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. The more tickets you collect, the better chance of winning you have! Winners will be drawn on June 1st, 2025. We restrict the right to remove a player from the giveaway pool at our discretion, for example but not limited to if evidence is found of abusing the system to avoid AFK kicks, excessive AFK kicks, or if the player is banned at the time of drawing. No purchase is necessary to enter the giveaway, as LS-RP is free to play. Premium members do not receive preferential treatment during drawing. All players, including staff members have equal probability of winning per amount of tickets collected. Happy birthday, LS-RP, here’s to another 18!

We have decided that it is time to double-down on LS-RP related content, and have put together a system which gives back to the content creators in our community. It's no secret that LS-RP content online has brought us many players - We see you, we appreciate you, and we want to do our best to support your work! Below you will find a copy of the new LS-RP Content Creator Program. We hope to add more perks and bonuses to the system in the future, but for now, I think we have put together some really good perks to start off with. With the launch of the Content Creator Program, we’ll also be spotlighting the best LS-RP content in regular content highlight announcements. Sign ups are open now if you are interested in joining the program. Without further a due, here is what you can gain from the creator program: CONTENT CREATOR PROGRAM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ We surveyed our newest players to try and find out how they came to know LS-RP, and why they joined.

Hey all, We've undertook some work to restructure the forums. Since we re-opened SA-MP back in May 2024 we had some splitting of the forums with the idea that SA-MP and RageMP sections were separate and could operate on their own. We didn't really succeed with this and it was a hot mess, some of the community forums such as player reports being in a RageMP labelled section, but the report was SA-MP only caused confusion. We've now completely separated SA-MP and RageMP on the forums without confusion. Each category has a list of different forums relating to that game server (SA-MP/RageMP) and those that are shared between the two game servers are now under the Community category, such as player reports, faction reports and so on. While I've done as much as I can to tidy this up, there may still be some forums that are incorrectly placed, or permissions aren't correct — so if you see any that needs changing, moving or permissions fixed then report it below, I'll be checking this periodically and making the required changes:

Hey All, Hope everyone is well, we don't have a lot to report on this month. So we'll get right into it below: Illegal Faction Team Update Throughout this month, the Illegal Faction Council have been heavily monitoring factions for stockpiling, official and unofficial. There's been a recent update in which IFC and Lead Admins can now easily track weapons as they move through the server which has been of great help in combatting the issue. We'd like to thank the Official Factions involved in this initiative for their co-operation and understanding the importance of their role in combatting stockpiling and unrealistic gun sales. We've also increased the prices involved in the weapon price agreement to allow for further profits to be made by Official Factions and their members. We've also been working alongside the Development Team on further measures to combat stockpiling. We're now excited to announce the next part of this initiative, as a one-time measure, the Faction Team Council will be conducting a stale weapon wipe over the weekend after May 20th, 2025. What does this mean? With the recent addition of Unique Universal Identifiers (UUIDs) for weapons, our Lead Admins and FTC now possess the ability to track individual firearms, including their origin and history. Since the update, any weapon spawned on a player or within a vehicle has been assigned a unique UUID. However, weapons held by players or within vehicles that have not been logged in or spawned since the update currently lack these identifiers. To ensure your weaponry is properly identified and remains available to you, we kindly request that you log in if you are carrying weapons or packages, or spawn any vehicles containing weapons before May 20th 2025. This action will automatically assign the necessary UUIDs to your items. Our Illegal Faction Team have been working hard to provide the server with exciting avenues of roleplay, with the Faction & Solo Drug Scheme having been opened recently under the newly appointed Head of Drugs Scheme @Clack. Please keep an eye on the available schemes as we hope to reopen many of our popular schemes throughout the month of May. We've also taken on a new Official Faction Candidate, 59th and Harlow Bloods, and we'd like to wish them all the best in their journey towards official status. As always, if you'd like to get involved in Illegal Faction Team and discussions, please reach out to @badhbh and @unlawfulact Staff Update We are still looking to for Testers and Insiders, if you're interested please give our latest announcement a read and send in a application if it applies to you or something you're interested in. You can find more information below: Here are some of Aprils Key Metrics: There were a total of 3029 reports handled There were a total of 3173 help requests handled There were a total of 11 refund requests handled There were a total of 48 forum reports handled There were a total of 367 character applications handled The number of applications coming through is great to see and I want to give a warm welcome to the new players in our community, I hope our team is welcoming and provides the best possible experience for you!
