Are You Going To San Fierro?

9 08 2008
Hello Community Members,
I’m pleased to officially announce that shortly our SA:MP server which has over the last six months increased in popularity, will be expanding to San Fierro. I know some of you may have heard a rumor about this, so this is basically the official seal of approval.

Valhalla on SA:MP started 17 months ago, as an Los Santos only roleplay server, then expanded to SF in late June 2007. The server moved back to Los Santos fully in October of 2007 where it has stayed up till now. The community is in a great position and this move will include something for everyone.

However, this will not be an overnight move. The expansion will be done over a series of patches over the coming weeks/months, as we believe this will be the best way to guage
the success of such an expansion.

Some of the things to look forward to in the future
..

  • The return of the taxi faction, but it will also be a business.
    The owner will be responsible for hiring and firing the select cabbies.
  • Yakuza - The White Lotus are moving back to Chinatown.
  • No more spawning on the other side of town or in the country.
    Two spawns, Jefferson Motel (LS) and The Van Koff Hotel (SF).
  • All the businesses fixed. No more bugged Gas Company, or businesses with no interiors.
  • The RCSD are becoming the San Fierro Police Department.
  • The Ambulance faction will be better catered for.
  • New occupations - both legal and illegal.
  • Cheaper car modification - Nitrous, Hydraulics etc..
  • More Businesses for Non-Donators.

To Factions..

  • If you wish to relocate to San Fierro, let me know via PM.
    However if you are a gang, please do not PM as me, as we’re not relocating them at this time.
    Its more for Mafias and factions such as SAM-ERS, News etc.
  • If you’re seeking faction upgrades, also PM me.
  • Any problems with your faction also, feel free to PM me.

To Donators..

  • If you require your house or business relocating to San Fierro
    , then feel free to contact me and we’ll see what we can come up with.

To Everyone..

  • There will be no statistics wipe of any sort.
  • Please be patient. This is going to take alot of work and thought, but it will in the end benefit everyones roleplay experience, i promise.
  • Feel free to air your views on the expansion here, but please don’t post suggestions at this time.
