*You are now on a watch list*

I love to roleplay, did a lot of RP on Asylum, Miscreated and currently SC. I can't wait for Identity's first module, I'm excited to see what greatness the developers have come up with this time. If you're looking for a buddy, hit me up. I'm all around friendly, although I do enjoy PvP as well. . . It's hard to say what side of the law I may end up on.

Just asking on @BoothyS behalf, can you upgrade your package? Eg, I buy the 15$ one and I want the one above, do I pay another $15 and I get the $30 one or do I have to pay another $30?

Citizen package don't access to beta, only full game mate. Founder gets the beta and the module access. Modules are not free, they come with beta too.

Hey Guys, I thought I would share with you a little guide I designed a few years ago for businesses in Arma 3 Life. It's a simple business model that worked pretty well. It's more or less an algorithm for any business you choose to make. It allows for your employees to be paid, and will minimize them breaking off for sole profit. It is purposely written so that anyone can understand. --------------- Business Model System This is the business model system for maximum efficiency for any business. This model uses a percentage based pay and is designed to be easily modified and easily implemented. Here is the Key for the following guide: A- Overhead (This is the money you need to cover your expenses) B- Profit (This is the money you make after your initial investment has been covered) C- Employee Payroll (This is the money for you to pay your employees) D- Investors Payroll (This is the money to pay your investors) ----------------- Generally speaking you need to arrange all of your investors payroll and your employee payroll to only come from your profits. It is important to remember what your total investment is, your profit, and your payroll. Be sure that you keep an eye on your finances. This is an example of the business model: Your total Overhead (A) is $1000 You have one investor, who has invested $1000 into your business in exchange for 5% of your profit (B). This places a $20,000 valuation on your company. You have one employee plus yourself. Your employees and investors make 5% of your profits. From 100% of your profit (B), you now owe 10%, which leaves you with 90% of your profit. Your profit is $5000. This means that $250 goes to your investor, $250 goes to your employees. 90% of your profit or $4500 is now left over. You invest $2000 into your Overhead this time. You have the same amount of investors. Your company's valuation is still only $20,000. You have gained another employee plus yourself. You have banked $2500. If your profit from a $1000 investment was $5000, this means you made $6000 from the total investment. In turn you expect to make double because of your investment of $2000. This puts you at a $10,000 profit. 5% of $10,000 is $500. You pay your employees $500 and your investor $500. This leaves you with a total of $9000 profit. This algorithm is a progressive system. You do not have to pay any specific percentage, I was simply explaining the math with the easy percentages. ---------------- Q: Why would someone work for me, if they could make the same amount as me? A: Your employee pays no overhead, he uses your equipment, he uses your services, he uses your resources. He has no risk involved. If he is robbed, it is not his money he is losing. (Or She). Also, your employee will scale with more employees and more profit. Whereas if he were to do it all on his own, he would make the same singular profit without the ability to scale, unless he were to create his own company. (Or She). Not to mention, you could promote the employee to making more of a percentage. Q: Why not split the profits evenly? A: You can do that! Except you do need to take out your next expenses before dividing up the profit. Always cover your next venture. Q: Why bank the money? A: The reason for banking your money is insurance. If you are robbed, or an expensive piece of equipment is lost, stolen, or broken, you need to be able to cover those expenses. You pay yourself, the same amount as you pay your employees. You bank the remainder for upgrades and incidentals. Q: Is this the only system that works? A: Heavens no. There are many different systems that work, this is just an easy one to start with until you get your feet wet. ----------------------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to this guide (Business Model) please reply and leave a comment.

Well I haven't really seen this type of post anywhere even when I look it up. I was rewatching one of the Trailers for Identity and heard him talk about them implementing a system that resembles a skill tree. And it would be used for each job that you did, either criminal or abiding by the law. Well this got me thinking about music because I plan on making a band in game. There could be a system in place for guitarist's, drummers, bassists and singers. Guitarist: (Let's say there are ten perks for each instrument) 1- Welcome to the Crossroads, your soul is now destined to be a guitarist. 2- Figured out how to add effects to your studio and live performances 3- You can now play cover songs with ease 4- You unlocked tapping 5- You can now make 5% extra cash from live performances 6- You earned a record deal 7- Party on, drugs now have a longer effect on you 8- You can now customize your guitars looks and equipment 9- Guitar Hero, you can now save your music by memorizing, no more mess ups for you 10- You've reached your peak, you can now perform solo or keep playing as a band And it would be something similar to those but for Singers, Drummers and Bassist. It would be awesome if we could customize the shape of our guitar to look like an Ibanez, Strat, Gibson, Goodrich and more. Replace our pickups, tuners, tremolo bar, strings, pickgaurd, fret inlays, knobs, switches, headstocks and more. We could have different pedals for different sounding music Distortion Reverb Tremolo Phaser Sweep Echo And even more if we'd like. We could sign up at bars and just hangout for a few hours playing songs. And if we got good and enough people wanted we could have our music played on player owned radio stations and even have a few of our songs in the Karaoke Bar. Thats about all I got for now, thanks for reading guys.

Hey there everyone! As like many of you, I am still avidly awaiting the module release of the town and I've just decided to make this short post in my wait time My plan for the game Well to being I think the most interesting place to start is what I'm gonna do in Identity, to being I'm going to start up my own business (which seems to be a popular choice, so there will be a lot of competition which will add more realism) I still haven't decided as to what I'm going to make a business in, the ones that first come to mind is clothes and cars (but I'm not sure if I need to post on a different part of the forums to say that I'm making a business, if I do please let me know). My character We really haven't seen any clothes from any of the trailers that have been given pictures (that I know of) so I could just play could of a genre type, I would wear a hoodie, random trivia a hoodie is my favorite clothing item in game and real life. Another one that I would like to think about going for is a steampunk look or something along those lines. And most importantly my game name is Skarecrow (I know it's spelled with a 'c' usually, however I really like it with a k for no other reason than I just like it. Closing words Thanks for reading my little 'hello' to the forums, I really haven't got anything to close with apart from saying thanks, so I'll leave it at this and I can't wait for the first module to come out

Hello everyone from Identity. I plan on being a driver, hopefully in the industrial shipping area. I'd appreciate it if you could point me towards topics of interest in our community so I can get acquainted with our groups/gangs/businesses/political agendas. I look forward to playing with you soon.

I think it would be very cool to have a room where you could store your money either in a safe or scattered across the floor just a suggestion. a bit like GTA V horrible comparisons but that`s all i could compare it to.

Sorry, I don't buy this. I could equally think that the Identity devs, after having done Altis Life mod, said "Hey, you know we could make actual money from this?", and so they started Identity. Now, I'm NOT saying the Identity devs just want to make money or that they don't have passion. That would be unfair. As it is thinking that way about Everywhere. I don't know if they put any passion in making GTA, but they made a damn great thing of it. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with aiming to make money. Want to make lots of money? Then create an awesome game. Everyone happy. So you first say that they are not Rockstar, but then you assume this will be a P2W because "that's what they have been creating". This doesn't sound fair to me either. Moreover, we should give some thought about to what extent the gifts we backers are getting are purely cosmetic... I'm an Identity backer and want it to become the game I want to play, as much as you do, but I don't see why this means we should be against Everywhere. Besides, most of what I read here against Everywhere doesn't have very strong foundations.

are we waiting on more users to donate or whats going on with the town lol its been on 76 for a while now just wondering would like some insight

1. when truckers are delivering stuff are you allowed to rob then and take what you want if they are deliverying goods you want? 2. will street lights, stop signs, speed limit, real driver rules be required? such as stopping at lights/signs, putting on signals, ect.. 3. will it be possable for a buddy an your self to rob a police officer and take there weapons if you can get away with it? 4. will lambo's, ferrari's, porsche's, ect high class vehicles be available? 5. for price, will it depend on the model you choose or will there only be one model for each vehicle? 6. can pretty much anything be used as a weapon if it would hurt or kill somebody in real life? such as like.. a rock, siccors, or even a towel to smuther?

to be honest we cant give you an honest answer bro

Damn fine job. Tough SOB who knows a thing or two about tech and has the drive to accomplish his goals. Looks like you'll be the assertive do-it-yourself individual.

Sounds like I'm going to have to throw another 15$ in the pot to get founder, can't be missing out on the Beta/Modules!

You guys aren't in the Neighborhood anymore right?....

Well I just read everything you guys wrote and this is what i'm able to create so far: Ray Wick is a young immigrant from a country destroyed by war. He had a bright future in the tech industry, but soon everything slipped away from him. So he moved to a new country far away from where he was born, so he could start over again. But fearing that what destroyed his old home would destroy his new one, he decided to join a private military organisation to defend his clients, his friends, his home. His goal is to get enough money to jump start his company in the tech industry. Still needs some work but thanks to you guys i got something at least.

Well 2 reasons really: 1. I am putting it out there for OP to read, as he asked about building your character and 2. I misread your first post

For most people, their job is a very important aspect of their character. How you make money (what you spend most of your time doing) is maybe the most important aspect of your character.

Conner Smith moved out from his little town in the mountains and now leads a simple life driving commercially for Rezix Inc. He makes enough to pay his bills and splurge every now and again with a nice, fancy dinner. Conner's an honest man making an honest living, it's hard for him to accept that he now lives in the big city, surrounded with liars, criminals, and thieves. He knows his life is not worth his wallet or car. Conner is a friendly guy though, who hopes to connect with whatever neighbors he finds himself around. Think of it like your writing a story and this is your main character. Also this is where everyone posts jobs. Welcome to Identity and RP.

i did pay for it that's why i was looking to see what was going on thanks mate

Thanks for asking Jackabm. Yes you can upgrade your package with no additional cost at any time. Buying Citizen will take $15 off of Founder or any other tier. I'm a Citizen and plan on upgrading to founder if the modules are decent, then from Founder to Motorist if I really like the game. All for no extra charge.

The modules are only available for people that pay for the $30 pack or above in the Identity store.

I think mass shootings/murders should be allowed and uncontrolled, however there should be consequences if you kill too many people and get caught. Life in prison or the gas chamber for example - Then the player will have to start over with a new character. However anything purchased with real money stays with the account. That's just my two cents.

Nice to meet you saint! Welcome to the community where everyone loves Identity!

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome and useful advice, it's great to see this is going to be an amazing community

The town square module is coming VERY soon. Not long after that, the swat module will be released. These modules will be open until the full release of the game.

Don't worry it's not just you. We haven't been updated in a while so they either had a major break through or have run into a problem. We're hoping that the first one comes out in a few months.

The scary part is if the game everywhere made a really good ambitious video about their game , i think some of identity community will leave identity and go support the everywhere game because of a good video about the game. we know there are some people here in the forums are sick of waiting for a video or a progress viewing and they might leave.

This should be a warning to the devs to at least give us something tangible soon before other games like everywhere take up all the attention(not saying this to be an ass its just a fact)

I think it would be awesome to travel the roads in a big semi truck, hauling product from distribution centers to the main store that people buy merchandise from. Furniture, home decor, food ex. You name it.

Why do I always see the "crazy" ideas lol. Shouldn't they just stick to GTA?

Hey Kracken! Welcome to the Identity community! People like yourself with experience in law enforcement will be a healthy benefit to the police career in this game. We hope we'll receive your approval by hopefully doing a good job representing law enforcement in Identity!

i would see volvo s70

To put the topics you can read in this section a bit in context, I'd say there is some mixture of initiatives based on what we know and some of them including a bit of hype on top of it, so the end result may or may not be 100% what you can actually expect in the final game. Let's not forget that, so far, we know that there will be lots of possible activities the player can take, jobs and careers, and some of them have been more defined than others. There are business the player can own, such as stores, but some others the players cannot own, such as night clubs. Even if you own a shop, there is probably an NPC taking care of it, since you are not expected to sit in your shop all day waiting for people to come in. Other kind of activities allow us to begin establishing our business, such as lawyers, truck drivers, furniture manufacturers... the details how each of these businesses will work is not yet so clear. Finally there is also the emergent gameplay. Guns will be rare, but maybe a dedicated gang can try and get them and organize their group, then offer their services in a wide variety of ways. Those may not be a business in game 'per se', but nothing stops you from actually making it work. That said, you don't need to announce your business here and, depending on what business you are thinking of, you certainly could open one similar to another and compete. I have only seen that servers will have a cap in the number of government players and cops, but saw nothing about businesses cap.

If we can live off the land why not be a farmer? You can grow your own food. Sell it for a profit, expand land, maybe animals? Get a nice fancy tractor to drive around and a straw hat and overalls! Could be exciting to see all you could do with farming.

I'm not interested in a job but I might invest in you.

Im looking forward working with you boss. Please I'm also open to any doubt and questions you have about the company. To all the people reading this; let Aurum grow with you. Aurum VP Jose Araujo

It's been a busy, eventful and productive month for the Identity team at Asylum! Only a few weeks ago we released our first video showing real in-game content, the player housing system, and Identity has gotten a good bit of much-needed exposure! If you haven't seen the video, visit Identity's YouTube channel. Our programmers, especially Henrik Sonesson, have upgraded our inventory mechanics and created two new important gameplay systems these last weeks. The library which you'll have access to in the Town Square module is now in place and functional. Players can both read public domain classic books in-game, or even write their own and submit them to the library for other players to read. In addition, the NPC shop systems are now in place. When you enter most shops you'll be able to find the items you need on racks or displays around the store. Grab what it is you're looking for and then make your way to the cash register to make the purchase. In some places you can preview the items you're holding even before buying; for example, in a clothing store you can go into a change room. This system even allows for shoplifting some items, although player-crafted or very expensive items cannot be shoplifted on official servers. On the art front, we've brought on new artists and are continuing to build the world you'll be exploring. We've also been focusing on the interiors of buildings and characters. We've gotten our first facial hair assets and are approaching a complete character customization system. An overhaul of character skin and hair has Identity's characters looking incredibly life-like in comparison to other MMORPGs. Next on that list for a re-work is the eyes.

Personally, I'll probably start in a normal job just for money. It'll most likely involve working for any company here on the forums. After I've made enough money, I will attempt to get into the stock market and eventually real estate. Hopefully I'll make enough money to start a company of my own. If I receive any amount of success, I will use my money to either run for office or fund candidates that I feel are best fit.

I'm going to start a small yet affluent art store, for all your fine art needs!

I'll be a waitress at a diner, maybe hopefully one day taking over the business. Or I'll just get a job at a bar or a convenience store

I really want to play as a random guy at the beginning, and after living poor for a while, (or comfortable, depending on the actions i end up taking) I will end up wanting more. I wanna make a small business at first maybe like a convenience store or something. And then when I've made decent money off that I want to maybe open a chain of convience stores, and maybe even move in to buying companies, working them up from what they already are, and sell them for a decent profit (if buying/selling of companies is even going to be possible.) Maybe I'll even dabble in some crime to get capital (money) for my businesses. You gotta do what you gotta do. Plus being a drug dealer sounds like a really fun aspect of the game

Food and thirst system will be there but it won't impact you excessively e.g. by killing you but you will have to top them up every now and then because they will affect other attributes.

Farming is confirmed and also other options of living off the land is pretty much living off the grid like a mountain man, hunting for food and living without Internet

SOURCES: Farming & more Farm, pickups, private land Farm, garden & marijuana Farm no horses Farming vehicles Semi-trucks/tractor trailes

Hello there, As far as I am aware the targeted platform at launch is currently only set to be PC, Mac and Linux. Console platforms are currently not planned, however they will be looked into as a possibility (this does not mean a certainty) after the actual launch. Kind regards, DJScias PS: Read Paratus' replies about this here. PPS: Moved this to the Town Square (General) as this is a question about Identity and not really Off-Topic.
