🛠 Server Update! 🛠

After the completed beta testing of technical fixes, additional changes have been made that helped eliminate the issue with unexplained player reconnects from the server.

🌅 Storyline update for beginners:

• The initial path for new players has been reworked. Now it's not just a set of chat messages, but a clearer chain so that a newbie doesn't get lost after registration and gradually gets acquainted with the server's main systems.

• Mentors (using names of old GW players) have been added to the initial path; they accompany the player through stages: documents, medical card, driver's license, first vehicle, quests, backpack, fishing, clothes, first house, and a final introduction to the project's features. Tasks are now explained not only with a short line in chat but also with proper dialogues.

What has changed and been added:

• Character gender selection added.

• After a newbie spawns, everything is displayed correctly; messages are not interrupted and appear sequentially.

• The confusing message about healing upon spawn has been removed.

• After choosing a skin, the newbie receives a starting direction to the first mentor (Nickos_Colombo).

• The visual chain for obtaining a passport, medical card, and driver's license has been altered.

• After getting the license, the player receives their first personal car, a Virgo, along with hints about the garage, parking, keys, and vehicle registration.

• The stage with jobs (factory, quarry) has been replaced with quests: "Egg Collection" and "Alcohol Factory".

• For newbies of levels 1-3, an exception has been added for completing the "Alcohol Factory" without being in a mafia (tips for completing the quest have also been added).

• Explanations have been added to the story about why the backpack is needed, how to fish, buy a house, vehicle, and other basic systems.

• A medium backpack is available for newbies for just $1.

• Tips added via /helpnew if the player forgets what to do next.

• GPS markers should now correctly place and be removed after arrival.

• A new moped rental point added after delivering a drink from the factory to the restaurant.

• Improved hints after purchasing fishing gear, catching, and selling fish.

• After re-logging/crashing, the newbie clearly continues from the stage they were at.

• Completing each stage grants $25,000 and 2 respect points.

• Final messages added after completing the initial path.

🎣 Fishing and weekly top fixes:

• Fixed the operation of zones with increased catch (when entering such a zone, the player now receives a notification about the bonus).

• For weekly tops (TOP-10) of fishing, mining, and lumberjacking, rewards for 1st-3rd places have been added (corresponding rewards are described near the TOP boards).

• Players in the TOP (1st-3rd places) receive bonus DP and a Bonus Case before the weekly reset.

• Fixed the operation of the golden fishing rod (previously the increased catch and durability didn't work).

• Fixed the drop chances for the golden fish.

• The fishing gear purchase menu should no longer refresh every few seconds while the player stands on the pickup.

• Added the /gwlonline command to view players playing via the GW Launcher.

📻 New features for the GWFM leadership:

• Full GWFM management menu added (previously only management of the roster was available).

• GWFM warning system (reprimands) added. Upon receiving three or more, the rDJ leaves the roster.

• And other features that will remain available to the leadership.

🔧 Mechanic system updated: now mechanics on duty (/duty) will receive orders to deliver broken cars to the garage in LS, SF, or LV depending on where the player hooked up the vehicle.

For Farmers and Flaming Cobra Gang, access to the bank robbery quest has been restored without increasing respect.

Enjoy the game! 🎮
