All Activity

take it far fellas.

looks fire, take it far.

I joined this server pretty late, last November. Played very actively, until March, took a long break, just returned like September or so. Before I took a break, everyone was saying the server's dying blablabla, but I came back months later and it's still active, I still found the same people RPing the same thing as when I took the break. What I found is that here, even with small playerbase, there's more RP than on a large server with hundreds of players. Can we just not say SAMP is dead?! I've seen SAMP servers currently with 700+ players. Whining is not going to solve anything. Before I tried GTA:V RP, I thought SAMP was cooked, too, but after going on a heavy text RP server there, I realized it's not the case. V offers a different kind of RP than SAMP. The two can coexist with each other. Statistically, it's more likely to find people who are willing to play on LS-RP than not. Food for thought: Gamers worldwide: ~3.2 billion Even if only 0.01% of gamers are interested in text-based RP, that’s 320,000 potential players. A healthy server only needs 400–500 players. My question to everyone: how do you expect more players if the only people knowing about LS-RP either accidentally found it or came back for the nostalgia? Advertising is the key to get more players. I believe that more people can run SAMP than GTA:V.

This server is a laughing stock now and on a one way cruise to closure. You have idiots in the staff team who just became staff when the server was dying who take they're job wayyyy too seriously. Putting themselves in situations and only looking at it one-sided, lack of roleplay quality and general understanding about illegal faction scenarios, mallrat mentality-- I can go on and on. I'm suprised this thread even made it this far because normally transparent threads like this that consists of other players keeping it real are quick to get shutdown, I remember back on the old forums around this time I wanna say in 2019 somebody made a thread like this and it was all type of people commenting dropping they're 2 cents, even ex & current staff members. I feel like shouldn't no bans be issued unless it's for hacks. When you're losing a player or three everyday on average and peaking at any number besides 100 are the bare minimum you shouldn't have the luxury to ban mfs and make them wait an appeal out-- especially on this old ass game. LSRP is not the same LSRP it once was. Can't even have a DM war and no reporting without weird ass admins interfering.. even when both sides agree to no reporting. DMers are the main reason this server is alive and even thought about. The faction scene specifically on the illegal side is a joke aswell. Gang roleplay been watered down on here by turkish and islamic pakistans stealing old threads and saying " Chea' " , " Bluh' " & " Cuh" nonstop on top of having run on sentences in they're screenshots and standing on the block lined up like statues. Characters coming out the woodworks with no development , Unrealistic RP, no build up of anything and most people on the server with an exception of a few don't even know how to create roleplay for themselves.. instead they just wait around and piggy back off someone who know's how to create RP. What really did it was when everyone account's got wiped if they didn't login back in July or August-- whcihever date that was. You have the owner of the server himself going on " leave " & having people sit in his section of the ban appeal waiting weeks , months maybe a full year before getting a response out of him. people who choose to wait that long are the potential players who /might/ keep the server alive. LSRP V also a fail. They should just pull the plug on everthing ATP. Cops and Staff makeup for pretty much half the server when it's peak time. I can't stress this enough this enough that the staff team is the reason this server is declining. When Damien , Surreal & Ben was still in the management on top of Westside holding down IFC the server still had some potential. Don't know what they got going on now.

Mario Arias, 15, 16, 17 Mario Arias, a 15 year old local in the slums of El Corona, 38ST. Mario is an aspiring music/creative artist, rather than the rap dreams most have around him, Mario Arias grew up with the likes of his older brother Alvaro Arias, who was heavily influenced in the 90's teen classics, such as skating, punk rock and graffiti. Mario and Alvaro both lack a father figure in their lives, being deported to Guatemala Mexico in 09, leaving Mario to seeing his bigger brother as his role model, Mario started copying his mannerisms,got into graffiti, started to play the guitar and desperately try to "get up" in the graffiti scene. With the loss of his brother in 2019 in a gang related shooting, Mario was left to fend for his own, helping his poor mother try to make ends meet, all the while he suffered through chronical stress due to having all the heavy weight being put on him to provide. Nowadays Mario still resides in El Corona and still continues trying to pursue his dream as an artist. Due to the lack of same interests around the hood, Mario can't relate to many, while others are bumping Lil Rob and rapping along, he was trying to show that Suicidal Tendencies is also a hispanic band. And the hope of all the graffiti around, he found noone is actually interested, rather they're marking territory instead of getting up. All this left him feeling lonely with noone to relate to, Mario usually hangs around and tries to influence others into a band he's creating or trying to relate to others who suffer the chronic gang mentality that he's free of. PRESENT DAY Mario Arias, 17 gave up on his dreams of becoming a pro skateboarder and his graffiti crew PTU (Paint The Ugly) failing horrendously, Mario fell victim like mostly everyone else in his neighborhood, he started to hang out with the killers and thieves he always stood away from, yet he didn't change anything about himself, he still kept trying to make people laugh and trying to fit in, ultimately not realizing no one really fits into a gang. He stood out of the gangway most of the time yet still kept being pressured into their way of living. With the release of Amethyst "Sleepy" Sagrario, Mario saw a new potential, instead of falling into one of the 2 cliques, he chose to join the gang in his own terms, that being the revival of the currently inactive clique Parkside Dukes (PDKS.) Mario knew he may not get people to join PTU, but he can surely get people in Dukes, the glorification of gang banging in his neighborhood completely clouded his judgement, not even realizing he's no longer looking for fellow artists to join his graffiti crew to get up with, rather groom people exactly like he was groomed to become another gang member, another statistic. Especially with the life he took from a rival gang member on the seventh of november, 2025, which made him feel like there really is no turning back and this is the life he must live now, his future. All the potential he once had now fell short as do many people in the hood.
