Hi everyone, In a flash August is over! We're thrilled to share updates regarding what has been happening across the community. Ranging from Illegal Faction Team updates to our Staff Update. One thing I've personally enjoyed over the past month from the community is the increase in the number of media outlets and content from the streets of Los Santos. If you haven't seen the articles yet, you can see them in the Internet subforum, amongst many other things others are up to. Without further ado, our September Community Update: Illegal Faction Team It's been another terrific and productive month for the Illegal Faction Team. We've brought on a number of new members to the Illegal Faction Team following recent LOI's being submitted and reviewed, we're grateful to have had so many veteran applicants to eager join the team. We've been busy hounding developers with script ideas to help improve realistic roleplay around the server and offer different avenues to conduct certain things. I won't tease anything just yet, but be sure to look out for any new features coming soon! We'd personally like to thank the developers that are assisting us and allowing the teams members to engage in thoughtful discussions that could improve the server. A friendly reminder that all of the schemes that we offer are open, if you believe these interest you and want to see if you fit the requirements please check out the posts here: As some may be aware, Barons Motorcycle Club was locked and archived this month alongside Serbian Transnational Criminal Organisation (STCO). We'd personally like to thank every member and leader of these factions in their efforts to provide the server with high quality roleplay. They've both made a huge impact on the server during their time as official. Their efforts in maintaining a positive and active atmosphere will be missed and we hope to see these faction and their members around someday. With that being said over the last few months we have have had our eyes on a particular faction for some time. They've gone through a lot of ups and downs in recent months, and overall the Illegal Faction Team and Council are impressed with their handling of everything thrown at them while still maintaining a impressive activity level; bringing much needed high-quality street level roleplay to the Idlewood area. We would like to congratulate this faction on becoming the servers newest official faction. Congratulations, 59th & Harlows Bloods. Finally, we'd like to mention the the Illegal Faction Discord now has a functioning ticket system, and we encourage any queries/questions/concerns you may have to be raised through these tickets for a swift and easy response. Whether it's clarification of Rule of Engagement, queries/concerns surrounding your interactions with other factions, or questions about our available schemes - these tickets the best way to open a direct line with our Illegal Faction Team who are eager to help.

This system is quite simple , once per month, active companies will receive a monetary grant straight into their company bank account. This money can be used by companies to pay their employees an hourly pay check. Our hope is that with this addition, more people will be interested in joining companies as they are able to guarantee income for employees, and on top of this, it should also allow companies to pursue more unique roleplay ideas, whilst still being able to support their staff. The company team has also grown this month, receiving support from some additional staff members. Tester Team Applications We're looking for individuals to join our team.

We have been so impressed by our Content Creator community, and I personally didn't even realise how big it actually was! As promised, here is our first Content Creator Spotlight, showcasing some of our favourite community content created over the past couple of months (Spoiler: it's not full of DM videos!). I am also pleased to announce that after careful deliberation, and feedback from other community members, we have pushed 6 content creators up to Level 2 Creators. This allows these creators to take advantage of some additional perks, including being able to submit content to be posted to the official LS-RP socials, and make unique requests in order to help them create better content.

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.
