Roleplay Server (RP Server) in GTA 5 Online attract a large part of the community to play interesting roles there. Work as a police officer or be on the run as a criminal. Maybe such an RP server is something for you.
You have completed the story of GTA 5 and are now looking for an alternative to the “normal” multiplayer? On roleplay servers of Grand Theft Auto Online, many players are willing to share and experience adventurous stories with you. For example, this can be done as a member of the San Andreas State Police.
Stop at red lights – GTA roleplay with real-life factor?
If any of you have played a part of the “Grand Theft Auto” series, you have probably reached the point where you wanted to obey the traffic rules. Then you stop at red lights and pay attention to traffic and pedestrians. The game world shines in a completely different light.
Players on roleplay servers also adhere to such rules and play GTA 5 Online less destructively than one might be used to from the “normal” multiplayer servers. The player group around Sheriff Eli Thompson, the head of “Sheriff Eli’s Digital Law & Order”, became particularly well-known. The role of the badass cop is played by him like no one else, he has over 200,000 followers on his livestream channel.
They regularly watch him solve crimes or arrest criminals in his role as an online cop.
Anyone watching the experienced RP players of GTA 5 will be entertained. In the following clip, the sheriff wants to convince a prostitute to leave the location, and suddenly there is a fight with a passerby. Shortly thereafter, the scene escalates.
Not just watching is fun. Why not try your luck on the RP servers of GTA 5 yourself? If you are not acting as a cop, you can take on the role of a passerby, for example. On the various roleplay servers for GTA 5, you can expect funny stories because everyone plays their fictional character differently. In character creation, there are many freedoms that leave room for creativity.
How does GTA 5 roleplay work? – Mods
Roleplay servers in GTA 5 use modifications that can vary depending on the server. With various add-ons, you have the options to play out your roleplay on the servers.
To earn money, you need to work with your created online character – some do this as truck drivers, transporting various goods from A to B. Of course, you can also earn money through criminal means on the RP servers, but then police officers like Sheriff Eli lurk for you.
GTA 5 RP servers in German
Many of the German streamers play at GTAlife.net and take on the role of their RP characters there. Another German GTA 5 RP server is GVMP. You can usually see which server best fits your preferences in the server description.
GVMP advertises, for example, with entertaining jobs where you can earn money. You can engage in criminal activities there and build respect with street gangs or represent the law of Los Santos as a police officer.
Applying to GTA RP servers to play
As you may know from other RP games or servers, players who do not follow the rules can quickly spoil the fun. Therefore, many server admins expect a meaningful application from you. These are sometimes accepted in writing, but often also on Teamspeak servers.
The application includes an interesting story about your character that you must convincingly convey to those responsible. This often excludes trolls who want to ruin others’ roleplay from registering there. If you still do not adhere to the rules after passing the interview, you will simply be removed from the whitelist and no longer have access.
System not yet matured – Lags on RP servers
Because the servers are not sponsored by Rockstar themselves, there are often smaller issues and server downtimes. Synchronization problems and crashes can occur.
If you want to get a clearer picture of the RP servers before playing, you can do so on various German and English livestreams. On Twitch.TV, you will find many RP streamers who usually indicate on which server they are playing.
