I have been playing Godfather Platinum, I spoke with Krayzie Jackson in vent there is so much that server has to offer and it is so god damn under rated, I played there 2-3 days and already think it is 10x better than WTFMan.
The three admins there are;
-Krayzie Jackson (owner)
-Phats_Jackson (Krayzie's IRL brother)
-Heather_Jackson (Krayzie's wife)
Good admins, helped me out whilst I was just starting up, and here is what I have found out / had explained to me.
Fishing system, possibly the BEST fishing system in sa-mp, you buy a fishing license, with this you can then go on to purchase; bronze silver or gold rod (obviously the more expensive rods catch the better fish) 2 different types of bait all of which affect your fish sizes, basically the old bugy godfather script fishing where you need to wait 20minutes to fish has been completely re-written.
Arms dealer system is mats, but alot more complex, I havn't tried it, but Krayzie talked about implementing a trailor for mat runs and it gradually fills up and up, and then you could just blow up an enemy gang members mat truck and go in with your truck pick up his trailor and take all their materials.
Coding is so much better than WTFMan EVER was.
Fill out a form and Krayzie will code you in a house wherever you want, with whatever interior with whatever house car, no OOC money situations, no premiums, he is not doing it for the money, you could donate 5 000 dollars real life cash and you would gain no advantage over any other player in any way at all, which I think is good, since all WTFMan care about is donators sinse 20 - 30 of them houses coded out of 100 where donator only houses.
http://forum.sa-mp.com/index.php?topic=62141.0I definitly think it is worth a try, this server deserves to be big, If it's cool with you guys I think we should atleast check it out, alot of work has gone into this server I can see that just playing there 3 hours or less.
There are currently no gangs on there now, I really think that server deserves and needs to be popular, the most unselfish server owners I have ever talk to, I can't help but go into a long post now ;(
Let me explain the fishing system in detail-
Without a license;
You can fish, you won't catch anything special maybe 20-30Ibs.
When you get a license;
You purchase a fishing license and it expires after 5 hours game play.
Perks to a license;
Availaible to purchase;
bronze rod
silver road
gold road
{each one brings bigger fish}
also availble is
bait
max TM bait
and some really good bait
You spend money on equiptment but my god you definitly make it back, there are 10 skill levels to fishing as aposed to 5.
I just look back on WTFMan, all them bugs that were there the hole time, and the ones they just took their sweet time fixing, and here is Krayzie, re written the entire godfather code, doesn't care about premiums whatsoever, just wants to see players having fun.
I think if everyone agrees we should try it, but Godfather Platinum is something special and certainly the best RP server I have ever played on with terms to coding, administration and attitude.
They are certainly no sell outs *cough* VD *cough*
It is a bit more strict RP than WTFMan was, but we always had reason to kill someone, I think one of the things we can't do is just check tab and go hunt enemy colors, they call it 'meta gaming' I thought fair enough, also, ANY house you want if we code it ourselves, Krayzie will put it in for us, provided we pay IG cash for it.
Custom gang HQ, You can code this, with custom interior and cars, we can pay IG cash for a heli, rather than real life money donations.
I think Krayzie is enforcing FirstName_LastName format, so I dunno if he will make an exception or not for "Puck" for example.
This is the best way to get started:
1) Purchase a Map from noob spawn
2) Purchase a fishing license + get a street sweeper
3) Do fish runs in street sweeper until you have 15k
4) Go to angel pine bait store and use /buybait 3 /buybait 4 which gives you a golden rod and the best bait
