Low population on server

Suggestion headline:Adding christmas update with 1dp in preset, Global Unban
Importance of suggestion: 9/10
Why should it be accepted: So i came back like month ago on server and i think there is a problem here and i wanna just suggest some ideas that came to my mind because there is a problem here in my opinion.Thing is i live in Europe GMT+1 and at my time already at like 20pm, or 21pm there is only like max 10 players on server which makes me not even wanna join because its not fun when there is like only 10 people on server in my opinion, so i tought players would need some motivation in order to make lsrcr active again because i remember before i could play at like 2,3 am and there was like minimum 20 players which was fun now like i come at 21pm and there is 10 players and when i see that i dont even join and i bet other people who see 10 players they might not even join because low population, so my first tought is a global unban, not because i like unbaning cheaters and everyone because i think there is alot of players who would just come back and play the game again, and if cheaters come back there is enough staff team to deal with them and to be honest i mean if someone is gonna wait for global unban to cheat thats just like no brainer because if banned guy wanna cheat again he is proboble gonna ban evade and do it (not giving ideas just saying).So i think maybe a global unban would give some players back and rock some numbers up at server atleast. My second thought is making a same christmas update as it was before (idk was it there past few years i wasnt there but one with presents and stuff it was every year before) making a same christmas update BUT instead of jailcard put 1 Donation point as reward and put percenteges higher so people would like to get on server and get more dps that will attract them for sure , and proboble some of u think like people are not gonna donate because of that they just gonna spam the presets and farm dp, well i think opposite i think add a rule u can only take 1 present in 30 minutes and i think that more players will come to play because they will be motivated to get a dp and proboble most of them will stay after the update and then they might donate and server would be more populated.Idk it just came to my mind since it annoys me to see only 5 players at evening so i just gave my opinion. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask me.
Edit: And by global unban i mean unbanning all players from all time from all years unbaning legit everyone, it might sound drastic but i bet it will turn out making server alive.Also it would be cool not adding percentage for dp adding another cool things in presents like money and stuff.

Hey firstly Christmas presents have 1dp as a gift too but its too rare also we had special unban appeals recently i dont see a point in your suggestion

It's just a matter of a timezone so I wouldn't go positive with doing another global unban. We had a global unban a few years back and 2 special unbans ( one in 2015 and other in 2018).
And about the Christmas update, there were many changes last year. Many players got dps and special prize (5 dps I guess) from the presents. A cooldown was also introduced last year for taking presents and a rule to not bypass the cooldown ( joining with another account etc). I wouldn't recommend replacing jcs with dps because it will affect the economy.

Matter of timezone?Server is hosted in Europe.... Okay do nothing about it then i enjoy playing with afk wanted only on server.

I would rather suggest some different activities to be launched this year on Christmas. As the task of searching gifts was usually done by the old players easily as they know the locations. And yes adding 1dp and keeping 1jc both should be there and should be rare not extinct.
About the globan unban I wouldn't suggest that as there will be a lot of hackors again so better bring some updates that people/players want to prefer to play in a server. I know its pretty difficult to remove something which the server is known for but implementations are needed and it is necessary to keep the server on.
Although global unban is not the only and necessary solution for increasing players in the server.

But not the majority of players are from Europe.

What does the hosting location have to do with timezones??

Well usualy if server is hosted in USA most players are from USA because of the ping, if its hosted in Europe its lowest ping is in europe so logically most palayers would be from europe, that might not be the case here but maybe some of the europle players see player count 5 and they dont ever open samp again because they get dissapointed, im just trying to make server make something new so people would increase it doesnt have to be global unban, if they have something better then good im just giving my idea.

It's more related to the fact that the SAMP player count isn't nearly as high as it was a few years ago. The majority of players who play SAMP now are no longer from Western countries, but often Asia and the Middle east. A lot of the western players have moved on to newer games.

About the server player count, it varies a lot and I suspect exams are coming up for quite a few players now. I have statistics of the player count for every hour every day and I frequently check the statistics out. I would like to say that it is often higher than what you have stated, I can provide stats if someone is interested.

We are looking into making the server more attractive for new players and are looking at ways to improve the player count. Any suggestions for this is greatly appreciated.

About the donation point, there is already a chance of receiving donation points from presents and I feel like the chance is good as it is. Keep in mind, there are also other rewards you can get. We can however look into the memberships and make them last longer (like days maybe rather than till logout), if they are received from the presents.
