AdmireMe is an IC company, why not handle this IC? If you have issues with companies like this spoiling the "youth", then take that action IC?

How can GTA:W be realistic when its social media Facebrowser is full of fake pics decorated in Menyoo, while in the game world they look like a regular Betty. RP Wise: Yes, unless you come across a muscle man wearing a vest and tattoos all over.

I rarely used to ever use /ex but this thread has inspired me to use it more for the giggles 🥰

Fantasy'ish descriptions like the above should be a rule and be punishable (not that harsh though) imo.

Yeah but majority of the people in the server are millionaires so the bill would be peanuts for them. 😛

Escorts keep advertising themselves with flashy slogans, which is similar to "looking for work" since they wont get paid unless someone hires them, but oh well that's fine...

Not sure how this is going to help when admins/management are trying their best in diminishing poor portrayal of robberies (and they are doing a good job at that). As it is there's very few 24/7s open now (which is a shame), and if you bring this rule up then the ones that open will also disappear. The following will be the pattern.. Bar - Let's go to have a drink. Clubs - Let's go dance and party. 24/7 - Let's go to rob.

Realistically its not possible for admins to monitor each and every player and what they do in the server. I guess its up to the character/person to buy properties according to their status, but then there's nothing wrong in buying properties in hostile areas even if they have nothing to do with crime, even if it is for flipping or renting out.

Going off-topic for a second here: Can we get a "LOL" react to this forum plzzz. Topic: "she would lighten up every room she walks into, PEOPLE WOULD STOP AND STARE" LOL. That's hella cringe but then funny at the same time too, not sure if that person is trolling which a few people do in the server portraying their "chArActEr dEvElOpmEnt".

foo

Pet poop cleaners. They create a mess in my mansion.

While its a good idea for the "city", people will be RP around it for a few days and then it's back to the usual where it won't be used at all. Just like a new game comes out there's a craze for it for a few days and then it dies out. Positive point: At least I won't have to pay a ridiculous amount to get to the other part of the city for literally little to no RP involved in case I am stranded. Hah, That's the only time when it will be used conveniently.

Hey, I just revived on of my old character which was last used around 2020. I saw the vehicle prices have changed a lot and there's a few vehicles which I want to sell. Is there any rule for referencing the old price as the base price or I can sell it according to what it costs now? It's a Mule3, not sure what it's called now. I searched around the forums but couldn't find anything.

Nobody asked anyone to sit here and RP all day, not sure why you are taking it that way...

This is another big issue, finding staff. Most wouldn't wanna do chef/cook RP since its just an RP involving yourself mostly behind the kitchen doors. IMO people working in these areas should get some kind of incentive (higher pay maybe) but then that's totally up to the owner I guess. While i agree with most of your points, there's a few I disagree with. Yes its true that its even harder to run a restaurant/niche business with shortage of staff along with r/l stuff and time-zones, however its not a showstopper. I have worked in fast food joints in one on my character and yes while it seemed hard to get more employees, its not that the business was not running at all. The number of people coming were few (which is good) so you don't really need an army of staff (this was 3 years ago though lol). Also we're talking about small scale diners/joints which can be run by the owners themselves and a couple of servers (even only one server can do), but then again its VERY hard to find them even lol. Don't get me wrong but if you open such a niche business, the owner has to show some interest in the business as well by working behind the scenes and not just rely on someone else to do the hard work for them and they just sit and collect the money. (Trust me I have come across several owners like these).

You literally cannot expect any kind of county RP when all businesses that open (except night clubs/bars) are just shown a middle finger from the citizens. The server has so many scripts for creating RP but most of them are just redundant now unfortunately. 24/7 - Dead (Nobody will open it in the county also except a few) Petrol Stations RP - Dead Coffee Shops - Some try but still dead for the most part (kudos to those who try) Farming - Lol. Trucking - Dead already for some Fast food - Dream on (kudos to those who try) Even if you live there, what will you do there? RP can only happen when businesses open around you. Of course there might be a few people who are genuinely trying (like the OP is), however it gets spoiled by a few people ruining the fun for everyone. Even though this is supposed to be a "realistic world", people still login to have fun and not to deal with drama. They see drama, they just won't go to that place anymore, simple as that.

Well on a second thought, its good that its that way, who knows what kind of weird things might happen if they just let any tom dick and harry decide what's going to happen with the server.. 😇

Well said.

LOL. Political/Government RP is there now only for the sake of having a role like the person said above. In reality they are just like a regular homeless person with a home and flashy cars due to their income of being online, or even worse, since due to "character portrayal" you are not supposed to do things which a real life mayor/government employee would do.

You can do anything you want, but the taxi service is not going to be as useful as it "should" be in your eyes. You have to really go out of the way and think of ways to make your own taxi service useful to the population. Just by removing certain commands and creating new scripts doesn't mean people will start calling taxis LOL. They can still call their friend or just Alt + F4 and spawn at their home, simple. The first character I made in this server was a full time taxi driver (this was 3 years ago). I RP'd as a taxi driver for like around 2-3 months and made more than a million dollars. At that time, there was no fare script even and everything was word of mouth. And there was max 150-200 people on the server at peak times, around 50 otherwise. It was much harder being a taxi driver and making money at that time. From what I have seen from most taxi drivers in the server currently, very few make an effort to do things to progress as a taxi driver and make their business more attractive for customers. They are just depending on the script more or less without any extra effort from their side. All that most do is pick up, drop, collect money, leave. On top of that they charge ridiculous amounts of money charging $500 - $700 for a 1-2 minute ride in the city. How many people will be actually comfortable in doing that on a regular basis?

This topic itself is cringe. I know there's a lot of "weird shit" but meh they are having fun and they are making it funny in some cases.

Well said.

OMG LMFAO

People get robbed all the time in the Loop in Chicago, which is supposed to be the safe, touristy part of the city. It happens. You do know that this server is worldwide and not for people from the "the Loop in Chicago". If something happens there, doesn't mean it happens everywhere. As for the rest of these comments, I really hope the point isn't "the crime rate in LS is higher than it is in real life" because if so, yawn. It's a roleplay server running on a murder simulator. The server's name is called "Grand Theft Auto World". If you're expecting proportional crime rates, maybe try Second Life? You are not getting the point here. People are complaining about the "way these robberies are done" and not much is done about it. You mean to say being robbed all over the city makes sense? And are you really trying to tell those people to leave who want to put forward their opinions? Again. If you've ever lived in a big city, or even do the smallest amount of research, it's not hard to figure out how to stay safe in LS. Do the same shit you do IRL. Travel in groups, have a DD, be aware of your surroundings, don't go places alone. I have lived in big as well as a small city. Really? If I want to go for an haircut, should I carry my friends with me even though they know they won't be doing shit there? Travel in groups applies only if you are going to a different city or if you are a tourist. You can't go to get grocery in your own city alone? 😛
