UPDATE 0.7.59!

When we started Lawless Roleplay, we pledged to cultivate a community that was built on a solid foundation. This foundation included a staff team that worked for the community and the members. We have committed ourselves to a very clear message that we are a community made by players for players. This message has resonated throughout SA-MP and we have been able to set the gold standard. Today, we further that commitment by meticulously constructing a staff team that works for the players and supports the players to enjoy a smooth and fun pack experience. This compiled with major development advancements allows us to maintain our establishment as the best gaming community. Period.

I would like everyone to read the following paragraphs about what our blueprint and formula to Lawless Roleplay is.

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 0.7.59 Overview

Massive code overhaul

In our last update, we rewrote over 40, 000 lines of code to be more efficient and faster using modern and advancing programming techniques. We continue that desire for excellence in this update by rewriting over 30, 000 lines of code. We have updated many systems to be more logical, efficient, fast and most importantly bug free.

These extremely lengthy updates may not contain many features but it allows easy implementation of new features in the future.

New administrative structure
update_adminupdate.png
Just like every member of the community, every staff member is also a player imbedded within the community. We understand and felt the failing standard within the staff team to serve players better and to ensure players had a fun experience whilst playing at Lawless Roleplay. As a result, we completely rewrote the admin system including ranks, commands, functions and operational standards.

We have introduced three new administrative ranks as a small aid to help staff serve players better. These ranks are:
  • Blacklist Members
  • Moderators
  • Assistant Server Management
Blacklist members
The biggest outroar within the community is the endless battle with deathmatchers. As a response, we are happy to introduce the blacklist team. This team is constructed of secret players implanted within the community to help battle random deathmatch that commonly occurs. These members have the commands and tools to help them find and punish deathmatchers whilst still maintaining cover as a normal player. We believe this approach will help us win the battle against the increasing amounts of deathmatchers.

Moderators
We have always felt that the jump from Senior Helper or any other player ran department to Junior Admin was a big jump. The moderator team builds on senior helpers by granting them special commands and functions that allow them to teleport players to LSPD, fix virtual worlds or interiors as well as normal help requests. Moderators also have an administrative duty in which they aim to ban destructive hackers (Teleporters, wrappers etc).

Assistant Server Management
The jump between Head Admin to Server Management was also a very big gap. We aim that this rank will allow administrators to flourish within the team and to allow us to provide more active high levelled administrators.
