Asset Management Announcement
Hello everyone,
This announcement will cover the changes we’re making to how businesses operate and are managed on RCRP. It’s no secret that the entire business system has needed a major revamp for quite some time, and we’re hoping the new system we’re implementing will stimulate businesses across the board, making them a deeper and more engaging experience for those of you who enjoy running your own business.
Business System Changes
Previously, players had little incentive to open businesses, since they received an hourly paycheck regardless of whether the business was actually operating. This led to many businesses being bought for the paychecks & left unused. We want to change that, and we hope the new script changes, as well as the Asset Management backed schemes will help address this issue.
The following business types now pay $1000 per person that enters directly into the safe, this is currently capped at 50 players & on a 12 hour cooldown.
- Nightclub
- Bar/Pub
- Resturant
- Barbershop
- Tattoo Parlor
- Gym
- Strip Club
- Casino
- Pawn shop
- Spa
The following businesses now allow players to RP inside of them to earn money, players will earn $4,000 per hour they are 'on shift' inside of these businesses. The owner of the business will also recieve 25% of the earnings from all items purchased in the store, as well as $2000 into the safe for each hour open. Additionally gas stations now earn money from the fuel they sell.
- General store
- Fast food store
- Clothing store
- Electronics store
- Sex store
- Pharmacy
- Ammunations
- Sports store
- Gas stations
The following businesses currently have no special features as they should be used exclusively for roleplay
- Offices
- Faction HQs
- Warehouses
Schemes
One of the major problems we've identified with businesses is that, unless a player has a lot of money, acquiring one can be difficult. We want to make businesses more accessible to newer players, less wealthy players, and factions alike. To help achieve this, we’ve created two new schemes.
Business Lease Scheme
Any players (including factions) will now be able to lease a business from Asset Management in exchange for a small weekly payment, upon recieving the business players will be allowed to customise it to their liking. All Asset Management asks in return is that business is used frequently. More information regarding these scheme can be found HERE.
Lease to buy scheme
The second scheme we intend to launch will make it easier for players to eventually own businesses they lease from Asset Management, players that are active, creative & innovative will be able to eventually outright buy the business they are leasing from Asset Management for the overall baseprice of the business.
Alternatively if you have a well thought out idea for a business we may offer the opportunity for you to apply for a business from scratch, allowing you to pick the location & type of business you'd like to lease. More information on this scheme will be available prior to the servers launch.
Previous Leases
Players that previously leased businesses from Asset Management may continue using these businesses when the server reopens. If you would like to continue using the business please contact a member of Asset Management with the business details. If you don't reach out and let us know prior to the relaunch you risk your business being wiped and made available to other players to apply for. Members of Asset Management can be found HERE.
Closing
Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had regarding the new systems we have in place for businesses. If you have any futher questions or suggestions for future implementations feel free to drop them below.
