  1. Hello everybody, Faction Management is happy to announce the first three official factions to exist on GTA:World! After carefully and closely monitoring the activity, the creativity, the quality and the continous progression of the official faction candidates we have come to the conclusion that two factions certainly deserve a promotion to the Official Status and the third one from the list will be announced later on during the following month. Don't lose hope though, every faction can still apply to become official. The Manno Crew Southside Varrio Rancho 13 (?) At the same time, due to the official factions being added in-game we have decided to remove the Supplier Program. You may wonder why, and the answer is very simple: there's no need for it anymore. We have taken into consideration every aspect of it and we have also made sure that the new official factions won't take full control over the drugs&weapons market, keeping a stable balance among every faction on the server, be it official or unofficial. The new official factions will benefit of a proper warehouse system (drugs or weapons), that is going to provide for the community an element of the illegal roleplay. Please refer to this thread for more information regarding this feature. I hope everybody is happy with our choices and I wish you all a nice weekend!

  2. (WIP) R A T A flexible and unclear backronym and slang term describing a group of lower-class members of society, with no clear sense of home and in a constant state of roaming, similar to gypsies, hermits, nomads and other traveling groups - the group knows no racial boundaries and, despite displaying anti-social behaviour, is tolerant, and unity remains a core unwritten principle Constantly shunned and unwelcome by local populations, the RAT population often change homes with no permanent residence, and are the rejected minority of Los Santos Although the name originates from the rodent, the official meaning of RAT is undefined and thus far has only been described nothing more than a 'Really Ambiguous Title' Beginnings The RAT crew arrived in Los Santos somewhere during the first week of November, with nothing but the raggedy clothes on their back and a few hundred dollars. At this point, the housing situation was looking dire as proper homes cost over $150,000 and options were limited. Menial work was not enough, or even worth housing in a sparsely-populated Los Santos. The RAT crew settled temporarily in Mirror Park on an empty lot. The gang later on relocated to Vespucci, but development in services were slow leaving Vespucci to rot away in the snowfall - the group lost faith in city development resulting in further reckless living. The group relocated back to Mirror Park, but resided mostly on the outskirts in Hawick in the dingy, low-cost rooms of the Pink Cage Motel as vital services were located very close by. Present Day The group is primarily found in, but is not limited to, Mirror Park's lake and its green. They are often seen cruising in Los Santos and Blaine County on cheap motorcycles, trucks or the occasional cheap automobile, and sometimes even mobile homes such as the Journey. Identifying a RAT Despite not self-identifying as a gang, RAT do maintain the traits of one such as a close bond, shared set of morals and the occasional bouts of crime- the group refrains from traditional displays of identity such as colours and patches, and also unlike other gangs has no organic overall racial background. OOC information We're attempting something new in gangs where we try to involve more of the civilians of the community that don't think the current gang themes are for them - this one's a lot more open for people to understand, to avoid the current issue of people only RPing with those in their faction. Individualism and isolation are already IC issues for some people trying to roleplay and this will draw these types of players to find hopefully like-minded characters. We're aiming for plenty of interaction between the faction and community. Also it's worth noting we drew some inspiration from the 1979 film The Warriors albeit pretty loose, and we're hoping to be something different to the normal options in gang/illegal factions. - Shao Badman

  3. "Mafia is a process, not a thing. Mafia is a form of clan-cooperation to which its individual members pledge lifelong loyalty. Friendship, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty and obedience -- this was the glue that held us together." - Joseph Bonanno Within the sphere of organized crime, the midwest of the United States has always played some sort of role on the west coast. Both Chicago and Kansas City, the more dominant presence of Cosa Nostra in the midwest, have been involved with the illegal skimming of money from casinos in the Las Vegas area. Information from wiretaps and other eavesdropping in the mid to late 1970’s concluded that high level members of Kansas City and Chicago crime families, with assistance from Cleveland and Milwaukee mobsters, were involved with key people of various casinos, one such was the Tropicana Casino. With a foundation already built on the west coast of the United States, the systematic invasion of Los Santos was relatively easy for midwest crime families. While Los Santos’ criminal underworld was and still is more dominated by ethnic street gangs, the traditional organized crime has always had some sort of push and pull on the streets. Textile City located in Los Santos can closely be related to New York City’s garment district and like New York’s garment district, Textile City has had its fair share of organized crime interference. Various law enforcement agencies believe that individuals from the Kansas City based Civella Crime Family have been operating in and around Textile City, extorting local merchants and using fronts to launder the money made from their illicit dealings. Rumours of Kansas City’s interference with the Los Santos underworld have been around since the early 1990’s but were never substantiated with fact. It is however, more apparent now that law enforcement from both Kansas City and Los Santos both have publicly stated that they are aware of several individuals within the Civella Crime Family who have moved from the midwest to Los Santos. Statements have also been made that neither agency knows the exact reason as to why these individuals have transitioned from city to city. The names of the individuals in question have not been made public but there has been major speculation as to these individuals within the cosa nostra expert community. Gary Jenkins, former Intelligence Unit detective with the Kansas City Police Department and now documentarian has publicly stated that he believes that a one, Salvatore “The Cheat” Lena has made his way to Los Santos. Salvatore Lena is a known Captain within the Civella Crime Family and was long suspected to have been “shelved”, or retired. His current status with the organization is in question as a result of the move to Los Santos. Whether this is a move of a retiree pensioner or a move in relation to orders from current Civella Crime Family boss John “Johnny Joe” Sciortino, both Kansas City law enforcement and Los Santos law enforcement do not know. Former Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins has also stated that he believes with Lena’s movement to Los Santos we can expect his son-in-law Carmine “The Pinch” Basciano to follow in suit. Carmine Basciano or The Pinch is a known inductee, or made man, of the Civella Crime Family and is believed to be heavily involved with book making and gambling. Basciano has been suspected on several occasions to have rigged various horse races throughout Nevada and San Andreas. Having his hand in the realm of gambling, Basciano, works closely with his father-in-law, Lena, who had a shylocking operation for more than 30 years. One last individual has been seen and noted on the streets of Los Santos since the original incursion of midwest gangsters, Pasquale Iraci. Iraci was once Acting Captain of the Lena crew in Kansas City, having been personally hand picked by Salvatore Lena before turning himself in to his wife, who in turn brought him to the hospital for surgery. While Acting Captain of the Lena Crew, Iraci consolidated the crew’s extortion operations and strengthened them from collapse. It is believed that Pasquale Iraci has been heavily involved with the recent extortion of Textile City merchants and businesses, but nothing can be substantiated as of yet. As the midwest invasion of Los Santos continues, both agencies from both cities speculate that the transition for the criminal underworld will be rocky. In recent months individuals from the crew now dubbed after it’s suspected leader, Salvatore Lena, have been seen interacting with known made members of another crew which were active in and around the Los Santos neighborhood, Mirror Park. Their relationship with said crew as of yet is unknown and it is believed that the Mirror Park Crew has evaporated into an empty void with individuals fleeing to their home states or just amalgamating into the Los Santos underworld. No deaths have been tied to the crews disappearing act, only that bad blood between several other unnamed Los Santos based organizations remain. “Yeah, I had the son of a bitch killed. I’m glad I did. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done it myself” - Carlos Marcello Over 80 years of collective commitment to Organized Crime walked down the the stone steps of the Kansas City Courthouse. Salvatore Lena and his close confidant, who also doubled as his son-in-law, Carmine Basciano were free men after spending nearly 10 months on trial for various racketeering charges which were brought forward by Federal Bureau of Investigation shortly after both individuals moved to the West Coast, to San Andreas. Nearly a year ago both the Los Santos authorities and Federal Bureau of Investigation speculated that Salvatore Lena, once a feared Caporegime or Captain, of the Kansas City Crime Family, also known as the Civella Family, was ordered to expand and protect the interests of the Family. While the move to San Andreas was a suspicious one, informants claim that Lena was put on the shelf after requesting to retire and that Basciano was actually the one tasked with planting the Civella Family flag in Los Santos. Both situations are mere speculation and hearsay and neither Los Santos authorities nor the FBI can back the claims. Shortly after the migration to the City of Saints both Lena and Basciano were arrested on gambling, loan sharking and for the murder of Civella Family associate, Joseph “Joey Fingers” Mezzasalma. Mezzasalma was reported missing to the Kansas City Police Department by his fiancé in July of 1991 and he was not found until October of 2017. Retired FBI Agent Nicholas Callahan, who was assigned to investigate the Civella Crime Family around the time of the Mezzasalma hit, has stated numerous times to both his superiors and the press that Salvatore “The Cheat” Lena had Mezzasalma murdered for selling his daughter various illicit drugs over the span of three months. The bones of the forgotten associate were found three days before Halloween and would not have been noticed if it wasn’t for a runner who routinely ran the route where he was buried. The runner, who has to remain anonymous for fear of mob retaliation, has stated to the media; “It was just like any other morning, I was running with my dog along the side of the road, we were about to turn onto the trail when he ran over to me with a bone. Yeah, it sounds like something you’d see in a movie, but that’s what happened. My dog found a bone”. Quickly throwing up the cliche yellow police tape, which forbid the entry of any person other than law enforcement and medical personnel, the Kansas City Police Department were quick to beckon the assistance of the now retired Senior Special Agent Callahan. It took twenty-six years to find the remains and only mere weeks to connect them to a name and conclude that foul play was involved. After four months of reviewing decades old case files, investigating new leads and grilling the criminal underworld of Kansas City, Law Enforcement believed they had enough evidence to target and arrest the individual or individuals they believed were responsible. Evidence revealed in the near year long trial, which was presented by the District Attorney to the twelve person jury, dated back to Salvatore Lena’s teenage years and expanded through to the 1991 murder of Mezzasalma. The District Attorney walked the jury, judge and present media through the various arrests, rackets and suspected murders which Lena and Basciano had either committed, assisted with or ordered. Photographs of both defendants with the victim and testimony from several informants which Senior Special Agent Callahan had cultivated over the years was the only evidence the District Attorney had when it came to the murder of Mezzasalma. When questioned about the clear lack of concrete evidence, the flamboyant twenty-two year veteran stated to the media that they’ve convicted wiseguys on less and that he had faith in the twelve jurors. He also reminding the interviewer that this is part of a bigger and more elaborate case which spanned decades. Defense Attorney William Goldstein, known in to many of prosecutors as a mob lawyer, was hired by both Lena and Basciano shortly after their arrest. Goldstein stated to the media that this attempt to convict his clients by the District Attorney was nothing more than a media stunt and a Hail Mary to finish off a very poor career. The Jury agreed. After three weeks of deliberation after the closing arguments the Jury came back. When the forewoman was asked by Judge Ralph Martin, she stated that the Jury was unable to come to a unanimous decision. Deadlocked. Judge Martin ordered the Jury to try once again to come to a conclusion, but once again, after two weeks of deliberation the Jury returned and was once more deadlocked - ten guilty, two innocent. The forewoman stressed that unfortunately if they were to return for a third attempt, it would come out the same, deadlocked. Judge Ralph Martin concluded the trial with a bang of his gavel. Mistrial. It can only be assumed that both Salvatore “The Cheat” Lena and Carmine “The Pinch” Basciano will return to the warm temperatures and tanned women of Los Santos. Retired Senior Special Agent Nicholas Callahan has made it clear that the haste, lack of tack and investigatory tactics of the DA was the reason Lena and Basciano were not convicted, but he has not ignored or refuted the fact that the grasp of Organized Crime could of influenced the outcome of the trial as Lena remains a strategic and critical part of maintaining the KC Family’s interests in San Andreas.

  4. Personal Details: Birth Name: Vanessa Andreana Diaz Age: 28 Ethnicity: Mixed Date of Birth: 12th July 1989 Place of Birth: Palermo, Sicilia, Italy Sexual Orientation: Straight Relationship Status: It's complicated. Gender: Female Special traits: Tattoo of Origami on her right wrist: Tattoo of black feather turning into flying birds on her right side to cover up a scar: S Signature: Weight: 145 Lbs Height: 5' 7" Eye Color: Hazel Hair Color: Brunette Languages: Italian Spanish English Family: Alonso Marco Diaz - Father Martina Bianca Rossi/Diaz - Mother THE STORY. Background Information: Vanessa was born on a sunny afternoon on 12th of July 1989 in the city of Palermo on the island of Sicily to Martina and Alonso Diaz. Her father was a successful rally driver Her mother was a successful photographer of Motorsports. They met after a race Alonso had and went on a dinner date together. It seemed like they both had a lot in common together so they started seeing each other more often. After about 2 years of Dating Alonso proposed to Martina after a race. They got married on 14th of April 1988. After a few months of living together, Martina got pregnant with Alonso's baby. They couldn't wait for the day for Martina to give birth to his first baby. Their first was a baby girl they named her Vanessa. Vanessa grew as a tomboyish girl she was always helping her father and just hanging out in the garage, her dad's rally car was an infamous now Trophos Rally sponsored by Stronzo red beer brand. She was always around the garage which made her father happy and her mother was trying to teach Vanessa photography. So at age of 13, her dad bought her, her very first motorbike. But since she was more into cars at first she didn't like the idea of having two wheels instead of four. In her teens, her father nearly had to force her to go to her motocross training. At first, she was not having any of it then when she started to get older she developed a passion of racing bikes and she was good at it and even competed in some local races finishing in first place. That had an impact on her early relationships since not a lot of guys wanted to date a girl who's faster then them on the track. When Vanessa finally reached her adulthood she decided to go study abroad and the place she chooses was not a surprise to her Mother. She decided to enlist to a university in San Fierro. She moved there in 2009 and finished her courses making her eligible to work in the real estate business. In San Fierro, she got her drivers license and more importantly motorcycle license. Her first big girl's bike was an FCR1000. She loved her bike so much she painted the bland blue color that it came in into a Dark wine red with red metallic accents. After a somewhat unsuccessful career as a real estate agent in San Fierro she decided to switch her life 180 degree's she packed her belongings and saddled her FCR and headed east towards Los Santos when she finally reached Los Santos she didn't know anyone so she bought a paper and started to call motels for a room and found a half decent job in another real estate business. So after a couple of months in Los Santos Vanessa got acquainted with some people and started to understand the cities inner workings. Not long after she met some people who supported her and suggested her to join the LSPD when the chance arrives. Since then Vanessa has been working daily to keep well toned and in shape and be physically able to perform any tasks needed in the recruitment. Chapter I - The recruitment: Vanessa after a considerate amount of time finally did her Police Cadet application for Los Santos Police department. She went into meticulous detail in her application why she wanted to join the police force of Los Santos city. After few days she receives a post to her rented address of her being accepted into the next stage of the recruitment. She had to do some research on the web to find all she needed for the Police Officer Selection test. After submitting Police Officer Selection test Vanessa eagerly waited for an answer from Los Santos Police department recruitment officials. After two days it finally came into her mail. She was so excited to be part of Los Santos police department that she tried to schedule an Interview at earliest convenience possible. This is when Vanessa first time met Commander Dakota Eastwood of Los Santos Police Department. Her friends which consisted of several police officers within the Los Santos Police Department told her that Commander Eastwood is very serious and strict character that she should always be in her best performance around him. So the interview was about an hour long where Commander Eastwood interview Vanessa why exactly she wants to join Los Santos Police department what are her goals in the department itself. Vanessa again was ready for the question since she spent hours upon hours on her laptop looking for the possible most common questions for law enforcement officers in the making. After a successful interview Commander Dakota Eastwood told Vanessa that she also has to schedule a performance physical test to make sure she is ready to undertake the duties as a police officer of Los Santos Police Department and would be able to perform physically well. Commander Dakota Eastwood set her physical test to next day but the weather had a different idea about it. The next day Vanessa woke up and saw the rain lashing against her bedroom window. She got her fitness attire in the bag asked a friend Logan Yasuko to give her lift to Mission Row it was early evening and was ready to undertake the physical test even in the rain if needed to be. Upon Arrival at Mission Row, Vanessa noticed Commander Eastwood by the desk. She approached him saying that she's ready for her physical test the response she got from Dakota was not satisfactory. Commander Eastwood told Diaz that he will not be conducting her test in the rain since that's not according to the Health and Safety regulations of the department. This was the first time Vanessa met a Police Officer named, Valerie York. Valerie told Commander Eastwood that she should conduct Vanessa's test even in the rain and since Vanessa was ready for it after all. Commander Eastwood was strong-willed and didn't give up position on this idea declining it fully and dismissing Valerie York from the lobby. Commander Dakota Eastwood told Vanessa to fill out a ridealong application online so he can take her on a patrol with her and said: "If the rain stops we come back to Mission Row and I will do your Physical test." So Vanessa stayed in the lobby for some time on her phone filling in the ridealong application on the LSPD website. After finishing up her application Commander Eastwood left Mission Row precinct with officer York and was nowhere to be seen. Vanessa waited in the Lobby until Dakota arrived at Mission Row with a suspect in custody pushing him along towards the processing room. The suspect tried to resist in many ways trying to interrupt Dakota's arrest by refusing to walk or move. Dakota Used some force to push the suspect towards the processing room. After he was done with the arrest he approached Vanessa asking did she fill in the ridealong request. She replied to Dakota in an affirmative manner and they both got into a marked Vapid Stanier police squad car and left the station. Commander Eastwood was asking Vanessa questions about her where she's from and why moved to Los Santos. The patrol lasted almost all night and Rain was still lashing out they had couple shots fire calls and couple pursuits. After the ridealong, Commander Eastwood told Vanessa to come down next evening to Mission Row for her Physical test to be conducted and be ready for anything. He didn't have the strength to conduct the test after a long ridealong patrol due to him being tired of the situations and lack of sleep. Chapter II - The physical test and Academy: In the coming days, Vanessa was eager to finish her physical qualifications and move onto the academy with all her wits and knowledge she researched in the internet and handbooks provided by Los Santos Police Department. She was ready to get her physical qualifications tested and no other then Commander at the time Dakota Eastwood was the one who was testing Vanessa's physical capabilities to the fullest. She was tasked with the point to point sprints to determine the stamina potential of the new recruits. After the point to point sprints, she was tasked with doing as many pushups as she could in one minutes time. After the pushups, she was tasked to perform as many sit-ups as she could in minutes time. At the end of the physical test, Vanessa was so exhausted she could barely stand straight. A wide smirk appeared on Eastwood's face as he yelled out her surname: "Diaz!" he shouted towards her "Congratulations you passed one of the most physically demanding tests in the department recruitment stage." After she heard that she could take a breath and relax a bit from the pressure from physical activities and thoughts of failure eluding her mind. Not for long since Dakota came up to Vanessa and said now you will have your final academy done tomorrow at 1700 in Zancudo training facilities be there and don't be late. Vanessa departed towards her home in Mirror Park area on Nikola Place avenue. She took a cold shower in the evening and had few snacks while reading the manuals of Los Santos Police department to be ready for any questions that would arise during the exam tomorrow. So next morning arrived and Vanessa had zero to none sleep studying for her exam and getting ready for her academy. She was not sure if she was ready enough or not but that didn't matter at that time since there was no time to reread any of the long manuals. She went out to get some breakfast to Cool Beans cafe where she was greeted with Noele Dreshler who had been off duty and also was with her son eating some breakfast and enjoying and freshly brewed coffee. After having a little chit-chat with Noele and getting few hints and advice from Noele and having some coffee Vanessa head out of the Cool Beans Cafe towards the Zancudo training grounds. After reaching the Zancudo training grounds Vanessa was first one to arrive at the facility and was eager and slightly stressed about the whole ordeal of her Academy in next couple of hours. Vanessa was waiting as the new recruits were arriving around eight people where there when finally Commander Dakota Eastwood arrived and said: "Welcome to the Los Santos Police Department's last recruitment stage the academy. Most of you won't pass and will be terminated as recruits in this recruitment drive. That, however, doesn't mean you can't try again in next recruitment drives. Let's Start. Diaz! Long! Shultz! Williams! Johnson! Stanley! Rose! Riggs! Is everyone here?" Dakota would do an initial voice check to make sure all recruits are present. Vanessa was looking behind commander at the police cars parked on the side. Her eyes glimpsed the Ford Crown Victoria Police interceptor the first time in her life and that was love at first sight. You know how they say it doesn't matter what you drive as long as you like it. Dakota would shout out Vanessa's surname loudly as he noticed her not paying attention. He asked her questions about the cars in front of her since all she was doing is looking at them. She was ready to reply and she didn't hesitate to reply to Commander Eastwood with stats and technical characteristics of the car. Making Eastwood impressed of her vehicle knowledge. He said: "Alright Diaz you know your shit let's see how you can handle a handgun." He walked over to the table with various handguns and firearms of all calibers and sizes on it. He continued: "Diaz pickup that Glock 17 and go to the firing position with others! Move go go go!" Vanessa quickly grabbed the pistol and two clips and some bullets and reported to the shooting range. She was tasked like any other recruits to reach the norm of the hits on the target within given time. She was not used to the gun but she tried to remember all theoretical knowledge she had gained in the past couple of weeks of her training and recruitment and tried to put it to use. She didn't do too bad or too good it was average but enough to pass the test of marksmanship. After several hours of practice in the academy of different cop day to day scenarios like Felony stops and traffic stops Motor Vehicle Accidents and others the Sun started to set over the Chilliad Hills as Dakota approached all recruits with an enclosed envelope. He handed over each recruit an envelope with their names on it and said: "You got 6 hours from now on to fill in the Police Academy exam and if you are lucky enough to pass it you will be inducted to Los Santos Police department as Police Officers. The classroom is right and downstairs. You are not allowed to use any external materials except for what you have learned in past couple of days. Good luck." With these words, Dakota escorted recruits into a small monitored classroom filled with cameras and closed the door. Leaving the room completely. Some recruits like Shultz and others were leaving early just giving sufficient amount of answers that were required and not putting too much effort into it. For Vanessa, it was completely different whole her further life was depending on the answers she will put down on her Exam. So Vanessa didn't rush time since this was crucial for her to fill in all possible scenarios that could unfold and give detailed answers to most of the questions and don't leave a single question without an answer. She filled out the exam spending all six hours in the classroom staying one of the last ones alongside Tiana Williams. So when she finally submitted her exam the timer would have run out and time was up. They both left in Vanessa's car an old rusty Declasse Vigero that she bought before to get around the town. After few days Vanessa was waiting for the call eagerly to see if she passed the examination or not.

  9. I'd be against this for several reasons: - Reporting people for breaking rules would need a work-around. - Multiple people having the same skin would cause confusion and could even be abused. - Can't tell when somebody is low on HP so can't offer them a burger(just kidding) My last argument would be that throughout the years of playing SAMP and roleplaying there I have associated a nametag and a healthbar with roleplay, though I do not metagame them it still adds a little bit of ascetic feeling to he game because you don't need to constantly ask people in /do if you'd recognize them, because you know that you do.

  11. Media Team Update - Staff Interview & Faction Competition. I'm pleased to say this is the first of many Media Team Updates to come, in this edition we have our very first staff interview, this time around with Nervous the familiar founder of GTAW. Below you will also find more details on the Faction Video Competition which is open to all. I hope you enjoy our first update and I wish everyone a very happy holiday! - Notbond The newly formed Media Team will seek to provide players with insights into behind the scenes actions of admins and the founders alike. We aim to portray the thought process behind decisions as well as clear up misconceptions about them. We aim to interview each individual in the head of each role when they make a large impactful decision. Below we have the questions in bold, and Nervous' responses to those questions. Question: Well let's start with the big question, how goes the development teams progress with RAGE? Answer: The development for RAGE is going slow due to massive changes (mostly .NET Framework to .NET core) that requires a complete rework of the project. A lot of libraries are not working anymore too, and huge parts of the code must be changed/disabled. On top of this, we also encountered multiple bugs with the bridge and RAGE in general that we reported to the team If it wasn't already done. We're a bit disappointed with RAGE right now after our test on non-bridge servers with 50+ players, as game-breaking bugs for roleplay servers were found. However, we hope that these will be fixed soon! RageMP has great optimization with FPS. We also recently joined the GTMP tester team, where we are able to test updates before everyone else. I discussed with their team who confirmed that the next update will fix most of the current client crashes and also improve FPS a lot. Their net code was rewritten to optimize everything. So we must also keep hope on that side! Question: do you believe given their past, the GT-MP update will fix the big issues that members of GTA world have with their client? Answer: Yes I do believe that GTMP can definitely fix their problems. The sync is honestly good, If they can fix crashes and FPS It will be the best mod around. Let's see what's coming with next update! Question: Next question, with the recent events which we won't go into, How do you feel Joe has taken to his role as Head of Web Development? Answer: For now Joe is web developer, not head of web development. He did an amazing work with FaceBrowser, the upcoming ingame CEF phone so It was natural to give him the full role of web developer. He's indeed acting as head of web development until It's confirmed that he has the skills to handle such a role, which for now seems on a good way! Question: What are the upcoming development projects for GTA:W? Answer: If we completely exclude RageMP from this question, the next big projects are: -A full rework of the customization system, to allow players to buy one clothes and keep them forever for example in their house. -The addition of house robberies: steal clothes, furniture. A new trucking job to focus on player interactions and finally add the trailers in the game. The money update, which will contain a full money rework as already explained: money laundering through businesses, cash registers, IRS. Thank you for reading, and hopefully, this helps give you an understanding of what the development team are up too! Written by Mecovy. The Faction Video Competition is a fun challenge the Media Team wishes to bring to all factions, offical or unofficial, illegal or legal. These videos will be used to promote the server through offical channels and could be posted on our social media. The winner will be featured on the UCP, however, this is intended to be a fun competition and we want everyone to take part, even if you aren't a pro! - We already have many factions on board so what are you waiting for? The winner will be voted on by management and all submissions should be PM'd to @Notbond by the 18th of January, that gives you one month! Please post your videos on youtube and make sure you link the server in the description. Here is an example of the sort of thing you could produce, although don't feel limited: Social Media You should also check out our social media channels, this includes Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. We will be posting updates on facebook and twitter and the winning faction video on Youtube! Thanks to: Adorabelle (graphics), OhSoFly (Video Competition), Mecovy (Interview).

  13. Where are you going to get Stefan's ID from if it isn't above his head and neither is a name that you can use the /id command with? It'd have to be a /examineNearestCharacter type of command that doesn't need any parameters. And at that point you're just going to have people walking up to you and typing the command instead of reading your nametag.
