When a player first joins California RP, there are a few options to get started:

✅ Optional Tutorial
The player can begin with a short tutorial – completely optional but highly recommended for newcomers.

🚶 Step 1: Walk to the Car Dealership
In the tutorial, the player makes their way on foot to the Car Dealership. There, the first vehicle is purchased using the provided starter cash.

📢 Skipping the Tutorial?
If the player chooses to skip the tutorial, they will still receive a notification guiding them to the Car Dealership. From there, the player can decide their own path.

🆔 Step 2: Documents Are Ready
From a roleplay perspective, the character has already received a driver’s license and ID upon “arrival.”

🏙️ Step 3: Explore Key Locations
After getting a car, the player visits several important spots in the city:

• 🏦 Nearest Bank
• 🛒 Nearest Store
• ⛽ Nearest Gas Station
• 👕 Clothing Shop
• 🏛️ City Hall

This quick introduction helps the player get familiar with the map and prepares them for deeper roleplay experiences.

Every player in California RP has the freedom to choose their own path – and this choice can be changed at any time.

🔹 The Illegal Path
Players who want to live on the edge can join a gang 🏴‍☠️, engage in illegal activities 💰, run underground businesses 🏪, steal and sell vehicles 🚗, or find other creative ways to build their empire outside the law.

🔹 The Legal Path
For those who prefer a legitimate lifestyle, there are many options available. Players can join player-owned businesses 💼 or work regular jobs 🛠️. At release, multiple opportunities will be open – from delivery driver 🚚 to taxi driver 🚕 and more.

🔹 Law Enforcement & Emergency Services
Players can also apply to join the LAPD, LAFD, or other state departments 👮‍♂️🚒. These positions require meeting certain criteria set by the departments themselves. Examples include a minimum level (e.g., 10) 📈, prior experience such as 1–2 days of playtime ⏱️, or other requirements.

No matter the path, the choice is always yours – and your story in California RP evolves with every decision.

Games like Mano County, Firestone, or Mayflower have steady player numbers (30–120+), but they rarely scale beyond that. California RP takes a different approach. The goal isn’t to cram hundreds of players into a single server, but to ensure realistic, high-quality roleplay whether there are 30 players, 50 players, or even 100 servers running at the same time 🔥.

Each California RP server will have a player cap of around 50–70 (final number depends on map size) 🎯. This limit allows the map to feel alive without becoming chaotic – perfect for meaningful interactions and a realistic city environment.

For example: The LAPD can have up to 200 members across the community 👮‍♂️, with strong leadership being the key. This ensures that every server has at least one high-ranking officer (e.g., Lieutenant or Sergeant) to maintain structure and realism ✅.

California RP emphasizes constant activity and interaction 🤝. There’s always something to do – whether you’re deeply engaged in RP 🎭, running your own business 💼, committing a heist 💰, responding to emergencies 🚓🚒, or just relaxing and exploring 🌴.

Our philosophy: quality over quantity in each server, while scaling to support a large, active community across multiple servers 🌐.
