Lancer

Lancer is a Half-Life 2 Roleplay server hosted in Garry’s Mod and powered by the Clockwork roleplay framework.
We are a relatively small community of like-minded individuals who are looking to have fun and shape a fresh and interesting world to share with everyone else and allow them to enjoy.

We aim and hope not exactly to revolutionize the Half-Life 2 Roleplay scene, but instead learn from our predecessor's mistakes and take steps to avoid them while reinforcing what they did right. We are not making a carbon copy of something that has already been done, but we are not throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks either. We aim to study and understand why certain things work, and why other things do not. That, coupled with our experimental additions & changes along with our players’ feedback, we strive to create the ideal Half-Life 2 Roleplay server that you always wanted.
By taking concepts that work very well, abandoning or reworking some that do not, and adding our own additions and flavor into the mix, we hope to create the best recipe for a fun, enjoyable, and successful Half-Life 2 Roleplay community. We value all of our members’ input and carefully apply it to improve and ultimately perfect our roleplay and gameplay mechanics using their feedback. With a dedicated community of Event Creators, Staff Members, and Developers, we hope to accomplish our goal of creating a fun and enjoyable roleplay server for everyone to enjoy.

This is the second iteration of our community. Having greatly learned from the past, we aim to study our mistakes and learn from them in order to ensure we do not take the same steps but instead create something great and something worth remembering in the years to come.

Achievement Unlocked: Not The End

October 20, 2022 - Aspect™ | 0 Comments

Hey everyone!
I am very happy to announce the second iteration of Lancer!

I was motivated to have another go at Lancer due to the lack of quality serious roleplay servers currently available to the small (and actively diminishing) Half-Life 2 Roleplay Community. Funnily enough, this is the same motivator as the one I had when creating my first Half-Life 2 Roleplay Server, Dissociative Roleplay, and the first iteration of Lancer. With the decay of big players such as Nebulous and the gradual shift of others towards a more Semi-Serious / RPG scene, Serious RP players are left with the choice of either abandoning the community for good or adapting to the new and evolving Semi-Serious scene.

We will be abandoning the port to Helix, and will instead be sticking with Clockwork. While Clockwork is considerably more outdated, harder to work with, and less performant than other Frameworks, it is a classic. It gives Half-Life 2 Roleplay the vibe that it requires to immerse somebody into the world. Of course, I could simply reskin Helix to look like Clockwork, but the biggest motivator for sticking with Clockwork is that it is done. There are a couple of changes that we wish to make, but the server is mostly ready, development-wise. This single fact allows us to focus our resources on improving our roleplay systems and delivering a product in a more timely manner, using systems that we know work.

We hope you all join us as we turn a new page on the story of Lancer.
