DTV Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 This isn't a major suggestion that should be prioritized over other important things but I think there should be a rule that prevents servers from being advertised if the server isn't actually launched yet. SA-MP has this problem and it annoys me that I get interested only to see that it's not even online yet. I think it'd make sense that for servers that want to advertise that haven't launched yet to do it in the Servers section and for servers that are finished and online to advertise in Server Advertisements. Let me know what you guys think!
Joshua Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Warning: Now, I may be partial as I have an Advertisement in this section that is not live. So, I agree with your statement here... this is a rule that should eventually be put into place, but ever since the merger of GTA:Network and RAGE Multiplayer, a lot of communities (including mine) are still in a development phase. This modification is still extremely young, and the development process takes time - Communities are attempting to grow their base as they develop. Now, as I previously stated, a rule for this section after a while would be needed, but as I see it: Don't fix what ain't broke. 1

Yes I am an Administrator for an Advertisement on a server not open yet, but being RAGE is still young and doesn't have many open, this rule shouldn't be implemented yet until more servers have gone live and RAGE is more lively and has much more servers open and attention.
Joshua Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 If you actually look in the Server Advertisements section of the forums, you'll notice there's a total of 14 threads even posted, the majority of which are yet to open. Essentially, during the interim would be limited the potential player base for all of these communities that are not open yet. I've posted this discussion in the RAGE Discord as it truly is a topic that needs to be discussed. I'm a strong believer that this does need to go into effect - but let's treat this like US Law, say we made a big change and don't actually do it for a year. 1
