I've read multiple posts over the last week regarding the issues with people being frustrated with robberies. I'm trying to keep my character clean and do his regular job, but even tonight I've played for about 3 hours and honestly been robbed 4 times just doing my delivery routes (including taking back roads and driving completely off road just to avoid it). Being robbed is just boring now because its expected. When I first got here it was exciting, but now its the same old crap. It's so bad infact that I don't even bother buying anything for my inventory anymore or take cash out because I'm sick of simply being held up for it in my sluggy truck. As I said at the start; I'm trying to keep my character clean because that seems to be the unique thing to do, but with the way everything is going the entire server will be criminals soon because if you cant beat them, join them, but where's the realistic side of things in all of that? Cops versus criminals with paramedics in-between. Its all good to say its crap and boring, but what can we do about it? Perhaps take a look at gameplay options. For example; if a gang has itself invested in a certain business (whether it be known to the public or not) all its members are told to steer clear of the workers (ie; gang and/or member of said gang that holds rank owns a petrol station. The members are instructed to leave all tanker truck drivers alone, and even protect them if they see them being held up because without the honest hard working tanker driver, they're fuel business is going no where). You obviously don't own the tanker business the truck driver is working for, but you need that business to deliver your fuel, so their services becomes vital. Gangs associated with importing illegal weapons etc, leave the postal service and truck drivers pulling cargo trailers alone and protect them if you see anything. (You need the postal and freight system) A gang has control or influence over one of the financiers/banks? Well there's your answer to leave the money transporters alone and protect it. I can go on but you get the picture, or at least the concept of what I'm trying to propose. If your gang or one of its well respected members is invested in a business, then you and your gang are going to protect it at ALL costs. Heck, this could even create better roleplaying situations and reasoning for gangs to hold grudges/issues with another gang who has targeted one its services. Perhaps even look at the pay these slower vehicle jobs are paying because again; whats the incentive to players who are no longer new to continue doing it when its so easy to be held up and lose everything? The easiest thing for a player to do these days is join a gang, get some backup, and go make/sell drugs for quick cash, and that's exactly what happens to new players after they come to the realisation that working in a sluggy truck that will NEVER get away from criminals is doing them no justice. But there IS players here (I for one) who as I said above; DONT want to revert to what's easy. Everybody seems to want to be in a criminal gang with all your badass character personalities, and its just getting predictable and boring. That's my two dollars of hot chips. I'd appreciate hearing what anybody thinks. Cheers.

No worries. What is the admin advise here? Do we need to spend the money again to re-mod or just wait it out for a fix?

Excellent idea and +1 for sure! Big ups for the effort in executing the proposal idea aswell - well thought over.

Hey all, My RageMP just updated (which obviously will happen for all), but when I'm logged in all the cars in the market places are red in colour and basic, including my own which I upgraded last night before listing it for sale. Just want to see if this is a known issue that will iron itself out of if its an issue just on my end. Cheers.

Looking for some extra income to pay and justify the mortgage? Hard working, clean 33yr old looking for a cheap place to rent (preferably close to the city). 1 Garage, 1 Bed, 1 Key is perfect. Do not want to share. Landlord agrees to stay away (privacy required though nothing illegal happening here). Holding steady daily income at Los Santos Depository. Willing to spend five to eight thousand per week, and willing to offer an up-front refundable deposit bond of ten thousand providing both parties terms are agreed. (Eg: Must give 1 weeks notice of intentions to move, then the $10k is returned once the last rent payment is received. Failure to pay one week or failure to give notice would result in the landlord keeping the cash, etc). Please contact Dave on #4572406 with address info and offer/terms.

Its funny because there are so many rules to keeping it real life and IC as much as possible, though simple road rules are not a big deal. Now I get it totally - Your not gonna stop at every red light or stop sign, or stay to the speed limit (that's a real life thing too) but to race past a cop and do burn outs, or smash into things, run multiple red lights and drive off in-front of a law enforcer is the definition of unrealistic right? But to the cops out there doing the highway patrol work - good on ya!

This response will obviously be of no help, but I had the same issue. I purchased a new mic and headset for $300 to replace my cheap USB mic and headset when I started doing online radio work (the USB connected headsets wouldn't work on the mixxx program - plus... it was cheap!). Anyway, so matter what I did with the settings and suggested tricks it just wouldn't work. I could clearly hear people, but my mic wouldn't work. Last night just to try I plugged the old $30 USB mic and headset in and wouldn't ya know the damn thing worked!

Hey all, I've been apart of the server for nearly a week now, and I clock about 4 to 6 hours a night on it. I try to follow the road rules to the best of my ability to add the real factor, though so many times people are doing 90+ within the city, driving through stuff, wrong side of the road, purposely sometimes crashing into me or my truck when I'm driving it, and it really sucks though I know there's no much that can be done to stop people that are bored I guess. My question for this post though is regarding traffic enforcement by the police. Is there such a thing on this server? I know they'll respond to bigger pressing matters that are radio'd in, though I've seen plenty of times where a patrol is stopped. I'll either be there talking with the Officer or just parked and someone will come driving through on the wrong side of the road, or they are speeding, and not once have I seen a patrol take off after them, nor have I ever seen a patrol with a car simply pulled over as I pass. Not picking, just asking the question. For those that follow the rules at least to an extent; I thank you as its people like us that are making this game very enjoyable at least from my perspective. Cheers!

Hey all, I've managed to work out the issue with another member, so thank you anyway! Cheers.

Hey all, Just thought I'd throw a quick introduction out there. My name is David I'm 33 from Aust. Been playing for quite a few years, though only new to the roleplay scene. Watched heaps of it over the years, though never made the plunge over myself. Anyway! Glad to be here, and can't wait to get involved. Look forward to meeting up with you in game. Cheers!
