I'm so late to the party here, but so excited that the SD is still gonna be around. Used to love RP with the SD out of the city. I may alt up and make an SD character. Maybe. I'd be interested in seeing how the SD and PD differ on here - there were a lot of cultural differences back when I played actively but who knows how things look nowadays. Good luck with managing the prison too!

A large Dominos pizza with meatballs, ground beef, jalapenos, garlic sauce and peppers. A side of chicken kickers. A dessert of Dominos cookies and some strawberry cheesecake Ben and Jerries ice cream. And a fucking big bottle of wine.

Someone mentioned this already, but the flaws are obviously really important. It takes a pretty mature person to be able to RP a character which has flaws that they themselves don't have too. For instance, roleplaying a character who has racial or gender biases. Or perhaps a character who is a bit dumb, where the player themselves might be pretty intelligent. All comes down to the fact that we aren't our characters; and to try to make it so isn't really a healthy way of playing. Make an interesting character with strengths, weaknesses and depth. Don't remake yourself, and don't be attached to them too much because you have to let in-game events shape them too - and these things can be very much out of your control.

Salutations, and welcome to you!

Provided this show does not go in the same direction as GoT, I'm very excited about it. Anyone else? Please no spoilers if you've read the book already - I have not!

This is good to know. General consensus seems to be for the Quest 2 so far so I think I'll go for that as a starter. I suppose I could always sell it on again if I wanted to get something more spenny. I've heard that opening windows, having a fan pointed at you etc helps. Plus I invested in some of those anti-sickness bands with the pressure point things on them. If I can't play after all of that, at least I won't have broke the bank over it.

There was this sort of middle ground when GTA4 was out, when most folks didn't seem to have computers that could handle anything more than GTA SA. So even when the GTA4 RP servers came out, they were quiet purely because many folks just didn't have the hardware to handle it. Nowadays, graphics cards and memory are much more affordable and that's probably had a big impact on why people actually can play games like GTA5 on their computer. People who play on laptops too - I think my old gaming laptop would still have exploded if I tried GTA4, nevermind 5. But yeah it's all more accessible now, and I think that's had a big impact on the demand for RageMP. Regardless of the reasons, I'm glad of things moving in this direction. Trés exciting.

As feminine as I may sound, I wouldn't quite be able to pull off trying to voice a female character 😉 But yep, good ol' text-based server.

I still have an iPhone 8. Bought it outright years ago so my monthly contract is just for unlimited data, so I’m profiting heavily now. Never felt the need to upgrade either; the battery sucks but they always do. I just carry battery packs with me. Tried a Samsung a couple years back and just couldn’t get into it. The iPhone done got me good.

Riiight right tbf I never actually did much with RP with gangs I just kept up with the faction threads. Is that what you'll be RPing on here then I guess? Thanking you!

I feel like LSRP shutting up shop was probably the end of most SAMP roleplay. I know there were others, but most seem to have migrated to GTAV already. Still I'll always look back on SAMP roleplay with fond memories and nostalgia.

Thought I remembered you - what did you RP? Was it PD? Soz my memory is shit 'cause I'm an old bastard now. Greetings to you, and welcome.

Welcome back. Your name rings bells (I tend to remember most folks who had a blue name). Good to have more old players coming back 🙂

Thank you FF fwend! Fanks - you were an old player from a few years ago right? Bonjour.

It was only a matter of time..... Welcome, welcome back.

O.G. to the tilted fedora. Characters: Allegra Nixon Several randoms Random Facts: 30 years young Male British. Northerner. Favourite show is/was GoT until the last series Favourite music is cheesy pop shite Played LSRP since 2008. Probably known for either A) being the Mayor in 2012 or B) randomly quitting aka 'pulling an Allegra' or C) unironically rocking a tilted fedora Also into FF14, strategy games and world domination Also best scene ever (spoilers GoT):

Yeah I think that's a good idea. Might be the case that staff may run some of the businesses initially just to get off the ground. It'll be important for making sure that folks have a place to go, things to do etc in the first few weeks while many characters won't know each other etc. Having an idea of what the launch plan in general would be awesome really - get a bit of drumroll and hype.

Anybody got VR sets? Been chatting on Disc earlier and am considering getting one. All I have is my old Playstation VR kit and I know things have come a long way since then. The Oculus Quest 2 comes highly recommend particularly as a first purchase, as it's pretty cheap compared to others on the market. With that being said, the main reason I want to get a kit is to play games like Skyrim and Fallout and feel like I'm in the world. Not too bothered about the arcade-style games tbf. So it'd be Steam games primarily. Other options have been the Valve Index and HTC Vive Pro 2 - both much more expensive but higher in resolution. So yeah, do you have VR setups for your computer, or are you considering getting one? Keen to hear more, plus how you get over any motion sickness because I know I got it pretty bad on the PS.

I wonder how it’ll work in terms of taxes. Back in the day, funds for projects had to be requested by admins (requests like this were often rejected though). I guess I’d be interested in knowing more about the economy and where the money sinks will be, what proactive things are in place to limit inflation etc, but that’s not entirely related to the topic at hand here. So yeah, the degree to which gov will have access to city funds, and how much say it has in how such funds are distributed (potentially even going so far as to impact on public service salaries and all that) would be interesting to know too.

Oh awesome, cool. I need to look into these systems more tbf.

"Borrowing" a portaloo with the help of the SD in order to try and catch a corrupt politician using drugs. Playing the Mission Impossible theme in the background as we did it. It's a long story, best not to elaborate.

This actually came up in the stream last night - it doesn't look likely that the "use two characters to combine their skin tones" option is going to be there at launch, but given that it was brought up twice by people watching (ok I was one of them teehee) it's something Mmartin said he'll think about. I suppose the main point on this one is that certain other servers do offer this, and character creation is going to be one of the first thing that potentially migrating players will do. Having less options than what they're used to isn't ideal. However with that being said, I'm no coder and I get that any major changes to features like this could cause problems and delays, which nobody wants. All I know is that Mmartin is listening to people and their ideas (refreshing), and although not everything can be accommodated, he and the team are gonna do what they can to make folks happy.
