Serious What is your dream serious roleplay server?

[mårten]

one without adm*ns.
full-on cowboy justice anarchy on some fallout style map.
let the players form their groups and develop the story instead of being lead by a series of events.

so frundtech + experiment?

TF2 RP, but outside of the firefights.

little concept inspired by some of Dallas writing.

humanity on a distant earth was slowly starting to develop into advanced civilisations when a severe ice age hits. Some flee southwards towards rumours and hopes of lands that are still unfrozen but most begin to dig deep into the caves below and form underground settlements. A long time has passed since the beginning of this new era and the entrances to the old world are now long forgotten, buried in collapsed tunnels further toward the surface.

The new world is destitute, yet it’s people still fight for their survival even if it means a life of misery. They farm cave breed livestock like pigs, chickens and muskox who grow more frail and fruitless with ever generation. They cultivate many types of mushrooms and other fungus mostly for substance, but some strains are also used for their healing, hallucinatory and even deadly properties.

The many settlements are connected by a network of endless black tunnels, carved out by early explorers and traders. After the supplies from the old world started running low, many settlements developed into savage tribes, each with their own culture and and beliefs. One thing they do all share however is the act of war. Raider parties are sent into the tunnels to kill and take for their own, many tribes also made good use of the meat left behind.

this isn’t really a practical idea for a server just some lore I might expand on later.

Yeah definitely, nothing really matches that feeling of despair I get from this sort of scenario.

Update for those asking, yes, my dream server is still happening. Here's some dank progress.

 

[Teaa]

I actually really like Papers Please as well and it would be a great idea for a serious roleplay server but I'd rather choose HL2 over Papers Please. Yeah, HL2RP might be boring but I like it more.
Actually, I really want a server that lets you turn at least into one synth, like a strider, hunter, dropship or a helicopter and make a huge war basically.
Or a massive combine vs rebel server, where some turn into combinee soldiers and some into rebels, some into synths, and some into vortigaunts.

Holy shit. As a raging Star Wars fan and someone who spent many weekends having SWB LAN parties, this is now my dream.

Got any links?

 

[Deleted member 5367]

hl2rp that actually allows a viable city-side resistance rather than resorting to outlands/canals to survive

 

[Zappericus]

Outlands/canals is sort of alright as a brief breather when you're a rebel main, but I agree.

Having dissident elements on the main server applies real and present stress and consequences of being discovered to mentioned elements, as well as simulates the reality that you are hopelessly outmanned, outgunned and still brave enough to continue the struggle. Not only is it a really cool IC goal you've set for yourself, but from an OOC perspective you're basically playing on the Dark Souls difficulty setting and that's pretty neat.

There's nothing good about private rebel rp.

Zombie Outbreak

The rain patters, the sounds of distant police sirens. It has been getting more and more secured in the city, random police checkpoints popping up, shops boarding up, houses being abandoned, gunshots ringing occasionally. The government tried their best to cover it up, but it was hard to do so, considering how many dead bodies show up each day. It was becoming hard to not notice it.

Bodies popped up more and more, eventually your work being called off rather suddenly. During this you hear automatic fire ring out from your local police checkpoint, making you look out your window, the sounds of groaning? Yes groaning fills your ears, once you look out the window of your ground floor apartment you see the quickly terrifying events unfolding outside the window.

Your forced to try and run for it, quickly bolting out the door, being greeted with a sight, as upon opening the door a body stumbles out onto the floor, the corpses back ripped open, one of the soldiers. Your forced to run the other way as the gunfire seizes, and the groans only grow louder as they pour into the apartment building. You run out the back entrance, only to be greeted by an equally terrifying event, the bridge behind your apartment being over run, and zombies quickly encircling you.

Your forced to run, and run you do. Right into that dark alleyway, the infected quickly chasing you, the roars of the infected are deafening, where they all suddenly came from is unknown...They are running after you, slower than you...You manage to run into a small alleyway, hoping to escape them...Only to see more coming down the alleyway at you.
It's the end...The infected run at you, pinning you to the ground, ripping you apart like animals as while your left alive for the entire thing...Everything blacks out...And the only thing left is silence, and darkness.

Spoiler: OOC

Basically it would be Pre outbreak to zombies, more and more popping up, outbreak slowly happens, engulfing the city and such, leaving the characters to try and stay with the slowly dwindling police force, or fend for themselves...I always wanted to do this sort of thing, it sounds fucking awesome.

Fucking Generations man

I vaguely remember a heavy rp focused server like that.
Like, the outbreak gradually got worse and they had a bunch of zombie NPCs without any lag on my rubbish laptop somehow.

That was TnB, I think.

Zombie servers struggle long-term but work fantastically as small, closed experiences.

BRO IS THAT PAPER, ID GIVE MY LEFT NUT FOR SOME PAPER

 

[Shwani]

I used to be in a different roleplaying community, it was for a mod for Mount&Blade Warband. There, people were discouraged to interact with other people OOCly and when they wanted to make a character, they had to write a short but convincing application to staff, receiving personal items and clothing for their character as well as money depending on the background of their character. If someone wanted to join a faction or group, they had to do this purely IC on the server. It was very enjoyable, but over time the population dwindled too much.

I just wish more servers were like that, where OOC fame was meaningless and there was less OOC scrutiny

 

[Lewis!]

I personally would like to see a serious roleplay server based around the game "Papers, Please!"

I was unironically working on that shit for a while with nutscript, had a document/passport system and everything. Too bad Nutscript coding is gay and boring.

Anyway I guess my dream server would be like 1700 era RP set in colonial America. With Redcoats, Militia men and Civilians. I'm in love with that period so.
