Popular YouTuber and gamer Edin Ross announced ambitious plans for a Grand Theft Auto VI-themed role-playing server, promising players the chance to earn real-world money from their in-game activities. During an appearance on the FULL SEND PODCAST, Ross detailed his vision for what he claims will be one of the most expansive and high-quality RP projects ever undertaken.

Ross stated, "The core focus is immersive role-playing. My server will be unparalleled in both scale and quality. Upon the release of GTA VI, we'll introduce a blockchain-powered economic model. This means players won't just play—they'll actively participate in a real-world economy integrated with my platform."
He explained that players will earn in-game currency through various jobs and activities within the server, subsequently converting those earnings into tangible rewards outside the game.
Ross added, "My goal is to create an environment where gamers don't just play, but truly inhabit the world I've built."
While some viewers reacted positively to the announcement, others expressed reservations, voicing concerns that the monetization model might be exploitative or alienate traditional role-playing gamers. Critics argued that such systems could detract from the core values of RP gaming, which typically prioritizes creative expression and immersive experiences over profit-driven mechanics.
Role-playing servers offer players the opportunity to inhabit unique character-driven scenarios, guided by established rules and guidelines, encouraging collaborative storytelling and dynamic player interactions.
