Glad to finally see the thread. Looking forward to many hours of prosperous roleplay with the lot of you. - James Corcoran

It's the same old story from every GTA roleplay server economy: stagnation through lack of growth. This happens for two main reasons: Lack of scale — a dollar isn't worth the same when buying a house as when buying a car Lack of basic market forces — mainly depreciation, but the shortage of players acting as lenders and borrowers doesn't help matters These are two inescapable facts. Luckily, there's a simple solution. Unluckily, it's one that's usually met with cries from the wealth hoarders. That solution is loans. Welcome to the lending economy where nobody buys a car or a house outright unless they have the capital to put down and the average man or woman is indebted to the bank up to their eyeballs. Embrace it. Make low-end housing and vehicles more accessible to poorer players but offer it at a premium. That premium is called interest which is a percentage amount above the regular repayment cost to insure the overall cost and combat depreciation over time. You want to sell your shit-box station wagon on after only sinking a couple of grand into it? Great, now some other low-life hoodlum can pick it up for a fraction of the cost as it would cost brand new. Congratulations, you've just provided RP for scores of new players, whether it be through easier access to cars and housing, the incentive to keep up with repayments, or the black market shylock gig and insured the economy for years to come. You're welcome.
