. All the different props you could get. Like easter eggs for easter events just for the novelty of it. But if we did add them here I think we'd have to make it so they don't instakill. I think there's also the fact of lower tier weapons, There was a clear progression of tiers on NTG. I think low tier guns on NTG felt less junk than rares or legendaries here. I think we have too many junk tiers that appear way too common for anyone to care about them. It's no longer really fun to work up the ladder for better tiers because its so easy and then you get to godlikes and celestials and nobody is willing to part with them because everyone collects them. I think primordials were a really good addition but there needs to be something more.
I feel like i'm just rambling cause I don't have any really good ideas, which is what I know you're looking for Brass, so sorry about that. I agree that FRG seems to be slowing down in activity. I think that to make everyone have more fun, everyone needs to take things less seriously. TTT shouldn't be treated competitively anymore. We need more crazy wacky ideas!!!! More experimental things!!! We need to go wayyy out there with ideas more!!!! Add them in overpowered. If they're overpowered, nerf them. Or else FRG's gonna die out just so a few people who rarely play can keep the "balanced" and competitive atmosphere. We have some really talented people on here and there's the full capability to make this a super busy server every day until 2 am.
I agree with Tobias though. Complete rule reform.
