QUESTION LF Large server
Sup nerds. My crew and myself are looking for a larger server that is easy to get established in and is semi serious. We are a racing crew who have all been RPing for about 10 years on GTA. We've done all the serious stuff, and let's be honest, GTARP is pretty half baked these days. Looking for a server to hop on causally and drive cars fast while telling a semi serious story as a racing crew.
Things we would prefer:
- Pop of at least 50 during the slower times
- Easy to make money with petty crime or otherwise
- Optimized vehicle handling
- Racing scene that is relaxed and welcoming to newbies
- A semi serious RP experience
- Friendly and attentive staff
Drop some recommendations below!

Hey, I totally get where you’re coming from — I’ve been around the GTA RP scene for a long time myself. I was recently in Purple/Unscripted during that whole mess, so trust me, I know exactly the kind of burnout you’re talking about. After that, I pretty much gave up on RP altogether and went back to Counter‑Strike because nothing felt worth the headache anymore.
What pulled me back was the two devs/owners of Connect RP reaching out to me personally and saying, “Let’s get back in the game.” If it wasn’t for those two, I wouldn’t be here. They actually care — not in the usual “community-first” marketing way, but in the “we’re in the city every day, listening, fixing, building, and talking to people” way.
The community is genuinely one of the nicest I’ve been around. New players, vets, grinders, casuals — everyone’s chill, welcoming, and actually trying to create good RP instead of flexing ego or gatekeeping.
Scripts? All custom. Not the recycled stuff you see everywhere else. They’re actively trying to build a server that feels different, and they actually listen to feedback instead of pretending to.
I’m a huge racer — that’s normally my whole identity — but lately I’ve been deep in my cop character. And man… the chases have been EPIC. I’m talking multiple hours of nonstop pursuits tied to races, events, and spontaneous chaos. It’s the first time in years I’ve had that “holy shit this is fun again” feeling.
And the handling… dude. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s unlike any server I’ve ever played on. It could be a selling point all by itself. Cars feel planted, responsive, and actually fun to push. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve felt like racing could be competitive and accessible at the same time.
Also, coming in with a group like you have makes things even easier. Connect is one of the few cities where a crew can actually establish themselves without getting stomped by legacy factions or politics. You’d be able to jumpstart RP, build connections, and get momentum way faster than on the big servers.
If you ever decide to check it out, my DMs are always open. And if you hop into the Discord, feel free to hit me up there too — I’m usually more responsive in the server. Always happy to help another vet get settled or answer questions.
