After months of hard work, my server is finally ready to accommodate players. Do you have any tips for gaining a steady player base? Thanks in advance for any advice :)
- Don't be money hungry
- Don't play favorites
- Be fair and equal in punishments
- Optimize your server
- Listen to the folks that come in and their suggestions
- Understand that not everything warrants being brought into the server
- Maintain a healthy balance of crim vs pd
- Maintain a healthy balance of crim life vs civ life
these are great tips! thank you so much! 😊
Link to server discord? I’m down to join
Upload social media clips gameplay of your server, people will ask what server it is
That seems the best way to promote if you've already got a small playerbase.
Some folks also want to be in early in case the server does take off.
great tip! thank you so much!
Link to the server? Ive been trying to find small RP servers to join.
Well, as someone that is brand new to FiveM I will say be noobie friendly. Haven't had much luck myself, pretty much been messing around in test servers to get use to menus and what not. That could help ensure returns of people ( like me) that may stumble upon it. The other folks seem to be giving good advice. The servers I want to join I have a long wait list until I can apply but found them due to exposure on Youtube and Discord. Get your friends to spread the word to their friends that play. Do what you are doing now if you'd like to get a mixture of different type of people. Good luck! =)
thank you so much for the advice! :)
drop the link and i’ll check it out :)
Fix the basic police RP and similar aspects because these are what make new players stick around. Make some cars cheap enough to be bought after a few hours of grinding, while keeping the nicer ones expensive. This will at least satisfy grinders. Identify your good roleplayers and reward them by offering them a business or something similar. Don't got the attention span to finish this

You need to build your community organically, the most important thing is to build consistent community with friends who are able to bring in players through small time RP and who are consistently on. Just having good server isn't enough, and you'll need to really have a focus on building an organic base/community to build up to a larger size.
If you don't already have a group of consistent players/friends willing to spend the time in a small server, it's going to be tough.
