The Great Reset

The Great Reset

INTRODUCTION
For a pretty long time we've been planning to perform a player reset. You may have heard rumours of this. The time has finally come.
All players will have most of their account data reset, as if they just joined the server as a new player.

This is something that happens often on other servers, but has never happened on MCNR.
We're calling this The Great Reset, after which we'll be on MCNR version 2.0.

We're doing this for three main reasons:
- To rebalance the economy (property/vehicle prices are simply too low)
- To give players more reason to play (it gets boring when you have achieved everything and have nothing to try for)
- Semi-necessary for script backend changes

Players' initial reaction to this may be negative, but we feel in the long-run it will benefit the server and its players.

The reset will happen this Saturday 20/01/2024.
It's important to note that your account is NOT being deleted, just reset. You'll still join and login as normal.

RIOT MODE
To 'celebrate' the reset, we're going to host 'Riot Mode' for a few days prior to the reset. This starts now!
During this period, there will be no rules in place in regards to who you can attack/kill. Everyone for themselves!
All other rules will apply as usual.

We hope everyone understands why we're doing this and appreciate the potential long-term benefits. See you in-game!


The following things will be reset for all players:
- All cash will be removed, and all players will have $10,000 in their wallet
- Player score/level and job xp/ranks
- Properties
- Owned vehicles
- Inventory & clothing
- Weapons & ammo (including from properties, and confiscated weapons/ammo)
- Stats and achievements
- Daily objectives progress/streak
- Daily login bonus streak
- Weed plants
- Skins and jobs (everyone's skin will be reset to a generic one)
- Accrued payday points
- Jail/ticket status & wanted levels
- Bounties
- Collectables (area exploration, oysters etc.)
- Vehicle export lists
- Player skills, including weapon skills and muscle strength
- Fighting styles
- Health & armour (everyone reset to 100 health and 0 armour)
- Green goo status (must be level 50 to replay)
- Daily gambling allowance
- Kickstart Stadium personal best
- Discord Nitro booster period (if you are a Discord Nitro booster, you'll get your rewards again at midnight)

The following leaderboards will be reset:
- Time trial
- Decathlon
- Kickstart stadium

The following will NOT be reset:
- Account information (passwords, security questions, linked Discord account etc.)
- Settings
- Name change requests/history/limits
- Bans/infractions/PSOs
- Donation status (rewards will be re-given after the reset)
- Friend lists

PRICE INCREASES
In order to improve the 'economy' of MCNR and address the issue of players accumulating tens of millions of dollars with nothing to spend it on, prices have been increased, including:
   - Property prices doubled
   - Vehicle prices increased drastically

SKIN RESET - FIRST SKIN CHANGE FOR FREE
- Due to the fact that everyone's score/level has been reset, all skins have been reset to a basic one.
- Everyone will get one free skin change upon the reset. Visit any clothes shop (/gps clothes) to change skin.
- Donators can use /skin to change skin from anywhere.

EXISTING DONATION REWARDS
Donators will be given back their cash bonus ($10,000 for every 1 GBP donated) and vehicle credits (one for every 5 GBP donated).

DOUBLE DONATIONS
For a limited time, each 1 GBP donated will get you $20,000 in-game cash instead of the usual $10,000.
This rare event will last for 10 days. It will start 3 days before the reset and finish one week after.
NOTE: Cash and vehicle credits gained before the reset will be re-given after the reset, so you lose nothing!

DOUBLE CASH/SCORE EVENT
For the first week after the reset, double cash will be awarded for:
- Cash earned from jobs (including payday)
- Cash from side-jobs, missions, challenges etc.
- Cash stolen from banks, stores, Securicar etc.
- Cash won from betting, including scratchcards and lotto
- Cash for scrapping/exporting vehicles (excluding personal vehicles)
- Cash for daily objectives, achievements, and daily login bonus

You'll also get double score/xp for everything.

RIOT MODE
To 'celebrate' the reset, we're going to host 'Riot Mode' for a few days prior to the reset. This starts now!
During this period, there will be no rules in place in regards to who you can attack/kill. Everyone for themselves!
All other rules will apply as usual.

We're also disabling the daily gambling limit during this time.

SCHEDULE
- The Great Reset will happen this coming Saturday (20/01/2024) - at no specific defined time, but it will be announced a few hours before it happens.
- Riot Mode lasts from now until the reset.
- Double cash/score/xp/donations will start once the reset happens and last 7 days (til 27/01/2024).

HELP AND FEEDBACK
Any questions? Please feel free to ask. We may update this with more information in the future.
For any major changes we'll mention everyone again.

Please note all of this is subject to change. If all goes to plan, the reset will happen on Saturday, but this is not a guarantee if for any reason it isn't achieveable.

TIPS FOR STARTING OVER
We understand that the thought of starting from scratch may seem daunting, but there are many easy/quick ways to earn cash and score on MCNR:
- Earn score and level up, as you'll get cash bonuses for levelling up, and unlock better weapons/vehicles/features.
- Level up your job rank, as you'll get a higher payday payment.
- Complete daily objectives for consecutive days in a row for large cash rewards. See /obj in-game.
- Complete achievements for cash and score rewards. A lot of basic achievements are obtainable again which only take a few minutes!
- Find collectables (gang tags, oysters etc.) as there are 280 to find! You can earn hundreds of thousands from this.
- Do special events such as the Mafia Money Bag event, the Securicar event, Special Cargo Trucking, and Treasure Hunt.
- Play daily for at least 30 minutes to earn the Daily Login Bonus (see /dlb in-game).
- Remember to play lotto often to be in with more chance of winning!
- Complete the 'green goo' event after level 50 for a large cash prize.
  - If you don't know what this is, that sucks for you!
- A double cash/score/xp event will run for 2 weeks following the reset, so get some play time in during that period to take advantage of the bonus!
- Staff will organise events after the reset which will have cash prizes up for grabs.
- Refer players to the server and you both get bonus cash - see mikescnr.com/refer.
- Donate for an extra $10,000 in-game cash per 1GBP donated. See mikescnr.com/donate for more info.
  - During the week before and after the reset, you'll get double the cash, and you'll keep it through any resets!

We hope everyone understands why we're doing this and appreciate the potential long-term benefits. See you in-game!

[Mido]

- Bans/infractions/PSOs

[rogue.]

Think about the clothes part,they cannot be sold and seasonal’s one are like once a year to be found,don’t reset those or at least the seasonal ones.

[franklyn]

Time to leave mcnr WTF
@Mike don't reset money and vehicles plz
Consider this plz or you might lose max player base.
Not acceptable in any way full reset man.
Reset everything except cash veh. Rest everything is OK

[MCNRLOVER42]

😕😕😕😕Don't reset or u will lose a huge amount of player 😟😟😟😟
Some players grind too hard and if they got reset they will stop playing only kids will play who join new you will lose a huge amount of fanbase 😔😔😔

[ShadowWalker]

Even though I just recently gotten 10k :'( lol..  for score I think this would be a great thing to avoid boredom and most of all remember how its like to earn good achievements for each of us! I think it also shows that nothing is always guaranteed as well but to enjoy things while its still here.   

[Ardealul]

@Mike imagine selling donator for real cash and getting all that money taken from you. This great reset is fucking bullshit, you will distroy the server. At start people will play a little more because they want to grind and after 2-3 days they will totally quit. Remove this or post-pone it. Also there is a player who spend like 100$ to buy ingame cash and you gonna reset his money now lol. Don't reset money. Also, "double the price for houses, veh price increase" how is this balancing the economy? This is the biggest bullshit you've done. Also, if you reset my cash, I want to get refunded for all the donators I sold to other people since I wont get to enjoy the cash for it even tho I paid real cash.

[puuro]

make legacy stats atleast

and dont remove event clothing

[Ralsei]

First good thing Mike has done for this server in many years. Anyways just reset the bans cause there's no point in evading If retards will evade and mass unban will happen (They will go back to 0$ assuming their main gets unbanned)

[Devils]

why are clothing items getting reset lol seasonal ones are a pain to get back

[Karbz]

Everything that will be wiped can easily be earned back again, yeah it might take a bit of time but nonetheless it is possible to earn things such as seasonal clothing back again. The wipe is occurring at the perfect time, with Easter just around the corner seasonal clothing will be available during the event. Let us not forget staff do have the ability to give out seasonal clothing as prizes for events (however this will be a rare occurrence).

Make the most of the pre-reset and post-reset events that will be hosted / occurring to capitalise on the bonuses. I will ensure staff are on the ball when it comes to events, but I think you will all be thankful for the reset eventually. No more having players walking around with tens of millions wreaking havoc on the server by suddenly having novices walking around with more money than the San Andreas bank department.

This reset in theory should have happened over a year ago - it also gives the opportunity for better and bigger updates due to backend infrastructure being more supportive. I see many more updates as the year carries on.

ayo SmixY_ can I have a couple o' mill, big dawg?

[Vicio]

Everything good, Just keep the saved outfits please (is hard to make clothes fits in a skin)
Maybe make players able to use the outfits if they have the previous clothes buyed.

[BeyondBirthday]

Do not remove the clothing / outfits please.

[rogue.]

Everything that will be wiped can easily be earned back again, yeah it might take a bit of time but nonetheless it is possible to earn things such as seasonal clothing back again.
