THE NEXT CHAPTER?

That's right. The squadron of Valenti soldiers are still getting money despite what they say. I want take this opportunity to let everyone know, in the words of the one who shall not be named: Valenti has been official since the Big Bang, and it's through divine providence that it has maintained that status despite numerous setbacks and other factions failing in similar circumstances.

Howdy gamers, Today marks an incredible milestone for our community - Los Santos Roleplay is now eighteen years old. That’s old enough to vote, drive, purchase alcohol in most of the world (shout-out US of A), or take out a an unfavorable loan to finance a vehicle that’ll drop in value by half the moment you drive it off the lot. Yay! Around this time last year, when LS-RP was turning 17, we re-released our San Andreas Multiplayer server. Although it’s been a whirlwind of a year since then, I must say re-launching SA-MP has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made - which is something to say, considering I was adamantly against it until last minute. I feel our unsuccessful effort to transition into GTA V throughout 2023-2024 humbled us a lot. We learned a great deal about our approach to the community and how to prioritize our efforts so they’re as impactful as they can be. I’ve said this before, but I can’t overstate how happy I am with the place LS-RP is in currently. Not without flaws for sure, however after years of looking at descending trendlines, barring the occasional boost (RAGE launch, SA-MP relaunch), we’re finally seeing organic, steady growth month over month, for the past half year or so. A statistic that keeps surprising me every time I remember it is that over half of the players who play our SA-MP server today have never played LS-RP before we relaunched the SA-MP. That really goes to show this platform is still thriving and gives us the drive to continue improving it for a long time to come. Credit where credit is due, none of this would be possible without the amazing staff we have, and the passionate, engaged community which keeps pushing the envelope year by year, and day by day. So shout-out to all of you, and an even louder shout-out to people who refuse to simply embrace the status quo but instead choose to actively look for ways how to improve the community and our servers. I do my best to surround myself with people like that, as comfort and complacency are my (and LS-RP’s) worst enemies. To bring you some RAGE updates - we’re currently working on the last few features to finish before relaunch. We’ll be integrating the new Insider scheme shortly as we enter a testing phase to make sure all the features our RAGE team has worked on tirelessly for the past year work well. I’m stoked to show you some of the features and mechanics we came up with. There’s so much more I want to say in regards to RAGE, however as I mentioned a good few times previously, I’ve learned from my mistakes and I won’t speak on them too soon. But we’re close. Very close. Birthday Giveaway To celebrate LS-RP turning 18, we’re also giving away a month of free Premium membership to 18 of our players. Each hour spent in-game between 17th of May 2025 00:00 GMT+1 and 31st of May 2025 23:59 GMT+1 including, translates into 1 ticket for the giveaway.
