I must ask, do plebs like me need to do any specific thing to register to the server?

Jamie I've been moderator for so long can you please make my smartphone in game be pink

Or purple if you want it to wear the corporate colours
I don't think the phone itself can be changed but I believe different/custom phone wallpapers are on the to do list

A question I don't think has been asked yet: what time will the server open? I assume the traditional 6pm britbong time but I wanna double check so I can literally plan my life around it

It'll more than likely be around 6-8pm BST. There'll be a post/announcement soon containing all the information needed for players before launch

Probably a clown question, but just because I don't think it's in my list of asked questions, what, if any, are the intended benefits of premium for GTA? I doubt it'd be be something like more money ala LP or storage ala hl2rp, etc but I am curious. I imagine it could be something like queue priority for getting into the server if it's full or something, but I'm just wondering if there's any plans.

i may be completely misremembering a convo with @alex that i had, but i think the gist is there wont be
like, no premium option

iirc FiveM takes fairly exorbitant cuts of any money and has Arma-tier stipulations on what you can and cannot monetize within the server.

at most, probably a direct pay-for-fastpass on applications, but you wouldn't be a "premium user," you'd have just paid a one-time fee to move to the priority queue, essentially

We're not going to be monetizing with Premium and but we will explore our options in the future.

idk if this has been answered or not but will the server show who you're roleplaying with on a leaderboard or some shit like how HL2rp was before the change, or will it be hidden and you can only find out through ooc means

Good to know.

This does make me wonder, as I have seen on NoPixel instances where people have been able to pull up a list of steam ID's which when brought up shows a number above people's heads, as to facilitate stuff like transferring money. I only watch like three people so I've just assumed this is stuff that regular players can do, so if this is wrong, forgive me, but if we're not having something like this, how will you be able to get someone's state ID (as that is what I assume the number is above their heads)

There will be a button to display a player id for the purpose of player reports however it's of no use for any gameplay, it didn't make sense to us that people use this "meta" number for giving money or pinging location so we chose to use the player picker for giving money and phone numbers instead.

Oh, that's good to know, but what is the player picker? It sounds a lot like a scoreboard with no context, unless I'm being dense and it's been shown off before and I'm forgetting?
