November 2024 Staff Update

Hello and welcome to our November update! As I'm sure you've seen, there's been frequent development updates, but what about the community? We're full steam ahead for bringing more and more players to LS-RP, meaning on both our SA-MP server and our GTA V server. I've seen some ideas floating around this month that SA-MP was never a priority, and this is simply not true. We have people within the LS-RP staff team and indeed the wider community that are committed to only SA-MP, some that are committed to only GTA V, and some that are committed to both to varying degrees.
One thing I do want to say by the way is thank you to everybody that applied to be part of the staff team - we got a whopping 58 Tester applications and sadly we couldn't accept everyone - if you didn't get in, I encourage you to try again in a couple of months' time when it re-opens as there were a lot of people that might have been accepted if not for the sheer amount of people that applied!
SA-MP
We are constantly working to update the SA-MP gamemode with features that we think will make players' time on our server better and more fun, and less of a grind - while modernising the script. Such plans include a revamped weapon system - which you can see a sneak peek of in #snippets - as well as drug addiction, changes and additional effects of drugs, and ingredients with their associated effects. I can't go into a whole lot of detail as we're still working out the final feature set to present to the community, but know that there are some script features with drugs that are pretty well already finished - this isn't yet another "maybe in the future", but an affirmation that some features that would be part of a drug rework are already completed.
We're also testing and well on the way to developing SA-MP version 13.4.0, which will include old classics like Lenny Train, and vehicle furnishing! And I don't mean neon tubes or a taxi sign, I mean you can turn your car into a mobile pile of rubbish with /furniture. If you haven't seen it already, we've changed the taxi system so that you can roleplay what a taxi driver has become in 2024 - on-demand. You don't need to drive around in a taxi with a yellow name, waiting for someone to call 544 anymore. Just go on /taxi duty and you'll start getting calls, then pick people up from your own car, in your own time, for a much higher price than before ($25 maximum fare? No thank you!).
RageMP
As SA-MP is being constantly updated, so is RageMP. @Helius and @danut have taken the lead on RageMP development - both in a literal development sense, and in a community development sense. I'm not at liberty to share Helius's plans but I am confident in his ability and his passion to reignite our GTA V roleplaying scene after seeing what he's got in store. Danut has also been smashing it with development work for RageMP, and now that our new developers have settled in, more developers will be taking on roles with RageMP and the website themselves at their own leisure.
I urge you to understand, however, that this does not mean priority is taken from SA-MP, or that somehow RageMP is a side project - both projects are being focused on equally by different teams of people; our attention is not split!
Marketing
There has been some chatter about marketing recently in the community as well, and why haven't we sent emails out to our old players? Well, we have in a way, but not for marketing - some of you may even still have the e-mail telling you that our terms of service have updated due to the relaunch of SA-MP. As for further emails, simply put the European Union (where LS-RP is based) has a law that you may have heard of called GDPR. This essentially means we cannot use your email address for marketing purposes without your express consent, and is exactly why we can't reach out to old players with promotional e-mails - they haven't given marketing consent. We are working with what we do have available to us, however, so fear not!
Anyway, onto the Staff Update. Congratulations to our newly promoted staff members ...
