This morning and the early hours of this afternoon we have been very busy making large changes and fixes to the game. We had a unusual problem with our server which had to be fixed to allow us to continue to develop in the way that we do now, which has been successfully rectified.
New Features / Important Changes
Today what you have always known as your plot has changed to become known as your Turf. Each city now consists of small districts (the squares). Each district contains your individually located player turfs and crew turfs. For your crew to become the don of a city you will need to gain control of as many districts as you possibly can. However you must remember that it will no longer be possible for someone to drop your domination in a district unless there turf is located there (thus preventing rich crews from buying over and dropping pieces of rival crews land). You can now only become the boss of a district if your turf is located there but still in the same or similar way as before, by bribing the police. You cannot as of yet move your turf to another city or district however this will become available later today.
You will all also see massive changes to the way your turf (old plot) works, with a new completely different interface and interaction level. Buildings can now be upgraded in levels to bring in different revenue and resource streams. Each building plays a different role in the game and has its unique worth. There are several new buildings available to build and there will be several more released over the coming weeks so stay tuned for that. To prevent players from building their turf up and never coming back but still reaping the benefits, your buildings require maintainence once every 48 hours.
Your pad now has a limitless hiding time on it, ie you can prevent yourself from being mugged when you log off by entering it free of charge and for as long as you want.
Crew Headquarters
Crew boss’s will no longer be able to manage there crew buildings from there own personal plot. Instead now the boss will need to visit the “Crew Headquarters” link under his “Crew” menu heading in the left hand menu. This will become the new home of managing all of your crew assets. We also have dismantled any crew weed plantations all money for these has been returned to the players cash.
New Bulk Payment Amount
We also added a bulk payment amount of £47.50 today, this will get you 500 street credits. Which gives you a nice little discount if you wish to buy lots of credits. Also look out for a new payment option later today which will allow sms payments from america (we know some of you have been waiting for this).
