Arran Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 There is no "premium". There is only a VIP system which gives certain benefits to a player who has donated and I can assure you that getting admin assistance is not one of those benefits - most of CIT staff do not know if somebody is VIP or not. If you think admins "don't do their job" why don't you attain junior community membership on our forum so you can then apply to be a staff member and show us all how its done? Our server usually has about 100 more players than the next popular server which means we are the only server that has to deal with very large player counts and if you think looking after 200-254 players is easy why don't you apply for staff? I doubt any other server that has so many players on, would have better staff coverage as no other server ever has done. Also if you have a complaint to make regarding the conduct of an admin you can report them on the forum in the complaints board, rather than labelling all the staff as people who will ignore you and ban you for complaining? "If you don't speak english, you are muted. Muted constantly for not speaking english, you get banned for a set time." - That rule applies to main chat and its a totally justified rule, why on an English speaking server should we have people in main chat speaking all different languages? I'm sure you'll find similar rules on many other English speaking servers. Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You know, as far as favoring "VIP" players goes, it's sometimes the best thing to do. Since most VIP members are going to be experienced, and not tolerate as much crap from other players, they are typically a good source for reliable information on rule breakers. That said - it's wrong to not listen to non-VIP players, but apparently most admins there don't know what status a player has. In my experience as admin on FTA, sometimes I have to rely on the more experienced players in the server to tell me what's going on, and in some cases translate for me (as we don't have an english-only rule (not saying its wrong to have one)).

Discord Moderators Zango Posted August 21, 2011 Discord Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2011 On a 200 player scale, servers like CIT simply proves what you really can't help but expect. I don't know any place with a higher concentration of idiots than the Internet, for servers like CIT where you choose what to do inside the limits of the game, you would need all players monitored, a dozen of moderators and a pretty damn solid report system or belief in humanity. There is usually in the range of 0 - 5 admins online on CIT. Considering they hit around 200 players everyday, they're already doing exceedingly well. As Arran mentioned you can apply for staff if you believe you can help make things better, administering 200 players is a lot, especially since CIT got a tad of freeroam. You can probably imagine hosting a server with 200 concurrent players isn't anywhere cheap. Creating premium advantages toward a payment can do the trick for a server to survive. Not everyone is able to cough up £50 per month for a server, and those people who buy the premium benefits pretty much sponsor your gameplay. I don't see why they shouldn't be entitled more attention from the server staff. I can agree with you that your treatment is unfair, out of what you've written, but it's pretty much one case and as mentioned this is a big server where it's impossible for everyone to be happy. You can't go to a big concert without a few people being squeezed By the way, the English restriction is probably the biggest overall winner of MTA, one chat, one language. If you have a look at DKR, we have an attempt at multilingualism and let people talk into language channels which you can choose to mute. This just doesn't work out as the majority is either Spanish or Russian, thus the English speaking minority becomes the foreign language and pushed into the English channel, where the Russian and Spanish goes into the Default channel. As the server is in English this isn't really ideal. The easiest and far most effective method is to force English in the chat, and only allow other languages in local chats. Link to comment
Kernell Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It is extremely indignant at the behavior of admins on the server and the main developer of Arran, who, as the admin just a fool, and as a developer can not do anything. The server is full of bugs. Admins are thrown in jail for no reason. I went to the hospital in a police car to take a friend, but Arran put me in jail on 600 seconds without any reasons.

Xeno Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Are you really going to bitch about one of the biggest and most successfully servers on MTA? My opinion is, is that if you don't like the server, don't go there. Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The server is full of bugs. Admins are thrown in jail for no reason. I have to agree with these points - when you chose CIT, you are choosing quantity over quality. That said, Arran has made many contributions to the MTA community, and has enabled the MTA team to stress-test the server to find ways to improve performance. Link to comment
Kernell Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Are you really going to bitch about one of the biggest and most successfully servers on MTA? This server is popular for its reputation of MTA. There are more successful servers. Valhalla for example, but this really roleplay. CIT did not RP and even not RPG! (CIT is GTO/DM). My opinion is, is that if you don't like the server, don't go there. I will not go in there and tell my friends. John_Michael, This server is not suitable for testing. This server will consume much more resources of hardware, because the scripters did not care about optimization. (I'm not a player, I'm a programmer who knows and has extensive experience in this matter) P.S. You saw how the handcuffs are made? Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It is a very suitable server for testing because of the massive amount of players. Link to comment
Kernell Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yesterday I played on SA-MP server with 700 players - no lags. Link to comment
12p Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 lolwut? Why do you talk about SAMP in this thread? it has nothing to do with CIT... Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Today, I gave zero f.ucks. Link to comment
Kernell Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Benxamix2, Carefully read the topic! CIT with 300 players VS SA-MP with 700 players. Link to comment
12p Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So? I read the topic, but I still don't get why to talk about SAMP Maybe you're saying "SAMP is better"? Link to comment
AGENT_STEELMEAT Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The topic is about CIT, not SAMP... Link to comment
12p Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Precisely. However, every server has flaws. If CIT has bugs it's because Arran doesn't have enough time to fix them, while he's busy helping MTA Team or something (dunno). But there must be a reason for CIT to have 300+ players.

Kernell Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 But Arran have enough time to ban players without any reasons. Link to comment
12p Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Let's wait and see does Arran has to say about that. Link to comment
