Roleplay UK

Heard normally it's because so few of them on (lack of back up etc), but in this case I am unaware

Because most of the time server 2 is populated by 'hobo gangs' and most decent gangs tend to stick to server 1 because its more populated and more of a challenge

Then had Police slots been disabled on Server 1?

Currently, Server 1 is down. Police don't patrol on server 2 as much as it generally kicks you off and produces weird bugs that server 1 doesn't have. 

Server 1 = Roleplay server

Server 2 = Farming server

I think @CI Dave sums it up with his video
