Introduction Established in early 2012, the Midnight Crew became the call card for an exclusive group of racers. These racers are far from the image of the traditional scene. They exist in the day as your average men and women. Mostly comprised of entry level retail workers, fast food employees, warehouse workers, and other day laborer positions; they give off no indication that they'd be anything different. However after the work day has ended and many are retiring to roll on to the next day, these individuals burn the midnight oil and pour what limited funds they can procure into their ideal machines. Referred to as the poverty spec, these individuals scoff at the ideal of the hefty price tags and cost to own associated with most vehicles on the streets of Los Santos. Instead opting to firmly believe that their vehicles, treated with hours and hours of TLC are just as good. This group of individuals solely exist as vehicle enthusiasts. They live for the thrill of the race, competition, and developing their vehicle to be the best it can be. ((Out of Character)) The Midnight Crew exists as a realistic portrayal of the real 'ricer' demographic in America. That being said, certain rules and restrictions will be applied in order to preserve this image. High end performance vehicles are prohibited. These vehicles do not fit with the portrayed street racing scene and will be shunned / ignored from inclusion. Vehicles include but are not limited to: The Elegy Retro, Pariah, Massacro, Itali GT, Comet, Coquette, Seven-70, Schafter V12, etc. Vehicles will be kept within the HD Universe, therefore won't be referred to as their real life counterparts or any other real life rendition. I.E. The Elegy Retro is not a rare Nissian Skyline, it is a common expensive sports class vehicle rampant on the streets of Los Santos. While the group aims to be an inclusive community "poor roleplay" won't be tolerated. Poor Roleplay includes cop baiting, unrealistic characters, and play to win attitude. This thread is subject to change at any given point. In its current state the thread serves as a loose overview of that the Faction intends to be, furthered by the inclusion of development and screenshots.

Totally in favor, we're stuck to the same number unless we actually donate to change it and being able to use two different phone numbers, having one for certain other activities and so on.. would be a good feature, but imo you should be able to buy SIM cards from a store and change number whenever you see fit, or you know.. burner phones. Another thing not entirely related to the suggestion but related to phone numbers in general is.. Remove LSPD being able to access people's private number by simply running their name, it's extremely unrealistic and having your phone traced for whatever reason all the time starts to become annoying, in reality police will not have access to your private phone number (if you pay for things in cash instead of credit card), even if I RP getting a new SIM card and so per say donate to change my phone number they'll still have access to it, it's extremely metagame'ish imo, but correct me if I'm wrong, if you buy a phone and a new SIM card in cash, I do not believe there's a way to link the person to said number. Unless said phone number is obtained through IC means, doesn't make much sense to me that information being available to PD members.

Sevencz is a fashion company founded by Hayden Zachary in March of 2016 in Los Santos. It's inspiration comes from underground movements, urban culture and promoted a "street" lifestyle but all in all is accepting of all walks of life no matter what their background is. Word of mouth says that most of the group behind of the sevencz movement weren't considered the best model citizens but came together and created something that first found light in colleges in San Andreas and eventually the internet. The groups motto "fashion not a cult" is derived from people believing insider members of the brands hierarchy were or are criminals, cult leaders, or worst.. but in fact its just the mob mentality that the group brought everywhere with them that spawned these thoughts. The very controversial fashion company is typically discovered through word of mouth, the internet ( https://face.gta.world/pages/thefleet ) or through the insider group of sevencz fashion various antics. sevencz today now aims to provide a service to their customers by bringing them a unique sense of identity while bringing the troubled youth together so they can prosper with common interests. As rowdy as things may seem, the sevencz movement promotes compassion and kindness in light of the shortcomings of 2017-2018 such as the deaths of Hayden Zachary himself (murdered), Lil Peep (drug overdose), xxxtentacion (murdered), Fredo Santana (Fatal seizure as a result of drug use related problems), Lil Lonnie (murdered), Jimmy Wopo (murdered), and Mac Miller (drug overdose). Some of these effected the brand and its followers more than others, but these events sent everything in an entirely new direction. The website to buy sevencz merchandise is easily found and navigated. Upon entering the URL, You are greeted with a sevencz mirrored logo, once it is clicked on you are given access to the buttons [SHOP] [CONTACT] [TERMS & INFO] [CART].

Old times ? Thanks @Thimble Same here!

Plumbing the Depths Published: 13th of February, 2019. Typically a blue plain where we cast our reflection, our introspection and our nets; the ocean is a vast mystery that drives ambitious explorers to venture beyond their natural means. Besides a homogeneous ecosystem there lies a treacherous yet awe-inspiring range of valleys, canyons and mountains. The eerie sight strikes out as a "what if" of our world in the millions of years to come when the unstoppable force of the world's water erodes the remaining land. The inhospitable depths also continue to pique the interest of marine biologists. Since the first ever submersible teased the sea floor in 1930, thousands of undiscovered species are believed to live well past the crush depth that our current mechanical creations can handle. Split wooden beams resting on supports dug into the dirt. San Andreas shares its bevy of secrets that seem to have gone undocumented in the mass of media available. Diving just off of the coast of Del Perro Beach leads us into another world. Our first sight was the remains of a structure just a few clicks North of the pier. Surrounding the pier itself is yet more of the same, could it have been that our longstanding pier was once wider and longer? Long forgotten. Stretching out from the pier's foundations at 120ft below the surface of the Pacific Ocean is pipe. This pipe's purpose is unknown but it is believed to be an outlet of some kind, possibly a defunct sewer pipe linked to the canals through a network beneath the city. Dating the pipe's construction is difficult as wood has been used for underwater construction for centuries. Both the pier and the pipe are supported by deep foundations of wood and concrete. The pipe's supporting bracket is likely waterlogged wood, which helps preserve the wood as the fungi and micro-bacteria that typically decompose wood are starved of their essential oxygen. Giant kelp stands proud inside of a beautiful underwater ravine West of the shore. Swimming further out led to a surprisingly sharp drop into an unexpected valley of kelp and weeds. Here the visibility dropped, leaving us with the rays above and the sea bed lurking somewhere in the pitch black below us. The unfathomable scope begged further exploration, but our oxygen tanks begged us to to the surface. Could there be an equal to Mount Chilliad lurking in the ocean around us? Please do not attempt to recreate anything featured in this article. Scuba diving is a dangerous activity. The divers featured in this article are experienced and have attempted the dive with several safety protocols in place to reduce the risk of injury or death to those involved.

Est. 2004 Hailing from Mumbai, India (Although others are accepted if they claim Indian heritage) - many of the members of this club follow numerous religions and have many beliefs, all of which are welcomed within the Sons of Bombay. Originally, the Sons of Bombay's founding members were part of a subordinate club within the much larger and far more organised Sikh Motorcycle Club, however upon hearing of the member's dubious deeds within the Sikh Motorcycle Club - they were expelled from their ranks and forced to continue on their own without the financial support of their former compatriots. The majority have abandoned their faith in Sikhism following those events. During the schism many chose to go down a life of crime, without any particular sense of comradeship anymore, no direction. That is what the Sons of Bombay gave. They gave a meaning to it all, a sense of direction and comradeship which they sorely lacked after being exiled from the Sikh Motorcycle Club. Throughout the years, the Sons of Bombay have evolved and moved past their faith in Sikhism and harmony. Their expulsion had led many of their members to migrate southwards, from Canada - into the state of San Andreas where they now reside living amongst numerous other motorcycle clubs - many of which have decided to take it upon themselves to mock and maim the SoB's, though they find themselves undermining the capabilities of what they can do. The Sons of Bombay claim 1% and stands up against the mockery against their faith and culture that revolves around Los Santos. Despite them lacking any morals and living a ruthless lifestyle - many still choose to practice their culture and it still remains a core part of the Sons of Bombay which often leads to discrimination by the other gangs within Los Santos. Many choose to stay away from what goes on behind the curtains. These men hold great passion for riding motorcycles alongside their brothers. They are employed, hard working men, striving to lay a foundation for their club, shelter future generations and support their families. Now fully settled in Little India, as they refer to, located in the Strawberry area, they hope to continue their rise to power in the aim to become one of the biggest and most able groups in the tri-state area. OOC NOTE AND RECRUITMENT Whilst, yes, we are a predominantly Indian organisation - to preserve realism we'll mostly be portraying an accumulation of numerous different ethnic groups and religions found in India. Meaning if you wish to join, you may approach us on any character so long as they can claim to have Indian roots. We feel that by taking this creative liberty, it could possibly open up more opportunities for inner faction roleplay, wherein trifles could occur between members, perhaps between their religion or certain ethnic group. Not only would this allow for more layers within our faction, it would also allow us a much better roleplay experience as a whole given that we're not subjecting ourselves to a single religion. You could argue that having Indians committing crimes on this scale is unrealistic, but given the context of our faction, I believe that whilst realism is paramount, this action has been taken to help make our group more appealing to others. This ensures our faction remains realistic and it's still fun to be around us and roleplay with us. Feel free to private message @Gall if you would like to enquire on any faction-related matters. We reserve the right to hold your Character Kill permissions upon officially joining this faction.

Short Description: Like in real life where you can have more than just one phone number or two phones linked to the same number, I'd love seeing this implemented here on the server. For example having two phones linked to a single number, allowing two people to answer opening a window for service number phones and such more reasonable. Or have a phone with two SIM cards, or two phones with one SIM each. Detailed Description: Basically like in real life you can own more than one phone device and more than one phone number I believe we should be able to own like in real life with an ability to set which one is the main one, the following quotes are by people who commented on the thread adding ideas. Addition by @Firesky: Addition by @Tr1bal: Commands To Add: /setmainphone [phone id] - allows to set the main phone device to which calls will be coming. /insertsim [phone id] [sim id] [sim slot (optional)] - will allow to insert a sim into the selected device. /takeoutsim [phone id] [sim slot (optional)] - allows to remove a sim from device. Items to Add: Phones in Inventory that do not take weight space since they are too small, unless the management deems it as required. Sim cards for phones. How would your suggestion improve the server? It would create a more realistic situation where a person is not tied to owning a single phone and bring more immersion to being able to handle business on one phone, private life on another without mixing the two. Same applies to illegal activities where Illegal factions can use a phone once and ditch the sim card. Not to mention you can implement an IMEI ID for the Phone item which will be able to be tracked by police during a call, and not like the current situation where they get your phone number semi-Metagaming manner by using the MDC by typing in your name they get your phone number, even if you change it. Realistically speaking the police shouldn't be able to track the phone numbers unless obtained in an IC manner via investigation, currently they can obtain it via MDC which is borderline Metagaming.

Love you, but this is ludicrous. The activity of the members in gov is atrocious as it is, but to shackle everyone else with charges because of their inactivity is fairly cruel. For reference, here's the availability schedule of the licensing staff. This screenshot was taken three days ago, and has remained the same since well before that. I'll upgrade my "no from me, dawg" to a "hell no." That's not how the law in the United States works - if someone did this in real life, it would be a national story. Sorry, but this does no service to realism and only serves to give a bored cop more arrests because he somehow "lost" a scenario in which someone pays a fine while in the process of being pulled over. There are enough gang bangers out there for you to chase without having to harass people over things that are non-issues in real life.

We already have the Lynx, Comet RS and a few other high performance cars. I don't see why not add these in aswell. If people use them like morons, simply ajail them. Shouldn't have to restrict cars to auctions because of a few bad apples.

Back in the game, Here we are a year further. So much has happened on GTAW since my departing. So many new features to go through. and a steady 130+/- players on peaks. I honestly am baffled and glad that I did make the decision to come back. LSPD welcomed me with open arms and made me feel back home instantly. I'd like to thank them for that! On a side note, I didn't just join the PD, there is so much more that can be done in GTAW and I'm going to explore the options. I'm going to start my own business on my alternative character and hopefully... I get assisted with it through other corporations. As soon as I get the funding I will surely announce the new business! On the youtube note, I will record again but I need to get the hang of the controls and commands in-game again before I do so!

Good to see this still going. Niche, but entertaining.

UCP v3 - Revision 19 Fixed XMR page issues. @Everett You can now see your help tickets in a tabular view (http://ucp.gta.world/help/tickets) @Mike Fixed missing text from character view. @Mike

Thank you @Lance and welcome back!

Had to leave 8 months ago. Came back Stanislav is still alive, that's impressive. Char is not that unique, but is RPed very very well so keep up, looking forward to more screens.

Indian one percenters... Now I saw everything. ?

Exactly, from the first letter to the last dot. Don't bloods have beef with bloods? Don't crips do the same? And yeah, making a gang just to combat the other is metagamish, and is directly bothering the other, already established gang, which is a gang on itself.

always a pleasure hani

I just came back after a week of vacation, and it's time to update you on what we're planning for this month on development side, and for GTAW 1.5! As I already mentioned, 2019 will have a major focus on developing the illegal roleplay possibilities and freedom of roleplay, by removing more and more technical limitations and offering you more support from the script to help you get more and more creative when it comes to roleplay! This also means more responsabilities as each of our new features will improve the realism of your roleplay and force you to never forget any details when roleplaying, as you'll understand by reading about our new features below. Unique items The big unannounced feature is the major revamp of our gamemode allowing the use of unique items! I've been speaking about this for months (and even more than a year?) but I never had the time to develop it. While I was gone, @-Andreas did some giant steps on the system and almost fully developped it! To help you understand, I'll explain you how our item system work today and how it's working on other servers. A character is defined with multiple properties, such as a name, his money, his inventory... The inventory will be defined in JSON such as: {"Pistol": 5, "Gas can": 1} This character will have 5 pistols and 1 gas can. While this system is working well, all "Pistol" are just the same and If you trade a pistol A with a pistol B with another character, they're still exactly the same on a technical level even If they come from a different character / supplier. This system is very limited as it doesn't allow us to properly add properties to each items such as a color, a name, a serial... and thus make them unique. In order to develop our new system, we have decided to base it on a structure similar to how MMORPG works but in a more advanced way as we allow each items to be modified, with this new structure: How will this work? Each items will have a "base template", aka a skeleton they take their main structure from. Then these items will be unique and have their own properties, which will be first defined from their based template. Let's take an example with Pistols: Base template: Pistol, it's a weapon that weights 500g, can do X damage and has various default properties such as being tradeable, being stackable, having a serial ID, a striation mark. Upon creation of a new pistol in the game, all the properties will be instanciated based from the template skeleton, and then more properties will be added during the lifetime of the item: maybe another color, weapon mods, durability, removed serial, etc... This system brings us a world of possibilities in what we can now do with all items, so while its implementation will come with some new features that will be detailed below, we will still have millions more things to do it with it later! So, what's going to be added with this new system soon? A revamped drug system: We'll be completely revamping and redeveloping the drug system to allow you to cut your drugs, name your own drugs, have drugs with different strengths / quality etc... More information about it will come soon! A new weapon oriented roleplay: All weapons will have a serial that can be removed, unique striation marks left on bullets, quality / durability that will depend of how well you're taking care of your weapon (cleaning it etc). Forensic: With serial numbers and striation marks, the detectives will now be able to link weapons with owners or previous murders. You better think twice before reusing the same weapon you already used for a previous murder now! Unless you carefully take care of the body... Body script @Crayons has been working on another unique script, which is the body script. Upon death, a character's body will remain on the ground even If the player accepted death, which will force criminals to get rid of the body If they want to prevent the LSPD to perform forensic on it! As you can see on the screenshot below, the body will be a perfect copy of the character: The very difficult part is the full synchronization between all players of the dragged body, but it's progressing quick so I wanted to share with you this upcoming script ? New job: Trucking As previously mentioned many times, we're finally seeing the end of our trucking script developped by @Westen. This new script will allow us to close the economy circle by supplying each businesses with their needed materials and providing a never ending cycle of market needs that will be funded with players money and city projects. You will be able to either join a trucking company (player owned or not) that will have trucks you may use based on your trucking licence / skill and thus supply companies after delivering orders: New legal factions wage system After a full analysis of the server economy and characters incomes, and a discussion with all major legal factions leaders, we will be modifying the paycheck system for these factions, such as LSPD, LSFD, Weazel news... The hourly paycheck system will be changed to a weekly paycheck for all their members, that will be limited to X amount of paychecks. A police officer II that has been playing 100 hours during the week will be paid the same as a police officer II that has been playing 20 hours during that same week. The goal is to reduce the unrealistic amount of money that some players could make due to their high activity, which resulted in low ranks jobs earning 10x more money than the chief of police for example. This change will also massively help these factions in predicting their monthly budget, as it is mandatory for them now since they are all funded by the government. UCP updates As you may have noticed, the UCP is constantly being upgraded and improved days after days thanks to our web development team! I rarely quote them in these development blog, but they also deserve a massive thank you for all their work, so thank you @Everett, @Franelliand @Mike! Here is a quick example of an amazing new system that was just recently added to manage leases (names of characters are hidden on the screenshot): Many pages have also been fully redesigned this month: A support ticket system: And way more! New serverside mods: Objects, hairs, clothes... RageMP has finally almost finished their new download system, which should be released in a few hours / days now! You'll directly download client files before joining the server, allowing us to put larger files for you to download and also fixing the blackscreen reload bug for server side mods! I did not want to add more mods before RageMP added a real mod download on their launcher since the users were not informed about the size of the mods and the progress of the download. This issue being fixed very soon, It'll be time to change that decision! ETA When is all this releasing? I'm planning on most likely releasing some features independantly, depending of how quickly we will finish some scripts. Trucking, the new wage system, and server side mods will most likely be released soon whereas the unique items and the body script still need to be worked on for a few weeks. We just released 1.4 so It gives us some time to make sure everything is well done and tested before 1.5 though ?

yo this is actually sikh

Tragedy strikes the Taj Mahal curry-house, as a strew of bad luck and terror sweeps through the neighbourhood of Little India.

We've introduced both live chat and offline message capabilities to the site based on situations like that. It's not as good as a round-the-clock live chat but it works, we hope. ?

If you have a great idea on how to incorporate money into your role play (that involves other players) then forward it to the admins. I don't think they'll straight out discard your idea. We need to stop talking and start doing, I don't have any interest in legal role play so I won't be doing it, but if I ever have an idea that might help strengthen my role play atmosphere (and potentially bring in some money) you better believe I'm asking the management for help. Start a conversation and be reasonable.
