Hi We're officially half way into the year of 2025. Time has flown incredibly quick, but the saying is true; time flies when you're having fun. We've got quite a big update this month, with introduction of new testers, team updates and our Rage Insider team being announced. All this and we've still got the winners of our giveaway from last month, you can find details out below; Anniversary Giveaway As we announced on LS-RP's 18th birthday, this month we're giving away free Premium Membership to eighteen of our players. Congratulations to the following winners: Eriga — thegoodroleplayer — Orvarr — Burnley — Laylowcki — EZY — dougzb — Johnny_Parisi _bUd_ — Cellophane — Lexie — plasutaOGromania — Sean_Christopher — Jessie_Joji — RocaDarius blancone — skrappy74 — luo You will receive your premium membership within 24 hours of this announcement. If you already have premium membership active, it'll be extended by one month. You'll receive an email once the membership has been activated or extended. Congratulations again, and thank you for playing! Illegal Faction Team The Illegal Faction Team have once again been hard at work alongside our development team to introduce new changes to the script in order to benefit illegal roleplay. We've recently introduced a whole host of drug effects such as; more and less melee damage both given and taken by the player depending on the drug of choice, taser resistance, tackle resistance and beanbag resistance. We hope that this is just one of many upcoming tweaks and changes to the script to provide people with further roleplay and to increase the demand and flow of drugs on the server. We haven't released any information as to the exact effects added in the hopes of the playerbase themselves experimenting and finding their ideal concoction! In the month of June, we're placing a big focus on reviving the Illegal Faction Team Public, and would like to make it far more accessible than it has been since relaunch. Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements for more information on how you can get involved. We're also launching a new initiative/scheme to promote passive roleplay for illegal factions who have hold turf on the Turf Map and meet our expectations in terms of quality and community standing. We're now offering business leases to factions to hold for the duration of their faction's activity. Your application's success will be based off a number of factors including whether or not your faction requires a leased business from IFT to promote roleplay, whether the business type is realistic for your faction, etc. This is not a guarantee for all factions on the turf map, but is intended as a reward for those that deserve it. We'd also like to add that we've opened the LOI's for the Illegal Faction Team. If you'd like to join IFT, please feel free to review the following and forward your LOI to @Aloosh, @unlawfulactand @badhbh. Marketing Team We have been surveying some of our newest players to try and find out how they came to know LS-RP, and why they joined. Almost every response was the same - YouTube! Based on this feedback, we’ve decided it’s time for LS-RP to adopt a more modern marketing approach, similar to those used in other gaming communities. By supporting our creators and offering perks that recognise their hard work and creativity, we aim to strengthen our online presence through engaging content - ultimately attracting more players to the server. The perks provided will include things like FREE LS-RP premium, test server access, content creator highlight inclusions, and more. As well as video bounties that creators can complete which awards credits, whilst providing us with the type of content that we're hoping to see. On top of all of this, we will have a levelling system for content creators, allowing creators to make their way up the ranks, unlocking new perks, and eventually becoming an official LS-RP partner. There is a lot to go through here, and we're excited to tell you more. Stay tuned for a separate announcement on this in the next few days. Staff Update We saw a large number of applications come through for Tester and after long deliberations between the leadership team, I want to share a massive congratulations to our new testers! Our Head of Testers @risen will be reaching out to you.

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! Moving on, congratulations to our newly promoted staff members: Game Admin Demigod — Alooshy Trainee Admin fiellavin

Hi All, hope everyone is well. Welcome to our March Staff Update, we've a lot to cover this month as we've a lot of updates from some of our core teams, you can read about those below. Illegal Faction Team Update The Illegal Faction Team has been diligently working behind the scenes on a number of updates and improvements to enhance our activities. We are excited to welcome @Dos Santos to the Illegal Faction Council. Dos Santos will focus on identifying and addressing the challenges we faced during the initial launch of V, as we prepare for the relaunch of our V server. Additionally, we have also recently opened the Letter of Intent (LOI) process for the Illegal Faction Team and have onboarded new members to support the illegal roleplay scene. Following a discussion between Illegal Faction Council and management, we've agreed on a candidate. We'd like to announce, @unlawfulact as the newest addition to the Illegal Faction Council. With this expanded team, we are actively reopening several schemes. The Scenario Scheme is now managed by @Rye, and the Melee Scheme is overseen by @alooshy. We will soon announce the new heads of the Drug Scheme and Strawman Scheme, which we aim to have reworked and reopened in early March. Furthermore, we have implemented certain measures to ensure that factions of subpar quality are identified and supported in their efforts to meet our high standards. We received significant feedback regarding factions that do not meet LSRP's standards. To address this, we have revised our Turf Requests process. Instead of solely evaluating faction activity, we now consider the faction's overall reputation and the quality of their screenshots and roleplay. Factions that do not meet our standards will be moved to 'Unofficial Factions' until they demonstrate improvements in the required areas. We would also like to remind factions of the support available to them. Any faction with turf on the map can receive assistance from IFT/IFC with properties. We have several complexes available across the map, and if there are none in your specific turf, we are happy to explore creating one or finding alternatives to provide your faction with housing. We are committed to helping your faction in any way necessary. If you have an idea that does not fit within the current schemes, please reach out to us, and we will be happy to collaborate with you and your faction. Mapping Team Update A few words from our Mapping Team Leader @Fiellavin; We've been actively adding maps to enhance engagement across various areas, including companies and illegal factions. Now, we're looking to collaborate with different parts of the server to meet their specific needs. This doesn’t mean we’re stepping away from any group—we’re simply broadening our efforts to ensure all areas receive the attention they need. We welcome any roleplay-oriented map requests, and I’m always open to discussions with those looking to contribute to the community’s growth. Commerce and Estate Team Update A few words from the Commerce and Estate Council: Over the past few weeks we have reached out for and looked into player to gather feedback on property auctions and where they would like to see new properties being auctioned. Based on the community input, we are excited to announce a new bi-monthly schedule for auctions to better satisfy the players' needs for properties. Moreso, we have started auctioning unowned complexes around the server to better help address the ongoing property shortage caused by blocking apartments purchases without complex owner consent. Make sure to keep an eye on the Auctions boards as we plan on introducing more complex auctions in the near future. Event Team Update A few words from our Event Team Leader @JustSid: I’m honoured to step up as the new Events Team Leader and continue the work of making LS-RP an exciting, immersive, and unforgettable roleplay experience. First off, a huge thanks to @danielswe for all the effort and dedication put into this role before me. Moving forward, Our focus will be on expanding event opportunities, bringing more large-scale, story-driven events, and ensuring that both legal and illegal roleplayers have more dynamic, engaging interactions. I want to make sure the Events Team is working closely with factions, businesses, and community leaders to craft unique moments. If you have ideas, feedback, or just want to be involved in upcoming events, my DMs are always open. Let’s push LS-RP’s roleplay experience to new heights together. See you all in-game. Big things are coming.

Hi All Hope everyone had a good starting month to the year 2025, we've not much to report on this month since a lot of our efforts have been going into the well awaited 14.0 SA-MP Feature update that was deployed yesterday, you can find out more about that here: Illegal Faction Team updates We've a small update from our Illegal Faction Team Council; As per the new illegal faction team regulations all new (or recently re-opened) factions are obliged to submit a turf application if they've been around for 2 weeks. This is mostly for quality control, once you have turf. You will be moved from unofficial factions to the main faction board where you will be considered verified. Letters of interest that have been submitted are in the process of being reviewed, these will be finalised by end of the week. Without further ado, onto the staff update; Staff Update This month we're going to be opening up our tester recruitment cycle, we had our last batch of Testers at the beginning of November.

Heres to another year!

Hey. Please shoot me a PM and we'll get the mapping you had looked into and added. I know there was a previous request but I want to make sure it is actioned properly this time. Apologies on the previous attempt, we've now setup communications like I said. I'll work on a way for active factions to make direct requests.

By the time we implement something in that construction zone spot, yeah it might be completely different. We're building examples and playing with different ideas.

If you read, its not final and is subject to change. Its shedding light on we have mappers actively working on the server.

Hiding it so public opinion doesn't cloud judgement on a staff report, while I'm all for transparency the case with Iudex was black and white hacking. This one is a little more complex with it surrounding LFM Rules, investigation into the situation, and so forth. Last thing we need is for public opinion to go right out the window and demand action when the clip is severely out of context! The report has been forwarded for investigation regardless. Along with that, if you look at the recommended post on this topic, it offers nothing constructive from a brand new burner account. This topic is not the place to do it, you get transparency when we are certain of actions and conclusions.
