Area of Play


What is the Area of Play?

The Area of Play (aka. the "AOP") is the area of the map that you can freely roam and roleplay in.



Why does it exist?​

When the server has a lower population, we implement what we call the "AOP" to keep the players from getting too spread out. The reason for this is that if you're in a smaller area, you will be more likely to see and interact with other players, which can lead to a more enjoyable experience.


What does it look like?​

The AOP is a circle on both your main map and mini-map that is centered and locked to a certain location (for example, Sandy Shores).
In the image below, you can see the AOP is in the Sandy Shores area (the red circle).

Can I Leave The AOP?

Yes, you may leave the Area of Play for any of the following reasons:

  • You are not a far distance from the AOP.
    We allow you to leave the AOP as long as you don't get too far away from it.

  • Customizing your experience.
    You can leave the AOP if you are not actively roleplaying - but would rather customize your experience (creating characters, vehicles, etc.)

  • You're in a pursuit and running from LEO.
    You may only do this if you actively have priority on the server.



Cool, what else can I learn about?

We highly recommend you check out what a Priority is, and how it works.
