News Lawless Roleplay - help us stay alive!

Not open for further replies.
Lawless Roleplay has always been a server against the odds. When we first opened our doors in 2013, everyone expected us to fail. However, we hit over 100 players and despite the numerous attacks which kept us offline for a few days, players kept on coming - they couldn't get enough. Fast forward today, Lawless Roleplay has been open for 6 years and for the past 2 years people have been claiming that Lawless Roleplay is dying, closing and failing. Yet we remain online with a striving and active player base.

I am personally going through a very rough time in real life for the past 2 years however the support and love I received from the community made me realise despite all the harsh words and arguments - you guys are a bunch of good people. I want to provide you with a safe, stable and fun community where you can unwind and enjoy your time at Lawless Roleplay.

Since the start of 2019, we closed the donation store which meant that I had to personally pay $400 a month to keep the server online. In the past few months, this has been a real struggle for me. With all the reasons above combined, I have been very demotivated to spend any time on the community and with the risk of closing down last month, I got to see so many community members step up and offer their help in keeping the server online. This melted my heart to see people who were willing to really step up to keep the server online so they and their friends can continue having fun.

As a result, I have opened the new donation store up and offering a 30% discount on all items until Sunday 25 August 2019 using coupon code "LONGLIVELRP".

Your donations are guaranteed, if we do not meet our monthly quota ($400) and are unable to pay the monthly fees, the server will be closed and you will be refunded 100% of your donation automatically. However, I believe the community won't let that happen.

If this is proven successful and the community can hold the burden of paying server bills then I will be more inclined to update the server more frequently with new features, bug fixes and adjustments.

Thank you,
Barney Phife

He is literally saying that he won't update the game if we don't donate.
Sir, if you are unable to come, you can pass the leadership to another one for a while. But not asking our cash for updates.

Let's say it actually costs $400 per month(lol) there should still be more than enough money left to keep this server online for years.

Just think for a second, there are more than 500 businesses in the game, more than 130 lands, god knows how many months of Ivy have been donated since 2013. That alone should've been more than enough to keep this server running and I'm not even factoring in other donations like Tier 3 vehicles, NRG-500'S and Rose and Daisy. Not to forget the fund raising actions where he fucking resold big ammunation two times lol?
First time https://www.lawlessrp.com/threads/big-ammunation-market-27th-of-march-2017.106419/ sold for $620
Second time https://www.lawlessrp.com/threads/big-ammunation-25th-january-2019.174328/ sold for $205

The question is not does it actually cost $400 to host the server, the question is what happened to all the money that has been donated since 2013? Any person with common sense can figure out that the donated money didn't go to the server exclusively.

server's using OVH sas as host, if barney is using dedicated server instead of much cheaper VPS then also he has to pay 243$ per month at max
https://www.ovh.com/world/dedicated-servers/

The MAX you can pay for a samp server is 250$ a month. Why do you need 400$ per month? Do you guys not see that he is scamming you all? You guys work hard IRL and i understand if you would want to donate for your own sake of entertainment. But you are donating to keep his vacations going. Unless he shows us receipts or proof of where the whole 400$ is going, do not fucking donate and fuel his ego. Let it close if he wants to close it, there are far better servers that are going to open. Heck there is a better server that is already open that we can all go to. Also why donate here to a server with a mentally unstable owner when you can donate on a different server with better playerbase, better admins, and an owner who does not rip his own people off?

Talking to different community owners they said OVH gives discounts if you're a long time customer that is sticking with them for a long time, it can be cheaper, ~ 200 maybe

No no, it's much cheaper with Hetzner. We can get a pretty decent server under 50$.

And am not talking out of my ass.

Take for example

https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex42-nvme

Just 34 euros per month, with beafy server specs and good ddos protection.

400$ is clear BS

You are not a very good leader that can convince his people to give him money for nothing, maybe you should work on that
