MONTHLY NEWSLETTER – HAPPY NEW YEARMonth: January / 2026
Edition: 2
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a nice and safe time with families! The first actual newsletter of 2026 is here. The biggest change you will notice is the fact that we are going to use the forum for this. Discord really did not like lots of text and the forum is just much easier to work with. But i will provide the @ everyone on discord and a link so you can have a read here! We have only had a couple staff meetings and a dev meeting into the new year so it is a bit short. For now (That's what she said).
Groups and gangs! Listen!
We have quite a few events coming from several different groups and this usually does end up providing both fun and good roleplay for players taking part.. Our capabilities to make these even more unique increases all the time with both toys and knowledge, and i urge everyone that does have a unique idea with their criminal group or even more of the legal ones to come forward with it. We can help setup these with both unique rewards to winners/participants and maybe something for the group/individual that plans it. Make a ticket and we'll look into it!
STAFF RECAP – MONTH IN REVIEWConcerns, Improvements & Observations
• Rulebreak Overview:
As with most days its dealing with the occasional skiddie that is trawling around the server list to cause havoc. Sometimes they do a bit more, sometimes they kill themself in the process giving us a right giggle.
For the more general stuff it is actually combat logging and the famous transferring between characters that sticks out over the new years. Soh, don't do that!
Dealing with cheaters is also on the priority list and is ongoing and the staff team have already done some really good work on this.
Staff applications have now been reviewed and messages have gone out to people for interviews! Best of luck to these!
But as always, focus on high quality roleplay. Giving a little can give a lot as enjoyment for everyone involved the roleplay.
• Positive Progress:
In the help channels we are seeing continued efforts by players helping players and we really appreciate this. This also goes for the OOC chat in-game! <3
• Notable Meeting Points:
No recent rule changes but the rules suggestion thread on discord will be reviewed before the next Newsletter!
A bigger point was the to set in stone communication regarding gangs/groups and the onboarding from a normal one to a whitelist one. More on this below!

#RoleplayEverything
• Featured Player:
Firefighter, Aaron Sinclair
From what we have seen, both in and out of RP, he's a genuinely decent guy who’s always happy to go along with RP and keep things moving. He’s got a silly side that makes people laugh without taking things too far, which is always a good vibe. He's also put a ton of time into the firefighter role and is easily one of the most active people in the faction. Overall, he's reliable, dedicated, and just a solid, positive presence to have around for the firefighters and the community. You might also find him doing some of these videos and livestreams! That is a great place to see the shenanigans he gets up to!

COMMUNITY QUESTION OF THE MONTHSo, we didn't really get a question over the month in the (link below) but i would like to answer something that have been asked.
Gangs/groups, from normal to whitelisted.. how?
For some time getting gangs onboard was a bit of a whim. This sadly meant that very decent gangs in the past might have slowly gone away cause we simply were not on point with keeping track with it.
Realizing this after a little purge of gangs early in 25 it was about time to set the stage for others to take this step up.
Multiple ideas become one and stage/phase system keeps people interested.
- A Home / Recognition
- Some perks like parking
- Full on whitelist with the perks that reflects the gang/group. (Find out in RP)
- Follow up like clothing etc.
Now how do you and your group get to this stage. Well, its in the name, Roleplay. Get noticed with high quality roleplay, this will bring you up as a discussion point and we then start mapping out to later decide on. This is a combined effort not only by player feedback but also the staff and development team. And yes, hostile RP can be good roleplay. Just because you come out of a situation injured/dead does not mean the RP leading up to it was bad. It could have happened for the right reasons and with good roleplay.
And the set phases above does not have to be to your group, depending of features and implementations in the future we can tailor and switch things up. I might have waffled here, so if you have any questions, reach out.
This takes you to the forum question and you can ask the question that is on your mind!
