~Los Santos Move & Features~

 

The community asked and we answered. This will be our final move, our final resting place. Welcome back to Los Santos like you haven't imagined. Los Santos has been the humble home for many of us; and as we all know, the last successful roleplaying server to accomplish LS was OwlGaming. Feeling nostalgic yet? We have moved back to LS with the goal to allow everyone's imagination run free. We want you to enjoy what we have in store for you. We have (and are still) updating the city constantly with mapping and 3D modelling. Development has slowed down a little due to myself being extremely busy, but that aside we're still well on track. We want everyone to be able to enjoy Los Santos in the way that they imagined. We have repurposed some of the maps from Owl, along with some of our own just to give us MTA Oldies to be nostalgic over. Rest assured, don't let that fool you. We will be making changed dynamically in accordance to the demand of the people and its communities. Gangs, Mafias, Legal and Illegal alike will have a voice to propel their changes and shape the city of fallen angels.

Looking back on it this was a huge move and AGRP staff did an incredible job with these very specific additions and fixes. This was some hefty work in a short time frame, the final product shows to be functional and the script is becoming more and more unique.
