You did what you had to do kiddo.

Welcome to the April 2022 Staff Update! Can't believe we are already four months into the year! Time is flying by faster then we think. We hope everyone is having a great year so far and for most of us here in the community, we are all looking towards the warmer weather coming soon! For the month of March we have seen a multitude of development changes from trucking and increasing the prices on the value of work, a mass amount of textures/clothing thanks to our modding team, to some quality of life updates for the legal and illegal community. A major amount of new features being actively developed will be released very soon : fully designed inventory, casino slots games, cable cars, vehicle chopping system revamp, new phone & much more to come! We have also seen the implementation of Panda Points by Nervous, which he has explained the use of the points here. For a brief explanation, Panda Points are given to players which eventually will be able to used so buy certain features like clothing slots, blips, furniture slots and many more quality of life features that come with "World Points". Panda Points award the player for playing, and gives them the option to "purchase" items from the UCP Shop, without having to spend actual money and rather them building up "currency" by playing longer in-game. As you all know, forum reports are something that have been needing an improvement for an extremely long time. In the month of April specifically, the community will see a change to our forum reports and how they are being handled by administrators. Management within the next upcoming week will be discussing a set standard for the forum reports, including how many replies allotted, how many words per reply, determining key factors in what will be allowed as forum reports (without restricting players from being able to report serious things), and how long an admin/players have to complete these forum reports. Players in the future will be able to post a topic and it will be automatically locked until an administrator takes said report, and which they will be able to set the standard by Management onto those involved in the forum report. We are hoping to minimize the amount of forum reports that are coming in from players and also get the process moving faster rather then having ten plus replies that have little to nothing to do with the report at hand. More to come in a follow-up topic when the process is fully released. On the staff side of things, we would like to congratulate everyone on the promotions and welcome the new Support to the Staff Team. As Management, we appreciate the vast amount of work you all put into the community, and we like to show our appreciation during every staff update so the community knows how much you all do. As a secondary note, we will be opening Staff Applications within the next week or so, as we want to continue building our Staff Team. Staff Apps will be open for slightly longer to allow more players to have the chance to apply and have the chance to enter the team. Remember to check out the GTAW Real Life Party Thread!

Adventures of Wacko & Termite from West Vinewood

[begins laughing extremely loudly]

Reason: Sucks.

March 24th, Brouge Ave You got a confession out of Rodrigo. You've been getting awfully close to him lately. He annoyed you at first, but now he's really growing on you. It's hard to think about what you'd do with your time without him. ----- You agreed to start seeing Noel. Though, you don't know anything about him. What's wrong with you? Are you really that desperate to hang around with someone? ----- You're not sure if it's because he's Diablo's brother. Or if it's just because he made you feel good the other night. You watched a movie with him. You told Rigo about it, and his reaction made you feel horrible. ----- He really likes you, but he's neglected to say so. You like him an awful lot, too, but it's too late now. You suppose you'll just have to settle for now. You don't want to hurt him ever again. ----- Despite that, you gaslit him into feeling like dogshit. It made you feel horrible. Why would you do that to someone who cares about you? You're a real cunt sometimes; you don't deserve him, anyway. The same day, a video begins circulating through the gang. March 24th, Jamestown You went off on a girl from Trannies. You hopped out the whip and you called as loud as your lungs would let you. "Ay bitch, fuck Trannies!" She didn't want to fight you. ----- You wanted to fight her, though. "Show me yo back again an see what happen, hoe!" She showed you her back. You introduced her face to the bottom of your shoe. ----- Then the unthinkable happened. Gritty came up on a bike while you were giving her, her last licks. She pulled a strap. Shot her dead. ----- What does that make you? Are you an accomplice, or are you not at fault? Would that girl still be alive if you hadn't floored her? What does a guilty conscience make you? ----- You need to wear a brave face in front of everybody else. If they catch even a hint of doubt, it's over. You figure you're something of a lamb. The best you can hope for is that everyone mistakes you for a lion.

If you have an issue with a concept, report it to IFM. We have and have always had official means to go about bringing attention to any issues with portrayal, concepts, ect. Don't go starting arguments and beef on a forum thread, there's means to bring attention to issues without being a salty, arrogant jackass in front of everyone. Thread beef is stupid, if you partake in it, you are doubly stupid. Keep it on topic. Any further instances of it here will result in forum punishments (warnings, mutes and bans) and potentially faction-specific punishments.

A smile is the best way to deal with difficult situations. Even if it’s a fake one. Used properly, you can fool anyone with them.

Wanted to make this top to discuss the housing rules surrounding the rules relating to the prices and time frames set. I feel the rules are counter productive if the goal is to put more houses on the market. Some people don't like when you compare GTA World to real world dynamics because they think you are taking the game to seriously but this server operates on a scale where you can compare it to real life and IRL history has shown Price controls don't work. In real life price controls create even worse shortages and if people have to chose between selling something at a loss and not selling it at all which do you think they are going to chose. The changes not too long ago allowing for unlimited price after 6 months is a marginal improvement but all its done is we've gone for people hoarding houses since they couldn't get the price they want to people having to wait 6 months to sell it for the price there want. House prices have become so removed from the market price you have no choice to wait 6 months to sell your house even if you would of be willing to sell it earlier because you don't want to take a massive loss. I have a house on a account I would sold months ago but the market price is so low I will take a massive loss if I don't want the 6 months and I would just want to break even. Here is the truth there will always be a shortage of houses and they will always be expensive but I think the current rules are making it worse in my opinion. We just have an insane amount of money in the game economy and their aren't that many houses in comparison to the demand from the player base oppose to the SAMP map where you had LV, SF,LS and Red County all filled with houses. My suggestion is remove as many restrictions as possible to make it as quick as possible for players to sell their houses for whatever price they want. You think this server is the first entity ever to think of the idea "things are getting too expensive lets set the price ourselves" It doesn't work. Let me know what you think. Edit: To clarify I am not advocating for the removal of ALL restrictions I just think a better balance could be achieved. Like for example reducing the time from say 6 months to 3 months where a person can sell a property for any price.

We're also thinking of adding a weekly offline tax on each houses that wouldn't be huge but could be a major burden if you decide to keep the house for 6 months without using it.

On the very next day.. .. and a few days after that..

Thanks to everybody who was part of this story. Keep going strong, I'll be around 💯
