News Lawless Roleplay - help us stay alive!

Lawless Roleplay has always been a server against the odds. When we first opened our doors in 2013, everyone expected us to fail. However, we hit over 100 players and despite the numerous attacks which kept us offline for a few days, players kept on coming - they couldn't get enough. Fast forward today, Lawless Roleplay has been open for 6 years and for the past 2 years people have been claiming that Lawless Roleplay is dying, closing and failing. Yet we remain online with a striving and active player base.

I am personally going through a very rough time in real life for the past 2 years however the support and love I received from the community made me realise despite all the harsh words and arguments - you guys are a bunch of good people. I want to provide you with a safe, stable and fun community where you can unwind and enjoy your time at Lawless Roleplay.

Since the start of 2019, we closed the donation store which meant that I had to personally pay $400 a month to keep the server online. In the past few months, this has been a real struggle for me. With all the reasons above combined, I have been very demotivated to spend any time on the community and with the risk of closing down last month, I got to see so many community members step up and offer their help in keeping the server online. This melted my heart to see people who were willing to really step up to keep the server online so they and their friends can continue having fun.

As a result, I have opened the new donation store up and offering a 30% discount on all items until Sunday 25 August 2019 using coupon code "LONGLIVELRP".

Your donations are guaranteed, if we do not meet our monthly quota ($400) and are unable to pay the monthly fees, the server will be closed and you will be refunded 100% of your donation automatically. However, I believe the community won't let that happen.

If this is proven successful and the community can hold the burden of paying server bills then I will be more inclined to update the server more frequently with new features, bug fixes and adjustments.

Thank you,
Barney Phife

i dont see how a dead games server host would cost 400 dollars a month and even then if you wanted people to donate ud need over a 150 players daily with active gangs and better perks for the donator. considering 80 percent of the server is pinoys who have just enough money to pay for netcafe time i dont see the playerbase able to donate more than 400 dollars a month.

you need to offer us something new, people atleast donated for lands and businesses but ls is now full of businesses and lands so whats there to donate for now? donate so the server stays alive if not we face the risk of being closed? Sounds like we are forced to donate or we cant play lol... when theres another rival server where ur actually allowed to buy cash and other items directly from players lol and where ur not being threatened by the server owner to donate or server closing ha

My mortgage repayments are $697 per month AUD, which is around $450 USD.

A SAMP server costs as much as my mortgage repayments for a house in regional Melbourne.

I want to believe.

The problem starts from when your policymakers fail to defend the legit player and all the Perma leader banned are the main admins in your server now how can people start donating in a community where a mafia exist, Do you remember the time when Pako Lopez got the charge he was doing wonders player base was like 150 and we have legit players and all the admins now days who use to do power gaming was banned that time actually Pako was really smart and well aware of these people actually these people love to power abuse and hack in a smart way and this is lawless is all about this now, well I'm just letting you know as you're out here for us today, if the server did not get close and the people who donated for it would love to see the change then I guess if you care for them you have to make big changes get good policymakers that's what is required and get rid of mafia inside your admin team..

I think barney want to work for lawless roleplay and wanted to get paid for it.
He doesn't really work for free which is a smart idea and a stable idea for his family.
You people need to also understand he got a life which need money to survive
