Economic Reset & Progression Overhaul

[Brophy]

Over the past few years, we’ve watched hyper-inflation and unbalanced job payouts degrade the core progression feel of the server. To fix the root of the problem and revitalise gameplay, we are looking at implementing a complete economic reset and overhaul while the player count is low.

The core philosophy is simple: by fixing the economy first, we can introduce better activities and jobs that make progression feel genuinely rewarding again.

Centralised Rebalancing & New Additions

• Job Payouts & Economy: All job payouts and economic multipliers are being moved into a central configuration location, allowing for rapid tweaking and balancing based on ongoing feedback.

• In-Game Store: Introducing timed login rewards. Staying active for a set amount of time will earn you points to spend on cosmetic items, skins, and non-P2W rewards.

• Donations & Cash: The cash element is being removed entirely from donation packages to prevent real-world purchases from destabilising the economy.

What the Reset Entails

1. Player Wipe: All player cash and bank balances will be wiped.

2. Property Reset: All properties will be reset and put back up for sale, with purchasing values re-worked to fit the new economic scaling.

3. Weapons & Vehicles Wipe: All weapons and vehicles stored across players will also be wiped to prevent post-reset stockpiles from instantly destabilising the new economy.

4. Donation Points: Players will keep their current donation points.

5. Gangs & Squads: Gangs and squads will remain in place, but all organisation and gang money will be wiped.

6. Legacy Rewards (Tiers for Top Players): To honour past wealth and achievements before the reset, we are introducing exclusive legacy rewards split into tiers:

   • Top 10: Elite-tier custom rewards/recognition.

   • Top 25: Veteran-tier exclusive perks.

   • Top 50: Honoured-tier commemorative items. (We want your community opinions and suggestions on what these specific tiered rewards should be!)

7. Stats Wipe (Discord Vote): We are opening up a public vote on Discord to decide whether player stats should also be wiped as part of the clean slate. Make sure to cast your vote!

Upcoming Testing Phase

We know an economic reset is a massive change, and we want to ensure everything is dialled in. We will not push this live without a testing phase.

Before going live, we will spin up a dedicated test server. This will give everyone the chance to test the new economy, check adjusted job payouts, stress-test progression, and report bugs or feedback prior to the official launch.

Next Steps & Feedback

Cast your vote on the stats wipe poll, share your ideas and suggestions for the top player legacy reward tiers, and drop your overall thoughts on the Discord channel and here on the forum.

When I made this suggestion back then, you all opposed me. If you want it so badly, you can just give away the money in your own bank, as someone 'so wisely' said. 🙂 @fl0wz
