Custom guns that don't suck
100 less rules
better admins
more active players
more resources devoted into the money maker for the community
A new policy that isn't three strikes
More rp and less printer farming

I could make 100 more of these, point is, TNS stopped giving a shit about darkrp. Admins stopped playing on it, so players stopped playing on it. Not only that, but the new guns were worse than the mad cow ones, if not just for the constant disappearing weapons. Most of the players base was also terrible, and every death resulted in having an admin called over. In short, it became bitching about every little thing possible.

My advice? Shut darkrp down for a month. Have a few admins come in and play test it looking for bugs, re-release it with everything fixed. Also host more events on darkrp. Nothing renews interest more than a stupid novelty like zombies survival. Or a cool faction like CPSTU.

(Oh, and a map that is new. Kengon's downtown is fantastic, but it nees a few updates. Maybe renew it once every few months.)
