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.

Hi everyone, November is done and we're heading into the most wonderful time of the year! The last community update of 2025 is here, and we can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It feels like 2025 has happened in a flash! It might feel a little early to be saying this, but a Happy Christmas to those celebrating. Without further ado, here's our December Community Update: Development Team SA-MP Update (/startshift): A new system is here to let you earn money working shifts at businesses across the city, rewarding you for your roleplay in both player-owned and server-owned businesses. It'll be added to the server upon server restart within the next day/two however in preparation, here’s a quick guide on how it works: Player-Owned Businesses: If a player owns the business, only they (or high-ranking employees) can manage who works there. You must be an employee of the business and the business owner/manager must grant you the "Start Shift" permission. Once you have permission, go inside the business and type /startshift to begin earning! Once you're done and want to clock out, you can /leaveshift. If you decide to leave the premises of your workplace, you'll be automatically removed from the shift after 5 minutes. For Business Owners: You cannot use /startshift at your own business. This system is for your employees to use. Use /setshift to set the hourly pay and the maximum number of people who can work simultaneously (the "limit"). You can grant or revoke the "Start Shift" permission for any employee if you have the Modify Powers rank/permission. Be aware that the funds to pay your staff gets taken from your business cash-box, keep this topped up or risk some unhappy staff members! Server-Owned Businesses: These are businesses that the server owns (e.g., they have no character owner). If the server has enabled shifts for the business, you can use /startshift inside the building to begin working! If you decide to leave the premises of your workplace, you'll be automatically removed from the shift after 5 minutes. It'll take us a little time once the update is live to manually set each individual server-owned business to be used for /startshift. Keep an eye out on the forums and Discord for more updates on what areas have been handled; if there's a server-owned business that you'd like to make sure is added quickly, please reach out to a member of Commerce & Estate team with the business ID to speed things up. Illegal Faction Team It's been a relatively quiet month for the Illegal Faction Team, however as we go into the holiday period and the server slows down a little we want to continue to make sure we are still constantly providing whatever the server needs to maintain activity. As of late, there's been an increased interest in prison roleplay which we're always excited to see. As a response, we've opened our Prison Scheme & would like to remind anyone who wishes to roleplay long-term prison or parole to reach out to us for support if you'd like to be set up OOCly with either parole/prison time. We recommend anyone interested in getting involved to check out the forum threads for the White Car/Sureno Car and Black Car. We still have plenty of schemes available for both factions and solo players so if you do believe you or your faction might be a good fit for these please submit your application, or reach out the Illegal Faction Team with any queries you may have. We've been working alongside the development team, as usual to brainstorm ideas for future features and we're hoping to continue these discussions into December. As always if you have an idea that you would like to bring forward for possible implementation, please reach out to one of the members of Faction Team Council to assist with a discussion. We're also relaunching our furnishing competition, which was a great success last run. If you're interested in participating again - or for the first time - take a look at the thread and hit us up with your application! Once again, the winner will be awarded 2,000 UCP credits along with runner-up and participation rewards. Your application must be in by 7th December to be in with a chance at winning! With holiday season underway, even if you don’t celebrate it, The Illegal Faction Team hope you enjoy the month of December with your loved ones, friends and family. Remember to keep an eye out for our Illegal Faction Newsletter within the next week for a more detailed overview of the work going on behind the scenes to support the illegal roleplay community.
