I mean it'll keep you busy but unless you have a short-lived time on the server planned out ahead of time, you won't last long with the owner; say anything remotely negative about the cashgrab he call... See more

I don't think you know the actual definition of extortion?

10/10

Overall amazing community interactions and responsive staff members as well professional managers and members of SMT across all servers are understanding of their roles and positions and always are looking to bring about changes with an attentive owner who tries to appease the masses. Every business interaction I've had with GamingLight has been quick and easy and any issues that arose were fixed within a timely manner if not by Zeeptin then by the amazing Support Team that GamingLight has.

Asides one major problem that is imperial Gaminglight is genuinely a great place to be apart of SCP one of the funest experiences I've had in a long time and the ppl here are genuinely kind even the owner himself Zeeptin is a kind person patient as hell too genuinely I admire his patients wish I had that kind of patients he's willing to work with you to solve problems. With out this community I would not be in a good place so in a way Gaminglight saved me from myself. Good friends like Bop Ghost Spixe All these guys make my exsprince here in Gaminglight like a family

Poor Support System.

I had purchased a package that I had though gave me something that it did not, and I wanted to try and talk to the Support Team to see if there could be anything done that would help me. In my 1 hour of looking around not only in the forums, but also the discord sever and the store page itself, There was no real way that I could talk to a member of the Support Team other than messaging them directly.

After looking at PayPal for an option to try and contact them, I stumbled upon a website link that seemed to be the official ticket service where I could try and contact them, only to find that the website link lead to a "404 Page Not Found".

After another hour of looking, I yeild. I give up in trying to find a solution, and will try and make the best out of this situation. In trying to find a solution in making this mis-informed purchase, I have found a site that has a terrible support system, and wish to share my experience with others that my have had the same sort of journey I had taken in trying to find someone to talk to.

So yes I have problems with one server but genuinely it's not a problem that should effect Gaminglight as a whole.

Cause I love the ppl here.

A dying community

So for a few years, GamingLight was going strong. Full servers constantly and a strong community, specifically SCP-RP. However, staff members with zero accountability and/or checks and balances like Pillercat, Weiss, and Chief, and a pay-to-win system that incentivizes paying hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars for custom classes ended up taking the server from the top 5 in GMod to scarcely able to hit triple digits during a holiday. Zeeptin's unprofessional, abrasive behavior to the public didn't help: just look at how he talks to people who have spent thousands of dollars in the Premiere Club Discord channel, threatening to ban them because they're eager to get what they paid for. Pretty scummy behavior. People have also been banned for writing negative reviews here.

GamingLight's biggest issue was that it relied too heavily on the custom class idea. When you can spend 5k for a MTF branch or a $500 for a class that is stronger or of equal strength to the default classes that are supposed to maintain order in the site or in D-Block, you are inherently destroying the gameplay balance and any semblance of roleplay, semi-serious or not. At what point does it make sense to have D-Class with better armor and weapons than GenSec? And as a result, this business model takes up resources and time that have constantly shafted the default branches time and time again when they've tried to get classes, models, and so on for their branch updates. Zeeptin chose the quick and easy monetization model of CCs, but in the long term he lost.

If he had actually invested money in paying a team of developers (does he even pay Coltable or Snar?) to focus on the server itself like other currently popular SCP-RP communities did, it could've paid dividends. Look at how well they're doing. Instead, he catered to the few that could afford the ever-raising cost of collectibles, CCs, and other nonsense and they're pretty much the only people that play now because of the sunk-cost fallacy: they've already spent so much, so they can't leave now right?

It's Zeeptin's right as a business owner to run his business as he sees fit. But unfortunately it's our right to vote with our feet, and many, many of us have at this point.

As per previous reviews, I don't think it's a big deal that Zeeptin slipped up and accidentally used a slur in a ban reason - sounds like the person he banned was frustrating him and he typed something in anger. But it speaks to his character that he not only lies about it in responses here, he deletes all traces of the ban, and has a filter that bans people for saying the exact same slur on his servers.

Let me just respond to a few of these points because I think you are misinformed about a few things I think I can clarify. First of all, I appreciate your review and your thoughts because our community runs largely off of feedback from players just like you.
First, October is historically a bad month for us vs other servers. I think due to our playerbase being mostly college and high schoolers, everyone has a lot going on. If you don't agree look back in historical charts for our servers for every October.
Secondly, I am very against faking our player counts and other things you see our competitors doing. If you don't agree with this as well I suggest looking into the players/accounts that constantly play on those servers.
Third, I think yes we have a lot of work to do on balancing and no it will never be perfect but yes we can def work on that so it is fun for everyone regardless of how much money you spend with us.
Lastly, if you look into how ulx/lua works if you ban someone for something like 'abusive chat "loser"', the "" around loser aren't escaped properly so the reason comes up as 'abusive chat loser' without quotes around loser. I feel like most people that see that reason can probably put two and two together and that's why it stayed a ban for probably 3 years...

SCP-RP Staff

Sadly my experience with the staff on SCP-RP has been relatively poor, a toxic environment with no Senior management watching over them. I had an issue yesterday where a staff member told me to "grow up, get a life and stop being a sad c**t" after I reported someone for calling me a "re***d" in-game. It left me quite upset.

I can't recommend this place to my friends or family as it seems like a very toxic environment.

Sorry to hear this. If this is true, please come speak to me (Zeeptin) in TeamSpeak and I will make this right.
