What's your suggestion?:
Please bring back alcohol, this was one of many ways rpers made money in game, fast, easy, and created funny stories and experiences for many. There were whole small communities that sold and bought alcohol and circulated It around the community and removing it, I noticed the game had become slightly more dull. Sure, roleplaying as drunk is fun as a substitute but overall the real effect in game was far better. My main issue with it is the lack of money circulating. Lots of new players and people like myself who aren’t on all the time can’t get in game jobs or roles due to being unavailable and the lack of money not only makes gameplay slightly harder, but also frustrating for the person roleplaying in which I noticed many old players quit SRP due to that. In addition, I think there should be part time jobs for all, like after school cleaners, something that is a voluntary. Just something for students who want to make fast cash, doesn’t take too long, and doesn’t require skill like tailoring, certain functions, and such.

There is a number of suggestions I have for SRP, this is just one of the issues I noticed the most, I would apply some screenshots of people commenting how much duller SRP now is but they prefer to be anonymous and their opinions not shared on this platform.

Other job suggestions or easy money:
-More quests!
-A hiring board in plaza, a place where people can pin up job offerings like, clean my apartment, babysit my child/pet, A emotional support buddy, just somewhere people can put up quests of their own.
-a shrine helper, someone that learns, experiences what it’s like to work in the shrine without being really part of it. (This could also apply to KPD, hospital, Gov, Shops, just a way for ppl to experience it without getting paid fully for their work.)
-A pest control quest maybe?

There just needs to be more ways to make money besides auction, working in game, fishing, or tailoring.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
It would make money circulation easier, funner roleplay experience and opportunities fair for everyone, including new players and possibly bring back old players. This issue should be addressed, I know it isn’t the biggest issue but it is important.

"give us more money or let me be an alcoholic" yknow what fair enough +1

SRP lacks valid opportunity. It's typically the same batch of people working across every shop, faction applications are fairly difficult I'd argue and most certainly not new player friendly (except for shrine speaking from experience), and fishing is both unreliable and boring. Something a little bit more engaging that lets you actually be involved in the city would be good.

Nah, with your chest this time. SRP has definitely gotten duller from when I left in 2022 to when I returned last October. The attitude seems to have shifted towards OOC into IC oriented RP (as in, OOC friend groups develop into IC friend groups, and so they only RP within themselves rather than RPing with others).
The removal of alcohol, as far as I am aware, was justified by EULA compliance, though someone has apparently gone through the EULA and found nothing of the sort. I doubt they would re-introduce alcohol given this history; however, I do lowkey prefer not having alcohol since it shows RPH is willing to protect the minors apart of the server (at least in one aspect...).
There was an excellent forum post a while ago called (paraphrased cause I don't remember the exact title) 'Why the RP in SRP is silent', which is 100% worth a thought.

With SRP's resistance to large updates, I doubt anything will (effectively) be done about the economy issues that plauge the server for new players.

I see your point in protecting minors and although I do agree with it. It does not affect them in game and I understand it may create an negative influence on said minors. But, if a minor is playing a roleplay server where they are exposed to people older than them as well as certain topics, they should understand the risks and be mature enough to handle such contents. Minors aren’t dumb, some yes, but a lot understand the risks and simply do not care. SRP has definitely been become more dull, over the years and needs change, something new and fresh outside of the usual small updates.

I. . . . lowkey agree here? I want there to be more business opportunities ICly on SRP, believe it or not.

Alcohol was a great way to roleplay and make money, surprisingly! It's what singlehandedly kept the Business side of the Crime faction going. Meetings about alcohol deals and setting the prices for those? You can have those. Standing in an alleyway and selling alcohol? Even going to parties to network there? Researching shops and buying out their entire alcohol stock? It was amazing.

Removing alcohol was a massive mistake. Even worse is that nothing was brought up to replace the niche it took within ICly businesses.

Hell, bring back alcohol and rename it to "silly juice" that gives you the percentage from the drunk plugin (conveniently renamed to something) if that's how you avoid legal trouble with EULA.

As for "minors being exposed to alcohol" bit, I would disagree. SRP has dealt with much darker topics than that to be a problem.

not a bad idea alcohol was removed due to Eula.

Any representations of Drug & Alcohol very much violates Minecraft's EULA and it's part of the reason why it's been removed. Now as fun as it can be for some people, my experiences with alcohol as a Teacher has been mostly negative. One such time someone distributed alcohol in my class (around 37 bottles worth) Kinyuun was with me at the time and it was a miserable situation. And when a grade 7 where to get drunk from there you have to make a ticket about it as grade 7-9 cannot be under the influence of alcohol (as it's an oocly rule). In addition to dealing with drunk students it's gotten to the point where many of my peers know me for being the one faculty who has to deal with the most drunk students, and it has quickly became one of my biggest pet peeves on SRP when alcohol was still a thing.

Overall there's a lot of risk oocly that alcohol has that i don't think it's worth having back
