RP09 Update 1

Current update notes for RP09. These are subject to change up until release.

General Changes

• The system core has upgraded from RP08 to RP09. This gives greater stability, and integration with the forums. With this, we expect less downtime.
• We have moved to Evocity 1! With a fresh government, new layout and more!
• Npc's have arrived! They have taken up certain area's, notably the bank, the lobby and certain other places. They're willing to help you with nearly anything you want!
• The Jukebox has been added, listen to music while playing! You have the ability to stop the current song if you dislike it, or mute the jukebox entirely. Advanced will gain the ability to upload songs with the .mp3 format. Currently only four people can use the Jukebox, however in time DJ's may be added.
• In City45, there was an anti-weather shield, keeping it sunny all day long! However now in Evocity, this is gone and thus it can rain, storm, become dry and sunny! Unfortunatly the ability to go to night hasn't been discovered yet, however this will appear in time!
• Billboards have arisen to help you advertise and get you customers!
• A bank in Evocity has become available to everyone! Bank your goods there today to keep them secure!
• Upon death, you now lose all inventory items (not applicable to perk / advanced items )
• Certain area's are "neutral" zones, thus you cannot use weapons in them.
• Those warranted cannot enter neutral zones (they bounce off).
• Current neutral zones are the Lobby and Main bank.
• Old defunct code was removed (e.g. the nonworking code to ban people using xray / nightvivision)

Class Changes

• Because of new job laws, most specific titles and jobs have gone. They are Gangster, Mob Boss, Cook, Medic and gun Dealer.
• The government provides greater welfare in Evocity, all citizens now get paid 150T minimum (Perks increase this further)
• A police officer's tokens has also been increased to 170 Tokens due to their upstanding work for the law.
• The Police chief now recieves 180 Tokens.

• Advanced recieve smart cars, which can carry one passenger.
• Police / Chief now have to apply for the Police Job at the Policeman.
• Reduced the wait time to change class to one minute.

Item Changes

• The original workshop owner who worked tirelessly has packed up shop, and moved to Downtown due to being able to sell his products for a higher price there. Because of this the government has enacted the ability for anyone to gather materials how they wish, and to produce them into nearly anything. Greater items will have more requirements.
• You can now craft your items, and then sell them on!
• Drug labs now require items, and also produce an item that can cause various effects. These can be used for medical reasons, or for the sake of just getting high.
• A new loadout of weapons has been discovered and now in use! Each weapon will required to be manufactured.
• If an area is not owned by a corporation, any features it has are open to the public. An example is the forge in MTL Outlands. You can use it, however the government will charge you for it when used.
