FiveM roleplay is different from SA-MP: most of it happens by voice, in real time, with people around you. These five steps make the first days easier.
Five steps
| Step | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pick a server | Read its rules, community and language. Most roleplay servers need an application (whitelist). |
| Set up your mic | Most FiveM roleplay is voice. If your mic or push-to-talk does not work, you cannot take part. |
| Write your character | Name, age, background and why they came to the city. Not a novel, a person you can play. |
| Learn the rules | Know terms like NVL, RDM and combat logging; most rules are built on them. |
| Start small | On day one look for a job and meet people. Big conflicts come later. |
Voice and text together
Even on voice servers, /me and /do are still used for actions you cannot show with animations. OOC talk usually goes to a separate chat channel.
Vice’s Los Santos side is being prepared on FiveM; the opening will be announced on Discord and on the site.
Vice Roleplay is not affiliated with Cfx.re or Rockstar Games.
