well the server is running superb now don't know what the problem was but it's great now and yes there is a lack of RP but in the past 2-3 days I have giving and offered my help to about 3-4 players and they all love the mod so maybe we just need more people out there helping out a bit... you know like ask them if they might want some pointers, maybe a bit of cash or tell them about the starting quest ect. these things help to bring more and more players.
I would like to enjoy CF more but I seem to find myself giving tours to new people everyday I have been on and I hope it pays off in the future cause I miss the good ol RP days
