Jesus, I'm delighted to see this server Die. During my time here, the experience with players was okay, but the staff, like Nimo and others, have big egos. If they disagree with you, they will dismiss your opinion. Additionally, the owner doesn't care about the community. The only reason this server is still active is because of Ecott, who spent $50k on skins for Garry's Mod. Zeeptin has been disrespectful towards community members. Avoid this server at all costs, as there are only toxic individuals here. It's time for it to die off and stay dead .

hey owner, lets have a chat.
hey owner, why not un ban a user that did absolutely nothing? and the amount of money that I spent makes me sick that I was banned for speaking out on how the server was "more active back in covid" which, it was dude, and I wasn't saying that to make you angry, but you need to grow up. I talked to you the way you deserved to, and its okay, I understand. but you really need to grow up. you cant just ban people off your communications server but not in the game because they cant do anything in game while they are banned in the discord.
I've been here for a couple of years and I can say, I made awesome moments with people, but it has to come to an end, because you are petty. I hope everyone reads this and doesn't feed money to this guy. il remove this if he messages me on discord, and actually talk to me unlike the first time, where he blocks me when he gets butt hurt. thanks for nothing, zeeptin, thanks for the $800+ spent on your server.

An honest review of the server from an internal view and an external view.
While I've been within multiple gaming light servers from CWRP to PoliceRP to ImperialRP to CloneWars Life RP (Legit just a reskin of PoliceRP) to SCPRP I've noticed the same issues over and over again. I will lay each one out along with a way that they could be fixed if this company actually wishes to change its current way its going.
1. CWRP/IMPRP
I am going to put them together as they are basically the same but reskins of each other in all honesty. The Clone Wars RP was an alright server honestly enjoyed it but it become corrupt towards the end of its life time in which that killed the server sadly. They than opened up Imperial which was a fun server for the first few years but quickly become corrupt with inactive managers and even more inactive SMT/JMT who when they did get in game would abuse their power which ey I get it they worked up for that rank but at the same time if I am a new player and I hear the Head of Staff screaming at a player because something didn't go the way he wanted that would turn me off and I would run the other way. This could be fixed by actually holding the SMT/JMT to a standard this will become more apparent in this review as we go on. We will now move onto the officers/commanders within Imperial while some will be really nice and actually want to help you and make a group of people who work together you will have others that just want power or their friend groups to be in command. This is a big issue in this server specifically but is an issue in almost all of the gaminglight servers as it leads to where if you don't know the people you'll most likely not become an officer or even get the chance to be apart of them as they hide in VCs away from others.
I would say honestly Imperial and the CWRP that came before it are some of the most unwelcoming servers I've been to and honestly the best way to fix it is to reform it and remove the actions that have led to this being an issue.
2. PoliceRP/Clone Wars Life RP
Clone Wars Life RP was basically a copy of PoliceRP but with a Clone wars reskin on it not much really happened with it but it was a fun server if I am going to be honest wish that it stayed but ey.
PoliceRP which is the main server honestly it seems like nowadays is a far cry from what it was back in 2018-2020 when it actually felt like a roleplay server and not just a Dark RP with a police shell over it. This server over the years has decided to bring laser weapons and overpowered items which has broken the balance and honestly they don't seem to care they just add more and more broken bs or remove something that they say is OP and replace it behind the scenes with something that is ten times more powerful. That wouldn't be an issue if anyone could get it but thats not the case. "SMT" feels the need to have a No F*** Off Swep very classy guys but anyways that one taps people and you have no counter to it in which they bring that into RP situations a bunch and while you may say well they are SMT they prob aren't on a lot you would be correct. They aren't on a lot but when they get on they make players not want to play and just go AFK which adds to the player count that just already AFKs to get 1 free credit every 20 hours. This in all honesty is stupid as its using their hardware to get 1 credit which is about equal to 1 USD meanwhile they could for example do the same thing and try to mine bitcoin and would likely get a better investment but they also award staff for doing this as well as encourage department command members to do it for promotions or rewards. I will now go on to command members because I got a lot to say. Lets start with PD Command members from what I've seen its mostly a friend group of who knows who as in you won't get that rank no matter what they do. You could spend years going at it and someone who just joined might shoot up to Chief out of nowhere. I will quickly go over the Tactical Departments which are made up of SRT/DF/SWAT. I will mention some key members at-least from what I was playing still no idea on if they are still here but SWAT Commander Voxis/SWAT Captain Voxis was a guy who would use his power to blackmail others into if they didn't do what he wanted they would get demoted which normally did happen. We will now go quickly over a few SRT members and the lucky people in that is SRT Locus, SRT Mikey, SRT Kitty, SRT Scout, SRT Kevin, SRT Duncan everyone I have listed here is corrupt or I have seen act corrupt in some way during their time within SRT but they have been rewarded with SRT Command Ranks because they are either Staff or High Level Donators who basically paid their way into the inner circles.
Now Delta Force the department that is paid for completely and is just basically overpowered because someone had money.
3. SCPRP
I'ma just keep this short but SCPRP is now just DarkRP with a creepypasta attached to it it has sadly fallen from glory and honestly I miss the days they hit 100 ppl.

Please Read This Before Playing
They're slow to complete community suggestions and fix bugs, and the server lags. Some bugs have been in the server for over a year, and some suggestions have been uncompleted for over a year. Many players like myself will experience significant lag at the worst moments, like during a chase or gunfight.
Also, the owner will strip other people's workshop content and sell it for money.
Also, whenever management is online, they screw around and use overpowered weapons.
Edit: The owner is very fragile when it comes to criticism.
Response from GaminglightNov 26, 2023
I'm sorry to hear you had a poor experience with us! I am always available in TS for any player who has issues can come speak with me one-on-one, but I will address a few here. For bugs that have been in the server for over a year, I do not know of many, but if they are in the server, it is probably because they are low-priority bugs and do not affect the game too much. For suggestions, we have to be highly selective with what suggestions to implement and time priority with these meaning (like any company) some suggestions that are accepted will not be put in for years. Right now, we currently have enough suggestions for each server to be developing constantly for 3+ years. We use standard industry practices to decide which suggestions get done in what order. As for "the owner will strip other people's workshop content and sell it for money," this actually isn't the case. We aren't "stripping" anything. If you read the Steam Workshop terms of service, anyone is allowed to do this. It has been this way for 10+ years on Gmod, and I do not see this changing anytime soon. When creators upload their content to the workshop, they agree that server creators can use their content as they please, and the workshop creators are 100% fine with it. With the management abuse, I have not received any SMT reports reporting this. If you have seen this, I encourage you to please utilize the SMT report form so that we can make sure this isn't the case.

Server owner and SMT deplorable
SMT abuse their powers you report them, nothing happens. SMT give themselves guns and more hp. I was fighting SMT and they literally no clipped through a wall. Cant link evidence on here.
Zeeptin (server owner) is incredibly hostile and unfriendly. I offered to do a branch update for free. Got told "We dont let roleplayers touch are code"
Then when I said all I needed was the jobs names on the code I didnt see the big security issue?? As it is literally 2 lines of code to be changed per job, I got told to "think before I speak" for asking a question, quite simply he treated me like garbage for offering to do something for free.
I also thought he was done speaking and when I started speaking he literally shouted at me "DO NOT INTERRUPT ME" literally the first time I accidentally did it he treats me like that.
So I got moved back in to a channel after, he
told my high command to move up a channel to presumably talk about me and try get me in trouble.
After the demeaning way he talked he just met, I told him F you and got perm banned.
Ironically he said something along the lines of "if he treats the owner like this I can only imagine how he treats others" as if he wasn't a condescending weirdo to someone HE just met
Clear Zeeptin has an ego complex about the server despite it being dark rp base just set to SCP, most of the sweps are bought or pulled from other servers
The map is literally from Civil. GOC, a new branch to the server, literally an idea yoinked from Civil, another competitor SCP server.
The server has blatant pay to win mechanics such as only donor guns (just look up
'man spends 50,000 on gmod) from Bub games if you want to see the cash grab nature of the server.
When I brought up that $20 to change a model is ridiculous it takes less than 3 minutes to do, Zeeptin tried to say something about the "macroeconomic" factors whatever that means.

Not only a headache, but an absolute robbery as well.
This server is not only filled with a bunch of people larping way too seriously, it’s singly handedly one of the most egregious offenders of overcharging I have ever seen from a server. They don’t clarify to users much about what’s happening with their items or where their money is going. RP servers should be about fun and community not squeezing every penny out of your players.
