I think that the module will release on May 4th because "May The fourth Be With you devs" I plan to meet new people and have some laughs with everyone.

I think the Town Square Module will be released May 1st because April showers bring May flowers (Showers= Everyone crying 'cause the module hasn't been released yet, Flowers= the module)! My first day of play I'll probably spend the entire time trying out the housing customization features!

The module isn't "supposed" to release in a few days. All the hard parts are done as of now, it's just a matter of finishing some buildings and interior. It's very close to being finished.

I think all clothes will be unisex like in Saints Row

If it does, I hope it fixes the issue of joining a Gmod server. >Join server >loading > *INSTALLING FOUR COPIES OF ARMA 3 AND WITCHER 3 ONTO YOUR PC* > "sending server client for another half an hour" Then everything is the purple checkered texture and everything is cancer because you didn't install the Stargate mod and download WireMod from k4pitaliztpiksmustdie.ru.cn

Nice idea. Maybe you could also do it escape room-style with friends

I plan on being a lesbian in game lol!

(b) Every individual has freedom to start business of his own choice. (c) All economic activities are guided by the motive of profit. (d) Individuals are the owners and acquire property and pass it on to next heir after death. (e) Government has little role to play in the functioning of the economy. Prices of goods and services are determined by the market forces of demand and supply. Important Business Information Tax on businesses is 10% on company profit. After employees have been paid, inventory bought, etc. Depending on what the company reports as profit a business could nearly have no tax! The Tale of Lucious Times Lucious grew to be homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In a city of crime Lucious had to be on the lookout at every turn. In Lucious' young life he grew to be very aware of the crime filled city and knew he had to do something to ensure his safety. At 15, Lucious started an organization with a few neighborhood boys called "The Peacekeepers". These boys were brutal. They cleaned the streets of crime in the most direct ways possible. Showing up to criminal hideouts and wasting away every member present, making fake visits to prisons and jails to poison and eliminate those criminals on the inside, making appointments with the LAPD to let THEM know how things would be done. The Peacekeepers were vigilantes at the finest. The city soon had a crime rate so low new schools were being built and more people migrated to the lovely city of Los Angeles. Through all the harsh deeds The Peacekeepers had done Lucious never was present for the actual action. He was the mastermind, the planner, the brain of the whole operation. Sitting behind a desk as leader of The Peacekeepers. Oh how things looked great! Lucious had made something out of nothing and became a city icon and hero as he grew older. Though soon, things made a turn for the worst. Lucious' closest partner, his beautiful fiance was capture by a man known by the name Gustavo Fring. A now well-known high profile methamphetamine drug lord. He did so because by cleaning up the city Lucious made distribution for Mr. Fring come to a complete stop in the area. Lucious grew furious, so furious he began to walk into a whole new light. The Peacekeepers became a weapon at Lucious' disposal. He thought long and hard and then finally had a plan. After finding where Fring was located Lucious and his team of over 200 men approached the location, guns loaded and ready for anything. However, Fring was already aware of Lucious' presence and decided to retaliate. Fring killed Lucious' fiance, then sent out total war upon Lucious and his men. In the end only two men were left standing; Fring and Lucious. After few words, Lucious caught leverage and killed Fring. Though Lucious was severely injured by gunshot. He called the LAPD. With quickness, Lucious was saved and had chance to speak with the LAPD Chief of Police. He thanked Lucious for his doings and after a long conversation of tears the chief left. Lucious began to realize how much he'd loss. All his men, his fiance, his hold on the city from crime all gone! Three weeks later Lucious walked out of the hospital, grab all $789,211 he'd raised with his people, and began to leave town for a new home. A place called Turtle Beach on Identity Island. However, when he got to the town line he found something waiting for him. Over half the city was standing their with gold-colored gold-scented candles. Some of them stood to give thanks, but many stood ready to follow him wherever he went. A woman by the name of Dorris Jean approached Lucious and told him this: "We give these candles to represent who you are to the city. Forever will you be the gold we all love, the gold we all know has provided, the gold we all know will pay the price. For to us you are a leader and friend. For you have become like royalty in this city. And with you royalty we be your royal family." Lucious was proud. All negative feelings previous washed away. Lucious now felt the obligation to continue to lead. For he knew he was wise and could give great leadership. This time he wouldn't limit himself to the leadership of a groups of boys who run a city, no. That was below him now. Now he needed to lead in higher heights where he could have greater impact and influence. A position of power such as Governor would do the trick! So he then decided to venture into the political field of leadership once he arrived in his new home. A few hours later after a celebratory evening Lucious and the now called Royal Family left. 12 days later they arrived in Turtle Beach on the Identity island and the rest is soon to be foretold...

The Rebel Department Welcome to the Department. We are a gang seeking control over the drug business. Our main goal in identity will be drug wars & gang wars and some fun RP'ing. We have already made multiple connections like a supply of weapons, drug smugglers, protection and hitman services. We can offer all our members part of these connections. So what is the department? A rebel group? Ehh, the word rebel is there because it is a beautiful word, since The Drug Trafficking, Cartel Fighting Gang War Department would not sound neat would it? Nuff said, we do absolutely everything. We do everything, as long as it involves shooting and money. EVERYTHING. But most likely just fight cartels, rob people for their drugs, do gang wars, make drugs, get rich. But, who are you to lead this gang, are you trustworthy? I claim to be a trustworthy leader for this gang. I am pretty sure that, whenever our journey begins, we will not have much support or members. I will have to do the dirty work myself. And i always will be doing the "field work" myself as well. I am not bossing anyone around. I am a leader, not a boss. The gang is not about anyone being bossed around, we work as equals. Always. Are you interested in joining our gang? Read the rules at the bottom of this post and use the application form right under the rules, send me your application via PM and i will review it. If i join, what will we do together? We will do many things together, like produce drugs, fight other gangs, burn their meth labs, steal their meth. Capture cartels, steal everything worth our time, maybe rob a bank and capture more cartels. We will do everything worth our time. If i join, can i become something big in this gang? The answer is yes. There are 3 ranks in total. To rank up, you need to prove your loyalty to the gang. For each rank up, you need to pass a test. This test forces you to prove your loyalty. Each rank has a harder test they need to beat in order to rank up. The test is not mandatory, assuming you find a better way to prove your loyalty and respect in a different way. Most of the time, a loyalty test involves an act against a rival gang for example. The ranks are: Recruit The new member will get this rank. Recruits will always be under watch, and they will be carefully judged whether or not they can start to climb up the ranks. Soldier A soldier has proved his loyalty with a test. This is the regular rank around here. The soldiers will be the muscle of the gang. Sergeant A higher rank than a soldier. He has proved himself in a battle and has been also taken a loyalty test. He has access to the gang funds etc. Enemies So far none, but don't get me wrong, we are not joking around. Anyone against us will be marked on the list of enemies. Allies The Bad Company Rangers MC (DISBANDED) The Luprano Family And lastly, the rules of the gang 1. No snitching or ratting. Talking about our stuff to outsiders will result in a punishment for ratting. This involves some nasty stuff and kicking you out from the department. 2. No crime against The Department is allowed. If you help a rival gang, you will be marked as a rat. 3. No stealing from us by any means! This makes you a thief, and they get the exact same treatment as rats. 4. If you get caught, no words about the department shall not be spoken. If you tell the cops any information, you will be count as a rat. If you agree to follow these rules, here is an application base How old are you? = What kind of (online) gang / group activity have you done in the past? = How much time can you allocate for the department? = Do you have any experience in online roleplay? = Are you ready to do some insane stuff? = What can you bring to the department? Why should we accept you? = What is your timezone? = What server will you be playing on? (EU for example) = Note: By no means do you have to roleplay a Russian character to be a part of this gang. It is just that i roleplay a Russian character. Decided to put this here because many people have misconceptions that this gang is only for people roleplaying as Russians. Now, you have read all there is so far. If i missed anything, just ask me personally. Rekter, the leader of the Department

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.

I really hope that there will be a wide enough variety of female clothing that my character won't be limited to dresses or other "feminine" wardrobe choices. I'm more of a flannels and suits kind of gal, if you feel me. I'd hate to see wardrobe choices be limited to my character's gender. With some exceptions, I can definitely assume. Hairstyles too. I really don't want to have long hair. Us butch ladies exist, lol even if we may not have such options for a while, I hope you keep that in mind! Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to play B)

Because no other MMORPG has offered so much to be possible. We are going to be able to do many of things possible in real life, so now it really will be possible to live out our dreams in a game. We will be able to get a house, get the career we always wanted, get married, get a car, and more.

Sorry "Club".

There is currently no info on those careers other than knowing the cop branches

Hi! I tried to look if there was any posts regarding this idea. It is possible that my search skills were poor or I was just blind . Anyway there will be people who design clothes etc. Shouldn't there be a career choice for a Cosmetologist / Hairdresser? Who either has her/his own parlour where you can change the makeup and hairstyles on other players :). Or some other way just to offer these services, say in your home? Some form of "levelling" in this would be that when you advance you would open more different (and more special) styles. All games I played always had the odd NPC offering you this service. Would be nice to have it as a special vocation. What do you guys think? I know I would choose this one haha...

Love that idea!

I like this idea! The other racing was disbanded so its nice to see a new one.

Like I stated earlier, FNF normally only set up alliances with those we have actually met, and have had some positive history with. We are fine being friendly, however we do not jump into alliances. Thank you for your interest in an affiliation with us.

Looks interesting brother, No matter what happens you will have the Cherokee support & I hope it works out for you and the crew.

In Saints Row all clothing fitted any type of body they were on. May it be a skinny school girl or a fat 10ft high chrome blue ogre with lipstick on. All comes down to creativity with the tools you're given, really.

I would anytime choose a RL player to get my hair fixed, even if that means that I get the same choices through a menu as with an npc (hopefullt more choices tho), it would indeed add something social in game.

I'd be very down for this, seeing as I'd like to play a man at some point, but I have the most feminine voice you can imagine lmfao. Kinda immersion breaking when this big grizzled burly dude comes at you with a voice like a disney princess lolololol

Yep, this would be a good idea. Hopefully this have been brought to the dev's attention already.

Tyronne was one of the Biggest Crack/Cocaine Dealer in the Ghettos in Roseport from being a boy from the hood to a drug king, no matter what he would stay true to himself he never wore suits he always the baggiest street clothes and showing his gold chains. He earned the name "Coke Face" because at parties his was face completely covered in coke you couldn't tell if he was black or white. His empire came crumbling when the Mexicans came they took his customers his streets everything. Then he met a man named Vince "Freeze" Drayton (@Vince) to pick up the pieces. Now that he is being counseled, he's gonna learn on how to make it big.

I'm pretty sure he was joking around, regardless there won't be any "children" in Identity. Being a serial killer is a bit of a touchy subject because your very soul purpose for killing innocent Citizen's would be as simple as it just being what you do; In that case, anyone can kill anyone randomly for little to no reason and claim to just be a "serial killer". Generally speaking, it'll easily be met with a lot of controversy. This might however be an interesting "community event" under special circumstances, people could be notified of the serial killer and his motives providing a state wide bounty hunt for the alleged killers capture. It would indeed provide interesting role-play for detectives to play out, I'd personally like to see that happening under special circumstances. This however likely won't be an "event" on any of the official Identity server's. In my opinion, it's poor character development and likely will not be permitted on just any community. Maybe however you'll find a community that's okay with this, to a degree. Maybe. In that case however, don't expect good overall role-play.

Everyone has there guesses and well, I think even if it is not released this month, it will be by end of may hopefully.

Scary guess...leap from 76% to 89% was rather fast...I hope your guess is slightly inaccurate ? But it takes what it takes!

if you have an audio interface that hooks up via USB like Focusrite or Audiobox, and have your mic hooked up to it, then make sure its your default device. It'll work just like a headset mic. Right click on your speaker icon bottom right taskbar, go into Recording Devices right click your interface, set as default. And you can use it for any game like Overwatch, ARMA, TF2, just like any game. XLR mics can work as long as there is a USB audio interface converter.

Well i'm thinking about this clan is for every kind of player, you can just play as a solo player, but we can do orginisted drug runs and other crimes whenever you like with who ever you like (with people of the clan). You can call the clan for back-up when ever you need. Its just like a family.

Happy easter my man, hope you got a couple of eggs your way

no crime, which is the point in my question, all they do is if you join you can buy their clothes, and hang out with them at events.

You either respawn at a last bind location or you wait to get revived by a paramedic.

When someone kills you or what will happen? For instance if you were a cop and you got killed during a shootout what will happen to you?

You stop living.

I'm a big fan of haunted houses and halloween myself and it would be cool if they could set this thing up on halloween but it depends on what resources they have and if they're busy with other stuff. Maybe they could add a haunted house and trick or treat paid dlc on halloween ^^

The last thing I want is for a GTA clone. Sure criminal activity will be part of the game, but the absolute chaos of GTA was the entire reason I stopped playing. Crime in Identity actually has a purpose, and hopefully very high risks with severe impacting consequences. If you're into driveby shootings, mass random acts of violence and destruction, GTA is the game for you. If you're into crime that takes thought, planning, and skill, Identity is the way to go. Identity is not and will not be another GTA.

Welcome to Identity!

6/10 Rap isn't my thing but they obviously have talent.

Hello @TheBraan and welcome to the identity community. Nice to meet you. Alway nice to meet other germans here in the forums Enjoy your stay here!

i plan on becoming a teacher then getting cancer which will force me to make meth to support my wife and disabled son and i will take a suburban drug dealer under my wing as he calls everyone bitch along the way and smokes meth as well boy do i know how to chose em but in the end he will turn his ways around untill i tell him i tried to murder his GF son cuz he wanted out of the biz but we will make up and i will betray him so he can be enslaved to cook meth for some people i suspect are racist but hey he got my wifes brother killed did i mention hes DEA boy was i in a pickle but ill go back to save my enslave friend whom i had a love/hate/father son i never had relationship with by building a kick ass turrent gun out of my trunk that activates by my key alarm and get shot in the process and die by a bunch of meth cooking equipment well my partner ride away in the wind also my cancer was cured a long time ago

Personally, I'd like the "timer" to be your "blood loss" so only when you "bleed out" can you respawn; This will allow a friend to attempt to slow or even stop the bleeding, giving you more time before you die. I'd like there to be an experience system though, whereas the more experience you have the better you can slow/stop the bleeding. It's experience systems like this that truly define your character, allowing you to work your character towards certain specialties (or skills) truly creating a diversity of individuality on the island.

I personally will play with controller, because it provides a more realistic way of feeling the game while you play. Also, when driving, Xbox controller have sensitivity on the back buttons, unlike keyboards where you're either pressing the button or not. I will probably only use keyboard for texting in my phone.

I'm really hoping that there are going to be other players like myself, that aren't playing to wreak havoc on everyone by constantly killing or robbing other players. I'm really hoping that this game is gonna be different and that it isn't going to be overridden with crime and drugs and guns. I'm hoping for social activities, friends, and realistic civilian type roleplay. I'm really excited because it seems there's going to be a lot more for people to do than just cops vs. criminals. I might be lame, but I seriously just want others that will roleplay daily professions, parties, neighbors, dates, nights out, etc. with me. I want friends that will live virtual lives with me in a humane society. I think the social aspect is the most important part of the game, and the devs are trying to emphasize that, but it seems that too many people only play games to shoot everyone.

Hey boys and girls, here is a Q&A that I did with Motown! I hope you have learned something new!

They will likely send out a steam key for you to activate yes.

I think it will be out tomorrow

Once again, it's just from my experience as a gamer. Right now the two games most similar to Identity, Arma 3 altis life and Gta V, I have 400+ hours in altis life and I have only once ever encountered a female player, and that was in the police force, which is great. And in GTA V, with 200+, never ever have I ever encountered a female player. I really do hope that Identity does have a large female player base though, as it would really make the game way more realistic and immersive, as well as diversify the game community. I am glad your group has a large female player base, but I am just stating that from my experience, I doubt there will be many women playing this game.

Can't wait to marry the dream 38 year old balding fat guy who lives in his mums basement.

there are always squeakers. no need for childs
