Ross envisions a server unparalleled in scale and quality. He plans to integrate blockchain technology to create a robust in-game economy, allowing players to translate their virtual earnings into real-world rewards. His statement:
"The focus is pure role-playing. My server will be unmatched in scale and quality. With the release of GTA 6, we'll introduce a blockchain-based economic system. Players won't just play—they'll participate in a real economy supported by my platform."
Players will earn income through various in-server jobs, subsequently converting their virtual wages into tangible rewards outside the game. Ross's goal:
"My aim is to build a space where gamers don't just play but truly inhabit the world I've created."
The announcement has generated mixed reactions. While some viewers are enthusiastic, others express concerns, viewing the monetization aspect as potentially exploitative or alienating to traditional gamers. Critics argue that such profit-driven mechanics could detract from the core values of RP gaming—creativity and immersive storytelling.
Role-playing servers offer players immersive, character-driven experiences, guided by established rules, promoting collaborative narratives and dynamic player interaction.
