🔒 JobLock (Fraksperre)

Stop job-hopping. Start controlling your RP economy. JobLock (Fraksperre) is a lightweight but powerful script that prevents players from switching jobs or factions while under a lock, ensuring faction balance and server fairness.

⚙️ What is JobLock?​

On many RP servers, faction dynamics can spiral out of control when players switch jobs or factions without any restrictions. JobLock (Fraksperre) solves this by enforcing cooldowns and stopping chaotic faction-hopping caused by:

  • "Revenge switching" – Players leaving their faction immediately after a perceived punishment (e.g., a bloodout) just to join a rival group and retaliate.
  • Faction disbanding – When a faction dissolves, players often rush en masse into another faction, creating a sudden imbalance in power and numbers.
  • Exploiting job advantages – Rapidly switching between jobs to take advantage of different perks or systems, which undermines roleplay integrity.

Without a restriction system in place, this leads to:

  • Unfair power shifts
  • Broken RP continuity
  • Overloaded or empty factions overnight

JobLock keeps the server stable by adding structure to job and faction transitions, ensuring fair play and better long-term faction health.
