Welcome to Roleplay Project
Brand new? Start here. Connect to the server, create your account, get into character.
Roleplay Project is a text-based GTA V roleplay server running on RAGE Multiplayer. The core idea: every interaction is in-character, every consequence sticks, every story is shaped by the people you meet.
What you need
- A legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto V on PC.
- The RAGE Multiplayer client — free, download here.
- A keyboard with at least a basic working understanding of English; everything in-character is text.
Connecting
Once RAGEMP is installed:
- Launch RAGEMP (it'll patch GTA V the first time — leave it to finish).
- Click Direct Connect.
- Enter
play.roleplayproject.net:22005. - Press Connect.
The first connection downloads our server's modded assets. It's a one-time download (~a few hundred MB) — subsequent connections are quick.
First-time account setup
When you connect for the first time, you'll be walked through:
- Account creation — pick a username and password. The username is your out-of-character identity; you'll use it on the website's UCP and in our forum.
- Email verification — we'll send a 6-digit code to confirm your address. Check spam if it doesn't arrive within a minute. Codes expire in 10 minutes.
- Character creation — name, gender, appearance, backstory. Take your time on the backstory; it shapes how staff and other players engage with you.
After that you'll spawn at the LSIA arrivals area with a small starter cash balance and a phone in your inventory.
What to do first
- Press F1 to view a starter help overlay.
- Press M to open your phone — your in-game contacts list, banking app, and messaging.
- Use
/helpin chat any time for a list of commands. - Walk to a 24/7 store and look at the door prompt — most interactables show a "Press E to…" overlay when you're close enough.
Roleplay basics
- Always stay in-character unless you're using OOC commands like
/b(local OOC) or/pm(private OOC). /me <action>for actions:/me lights a cigarette and exhales slowly./do <description>for narrating something a player can't see otherwise:/do The bag contains roughly $400 in cash./b <message>for short OOC asides — keep these brief and only when needed.
A full command reference lives in Roleplay → Commands.
When you're stuck
- Server bugs:
/reportto flag a bug or/adminfor live admin help. - OOC questions: Discord —
#helpchannel. - Game-mechanics question: browse these docs first; the system you're using probably has its own page.
Welcome. Have fun. Don't break character.
