Hello everyone! I just wanna say hi and that I'm super excited for Identity! I've known about the game for about a year and I think the level of depth this game wants to achieve is awesome!!! I can't wait to get in and start experiencing things!! - MrJMC003

Currently planning on being the president of a MC and running a business, however if all goes to shit, I might resort to the woods and live out the rest of my days in peace, hunting and farming.

It's not a secret now

I was extremely excited when they said in a reddit Q/A that the driving mechanics will be much more like GTA IV instead of more arcade like in other driving games. Now we are close to finally see it! I was dissapointed with Rockstar with how boring they made the driving in GTA 5, but at the same time I can't blame them since they were targetting a bigger audience who happen to like having it less challenging.

This is an excellent write-up, and I agree completely. Small corruption = good. Large corruption needs to be wiped out.

I have been leaning towards that myself GreyFox. Hunting/fishing anyway.

This may have been brought up before recently but I haven't seen it. Just checking to see if the gameplay will be out this month as promised

That's the Town Square module release date...there will be a video gameplay before that..and they said it could be this month

That is the module one release date if I'm not mistaken. I'm referring to the video.

Looks great

Your apartment in Town Square will come with such things, and they'll be placable in the environment where you choose much the same way as you'd place down furniture.

Guns stores are going to make Boo Koo bucks. I plan on getting one myself after I buy the necessities for my homestead. As far as jobs go I am still undecided. Anything outdoors I suppose. Mining, fishing/hunting, idk about farming, lumberjack, maybe I will consider being a garbage truck driver or even a mechanic. Just as long as the pay is decent, I am not looking to be rich but I would like to have what I need as well as a few toys.

Hahaha looking at the poll currently it seems like we're gonna have some sorta Gotham City shenanigans with all these criminals and police running around

Grey fox, you made my day.

Welcome to the community! Lots of information here.

As a player who is planning on joining the force, I disagree with this statement in a few ways. Firstly I want to make it clear that I do not think that corruption should be against server rules (You shouldn't get banned for it) but I also do not believe it should be encouraged. Sure there will be corrupt cops because people want the cash, but I don't think there will or should be too many. The next aspect is politicians. I would hate to see a public server politician become corrupt. Now when I say corrupt, I don't mean doing drugs or breaking laws, I mean pardoning criminals with ties to certain gangs or them working with certain gangs. The only reason I say this is because I know what it is like being in a game or on a server where one party or group has full control over the server. Especially in some life-based RP games, I have played. Basically what happens is someone makes a criminal empire and because of that, they are capable of pulling off major crimes. Now the problem lies once this group is in correlation with a governing body. the reason being is the cops will either be at a complete disadvantage when attempting to apprehend the criminals (given misinformation, they are warned ahead of time, etc), or the police will be useless because even if they arrest someone, they would just be pardoned or released. Now, this is not fun for a variety of reasons. The first being the police. As an officer, you would be looking for an opportunity to roleplay as a job you find interesting. So when you physically can not do your job because you know that if you respond to that call or you try to place a warrant, you will get killed by a large group of people on the backs of corrupt police and politicians. The second is that when the officers cannot do their jobs, the whole city goes into complete anarchy, making any player not apart of what would more than likely be a secluded gang, getting bullied and pushed around without any means of defending themselves. In simplest terms, in the course of probably a year (depending on the gangs grow rate), this will be the history of that server. The History of Hell: Peaceful town. Minimal Crime. Police have control. Structured Gov. (The way intended by our Gods (the devs)) Gang violence starts peaking. Police are directing attention towards that. Gang violence erupts into Suburban and Inner city. Police now have most attention there. Gang Violence is a major problem. Police ignore lesser crimes. Politicians start focusing on fixing the issue. Gang conversion. All smaller gangs start to group up into larger gangs. This could be anywhere from inner-city to outer-city or east-side vs west-side. The city has become a "hood" type feel. All crime begins to spike. Police start going corrupt. Remaining police lose control. Politicians lose control. People begin leaving the city. Gang violence surges for days. Police can not intervein because of little manpower. Politicians go into hiding. Businesses close down. People hide One gang is victorious. Gang violence massively drops. Crime spikes. Politicians are forced to step down, corrupt leaders elected. Police lose even more control. Remaining police band together in a vigilante force. Most die Vigilante force outnumbered. Vigilante force leaves. Normal citizens get harassed. Normal citizens leave. Now for some people that may sound fun. However it really isn't, the untold history after that is everyone is just grinding non-stop because they are never contested by law enforcement. So the server struggles to get new people, old ones leave, and it dies out. No one but the ones in the action will have fun and for everyone else, its a complete middle figure to their attempt at immersion. I got a bit sidetracked but to attempt to tie this to the whole corruption thing, basically if too many police go corrupt, it would be because of a large gang. This large gang will more than likely follow this timeline. Now if a politician went corrupt, this would just boost the process where basically we skip the gang violence a skip straight to the police losing complete control. If you need me to clarify, ask me. I can understand any confusion. (Not check/revised/edited) I lied I will edit this once to add this bit. Just to restate, I am fine with small corruption here and there, but we have to be careful of an outcome stated above. It is not a very small chance that it will happen, it has a very good chance of happening if the general corruption like we think would happen, happen. It would be a shame to watch an entire official server being avoided or driving players away from the game.

No business is REALLY booming as the game isn't out yet. Most companies you see are just one guy who made a forum post to try and get people interested. However, off the top of my head some of the bigger companies that should be taken seriously (As of now referred to the "DollaBank" Bluechip Fortune 15): Security - Aegis, Atlas Transportation - Velocity, National Transport inc, Discovery Logistics, Core Transportation Clothing - Keys, Supreme Media - Identity TV Finance - Dollabank LLC, Rapidora, Fidelity This is a pretty inclusive list of all the Companies I'd consider "vetted." I may have missed a few. I also intentionally didn't include any political organizations or crime families. Though there are some pretty big ones you should be aware of. If I forgot anyone major PM me and I'll check it out and add it.

There won't be such thing in the game.

The Luprano family is alive and well, and we are anxiously awaiting the release of the town square module.

We're aware of the police presence spying on us, and we don't give a damn.

I want to be a mechanic or some meth head that lives off the land in the woods in an RV and when people get near scream at them and chase them with a machete

I heard that NPCs will be manning stores, but what if you can apply for a "Part Time" job at a place to be their clerk. then you can go out and work your real job and stuff like that and when you're offline your player character will do this, and this could be an income to pay rent if you're going to be offline for awhile (like if you're getting your computer repaired ect.)

I would target gold diggers.
