MCNR 5th Anniversary - Giveaway!

MCNR 5th Anniversary
Mike's Cops and Robbers is celebrating its FIFTH anniversary this week!
We're hosting a giveaway including a free month of Discord Nitro, details for which can be found below!
HISTORY
MCNR launched publicly on the 22nd of April back in 2019. It feels like both a lifetime ago and also 5 minutes ago.
MCNR was slowly but surely developed from 2012 to 2019, with the main efforts put in during 2018 and 2019.
I never thought I'd ever get to launch MCNR, and was hesitant to do so due to the fact that SA-MP was on its way out and I doubted it would be successful.
SUCCESS
It's done pretty well, all considered. I've always enjoyed working on MCNR and seeing people having a good time on it, playing with friends and making new ones.
I've really enjoyed having a great team of staff and assistant developers. At times I've felt like I have to do everything by myself, but it's nice to know I have the support of some great people.
While the playerbase peaked during COVID with 139 concurrent players online at our peak, we still have a relatively stable playercase, considering the hosted tab was canned. The main way to keep MCNR playerbase up is word-of-mouth: refer your friends! You'll both get referral bonuses (more info at https://mikescnr.com/refer).
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
It is not a secret that MCNR development has slowed, and updates have become less feature-packed. This is something that really disappoints me, as it does most of the community. It's something that is always on my mind, and I am committed to putting more time and effort into MCNR as and when I am able to. I really value the community and want to do everything I can to make MCNR better and more fun for everyone.
I don't know what the long-term plan for MCNR is. It may include a move to open MP, it may simply continue as-is.
In the short term, we now have a couple of extra developers (Mido and Goldenboy), along with ChrisAg (M3 has left). Between us, we have some ideas for updates in the next few weeks and months which we hope to get completed to improve the MCNR experience. ChrisAg will be working on improved vehicle customisation, I plan to work on heists/robberies and simlar. Mido and Goldenboy will mostly be focused on fixes and QoL improvements, so that myself and Chris can focus on features.
THANK YOU
Thank you to all staff - past and present - for all their efforts in keeping MCNR running and improving.
Thank you to everyone that's ever played on MCNR. Each person that's played on MCNR is one more than I thought there would be!
I will never abandon MCNR, and will continue to work on it for as long as people are interested in playing on it.
See you in 2025 for the 6th anniversary!

Memories
Everyone that entered the giveaway was asked to share a good MCNR memory, and I picked a few out. You can read them below.
--- Quote ---One of my favorite memories on MCNR is just sitting on a rooftop with some friends, watching the city skyline as the sun set. It was a quiet moment amidst the chaos of the game, but it felt like a genuine connection with the game and the community. We didn't need action or excitement to enjoy ourselves; just being together and taking in the view was enough to create a lasting memory.
2019, riding on a boat with a couple og's and admins near pier 69, whenever I think of MCNR I remember that scene
My best memory in MCNR was playing with my friends we even made an unofficial gang Cosa nostra we have an discord and everything even tho its at the most us 6 on in the server its still fun robbing banks and robbing everything we see or just having partys at our houses or even us growing a shit ton of weed i would to see cocaine or meth growing in the future if mike sees this i hope you put that ingame cause it would be a lot of fun
By fishing when i get the caught of the day for the first time and winning the lotto for the first time was the best MCNR memory of mine.
When i was the richest player on the server with 240M and u just took it all out.
my best memory on MCNR is in the Halloween event, especially when you take the curse and you throw it on another player and he will be completely blind xD
When I used to play with Clara Cynthia my bestfriend and Parzival used to be jealous and ask me to ignore her because he loved her but I couldn't since she was my bestfriend in game.
Playing with friends is the best memory, samp is already dead but this is the only server which gives me those classic nostalgia vibes which we used to had in those G(old) days.
Leading Gift hunt leaderboard of 2023
Best memory from MCRN was the first COVID quarantine, march-april 2020, where me and my younger brother played on MCNR for multiple weeks every day, both of us were new players, ranking up, using one car as a getaway vehicle from cops during bank robbery, helping eachother out, those days were the best. 4 years later I am now grinding levels again, and im having a blast.
I came to MCNR to play with my friends that moved to it. So, I guess my best memory is when I was playing with all of them in LS. We were having somewhat of a gang war so we blocked the ganton road to trap the rivals outside and kill them. pretty sure I died and I don't even remember who won that fight but it was Fun.
i Got A lot Memories at Mscnr server also Mscnr is The Best server i had ever play I want to thank Mike and his Team for Making this server The Coolest server and Welcomed to all Players , btw Thanks y'all <3
My best memory was when me and my friend were chased by the Police while we were both most wanted. The police were chasing us by cars, helicopters, planet while me and my friend were on the quads. In the end we were caught but it is still the best memory.
I won lotto twice on the same day and once I won 1.3 million in horse racing and I won about 4 million
I remember back in the days when i was in the group Los Santos BloodZ we joined mcnr discord voice chat and were hanging out in the game while chatting and i remember there were a few players like stylebender, trina, [B]Bode, Pop_Smoke, TheDan and a lot more players (faksy was a cop and he kept bullying us with a rustler)
All of us were on the back of a Dumper truck and Pop_Smoke drove all the way up the Mount Chiliad and then while no one expected it he intentionally drove off the mountain. We were around 15 players a few survived but most of us died and we kept laughing so hard that was the first time i ever played mcnr with my friends while talking in vc and i had fun
