I have to give Eclipse RP some credit where it is due. in DOJ RP for example, you get to pick your role and your financial status, which eliminates the money making temptations for many players. In other RP servers, it is not about money. Regular GTAV online is literally just about making money. Think of it this way: Eclipse RP is literally just regular GTAV Online with strict rules. Did I also mention that there are very few house properties for sale and they are all very inflated because people are so desperate? It destroys the whole point of RP in my opinion. I mean heck, If you go the bank (A no crime zone that is basically the hub of the server), all people do there is flex their cars and look rich.
That is why there are so many of them, and it just ruins the game for others because in the end, those robbers just want to make money and be rich as well.
I honesty think for all of the robbers on the server, they would be too scared to rob somebody in real life, so that already brakes fear RP. In the server, one of the rules is called "Fear RP" which basically means you have to fear for your life in situations (ex: You cant run straight into a gun). In my opinion, the mass amount of robbers there are on the streets is very unrealistic. Here's the thing: Eclipse's goal is to make the server as realistic as possible (which is why factions go by real hours of pay). Here's proof: During my time, myself and many others constantly got robbed by small gangs. It just seems like the overall goal is to make money. Making drugs is also very difficult, which I will explain later. Other than that, without applying for a faction job (which all have very very strict applications, by the way), the only half decent way of making money is by making drugs. Quite frankly, those jobs are more fun than the actual faction jobs. There are "freelance jobs" which are the basic minimum wage jobs that players can get without applying. When you first join the server, you start with a small base amount of $7000 and you get a slow income of $5000 from the "government". The way money works is absolute garbage in eclipse RP. I was bored of the server, and here's why. Again, I am going to explain all of this in the next section, this is not a rage post because I got banned. I eventually got so bored of it so I just started trolling with a work bus which ended up getting me banned. Made 0 money as there were no set rules for group robbing and other projects. I then started my life of crime, I joined the "ballas" gang thinking I would make a fortune. I soon quit that because the lowest rank mechanic's job was basically standing around doing nothing (they would never promote even the best of us). It payed me the best money I have earned on the server however it was a salary based on real hours, so it sucked. I was able to get one of the faction jobs as a Mechanic on the forums. Most of those situations was me getting robbed, which I will rant about later on.
I played peacefully on the server for a few months, learning how to RP in situations. I eventually figured it out and it was all good. Right away I noticed there were some different menu features and game mechanics, which were extremely difficult to figure out at first as there was no guide and since everybody I saw was "in character" nobody would just tell me how to do it. Anyway, it all started a few months back when I decided to join it because I wanted to try something new. Throughout the report I do give facts about the server but ultimately me not recommending it is just my opinion. THIS IS LIKE GENERAL LEGIT INFORMATION FROM ME.īefore we begin, let me state that yes: this is all my opinion. DISCLAIMER: I AM POSTING THIS HERE INSTEAD OF ON RAGE/ECLIPSE FORUMS SO HOPEFULLY NEW PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PLAY RP WILL BE CONVINCED NOT GO TO ECLIPSE.
