V10 release
Yesterday, 8:25 pm
IM:RP V10 - Releasing this Saturday
New Turfs - Strongholds - Wanted System - Prison Breaks - Marketplace
IM:RP has been around for 17 years now. That is a long time for any SA-MP server to keep going, and it only happened because people kept showing up, creating factions, starting stories, fighting wars, returning after breaks, bringing friends, staffing, developing, and keeping the place alive. So reaching Version 10 feels like a real milestone.
We've combined years of feedback into this release. We heard you when you said turfs were getting boring, so we've rewritten them from scratch. Wars can be a major investment and risk, so we added strongholds for something more impactful than turfs but not as game changing as a war. Selling items has always been difficult, so you can now buy and sell them 24/7 through the marketplace, including OOC items. And sitting in jail has never been fun, so you can now break out of prison and see if you can avoid getting caught.
Finally, we now accept cryptocurrency for any top ups, including Bitcoin and over 300 other cryptocurrencies. Now is the best time to top up, with up to 70% off your premium purchase: https://sa-mp.im/profile/premium
Here is what is new:
Turfs
Turfs are now a faster and more direct version of turf fighting.
Instead of standing around until a takeover timer finishes, these turfs now turn into active siege zones. The attackers have 15 minutes to drain the turf HP to zero. The defenders need to hold the turf until the timer runs out.
- Turf sieges last up to 15 minutes.
- Attackers need enough faction members inside the turf to start.
- The turf HP scales based on defender activity.
- HP drains over time and is affected by kills.
- Attacker kills help damage the turf.
- Defender kills help protect the turf.
- A visible HP bar and timer show the fight's progress.
- RK is allowed inside the active turf zone while the siege is running.
If attackers drop the HP to zero, they capture the turf. If defenders survive the timer, they successfully defend it.

Marketplace
V10 also adds a full player-to-player marketplace.
Players can now create buy and sell orders for tradeable items at marketplace locations around the map. You no longer need both players online and negotiating at the same time for every trade.
- Create buy orders for items you want.
- Create sell orders for items you want to sell.
- Browse items by category.
- Fulfill other players' active orders.
- Cancel your own active orders.
- Marketplace locations show active order counts.
- Offline order fulfillment is supported.
- Marketplace transactions are taxed and logged.
Buy orders take the money upfront. Sell orders take the items upfront. If you cancel an order, the remaining money or items are returned.
Trading happens at marketplace locations, giving the economy a more physical place in the world.

Strongholds
Strongholds are our bigger, heavier faction objective system.
Beta notice: Strongholds are currently in beta and only enabled in Palomino Creek for now. We want to see how the system plays in a real environment before expanding it further.
Strongholds are not meant to replace normal turfs. They are larger faction battles with stages, HP, capture points, supplies, bombs, repairs, and better rewards.
- Strongholds use a 3-stage siege system.
- Stage 1 starts immediately as a surprise attack.
- Stages 2 and 3 are scheduled around faction time windows.
- Attackers must destroy the stronghold HP before time runs out.
- Defenders win if they survive any stage with HP remaining.
- Capture points, demolition charges, supply raids, resupplies, and repairs all affect the fight.
- Owning a stronghold gives faction income, faction points, business tax, and local business discounts.
During active stages, the stronghold becomes a proper conflict zone. Capture points can damage or heal the stronghold, kills affect HP, attackers can plant bombs, and defenders can repair or run supplies.
Rewards include:
- Faction bank income.
- Faction points.
- Business tax inside the zone.
- Member discounts at zone businesses.
- Prize pool payouts from siege spending.

Wanted System
The wanted system has been rebuilt into a proper case-based system for law enforcement.
Officers can now create wanted cases tied to penal code charges. Wanted players can be checked through the MDC, and active cases can be linked directly into arrests.
- Wanted cases store the suspect, issuer, charges, and case details.
- Law enforcement can view active wanted entries through the wanted list and MDC.
- Arrests can pull linked wanted charges into the jail process.
- Linked wanted charges cannot simply be removed during arrest processing.
- Wanted cases are cleared after a successful linked arrest.
This should make investigations and arrests feel cleaner, especially when a suspect has been wanted for specific charges instead of just being chased on memory.

Prison Breaks
Prison is no longer just waiting out the timer.
Players in standard jail can now do prison activities. You can try rehabilitation to reduce your sentence, or take the much riskier route and attempt a prison break.
- Rehabilitation lets prisoners complete a challenge to reduce their sentence.
- Prison breaks require completing 3 harder challenges.
- Successful escapees become fugitives with a bounty.
- Escaped prisoners must avoid capture until the fugitive timer expires.
- If captured, the remaining sentence returns with an extra penalty.
- Law enforcement receives escape alerts and location updates.
A successful escape gives you a chance to get out, but it also puts a target on your back. Police get a bounty reason to hunt you down, and getting caught makes the sentence worse.

V10 is a big step for IM:RP, but it is also a starting point for the next round of balancing, feedback, and improvements. As always, we love to receive your feedback: https://feedback.sa-mp.im/
Reminder: The premium sale is live with up to 70% off, and premium purchases now support Bitcoin plus over 300 other cryptocurrencies.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the server over the years.
See you in-game.
Global War 2026
Yesterday, 8:12 pm
Global War 2026
Global War is back for 2026.
This is the biggest faction conflict on IM:RP: a server-wide war where activity, teamwork, pressure, and consistency decide the result. Every kill matters, every turf matters, and every bad fight can cost your side.
Schedule: Global War starts Friday, July 3, 2026 at 18:00 server time and ends Sunday, July 12, 2026 at 18:00 server time. Get your faction ready and make sure you are online for the opening battles.
This is not a normal faction war. During Global War, the fights will be non-stop and you can really show off your skills.
More details will follow.
Christmas 2025
December 19th, 2025, 2:58 pm
🎄 Christmas has started! 🎄
It's time, the official Christmas event of 2025 is finally here! A few days ago, I asked you for how you wanted the event to be, and I'm happy to report that I took the poll and most of the suggestions onboard. I proudly present to you the latest iteration of the Christmas event and Giftbox system.
No need to shop, instant rewards.
The poll showed that people overwhelmingly preferred an instant gift rather than redeeming candies, so no more waiting to redeem and unwrap your presents. 🎁 You'll get your rewards instantly!
Double the gift boxes, double the rewards!
Some of you said you enjoyed hunting for gift boxes while others said they preferred the system where you just get to open a gift every now and then. So, I thought to myself, why not both? 🤔 You can use /treegift under the tree and /gifthunt to hunt for more!
Embrace the Christmas spirit and work together.
No DM this year, you need to work together. If you stay next to the gift box when you find it, everyone who finds it afterwards will lower your cooldown by 10 seconds (up to 1 minute)! So stick around, honk, use /o and /s, and help other people find it too. 🙂
Want more perks? Become a Premium member at 70% off!
Now is the best time to become a premium member, at 70% off for your first purchase and 20% off the rest. On top of that, money packs are also 50% off. Your gift box hunt cooldown will also be lowered! Go check it out at: https://sa-mp.im/profile/premium
What is there to win?
When hunting gift boxes, you can find any of the boxes and prizes below. When opening a gift under the tree, the longer you wait, the bigger the gift. After 8 hours of waiting you get a guaranteed massive gift!
