Hi everyone, With the public launch of RAGE we're off to a great start. It's great to see so many returning and also members getting to experience our server. We've seen over 600 new characters created in the previous month, and we're excited to see even more as time goes on. Our most recent update removed problematic mapping which was resulting in crashes, and have implemented further bug fixes to improve player experience. If you haven't already, check out our Feature Documentation to see what the server has to offer and how to use these features. Without further ado, here's this months community update: Commerce & Estate Team We are very happy to see so much interest in properties and companies. We want to assure that all requests, questions, concerns or suggestions related to properties and companies won't be left unseen. In case of the doubt regarding anything, then easiest way is to Private Message any of us on the forums to let your thoughts known about. To remind about point of contact within the Commerce and Estate Teams: Commerce Team: Manages business-related tasks, including leases, company perks (vehicles, mapping), and entrepreneurial applications. Head of Commerce Team — @danut Assistant Head of Commerce Team — @Slice Estate Team: Oversees player-owned residential properties, complexes, and market pricing adjustments to match the server economy. Head of Estate Team — @Caledonite Assistant Head of Estate Team — @DadoJ Before full release of the relaunch happened, almost all of Property Requests were updated. If you also believe there is anything missing from Property Requests section or something is extremely unclear, then you can let the Leadership of Estate Team know about it and it'll be looked into. Property Interiors List in the section is still waiting to be updated to include some of the recent GTA Online DLCs and other usable interiors, so keep your eye out for additional interiors availability within next week. Additionally almost all server owned businesses have been also updated and set up to accommodate your everyday needs whilst playing on the server in terms of specific buyable items and specific actions — you can now find fuel canisters in gas stations and you can also access most banks across San Andreas properly now! We've also noticed that there has been repeated question about how does a player get a business lease. Answer is very simple: through a company and lease application in Company Requests section. You can find the lease application here! Make sure you've got specific idea in mind and file for an application to bring your vision to life. Illegal Faction Team The Illegal Faction Team have been working tirelessly to ensure factions are supported in this transition to RAGE. We've selected a number of official and verified factions who'll be in control of the flow of weapons and drugs onto the server as well as providing many of them with businesses and other opportunities for roleplay. As we see how things progress, we'll be reopening our schemes and allowing unofficial factions who've opened during and before launch the opportunity to gain Verified status early. We're looking forward to the many factions that've supported us, we're excited to see their activity and quality of their roleplay over the coming days and weeks. A massive shout out to E/S Playboys 13 (formerly 38th Street), Valenti Crime Family and Hell Runners Motorcycle Club. We've also selected several factions as Verified. S/O to Delegation of Tribe Rukn, Los Renegados Motorcyle Club and The Mexican Mafia (If you'd like to find out more about faction advancement, please follow this link). We're so excited to see the roleplay that comes out of these factions, and all of the unofficial factions who've joined us pre-launch.

Hello again gang, You may have seen my announcement on discord yesterday, if not - here it is again. Again, I'd like to thank everyone from the general community who've stuck around and supported us over the years and to the staff and development team who've been working tirelessly to get this show on the road. We're all extremely excited for the general community to have server access, and see the new and the improved features available. I'd like to note that we've crammed as much of the work our development team have been doing in before our public launch, but we've also got features currently in the pipe-lines to be tested and added to the server. We'll have a lot of exciting announcements and updates coming throughout the next few weeks and months. I'd like to remind everyone that while launch day can be exciting, that the server rules will still apply. The staff team have received alot of feedback about quality of roleplay throughout the server, the prevalence of death-matching and unrealistic behaviours etc. We will be taking a firm stance on rule-breaking and the standard of roleplay across the server, so please try to work with us and be on your best behaviour once you gain access. We want to make this experience fun for everyone, but that requires some cooperation from the community too. Many of you have been wondering what's new, and what's changed - we've been busy compiling and publishing the feature documentation, which you'll find here: Feature Documentation. This collection will be growing throughout the day to allow you to get familiar with the many of the features available before getting in-game this evening! I also wanted to thank everyone for the incredible amount of interest in illegal factions. Our list of unofficial factions seems to be growing by the day, with some extremely tenured roleplayers making a reappearance. As some of you may be aware, Official Factions were given the opportunity to directly transfer their Official status to RAGE. I'd like to also announce the official factions which have joined us. A massive shout out to E/S Playboys 13 (formerly 38th Street), Valenti Crime Family and Hell Runners Motorcycle Club. We've also selected several factions as Verified, which may be a new concept to those who've only experienced SAMP, if you'd like to find out more about faction advancement, please follow this link - S/O to Delegation of Tribe Rukn, Los Renegados Motorcyle Club and The Mexican Mafia. We're so excited to see the roleplay that comes out of these factions, and all of the unofficial factions who've joined us pre-launch. Finally, we will be limiting access to staff/developers only from 2PM GMT/3PM server-time to allow for the final updates, restarts and general cramming that needs to be done before opening the doors at 6PM GMT/7PM server-time.

Hello everyone, This is the first in a series of intermittent operational updates where we will share information, address community feedback, and keep everyone informed about the direction of the server. In this update we will briefly cover the following topics: Server Stability & Continuity Content Creators Events Team Milestone Giveaways UCP Based Feature Voting UCP Feedback Survey Server Stability & Continuity Our development team has been working continuously to improve overall server stability. Over the past two weeks several crash related issues were identified and resolved, with fixes being deployed on a near daily basis. As a result, we are now confident that the current experience is significantly more stable than it was during the initial launch period. In addition to the crashes, some players experienced issues loading server resources which prevented them from connecting. This resulted in a large number of support tickets. We are happy to report that these issues have now been resolved and all open tickets regarding connection problems have resulted in successful in-game connections. If anyone encounters issues going forward, please open a ticket on Discord. We understand that these early issues were frustrating for many players. Launching and stabilizing a server of this scale inevitably involves challenges in a live environment. With the stability improvements now in place, we hope and encourage those who encountered issues earlier will give LS-RP another opportunity. Content Creators With the server now operating more reliably we'd like to remind people of our Content Creator program. Creators on YouTube, TikTok and Meta platforms (Instagram and Facebook) can apply to join the content creator program and receive various benefits to help you create better content and stand out in the community. We are also looking to further expand our content creator program to better support those who stream on LS-RP. Further information will be released to our content creators when ready; if you stream, or create any form of social media relating to the LS-RP platform, we encourage you to apply. A quick shoutout here to two of our content creators, @points and @Moon, who have been pushing out content on a regular basis. We recommend you check them out, and our other content creators, in the #content-creators channel on Discord. Events Team Our events team has his the ground running as we settle back into the RageMP platform, running events such as the Los Santos Paintball Tournament, San Andreas State Triathlon and St. Patrick's Day Parade. Looking at the internal event team discussions, I can assure you there's no signs of slowing so keep an eye on the #server-events channel on Discord. If anyone is interested in participating in planning and running events, you can find more details here or reach out to @husoparac11. Milestone Giveaways To encourage activity and celebrate player milestones we will be introducing milestone based giveaways tied to server population. Once we reach various concurrent player targets, we'll look to run periodic giveaways which will take place for players currently online. These giveaways will primarily consist of credits, allowing players to redeem them for small perks that best suit their needs. Examples of rewards include things such as name changes, additional character slots, additional furniture slots, and other quality of life perks available through the premium system. The goal of these giveaways is to reward players who are actively contributing to the growth and activity of the server while also creating small moments of excitement throughout the day. UCP Based Feature Voting One of the most common questions we receive is which major feature will be developed next. To allow the community to directly influence development priorities we will be reintroducing UCP based voting. Players will be able to vote on a list of potential major features through the User Control Panel which are live now. Features will then be implemented in order of popularity based on the results of this vote, ensuring that development time is focused on the improvements the community wants most. We will initially be starting with three features up for voting, this will be for a period of one week, at which time the most popular choice will be put forward for development. We've heard the previous feedback that features were put up for voting, but never developed; our approach going forward will only be to post a limited number and then focusing on the most popular as a priority. UCP Feedback Survey We have also introduced a UCP Feedback Survey to give all players the opportunity to share structured feedback about both the server scripts and the community experience. The survey can be accessed by logging into the UCP and completing the feedback form. While discussion threads are still valuable, structured feedback allows us to identify trends more clearly and understand which issues affect the largest number of players. Individual responses also help provide more detailed insights than what is typically possible in public discussions. We appreciate everyone who has supported LS-RP during the launch and throughout the stabilization process. These operational updates will continue periodically as needed when development progresses and new features are introduced. Thank you for being part of the community. I'd like to personally thank everyone who has been submitting bug reports and suggestions, both for development and operational areas of the community. These are the primary way for you to give us your thoughts and feedback, with admins and developers reviewing them on a daily basis. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or queries regarding operations, I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Hi everyone, First and foremost, Happy New Year! We hope you all had a great time celebrating and spending time with loved ones over the month of December. Recently within the community there have been several threads offering thoughts, feedback, and opinions. We'd like you to know that Management are listening and changes are coming, thank you for being patient with us! As we enter the new year, we intend on regularly promoting the RAGE server in the run up to a relaunch date being announced. We recognise that updates and visibility have been limited for a period of time, and that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Going forward, this will change. In the weeks ahead, we’ll be increasing the frequency of marketing material and communications, offering clearer insight into development progress and what’s being worked on behind the scenes. This ramp-up will continue steadily right up until release, ensuring the community is informed, aligned, and confident in the direction we’re taking. The development team ( @danut and @n0de101 ) have been churning out updates and fixes for the RAGE server with the help of our tester team and RAGE Insiders and we're looking forward to having this experience available for the wider community. Without further ado, here's our January Community Update: Illegal Faction Team We've had a rough month as IFC/T, as many of you are aware of - as a result of both the holiday period and the current state of the server, things have been slow all round. Following the resignation of two of our Illegal Faction Council members, we're currently considering a number of applications for the role of IFC. There's currently two roles to fill and while the applications are not currently closed; we're excited to announce that @SammyG has been added to the Illegal Faction Council to support IFC/T in rebuilding their structure and focus on supporting the community. We believe that his experience within the illegal roleplay scene will be a great asset to the team. Keep your eye on future announcements, as there's still some strong applicants being considered for the remaining role. I feel that there may be some expectations for us to address the recent discourse that many have seen across the forums and discord, however I feel as though enough has been said on this matter. We're hoping to leave the negativity in 2025, and have a productive and positive new year - onwards and upwards! To make it absolutely clear to the community, IFC/T will continue to support both RAGE and SAMP servers for as long as either or both exist and we've got some exciting things coming soon for both servers! If you've missed it, our wonderful SAMP developer @Robstrap has returned from holidays and already got cracking with a highly requested feature which is now in it's testing phase. You may have seen the below image in #snippets on the LSRP discord. This is a hefty addition to the server, we're excited to work out the kinks alongside the tester team. This feature will reduce the reliance on schemes and applications for the community to be able to participate in realistic drug roleplay without the paperwork. We will also be opening the Illegal Faction Team applications in the new year, so keep your eye out for the announcement if you'd like to get involved. The Illegal Faction Team play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of future updates and features. We encourage anyone interested in supporting SAMP and/or RAGE to get involved. I'd also like to acknowledge that there's not been our usual monthly newsletter, this is due to a number of things - the server is obviously pretty quiet currently and there's been little note-worthy faction activity aside from the unfortunate closure of some of our long standing official factions such as Eastside Hustler Crip. Currently IFC/T needs a lot of work internally before we can produce a significant update for the community. We appreciate all of the feedback we've received, and are hoping that with some time the community will see the changes and updates planned for the server. Staff Update Here are some of December's Key Metrics: There were a total of 678 reports handled There were a total of 399 help requests handled There were a total of 138 character applications handled Congratulations to our newly promoted staff members ...
