    No Jobs in the Town Square Module, and the jobs won't be until the Beta which is after the 3 module but before the full game.

    Hello RPErs, I wanted to bring to light a common issue that people may come across regardless of age while playing role playing games or even video games in general. This issue can impact everyone of us and can have negative effects to our real life. Such effects can range to losing priorities in real life, doing bad in school, performing bad at work, stress, loss interest in socializing with family and or friends in real life, physiological and mental negatives effects. These listed are only but a few negatives effects listed that can occur while we play videos games and or role play for long extensive periods with out breaks. As we embark into role playing and role playing MMOS and video gaming in general we have to understand some negatives affects that these can have on your priorities if you do not manage your time properly. Let me explain: As we "role play" and pretend to be a different person on such platforms that are huge in role playing we often can lose track of who we are in real life. Dont worry i am here to help you understand good practices to keep you focused in real life while having fun in a role playing setting. The following tips can help you keep your real life priorities and goals in order and allow you to have fun resting assure your mom wont yell at you cause you are failing school, or you boss at work is getting ready to fire you or your loved ones aren't getting to see you or issues managing time for your girlfriend or boyfriend. Lets Begin: TIME MANAGEMENT Time management is key for those that are in school and or have a family to look after or even have a job that is time consuming. You must know when to play video games and when you need to stop to get some rest, cook dinner, do laundry etc. These daily life tasks and procedures are whats called your priorities. Remember when your mom told you to clean your room before you played outside or even hopped on your favorite video game? Well, that still applies when you become an adult or even if you are not one yet what your parents are saying is true. You must make sure you have completed your priorities before spending a long period of time on your favorite video game. Time management will allow for you to set schedules on when important priorities need to be completed, you can do the critical important tasks before you start gaming then complete some lesser important tasks after you're finishing your gaming session. Whats important is to remember you are the one to set a schedule and maximize efficiency of your time spent. The goal is to knock out your important tasks for that day before gaming, then finish up tasks that aren't time sensitive after you're done gaming. Have good time management and you'll be on your way to a pound for pound champion!!! Go get em tiger. PRIORITIES Ah, yes priorities. Those tasks you have to do because if you don't you could lose your job, not make rent, lose your girlfriend or even be late on appointments or even just become depressed when you lose track of priorities. Make sure before you have begun planning a good schedule for time management that you are fulfilling your priorities and these could be from a number of things that you have to complete in real life. Only you know what these are or if you are a minor and living with momma and pappa, ask them what are your priorities and listen to what is expected from you by your parents. Once you have established your priorities then you can begin ranking them from most important (must complete) to less important (can complete at will). HEALTH This one is a short one but make sure you are getting adequate sleep .... (4 hours a day is not adequate sleep who you kidding?) make sure you are keep yourself and your environment hygienic so germs do not effect you and get you seek. Make sure you are showering at least once a day (id recommend 2 times a day one in the morning and one at night). Make sure you are playing in a lit room so your eyes dont get damaged (some have more sensitive eyes and over time playing in a dark room can negatively impact your eyes, others however might not be affected, consult your eye doctor. I am no doctor so please make sure you are always consult your doctor about healthy choices not the internet. ) Make sure you are getting from your desk and or area of gaming and stretch those muscles take a little walk, drinks some water. Also, please refrain from eating unhealthy snacks and or sugary drinks as these can cause health problems. A good habit i like to do is eat some carrots and or celery when i game. Or even have some fruits.(fruit juice choose is not recommended as these typically are high in sugar). Make sure you look away from your screen at a distant object to not stra in your eyes. If you feel lightheaded from gaming to long and or feel dizzy stop playing immediately and consult your physician. Lastly stay hydrated! WATER WATER WATER. one good thing about water while gaming its good for your body and while you drink lots of water it forces you to get up with frequent visits to the urinal. Hence making you active and keep your blood flowing. REAL LIFE YOU vs ONLINE ROLE PLAYING YOU Remember at the end of the day no matter if you are a criminal, serial killer, queen, king and or doctor or whatever you imagination takes you at the end of the day those are just fantasies. There is a real you in REAL LIFE that no one can replace. Be sure to remember no matter how good it feels to role play or negative it can get. remember that your virtual life is not a real life representation of who you are so don't be afraid to take risks in role playing, besides it about fantasy and make believe. always remember the real you from the online criminal you! (or whatever you like) CONCLUSION! In no way is there negative effects of playing video games responsibly! (What i mean by this is if you don't spend all day gaming and don't neglect your life goals and or sleep need then you'll be fine). To some degree however there COULD be negative affects from compulsive gaming as i have listed some negative effects in the post. Which i am only scratching the surface as there are more complex problems that go beyond the scope of this post (EX. video game addiction). What i outline in this post is touching bases on video gaming responsibly. The last part about Real life you vs virtual life you is only encouraging you to not take video games serious so you don't get angry at people if they troll you or dont rage because certain things in the game aren't going your way and don't lose who you really are in real life(which i am saying if there is cyber bullying happening remember they don't know who you really are in real life. You are awesome and you should ignore video game bullying. Which video games now days allows us to block people mute people and even report people). Whether it be performance in school or hygiene problems (ex. like playing all night then realizing you have to work in 30 minutes and don't have time to shower. or showering only to find yourself late to work BECAUSE YOU GAMED ALL NIGHT and decided to take a last minute shower.).It is clear that their COULD be some negative implications if we do not set proper time management. Thats all this post is saying. Im not saying video games is bad for you.Im not saying don't play video games i am merely suggesting that because there COULD be some negative effects to compulsive gaming. Video game addiction exists and it is very real. The adult thing is to understand what you need to do to perform great in your personal life without video games impacting you in a negative way. trust me when i tell you i have failed an exam because i was gaming all night even though i studied or i have went in to work late because i am grinding out the last level and i have to work in 30 minutes. Its not that i don't care, it was my error of not managing my time well. That is all this post is saying. here are some sources that inspired this post from credible outlets that you could find interesting. http://www.addictionrecov.org/Addictions/?AID=45 https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/pages/Video-Gaming-Can-Lead-to-Mental-Health-Problems.aspx This link below is an actual academic paper so if you cant understand what its saying then its ok, i had to read it over and over to understand what this paper was saying. https://public.psych.iastate.edu/caa/abstracts/2015-2019/15GA2.pdf trust me you cant understand it if you just read a little it actually takes focus to understand this paper. It highlights some interesting points. Finally i wanna close with the following. No one is saying videos games is bad for you and you shouldn't play it. All i am saying is if you game to much you COULD see some negative affects in your personal life if you are not managing your time well. You cant game 20 hours a day and sleep for 4 hours and expect to have time to hold a job/ shower/ and actually live a healthy life. its just not possible and i wouldnt recommended someone playing that much or even close to that. (Even though we all have had our fair share of all nightes.) This post is just a simple reminder to set your priorities straight as when great games come out we all know how much we wanna no life game them. Thank you if you actually took the time to read this long post.

    https://gyazo.com/12b10136e15085b24213702e576b8fc5 This shows that you get an apartment and also a old dirt bike. You don't get a house and so no, you cannot rent the apartment out. As I just said, well you don't get a house in any pledge and only apartment, in which apartments are not rent-able. The VIP pledge package only gets the 2 bedroom apartment in which was the one in the "Housing customisation" video. A studio apartment is as far as I am aware is more of a Big open apartment/ just a bathroom being separate and not anything else. So if this that I assume is correct that means only the owner can live there! With the "HomeOwner package" you get a 1 car garage. Also you will get to try out the apartments and the customisation in the "TS module", however in Beta, you will be able to use/ both the car and apartment which is after all 3 modules get released and then the in the full game too.

    No, I said Beta which is after all 3 modules and well basically most of the game will be complete at that time but the Beta is when you will experience the Jobs and most other parts of the game as the Beta will be Feature complete. The Modules are just small portions and will only give certain areas/ parts of the game to experience.

    If you get one of the latest CPU's and one of the GTX 10 series, you should be fine as all the new GPU's can handle most games; however there is no confirmation/ real benchmark/ testing results as of yet and even if there was, they would not be accurate for the full game as because the development of the game is no where near the full game completion.

    Yeah like I said, It would be fine in instances like a robbery to lose count, in my example, I put N/A because of this, but for things, such taser's or one shot fired for a pulled weapon would be easy to count.

    I like everything included in here except how many shots you fired. As sometimes within the heat you could forget. Also I'm in favor of arrest/police reports in general. So every time you arrest someone you have to fill out a tab. But yeah I like it.

Got a friend of mine to buy the founder package yesterday to gain access to everything when launched. Can't wait to play the game with my friends! Hope the devs can make the game like they claim they are making it because if they can realise that, this game is so changing and leaps in front of other games!
