In response to "Make TMP paid" - My suggestion: Create a server for Master Truckers and for people with 0/1 active bans

[Lowlander]

Suggestion Name: Create a server for Master Truckers (Patreon) and people with 0/1 active bans

Suggestion Description:

A separate server that is accessible by either being a Master Trucker Patreon supporter  or, if you are not a Master Trucker Patreon supporter, you can access the server if you have 0 or perhaps 1 active ban, tops. 

Any example images: 

Why should it be added?:

This will reduce the amount of trolling and toxicity experienced in server 1 in highly populated areas. There are plenty of people who I feel don't care about the rules and, in my opinion, do whatever they want. Also, having a server like I described is also giving something extra back to Master Trucker Patreon supporters. 

N.b: The 0/1 active bans would not be a requirement for Master Truckers. 

 

I felt like it was better to make a separate topic than to hijack/break into the earlier topic about making TMP paid. I also feel like this suggestion is sufficiently different.

 

(This suggestion was removed/not posted so I'm posting it again. I'm not sure why it got removed. If a moderator removes it again, please explain to me why, so I know )

I approve of this!

I don't support this because even when TruckersMP brought back 150 kmh, people who wanted 150 continued to play in Sim 1 so even if a new server is opened very few people will play on that server.
So I think this new server will remain empty like Sim 2 and people will continue on Sim 1.

The idea itself is good, but I think that access to such a server for people with 0 or 1 active ban is not a good way, there are many people who do not have active bans because they have not been on TruckersMP for a long time, unfortunately in many cases their driving is not satisfactory, it would still cause problems on the roads. There would have to be some skill tests, which is difficult to do, so if something like this were to be created, I think the server would have to be only for patrons.

But in the case that people with 0 bans enter the server and drive like crazy ... stuff will always happen, now matter how good you drive. People could even decide to ram into you in a fit of rage, no matter how good a driver they are, otherwise. 

If the people with 0 active band cause problem, they get recorded, reported, and, in case they get banned, they will have to play on one of the other servers. It would not be such a problem, because it would be manageable precisely because of the 0/1 active ban restriction, I think.

[promarek52]

You're right, I think that then it would have to be available only to people with 0 active bans, then they wouldn't want to commit offenses because they wouldn't be able to play on this server anymore. I would also add a time limit from the moment of creating an account on TruckersMP so that completely new players do not enter such a server, then the idea would be complete 

[djoh]

I don't see how this suggestion is useful.

 

The server you're suggesting to make will basically alternate Simulation 2, which is already almost empty most of the time, so I highly doubt there are many trolls on that server. And even if there are - it would be extremely hard to stumble on them, in comparison to Simulation 1.

the thing is truckersmp kinda implemented the 150kmh limit quietly and it never got any attention and everyone kept playing on sim 1 because thats the only server they "see" since everyone is used to only playing sim 1 server because its the only popular server really, if they switched the 110kmh and 150kmh limit on sim 1 and sim 2 or whatever it is nowadays people won't migrate to sim 2 because they dont want the 150kmh limit, they ll just keep playing sim 1 unbothered because they dont care about any other active server really, idk, i hope this makes sense xd

Yes, having a server where patrons can drive without messing the game of average players would be nice. After all these accounts can not receive a ban, no matter how dreadful they behave in-game. Practice confirms it.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Whether or not you are a Patron .. has literally nothing to do with getting banned, or not. If you break the rules, you can get banned. Even if you're a Patron.

[LuX.]

If you wanna play on a dead server then join Sim 2, no need to make another one only for patrons.

[FlixcoLP]

I think this is not a good idea because creating another server would possibly make the other ones more empty, means that the chance to actually see a player when driving is getting lowered. Or this extra server would just stay empty

[Interstate Nomad]

The past has shown that players prefer to play on the server with the most players.

Opening a new server with exclusive requirements to join will likely reduce the amount of trolling and toxicity, because ... there will hardly anybody around to troll or to play with.

 

[AkiraKurosawa]

This suggestion makes sense only when considered alongside active ban counts and playtime.
If both active ban counts and playtime are evaluated together, it would provide a meaningful metric, allowing elite players to engage in realistic gameplay.

For example :  players with an active ban count of (0) and more than 1,000 hours of playtime.

Best regards,

If SIM1 was to ban cars and enforce a 90kph limit, and SIM2 would stay the same, casual players would probably transition to SIM2, thus resolving the "SIM2 will never work because SIM1 always has more players". As soon as SIM2 starts getting close to SIM1s numbers, people are going to choose a server based on what they are looking for, realism? or casual drive. The more restricted SIM1 is, the less casual players will play on it, and they'll go on SIM2 or other servers, so those will get populated

TMP have already declined to change the servers. I’d much prefer a server where only Validated/verified VTC Drivers can access, but again, not gonna happen! I’d also like a realistic server (Road rules & speed limits apply) but unlikely to happen.  
 

Simulation 2, is not used by that many and as far as I’m aware, there is not that much cold that happens on this server. 

[Lz_TMP [UK]]

I like the idea, but i dont support it, will make specific servers smaller, and will kinda take the whole point away from TMP in a way.

Also its like your seperating yourself from people, where some with a lot of bans have been treated unfairly, so i wouldnt look at is as if you have 0/1 active ban, your elite

Also, some people dont want to spent 5 dollars a month, to the staff who treat most of us like were idiots, or don't even fix there desync or optimisation issues, 

[Gunslinger.]

Good idea

[Jet.]

i can see it both ways,

 

i can see it for a positive as they are people who are willing to pay to have some type of exclusiveness and feel maybe there would be less problems.

 

as for the negative for the people who are F2P may feel it would start going into the direction of PTP (Pay to Play) and may start turning away because of that, 

another reason if they have have more bans or if they get banned on that server may feel like they are being sectioned which may result in sub sectioning of classes rather then being universal.

There would also be less people due to the constrictions.

 

Personally, i think i would oppose this idea at this current time just to many variables that would have to be thought of

[Guest average_player_f]

I’d agree only if there are separate servers exclusively for players with zero active bans, and of course, with a minimum account age requirement of 2 or 3 months for all of them.

I don’t know how crowded it’s going to get, it’ll probably end up like Sim 2, as Djoh mentioned above. But if it’s feasible, then it should apply to all of them.
 

This suggestion is completely biased. So, if I’m just a regular player, I need to be some “perfect little peasant” with zero bans to play on that server, but someone who pays $5 can have multiple bans and still get in? Seriously, what kind of logic is that?

It's not about fairness anymore. Honestly, it’s disappointing and frustrating to even see ideas like this being entertained.

[Аrda]

good idea 

[xosho]

Honestly, I don't think it'll make much of a difference... The server will basically be empty. There's already an alternative to the chaos of SIM1, and that's SIM2.
