Id guess 600-800mbs? I dont think I've ever paid enough attention to it to be 100% on it, but that's an estimate

I personally do not see a difference between buying an apartment's for credits and renting it out for ingame money, to sending someone money irl for money ingame, it shouldn't be a thing at all. Cars are different, they were only obtainable years ago and there aren't that many of them around anyway, I fail to see how few vehicles can affect the experience the same way as infinite amount of apartment's that can be purchased/rented

I never said suggestions that as a whole improve the experience for example the ones you listed ( bank accounts, business f4 menu etc ) shouldn't be implemented, quite the opposite. But I do believe that CIV RP focused features would be a waste of time from the perspective of usage compared to effort put into them, because if 90% + of the server population is a part of a faction and spend most of their time doing things related to it, the amount of time they will spend on a monthly basis doing something outside of it will not even be comparable to it. Don't get me wrong, I am all up for everything to get more and more things and openings for people to use their creativity and imagination, but from the perspective of time invested I would always go for something that either: a) every individual playing would use on a daily basis ( such as bank accounts, f4 menu for personal business etc. ) b) related to improving the depth of crim or faction rp But in regards to CIV RP, sure I can see where you are coming from, but the same way I didn't agree that every criminal should afk 24/7 in their rv cooking ( when labs were taken out and everyone cooked personally ) I do not agree that every civ should be a businessman. IMO any sort of improvements/additions will be looked from the POV of " is this going to make me any money ", and not how can I use this to expand on to my roleplay experience.. Cause let's be honest, almost nobody RPs a character or a life, but only a job with hints of a lifestyle/character progression here and there occasionally, so personally I do not see how CIV RP should be focus of improvements while the legal/crim system have a lot to be in terms of providing freedom as to how they spend their day to days, where majority of the players will

Again a topic in which I agree with Bala, not sure whether it's due to the amount of time we've both spent here, or our similar mindset when it comes to RP, but ruleplaying has been a thing ever since the dm/robbery rules got changed ( I cannot remember when that exactly was ) imo, and all of these restrictions and specifications that need to happen to allow you to do X or Y is what's causing all of it IMO. The way I see it, deathmatching should be treated the exact same way insults used to be ( I've heard since I am back that those are now regulated as well even though they are purely IC and anyone that takes offense to them outside of their character, are basically mixing but that's another topic ). Rules shouldn't dictate situations, IC actions should. If you deserve to be shot, you get shot, if you deserve to be beaten, you get beaten. It's very simple how our minds are able to determine what scenario requires a use of a firearm and what gets resolved with fists or verbal communication IRL, but somehow everyone is trying to tell me that here we cant? Cmon.. IC is IC, sure outliers such as ppl shooting up a bank, or pier ( as it used to be a case ) or people vdming cuz they are bored should be deal with on the spot, no reports needed. But if people had more freedom to react the way they believe is right, it would reduce the amounts of reports ( Imo ), which would reduce the amount of rule playing as you wouldn't be as scared of being reported after every thing you do. Most people probably wouldn't remember, but for sure Balla and the people that used to play then would, but there was a shooting at DOC, me and Gamble were being arrested, huge amount of pd/sd/doc/md were involved from legal side, Irish, Zetas, Clowns ( maybe Triads ? cannot remember if they were around at the time ), it resulted in a shootout involving 150+ people, I do not recall a single report coming from that scenario, it lasted for idk 20-30 minutes, 50-60 vehicles all over DOC Parking lot etc. and yet somehow nobody felt " hurt " oocly enough to make a report, because it was good shit, everyone had fun and everyone was involved in something that made sense ICly and RPly. TLDR: The more restrictions are added to each rule, the more ruleplaying will be done, and every scenario will feel fake and scripted because it ends up being a tick the box exercise instead of an organic interaction between humans. PS: This doesn't mean that rules shouldn't be enforced or a thing, but that scenarios should be looked at dynamically in regards to the circumstantial evidence of each one individually and basing the judgement call whether it was realistic reasoning to do X or Y from situation to situation, instead of trying to fit every single scenario into a single mold where you have to tick certain box in order to allow actions to happen. The exact same situation between 2 random people or 2 gang members from opposite gangs which are currently hostile towards each other due to a certain reason will not share the same mindset of actions in the situation, while 2 people that have never met each other would perhaps take things more cautiously and try and play it as safe as possible, gangs in war will not care for stuff such as whether anyone would see or if they will go to prison, or if they might die at the end of it.

^ this is the reality. I've had a similar conversation around 2019 ~ with Purm and cant remember who else, so I don't have to repeat what Balla said using different words or phrasing, point im trying to make is, I can guarantee that every individual no matter what sort of RP are they doing would prefer if they had more features related to the RP they are interested in. I am yet to see a single person do the most common RP tasks such as buying groceries and carrying them to their home, driving a town car and not the most expensive/fastest car they own, or taking a shower/putting their clothes on.. Sure people do all that when it comes to character story development posts on forums, but in reality nobody ever does any of these " normie " things on the day to day, I mean nobody even goes to home and RPs going to bed before logging off, but instead just alt f4s either after parking a car or hopping off duty. It's kinda weird to ask for script support or " civilian RP upgrades " when even the most basic things that fall under civ RP something that each and every one of us tho every single day is not present. I understand the idea behind it, but at the end of the day untill the RP Quality of Civ RP is brought to a much higher standard, anything added will be used for a week or two and forgotten unless it brings money, and at that point I believe the time would've been spent better on Legal/Crim side of the things, which are where 90% of the server plays at

Why would I interview someone to determine what happened infront of an officer? How can bodycams ever be something anti roleplay if police irl are forced to wear them whether they want to or not, and since definition of roleplay is simulating real life I am struggling to understand as to where is a problem here.. On the other hand, if you meant civilians/crims having bodycams I am completely behind the idea of them not having a bodycam, so far I haven't seen a single person irl that wasn't a part of police/emergency services that had a bodycam. If civilians/non ems members wish to record something I would suggest using /record or dashcam footage to provide that instead of " bodycam "

Sure time wise, but in reality since you will spend more time playing prior to obtaining required amount of XP, your knowledge and experience of the game/server/rp itself will grow much faster than someone that has had to play less amount of time. So yeah maybe they might end up reaching the 30k goal faster, but the person that has obtained it regularly will progress faster and provide higher quality due to the experience and knowledge obtained along the way imo. In regards to the topic itself, I agree to most things BUT I do not agree with any sort of material gains such as penthouse, car etc. It would provide too big of an incentive to purchase a VIP/Donator instead of playing the game itself. IE: Instead of dividing money on guns/ammo/clothes/fuel/vehicle/property etc, you buy donator obtain a vehicle, penthouse and on top of that perks on the side, it would take away too much from the gameplay itself as you could just funnel all the money into just a specific thing and not have to worry about half of the things you normally do in an RP environment. At the end of the day, personally I would remove any gameplay perks from donator/vip systems and only include cosmetics inside them and leave anything else to the game itself, I can get behind stuff like jail time etc. cause at the end of the day they are QoL perks but getting free stuff that someone else grinds for, nah. Overall: +1 with removal of assets from vip/donator perks

Very confusing question... With a purchased GTA V you gain access to GTA Online it is not a separate title, at least not on PC can't speak for consoles, but as far as I know RAGE is only available for PC. If you have GTA V either on Epic, Social Club or Steam you will be able to join the server

Are you sure you have done every step listed above, in the order its written?

rofl it was never introduced to be complex, just to simply make u check ur game every now and again instead of booting you without you being aware ur afk time passed, while ur add it why not add 5000 word essays being written every time I want to log in to make sure people aren't under influence

Yes, I am aware that the last reply is a year old, but was looking through the posts and saw this one, when it comes to all graphical mods, there are " edits " of these mods which remove SP shit and make them completely usable on RAGE MP, from installation process to their changes of game files/installing new ones. Yes Redux is fully usable on RAGE MP and personally I have used it for quite some time untill I moved on to NVE. You just need to get yourself a RAGE MP Compatible download of Redux and it will work like a charm.

stop the hostage memes, its been a thing for past few weeks, people rob banks on a daily and get away, you got caught lackin, its that simple
