Welcome to Dark RP

The short version of what this server is and what to do first.

Guide 00newUpdated 2026-04-27

Quick Start

  • Pick a job, earn money, and roleplay around the city.
  • Use Tab for the main menu: jobs, shop, skills, waypoints, police, and guides.
  • Start simple: Citizen, Miner, Medic, Cook, or Gun Dealer are easy first roles.
  • Buy property or equipment when you have money to protect.
  • Ask in OOC if you are lost. Most systems have a safe first step.

Details

  • Dark RP is a city roleplay sandbox. Jobs give you tools, rules, and ways to make money.
  • Civilian and service jobs are safer. Criminal jobs pay well but attract police attention.
  • Government jobs enforce laws, manage warrants, and keep the city running.
  • Your wallet is spendable cash. Your bank and persistent progress are safer long-term goals.
  • The server is host-authoritative: buttons request actions, but the server validates money, jobs, access, and ownership.

Gotchas

  • Do not assume old GMod DarkRP rules are identical here.
  • Some classic roles are split into clearer jobs, like Weed Grower and Meth Alchemist.
  • Death, arrest, job changes, and disconnects can affect active equipment.
  • If a UI looks empty, check your job. Shops and tools are job-restricted.
