Vice Roleplay Moves to RAGE MP

When we started this project, our ambition was to launch on the upcoming Underground Multiplayer (UG:MP) mod which made Vice City readily available and accessible to all of its servers with many fixes to the map. San Andreas Multiplayer (SA:MP) was our "plan B" in case UG:MP failed to launch. Today, SA:MP is seeing a rapid reduction in its number of players and it is hard to believe that Vice Roleplay would be able to launch with a stable player base on either UG:MP or SA:MP. As such, management recently came together to discuss moving the project to RAGE MP on GTA 5. As you'll have figured already from the topic title, there was a majority strong agreement with this and as such we will be moving our focus to RAGE MP.

After spending several days play testing different maps, we finally settled on a modernized ported Vice City map which still accurately resembles the original Vice City map with numerous fixes and updates to make the map feel better fitting to the GTA 5 setting — with many texture and model improvements as well as the replacement of vegetation with GTA 5 grass and trees. If you're on our Discord server, you'll have seen some screenshots of the map posted in our #previews channel.

We'll now be spending the upcoming days setting up a basic foundation for the server and then we'll be working on things from there. We will be sure to post frequent updates and previews on the Discord to keep you up to date on our progress. In the mean time, we are still actively seeking volunteers for game development or 3D modeling. If you're interested in helping with our project, even if your knowledge is only basic, please give the linked topic a read and reach out to myself or Borktex.

Become a Project Visionary
We're looking for experienced, motivated and creative individuals to become a Project Visionary! Project Visionaries actively feed their unique and creative system ideas to the development team and discuss any current script or rule implementations on the server. You will be granted access to special areas on the forum and Discord to discuss your suggestions and thoughts. Those in a Project Visionary role nearer to launch will stand a greater chance of receiving early access to our game server to help with testing.

If you'd like to help contribute to the server actively with your ideas and suggestions, please message me on Discord (Theory#4466). The role comes with no dedicated responsibilities or commitments; it's simply there so that we can have a well-organizaed medium to discuss unique ideas for those who are serious about really helping the server.
