The third year of the storm

When we opened Lawless Roleplay 3 years ago, we sailed the storm to create a community that was built on a solid foundation. The foundation consisted of a staff team that worked for the players to constitute a community made by the players, for the players. This foundation has resonated throughout SA-MP and we have set the gold standard.

Exactly 1,093 days ago - on the 19th April 2013 - myself, @Shock and @Leiionidas opened the gates to the server. We set out a mission statement and promised to always abide by it. We were congratulated by having over 150 players online in our first 24 hours which was contaminated with technical issues until the 22nd April 2013. This past year, we've had numerous server updates, a new admin structure, new admin departments, welcomed @Toompert into the management team, tons of events, a christmas to remember, moved from lag shooting to sync shooting and we've responded to all suggestions and bugs in a timely manner. As we go into our 3rd year of operating, we have decided with the community to dedicate this year to creating fantastic new unique features, new toolboxes for players to use to create more fun gameplay, better support, an administrative team that is always there, a better service and most importantly more fun. This is a big promise however we are dedicated to accomplish this and require your trust and guidance.

It has been a marvelous 3 years filled with emotions, fun, excitement and addiction. We have witnessed enemies fight a lot, new friendships, gangs be formed, leaders be born, rules be broken, hackers be banned, materials be ran, trucks be delivered, miners mine, drugs be smuggled, shotguns be refunded, people tazed, turfs be won, events be lost, factions go up and factions go down. We have laughed, smiled, yelled, hated, loved and fought but above all we did what we came to do: We had fun, and the fun is only starting.

We have over 2,752,518 logins, 3,543,365 connections, 232,270 registrations, 23,567 hours of uptime, 22,675 hackers auto banned, 65,579 forum threads, 467,508 forum posts and 13,830 forum accounts at time of this post.

Thank you. You have supported us over the year above and beyond what I could imagine or want - we really appreciate it. Without your consistent feedback, guidance and loyalty - we would not be where we are today. You've always been here for us and we continue to enjoy and extend our relationship with you and hopefully create many more in this upcoming year.

So, here's to you Lawless Roleplay.... Happy Birthday!

Our mission statement to you...
Lawless Roleplay is, and always, will be a community first and a game server second. We are dedicated to fostering an environment with a member-centric approach where all players have equal potential for in game success and community recognition.

Why play here?
Lawless Roleplay was originally founded on the principle that all players should rise or decline based on the actions of the person behind the player. We feel that success should be determined by a players actions and talents and not the whim of an administrative team. We have great code. We have great staff. We have great players. But most importantly we have a vigilant regard for your potential.

Is this a roleplay server?
We have worked to provide many in game tools for roleplay and it is absolutely encouraged however not required. We feel that any preferred mode of play that does not encroach on any other player’s enjoyment of the game is productive. Due to the harsh nature of game mode frequent player versus player violent interaction should be expected. However, this does not mean that players are allowed to kill other players for no reason.

Update v1.0.19 Overview

massrecode.png
When you have a code as complex as ours with over 110,500 lines, there are many functions, levers and gears. And at any of these points, an issue can arise and disrupt a player's gameplay. We have laid the code flat and have reviewed engagement tunnels for potential issues. More importantly, we have adapted our code and genetics to use modern efficient systems which require less CPU, faster processing and less memory.

Check the list below to see what we've done to improve your experience!

globalpardon.jpg
Our last global pardon was done on the 1st January 2015. As we move into our third year of operations, it is time to welcome back our lost friends and foes to the server. However, we have been receiving feedback regarding this choice. Some feel that those excluded from the community should not be welcomed back. We have reviewed this feedback and came to the conclusion that, while we respect your opinion on building a stable foundation, we must all be reminded that we are playing a video game. We encourage fun and want everyone to have chances at being good citizens of Lawless Roleplay. We need to give people second chances and in the end of the day, we are all human and make mistakes. As a precaution, we have deleted all accounts which have been not used since 1st Jan 2015 (407 accounts) and all banned accounts not used since 4th April 2015 (6,708).

As of this update, we have wiped all bans from the server. They do not need to appeal. They just need to log in! Tell your friends and foes!! Let's have some more fun together...

doublexp.jpg
It's been a fantastic year for us so let us repay your hard work and committment with DOUBLE XP weekend. Let us welcome back our old friends and foes and give them a boost back into the wild life.

Double XP will be running from FRIDAY MIDNIGHT GMT+1 to SUNDAY MIDNIGHT GMT+1.

Be sure to check out our other events such as this one and this one.
