So I am going to both agree and disagree with you on this one. There are specific points that I do agree with and others I do not, so let me explain.
For the mafia families only staying in their properties and doing drugs: Not inherently true. I've been in mafia families for a while now, and let me tell you, most of the exciting things happen behind the scenes. They are things that aren't seen in broad daylight. Deals happen behind doors, parties are thrown for those exclusive enough, and killings are almost always private. That's the point of mafias, they're not supposed to have these insane shootouts and news-breaking headlines that everybody on the server knows about. They work from the shadows, and if you have the patience and hard work enough to endure it, you will see things through the cracks. It's more intricate than you realize. Two weeks isn't enough for you to see even a sliver of things, I can promise you that.
For the (lack of) RP going on: I am annoyed at the lack of roleplay, to be honest. There is rarely any passive properties open--MafiaRP is all about making money now, which saddens me because my favorite part about RP is passive properties. Whether it's bars, clubs, or parties happening, there seems to be a complete lack of it. I get bored because everybody is making money instead of roleplaying. While it makes sense, it's frustrating. I do everything I can to try to keep up passive RP by going to bars, throwing parties/events, and having conversations, but there's only so much one person can do. Events shouldn't just be "here is this thing that's going on, and here are weapons/drugs you can have." There should be festivals, parties, concerts, etc. that happen, even small things like mysterious figures, tensions, or strange happenings going around the city as events. There just needs to be more roleplay and less worrying about the economy. In my opinion, Mobster's Paradise was at its best when the economy was broken because people could actually roleplay and have fun instead of being obsessed with making money. That's probably a pretty controversial opinion, but for me, that's how I feel.
For the factions: I agree that there are way too many factions. There should be five main families for mafia (as it is MafiaRP and, in real life, there were five main families in New York), but it seems like we have too many factions that have 1-3 people online. Like I understand why, it's just that there are too many factions which I think causes disorganization in the server. I do like the diversity, but it may be *too* diverse.
For the UA and Gamemasters: I hadn't seen an event happen until a few days ago when I said something, so it is nice that there are finally becoming events. That being said, as I stated above, they are lackluster and don't bring much to RP except for a couple of minutes. But yeah, I have to agree that UA is rarely on, at least as far as I'm aware. I had the same problem with MP as I do with Diverge's staff team--there seems to be a huge disconnect between staff and members. Rarely do I even see staff as roleplay characters and too many tickets are taken saying that "sorry can't do anything about it" and ignored. It's annoying and happens too often. There are a lot of questionable people being promoted while I only see about three staff members consistently on a day. I think RP needs to be more heavily enforced 100%, as it's been pretty boring for the last week or so.
That's really all I have to say, as I just wanted to add to that. Thanks! <3
