You can access the FAQ here:


[+] outdated




Figured to make the in-game /faq command on the forum so it will be easier for people to find answers to their questions (CTRL + F and overall easier to scroll here).

I updated most of the questions & answers and deleted duplicated ones, feel free to comment if you have any edits for additional & existing questions.


(1) Where can I find the server rules?
Spoiler
Every player must read and understand the server rules.
The rules can be found on the forums at forum.sa-mp.im under the 'Rules' banner.

Remember to take screenshots and describe the situation as detailed as possible!

Roleplaying basically is basically acting. As a player of a roleplaying server, you need to act as if you were the character in real life.
This is not difficult at all as you all live normal lives, just take what you do in your normal life and alter it to your character's lifestyle. For example: if your character is named John_Doe, you roleplay as John_Doe.
Everything John_Doe does is in character.
(21) What is IC?
Spoiler
IC is an abbreviation for "In Character" which means all the things you do as your character.
Because we're in a roleplaying environment, think of your character as an alive person. Only do/say/act the way you would in real life IC because its the whole point of making any Role-Play environment more fun.
For Example; Saying things in character would be like:
"Excuse me, do you know where i could find a place to rent cars?"

(96) How do I get drugs?

You can buy drugs from other players or produce them at a drug lab.

Do not ask helpers/administrators where the drug labs are.

Even though the thief job looks like it's bugged underground, it's not! You will have to go through a tunnel in order to gain access to it.
(99) How does the Referral System work?
Spoiler
If you referred a player and he reaches level 2, both of you will be rewarded with $200k ingame cash. The new player you referred to the server will also be rewarded with a free car, a Sentinel.
If you referred a player and he reaches level 5, both of you will be rewarded with $1m ingame cash.

How does this work?
This is entirely automated, no need to nag admins about it and no long waiting times.
You can tell the player you invite to enter your ingame name as Referrer or simply give them a custom link you can see here.

There is also a new category added in the Top 15 stats which shows the players that have referred the most players.

I'm sorry :(
But that shows that people were probably not aware of it, so this could still prove useful.
