UPDATE 0.9.05!
Jingle bells.. jingle bells.. Oh wait, it's over. Now that the Christmas festivities is finally over, it's time for our annual winter update with awesome events, minigames and idlewood street parties. This update sees many bug fixes, a bucket of snow, winter events, a special gift store and the addition of a new minigame. This winter will be a special one at Lawless Roleplay. But first, let's have our traditional mission statement speech.
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 0.9.05 Overview
Winter Events
You can take part of the winter events by clicking here.
And that's not the end of events, we will be having some awesome events such as:
- Double EXP Weekends on 26 - 27 Dec, 2 - 3 Jan and 9 - 10 Jan 2016
- 12 Days of Christmas on 26 Dec 2015 till 6 Jan 2016
- New Year Site Update
From the moment you join the server, you'll notice that we're really in the festive spirit at Lawless with Christmas songs playing whilst you log in. There will be continuous snowing all over Los Santos however this detects your FPS and tackles any lag problems pre-hand. So if you don't see snow falling from the skies, this will be due to your FPS and the script making sure you don't lag. Additionally, our wonderful mapping department has worked together to really produce a very festive map customisation all over Los Santos. You'll find Christmas trees scattered around popular hang outs all over Los Santos. And as a very special addition, the Mayor of Los Santos has funded extra Christmas lights all over popular Los Santos places.
Santa has had a crash!
