Great stuff

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. For an invite, click here. Company Team This month we have incorporated a new employee income system. 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. If you're passionate about helping others, and want to contribute towards making LS-RP an even better place, we need YOU! Applications are open until end of day 21st September 2025.

Hi everyone, July has escaped us all! As summer winds down, we're excited to share updates regarding what has been happening across the community. Ranging from Illegal Faction Team updates to our Staff Update. If you haven't already checked out our Content Creator Spotlight I'd recommend you do so, this also provides instructions on how to apply and insights regarding perks you can get whilst being a content creator. A brief note from @Mmartin: Over the past few weeks, there's been a focus on making adjustments in our server management to allow for a more decentralized, self-sustainable and efficient structure. A couple of weeks ago, we opened LOIs for Lead Admin positions, and as a result there's been quite a few recent promotions and a great deal of progression within the staff team. I'd like to share the changes to our management structure; @badhbh is taking on the Head of Operations (HOO) role; she knows that side of the server inside and out and I've no doubt that she's a great choice and will do well to ensure the teams that fall under Ops run smoothly. This will require her stepping away from the day to day of Legal/Illegal faction management however with the help of our newly promoted staff members, these teams have not been left unattended. She will also be supported by @Lemon as Assistant Head of Operations. @bobster is taking on the Head of Staff (HOS) role; bobster has been leading the admin team for quite some time now and has done an excellent job with it, so once again I'm fully confident in this choice. Due to this change, it opened open the position of Head of Admins, which has since been filled by @risen and as a result Head of Testers has been filled by @celestine. I'd like to thank all involved in the management of our staff team for the immense effort and dedication each one of you have shown so far. We've also taken on three new (and returning) members to the development team as of late. It's great to see that we've so many passionate staff members, and I'm excited to see what the future holds. There's still further changes to be made, and positions to open up which will be discussed/announced in due course. Without further ado, our August Community Update: Illegal Faction Team July has been an extremely productive month for the Illegal Faction Team. Over the course of the month the Illegal Faction Team has been working side by side with server developers, coming up with ideas on how to increase the level of roleplay surrounding illegal factions, from clothing items to new scripts. Look out for these in our current and upcoming updates! If these discussions are something that interest you make sure to either reach out to @Kev for Illegal Faction Team Public queries or keep your eyes peeled for Illegal Faction Team recruitment openings. We would like to congratulate @badhbh on her recent promotion. She has held down Illegal Faction Council for some time now, and with her recent promotion, will be taking a step back from IFC. With this change came an opening in the Illegal Faction Council. We would like to thank every applicant who sent in a LOI for the position. It's great to see how many people are motivated to lead and encourage changes around the illegal scene on the server. Ultimately, despite there being serious competition with the applicants, we would like to congratulate @Rye on becoming the newest addition to IFC. We look forward to seeing his contributions to the team. Rye has been an active and dedicated member of the Illegal Faction Team, and his promotion to Illegal Faction Council is very well deserved. We would also like to congratulate a faction that over the last few months has been generating nothing but terrific roleplay. Following their recent application to join the ranks of Official Faction Candidates, alongside Harlows, we would like to congratulate The Marat Gusarov Brigade on becoming an Official Candidate. We're excited to see the new heights you reach with the support of your faction handler. We'd also like to welcome @LaMarcus_Boone and @meri to the Illegal Faction Team. Company Team We have been busy making important updates to the company system! One of the main aspects that we have been working on is the economy between companies and the wider community. Company assets now have real value, where companies can now sell assets to eachother, and when a company closes down, it's assets are now liquidated, allowing other companies (and soon everyone else) to have the ability to purchase these liquidated assets on auction. We have also seen a massive uptick in company applications lately, hitting a record high for this year! Along with this, we have also noticed the activity of current companies increasing across the board! Things are going really well, and we thank everyone who is putting in so much to bring opportunities to players through their companies. If you're interested in applying for a company, you can find out more information here.

I think the tapering system does work, but: The reward reset time of 8 hours is too long and the reductions in pay are too tough, I mainly aim this statement at people who want to earn money via script jobs. You are able to earn good rewards by Trucking/Mowing, but only notably for your first/second hour. This shouldn't be the case, and as you play more towards the 8 hour mark you definitely feel the squeeze you are paid around $10 for a trucking run across the entire city. The reward isn't even worth the time the player spends doing the job... Yes, this was put in place to reduce the 'grindset' but the rewards are simply too low towards the end of the tapering period. Completely removing tapering doesn't actually benefit anyone. With the removal of tapering, you will essentially (as stated in my message above posted by Dos Santos) play more to earn less. For those of you who aren't in a legal faction and do the script jobs, this means that you will have to spend more time working rather than actually focusing on roleplaying. This suggestion just essentially divides your total earnings for 8 hours by/8, and that's assuming that you actually want to spend 8 hours working. (Spoiler: You probably won't!) The rewards for script-based jobs and/or things that civillian players have need to be tweaked, as previously stated first/second hour rewards are seemingly fine, but anything beyond that is subpar, yes there is a slight difference for those who are in player-owned companies, but this still also impacts them. Resetting the reward limit every 4 hours increases your earning potential, you are likely to be paid more, and if you want to log in for a couple of hours in the morning, log back into the server in the evening - your reward timer will be reset. Woohoo! No more waiting an entire working days worth of hours for your reward timer to reset.

Congratulations everyone!

Love this!

Congratulations!
