Hello how are you, I am stuck in the water, out here too much raining brrr

Reacc

Great stuff @30PiecesOfSilver! Glad to hear you've noticed the changes in a positive way I'm not 100% certain how the script handles you missing a car payment at the moment, I think the car is only removed if you don't pay at all for a good amount of time, but don't quote me on that! For anyone who may have been following this topic with a similar viewpoint to the OP, we have a section now where you can point out issues with the economy in an official manner, or suggest ideas:

@30PiecesOfSilver how do you feel about things now since first making this post? Since then we have incorporated the universal income, more support for businesses, faction scenario schemes etc, are things moving in the right direction?

Great words to hear! I'm glad you're enjoying the server Business applications are opening up again shortly, possibly tomorrow There will be more businesses opening up soon too as we do already have a lot owned by players, they just need furnished mainly, which is taking a while as people get used to the new system We have incorporated a bonus to mappers who want to help companies map their interiors, so we can get them finished quicker Thanks for sticking with us despite the initial viewpoint

This basically! When people get a business, they need to pay for licenses, prepare staff, and furnish it - Furnishing it takes the longest and people are getting used to the new system There are actually quite a lot of businesses, but yeah... They just need to get started @Dos Santos has been doing a very good job at encouraging people and with apps opening back up hopefully we'll get more too

Let's go!

We're our own community with a lot of history and dedicated players. Things are getting better, we literally just launched, there's a lot being discussed behind the scenes and a lot being worked on.

Since the server has since released and we have new people around, I thought I'd bump this back up for people to have a look at Hope you enjoy my vintage profile banners!

Hell yeah! Let's goooooooooooooo! Congrats everyone! To those of you who didn't make it, apply again on the next batch! Most people don't get accepted on their first application

Holy moly, THE @TommyB is now on the dev team!? Things are about to get 10x better

I think this is a fair and important point, there are a huge portion of players not in a faction, I for one have never been in one, legal nor illegal, it would be good to discuss the possibilities of something like this in coming meetings potentially @Sal? @9TriLLo There were also some mentions of income via player companies for now

How tf did you make this

Very good to point out We did considering this while making these changes. Jobs that are not the default script jobs either won't have tapering paychecks (for example bartenders, or other jobs where the boss would /pay you) or will have more favourable calculations This means that once there's more companies floating about, it will be more attractive to go work for them instead of the default script jobs, meaning that hopefully roleplay style jobs will be the best option for people to work at

!!!!!!!!!

The time has come

Hell yeah!

Not sure what you've got going on there Daniels, gonna give that a 7 though

Congrats guys!

Good luck to those applying!

Hell yeah!

This gives the illegal scene more to do, but takes away from the legal scene and the average player's ability to take part in gambling It should be done in a way which can benefit both sides. Legal casinos have a tonne of regulations that they must follow if they want to operate, as well as extremely high taxes (50% back in SAMP). This gives illegal factions the opportunity to come in and undercut casinos, as they will not need to give half of their profits to tax. The reason illegal gambling wasn't a thing in SAMP was because gambling was not covered by the scamming rule, meaning if you were gambling illegally, you could pay someone $1M for them just to run away. The way to fix this is to add some rules that protect certain games which would stop players from being able to be scammed so easily. With protections for players in place, illegal casinos will be able to offer gambling at lower rates that legal casinos, with protections for the players. An issue this raises though is that players would only ever decide to go to illegal casinos if they were full of advantages over legal casinos, to mitigate this, I think a limit to the max amount of money allowed to be gambled before it's no longer protected by rules would need to be in place, or some other nerf. The truth is this sort of thing is pretty complicated to work out if we are to try and support both the illegal and legal gambling scene, and honestly both should be supported as it isn't realistic to have neither of the two options.

Thank you for the love guys ❤️
