Literally everywhere in the city is free for you to race in but 4 of the most populated locations in the city. Besides, it's an NCZ which you should not be racing in at all.

Hey. The implementation of speed cameras is more of an OOC solution than IC. We understand that this is not how cameras work In Real Life but we made the decision to have them function as they do for the sole reason of solving an OOC problem. The amount of reckless driving around these very public and populated areas is unrealistic, we understand that it may happen once in a while that a car drives past the biggest bank or hospital going 150+ but that's not the case on Eclipse, it happens all the time. After the great influx of new players, this problem became more apparent to us than ever as we'd always come to these areas and find 3-6 people injured because of a car going too fast. Edit: One could argue, "Why don't administrators hand out admin punishments?" and while yes that is a valid argument, we instead wanted to add an automated solution and somewhat make it In Character. I am sure that in the future when we see significant improvement in driving in these areas, will the speed cameras be adjusted in terms of how they work.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Community Update March 16th, 2019 Dear Eclipse Community, It’s no secret that our community is significantly growing, with particular attention to a large number of new players and existing players we have had return to the community over the last few weeks. We would like to encourage our existing players who may have more roleplay experience to take the time to be patient and help the new players out if they’re unsure of certain commands, or equally are new to roleplay, it is a combined effort that has got us to the stage where we are at now and it is the same combined effort which will allow us to continue growing. QUIZ MANAGEMENT TEAM With the recent and sudden influx of new players, we've reached an unimaginable quiz application queue that we did not expect. In order to swiftly and efficiently handle applications now and in the future, we've created a Quiz Management Team which will consist of Quiz Assistants (players) whose primary responsibility will be monitoring and concluding role-play quizzes and assuring quality among new players. This position is considered Junior Staff and thus you will be expected to read and understand our Staff Master Policy. The criteria for the position are as following: • You will need to possess the ability to demonstrate good characteristic traits and judgment. • You need to be willing to teach and educate new community members and answer questions pertaining to the quiz. • You need to be willing to sit through and review role-play quizzes that come through our system. • You need to possess good knowledge of our server rules and RP guides. • You will need to have been a member of the community for a reasonable time. • You need to be in relatively good standing with the community (no major recent punishment(s)). Find the application form for the Quiz Management Team below:- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdusagYWQN-BrBoEZuwGfWtdsg6S8XtBDe8cCRtLLAqdyfhtQ/viewform SUPPORT TEAM APPLICATIONS We would also like to remind you that our Head of Support, Lewis, posted an announcement yesterday announcing the opening of Support Team applications. If you are interested in becoming a member of our Support Team, please direct your attention to his announcement. The difference between our Quiz Management Team and Support Team is responsibilities. The Support Team is much more difficult to become apart of and has a wider variety of responsibilities both In-Game and out of Game, whereas the Quiz Management Team solely focus on role-play quizzes. Find a link to the announcement below:- https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/15755-support-staff-applications-are-open/ REFUND & TRANSFER REQUESTS We would like to apologize for the prolonged time that refund requests have taken up until now. We've not had a good system in place and we've relied on one or a few staff members to handle refunds, which has been stressful for them and causing an inconvenience for the player, and that was never our intention. Hopefully, that will change now. We've recently introduced a new system internally in the administration team allowing more of our staff to assist the community with reviewing potential loss of items due to server or client issues. This will essentially allow for quick and more efficient handling of refund requests and making it less inconvenient for the player. We will do our best to handle refund requests in the order which they come in, starting with the oldest refund request open. In addition to the above, with our new server rules published and put into effect on the 25th of February, we've also combined transfer requests with refund requests and we've created guidelines for transfer requests. Much like refund requests, the staff team will be able to handle your transfer requests in a quick and efficient manner, again, making it less inconvenient for the player. We ask that you keep yourself informed and that you read our guidelines for both refund and transfer requests. Guidelines for Refund Requests Guidelines for Transfer Requests FACTION APPLICATIONS We would like to thank everyone who applied for faction leadership for Weazel News and San Andreas Department of Corrections. We received a good amount of applications that we'll start reviewing this week, and we will begin interviewing candidates shortly thereafter. On an end note, we would thank community members for their continued support and trust that we have their security and enjoyment in mind at all times. We look forward to what the future will bring with these great new opportunities ahead. Yours, Eclipse Staff

@Lewis

Yes! Everyone's welcome. Wear something nice.

-1 for now, +1 in the future once firearms and licensing is a thing. We can't possibly argue something to be added because it exists in gun stores in real life, do you think someone who has been convicted of murder and other serious felonies can step into a gun store and legally purchase a gun in the United States? Doesn't sound or seem that way, but right now on Eclipse, anyone who goes to prison for whatever charge can just go back to PD and purchase a gun license, the script doesn't care for your criminal convictions.

Now that /dnn and /vnn is gone, I would like to explore new ways of advertising. I would like to advertise using the note system that we have In-Game but it's a pain to have to manually make note after note with your mouse. So if it's possible... :DDDDDD It's 2019, can we please get printing & photocopying technology to Los Santos, please. In either form: A) Add a store, like a print centre where players can go and use the machines. B) Allow players to purchase and place in their home/property. For an object, you could use either: prop_printer_01 : 3470148293 prop_printer_02 : 4216036279 This could be good for various things, Russian Propaganda Police Tickets (some of us actually want to make a ticket on a note and give them a copy). Advertisements Weirdo Stuff like placing symbols on dead bodies. Gang Propaganda etc here's a Lidl concept image (no h8), but you get the deal. Could even advance into more stuff in the future like printing IDs whatnot, but I wanted to keep it simple and do notes for now.

I couldn't find if this has been suggested somewhere, but I would like to see the implementation of a menu that you can open beside/inside a car with options such as opening/closing individual doors of your car, the trunk, and the hood. For example, the mule, you can actually get into the back of the truck if you were able to open the trunk and that could be a nice touch for RP. PD would love being able to open doors for extra immersion, e.g. in felony stops we want to have "cover" and in the past, we were able to open the door we're standing beside by a key, but when we switched over to Rage we lost that ability.

Date and time (provide timezone): 18/FEB/2018, 17:26 CET Character name: Samuel Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: When we use /takestinger on stingers on the ground, it removes the stinger but sometimes leaves "invisible spike strips" on the ground that spikes any car that drives over it. When we use /takestinger on stingers on the ground, it removes the stinger but sometimes leaves the object on the ground. The object is not harmful, it's just there. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Place stingers on the ground and take them, eventually, it will replicate. In the video below, you can see me drive over the stingers on the ground and they are not harmful. However, the 2 lanes on the highway that has no object suffer from the "invisible stinger" syndrome, it spikes my tires even though there is no object there indicating spike strips. And I cannot pick anything up. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Great work by our Media Relations Division as always!

I do not support cheaper weapons (we have a gun problem, prices were increased for a reason) neither free housing, that's too much - wealth should be gained through playing, not paying - which is why credit vehicles can't be transferred. Sure, add a "Donator Building" but make players pay for the properties/houses like any other player. Let's not push it P2W. Edit: We are removing the advertisement system (Bleet), let's replace that with a new advertisement system instead. Create advertising boards around town where VIP / Donators can create advertisements that stays for x time, players would need to walk up to the boards and type a command to browse through them. Perhaps let Donators create 2, and VIP 1. If players want their advertisement broadcasted to the entire server they should go through weasel news. Edit 2: The perks of VIP / Donator is already good, and with the Eclipse economy, I do not support discounts of things that are already as cheap as hell. $500 to park your car for an unlimited time at the parking lot? That's like what, 1 bus route? You even get discounted tickets & jail time which IMO is stupid, but I've grown used to it and I accept it. Edit 3: Custom Phone Numbers, 1-time change with VIP. Could even become its own shop item as well. Gives no advantage over anyone else, and is more of a convenience thing. TL;DR - No pay 2 win features are supported by me, no more discounted prices (especially guns) and no free wealth (e.g. properties). Wealth should be gained through playing, not paying. Replace the bleet system with advertising boards/billboards, add a few around Los Santos/Sandy Shores and let VIPs & Donators walk up to these boards and create stationary advertisements that stay for x time. Players would need to walk up to these boards to read the advertisements. If players want to have their advertisements broadcasted to the entire server & on discord, they have Weazel News. Perhaps let Donators have 2 advertisements active and VIPs 1. Add the ability to set a custom phone number (1-time use) when you first become VIP or Donator. This could also become its own shop item.

Yes, that is the idea. If they want to kill their character, they now have an option for that - CK.

Hey Epic Gamers, Something has been bothering me for a while, the "New Life" system. I've been talking with others and I'm kinda bothered with how this system works. I personally feel like we need to change it, and make it so that when you die - you don't start a new life, instead, you get forced into an "RP Coma" and later released at the hospital, forgetting what happened to your character the past x hour(s). Pretty much keep it how it is, but don't keep it as "New Life". EDIT: This idea seems better. If you get injured and there's no one around to treat you - You get delivered to the hospital by NPC medical personnel and you'd RPly be critically injured. Perhaps to combat an endless cycle of retaliation e.g. gang vs gang, we could make it a rule to set OOC standards for better realism that your previous beef with a person is no more, and that you must engage in new role-play with them. It just doesn't make sense to me that you start a new life but still can return to your work, gang, and/or friends and be the same person. Instead of starting a new life every time you die, I'd much rather see the implementation of a voluntary CK system. Meaning that death cannot be forced on you unless e.g. you agree to force CK upon joining a gang whatnot. Normally, a CK in traditional sense means complete character kill, e.g. hardcore mode on certain games just wipes your character when you die and you need to create a new one, but I don't necessarily feel this is what we should do on here because there's a lot of real hours spent into your character and gaining wealth, and then it doesn't make much sense for all grown-up people to arrive at the airport at a new city with pocket change and not being able to afford anything. This should be the effects of a character kill in my own personal opinion: Your name should become disabled, it should not be possible to use this name in the future. Add it to a list of dead names. Your phone should be deleted, number - contacts, and everything. Your inventory should be wiped. Your houses/properties should be automatically sold and the market value given to you. You should be kicked out of your gang/faction and a cooldown of rejoining that specific gang/faction # should be 2 weeks, to allow you to build up your new character's story. All of your saved aliases should be wiped out, everyone should be a stranger to you again. You should be forced to change your name. This is how a CK should be done: To avoid the issue of players "accidentally" CKing themselves and then creating a hassle for the staff team in terms of reverting it, I would recommend that the player having to /report and ask for a Moderator+ to witness the CK RP and then using a command on the player which the player then have to accept, e.g. - /ck [Receiver] > Window pops up for the player explaining the information of a character kill and its effects. At the bottom of the window, there are two buttons, "Accept" "Decline" After the CK is accepted, the player is sent to the airport entrance and a new window pops up where they have to enter a new name. And at this point, all effects of the CK has been applied. Feel free to post feedback/your own suggestions.

Hello. Shadow Cartel recruited members on our platform (Eclipse Roleplay) and then got our members onto their discord, and later proceeded to server advertise another community on this same discord, can you not understand that this is wrong? If Shadow Cartel's discord's members came from outside of Eclipse and their discord was never advertised on our platform, it would've not been an issue, but in this case, Shadow Cartel got members from our community onto your discord and then proceeded to server advertise. Good riddance I say. Sayonara. - Osborn.

I voted no. First Person would be nice if it was less bugged, you can't walk and you can't look into rear/side mirrors of cars. I feel as if it's fine how it is. It's there already as an option for those who want to use it.

I voted yes. The extent of careless driving is too great, coming from all sides. I spent the last few days focusing on traffic enforcement and it's just a common thing, you pull one vehicle over and you'll have 5-6 vehicles drive past you during the traffic stop all doing 160+. Hopefully, speed cameras will deter this and support a more realistic traffic environment.

I voted after the new year. Merry Christmas everyone!

I support the option of being able to /togglerhud or something alike for those who don't want to display their frequency.

PD doesn't decide your jail time or fine, fines & time is automated based on the script which was made by the developers of the server, based on the penal code. City Hall is in the process of being made right now, on top of other things. A full out criminal justice system isn't being made right now simply because we lack people with experience in that field, it'd require a team of dedicated people with good law knowledge. I'm sure that @BallinByNaturewould love to talk to people that are interested in starting something up, just make sure that you have a plan for it.
