We at Asylum Entertainment are very excited to tell you, our community, how you will be able to get into the game sooner than you think! Identity's modules are small portions of Identity which will be released before Identity is ready for the world. This lets you experience part of the game months sooner than otherwise possible. The first module you'll be getting your hands on is a social environment which we've called Town Square. The Town Square will include all major social components, and will allow you to finally create and customize your characters. You can meet hundreds of new people and explore several cool features of the peaceful city life. For more details on Town Square, check out the modules page on the Identity website. Following the release of Town Square you'll experience SWAT player versus player action and eventually vehicle races of all sorts. We'll be bringing you more information on the modules as they progress!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: We are not like any other gang, if anything we are closer to a mafia. We are just a group of criminals carrying out crimes. We do not like to identify as a gang as most "gangs" are usually extremely unorganized and careless about crimes. We are the polar opposite. 1. Drug Trafficking 2. Thievery / Robbing 3. Assasination / Hitmen 4. Hijacking 5. DRUG MANUFACTURING We will need workers to fill these spots when the game comes out, these players must have sufficient vehicles to transport and/or produce our goods. There will be lots of these spots available as we will have many people manufacturing drugs. If you are interested in this job, you may consider running the drugs with 2 people just in-case anyone tries to rob you, you have backup and it lowers the risk of being robbed and losing our drugs. If you are robbed and decided to risk the run without backup, and you lose our drugs, you will have to pay with your own funds. If you do not have sufficient funds, you will work all high risk jobs, until you can pay off what you have lost to the company or either receive a strike. If you are interested in applying for this position please post that you would like to be drug trafficker, and what you have to offer. We will need an EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE FOR THIS job. You guys will manufacture the drugs for the drug traffickers/producers. This job is fairly simple and will provide you protection from other players when in this group, we will take over and be the largest. So there would be no worries about anyone stealing your money or taking your vehicles etc. because we will be the ones doing it. If any rival gangs interfere with our work, we will eliminate them. We will take over their territory and work. If they do not bother us, and do not try to distribute or produce on our territory. We will not bother them unless they start causing trouble, or we need new land. haha We will be producing all of the drugs available, some may be less risk than others and this will determine your amount pay and protection in the group. If you are interested in applying for this position please post that you would like to be drug manufacturer, and what you have to offer. We do not need a large amount of these but they would be good for quick and easy money. We will need a few groups of sophisticated players, that are good in devising quick plans and being stealthy. You will be matched with other players within the group to complete the robbery. There will be higher ranked members deciding who you will go and complete the robbery with. You can suggest a player or players to rob with and he will most likely allow you to. But if you come back with a failed robbery due to the player you decided to choose, you will get a strike. We will also need highjackers, to bring in our drug trafficking vehicles and luxurious vehicles to flaunt our wealth. We will need a few of these also, they will not be working solo ever! You will always be grouped with other players. We will let the strike system start once the group is started and has been running stable for about a week or 2. We will provide more details to robbing when we find out more info about it. If you are interested in applying for this position please post that you would like to be robbers, and what you have to offer. People like personal revenge, so they put out hits on other players. We will need some people to complete these contract kills, we will have a small organized team to complete these tasks when needed. They will need to be stealthy about it, so they do not know who and what group has completed the hit successfully. We need to stay under the radar. These people need to be smart and stealthy. If you are interested in applying for this position please post that you would like to be assassin, and what you have to offer. Ranks will be established once we get a feel for the game, but for now we will have basic ranks below. Once you are available for a rankup there will be a small fee that must be paid to either a general or the leader. Recruit Apprentice Corporal Sergeant Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Age Requirement: 16+ (some acceptions if you are mature) You must have TeamSpeak You need to be mature and serious. Must be dedicated to one group/gang and one group/gang only, The Traffickers. You must not leak our activities and plans to other gangs or players outside of The Traffickers. Do not apply if you do not agree with the following above. Now if you are interested, apply with the following form. Job you would like (first choice): Job you would like (second choice): Job you would like (third choice): Age: How many hours a week will you be able to contribute to The Traffickers? Are you an avid "life" server player? Will you take this group seriously? Do you agree to take ANY orders from a General ranking or the Leader? (Orders received will not be breaking any Identity RPG rules or ToS.) What do you bring to The Traffickers?

@Notering Yes well me and Notering have had a....past of derailing threads.

I think it's a fantastic idea but it needs to be limited. At most I think crime tape is a fantastic idea to RP a crime scene. As for shells on the floor, think about the lag. Detectives might not get around to that area for hours, and there's just gonna be shells strewn all across the map. You might want a little button for example which might say "Examine area" - Exclusive to law enforcement only of course. From there it could be like a little text adventure mini game > Examine Area > There are some foot prints here. There are two bullet casings off to the side. > Examine foot prints > The foot prints appear to be male. > Examine bullet casing > It is a 9mm shell. > Take bullet casing. > Bullet casing taken. Alternatively if you're a criminal, it might be possible for you to throw some dirt on your tracks and pick up the casings with you when you go. Now of course this won't be the case with literally EVERY shooting or mystery that takes place. Maybe there could be a little RP system in place where a criminal could send an OOC invite to a law enforcement agency to start the investigation. The criminal would have to commit a crime, and the police would have a pre-determined amount of time to solve the mystery and find the culprit. If the police are successful, the criminal goes to prison. If the police AREN'T successful, the criminal would gain some xp, money, etc. And to prevent any MGing, when the criminal sends the invite the source would be "anonymous". *whew* I wrote that in class.. Okay bai!

Hey guys, we know now what'll happen if your character gets a little too thirsty/hungry. *click*

That is, even if you can pass the test to become an officer, do you have what it takes?

I'm going to be a stripper in identity and I'll play as a female I am female in real life and I hate playing as male characters. When I roleplay I have to relate to my character- that's why I always make them tall, pale and plump. I can't relate to a penis-creature. v.v

I'd be more inclined to support a one prison per server idea. But as you've suggested on each level inside the prison different classes. LEVEL 1 - Remand/Petty criminals LEVEL 2 - Burglary and drug dealers LEVEL 3 - Murderers and crime lords.

They could stream radios in the prison using the computer as well so prisoners are kept up-to-date with news happening in the real real world, or listen to an Identity radio station stream, where they can listen to news happening in the server. Players could call into the (Identity) station and pretend to give shoutouts to their friends at work, or in prison, and pass on subliminal messages.

Harmonicas! Prisoners could have their own karaoke nights! And dropping soaps. Oh yeaaah~

This also happens the most replied to introduction post xDDD. The community is as active as ever lol.

So we all know cars that have been left by their owners is a b***h that's why I was wondering if there is gonna be a way to get rid of them. It would be great if the police had a way to temporarily lock a vehicle so that a towing company could be contacted and come to get the vehicle. This could be used in different situations suits as a normal illegally parked vehicle or in a case when a officer has caught a speeder and he is not allowed to drive anymore. The towing company will then get a payment when the owner of the vehicle retrieves it and the police will have a easy and effective way of getting rid of them, much like how it works irl. This might already have been taken into thought but if not I think its worth a shot. Just leave other suggestion regarding if you have any.

Hey guys! I enjoy this site so much more than the other site. Great job John & Crew!. So i was wondering if you guys have thought much on rare items? That you could find on random locations and maybe profit. Much like WoW but in this category of games. Anyways keep up the great job! Peace.

Hi Me I'm dad. Stupid jokes and stupid humor is my thing.

False: You can see the present but not the past, you needed me to tell you that

Lol, so many threads we derailed in the past...

@Kickapoo Hands off my sweet roll, thief!

Ill have some duck and plum sauce on mine, after I have gunned you down with my shotgun. Here ducky ducky!

I'll join in too. how does popcorn work again?

I approve of this post!

I guess there would have to be one since if you died and you were a rich son of a gun it would all be lost. Also getting paid would be done by a bank I presume since who would want to have to go to a place on the map to get paid every so often. I would also predict the bank be run by NPCs mainly but could perhaps have a small amount of user input, say bank clerk or security since an NPC can't RP being robbed

The farming thing is just a forum title. Dunno how they work but my crime syndicate works better. ( No offense lmao ) So if you want a job as bouncer, driver or really mostly anything then sure. I can fix it.

You are a smaller but more greedy version of me. I like it. Want a job?

There definitely will be in-game aspects that you can grind- probably if you want to upgrade your career trait you'll have to do action X Y number of times, but unlike other games- in Identity grinding will be optional. In most MMORPGs you have to grind because a quest tells you to or because your level is too low for a quest, and you don't have much to do apart from questing or crafting. In Identity you can do whatever- watch a movie, hangout at a cafe, sing at karaoke club, dance, rob a bank, kidnap a wealthy lawyer, paint, learn how to play a guitar, go to a party etc. If you want to achieve something fast and you feel like you MUST have that thing- you can grind, but you really don't have to and the game won't force you to focus on one task. You won't be homeless from the start. You'll get a "newbie apartment", probably something small and basic with one bed, a shower, a toilet, a fridge, a wardrobe and some cupboards. Since apartments and houses also work as storages, new players would be at a huge disadvantage if they started as homeless people! Remember that when you die you drop everything you had on you (except for clothes), but all the things left at your house/apartment are always safe. So far the beginning looks like THIS.

Oh I'd like to see that.

GL mate, I don't have Instagram. >.>

Ahh okay, it takes a while for the system to recognise the pledges and usually takes a day or so to show up on your account. Others are having the same issue of it not showing up immediately. If it doesn't show on your account here then message one of the moderators on the forum here. Welcome again man.

Happy New Year @MaxRoccat and welcome to the new and improved website/forums man! I also have fond memories of Pac Man Quick question, did you have any troubles signing up and claiming your pledge from Kickstarter on the new website?

LIFE INSURANCE If "getting protection" from gangs or families that protest to ally with you and thus "insure the safety of you and your family" doesn't intrigue you, players should be given the option to purchase life insurance. Possibly from the state or this could be another business opportunity? In the untimely event of your death, your selected insurance package would kick in and you'd be given a statement of affairs: value of insurance paid to you, value of items on person, and even value paid to you/your Estate upon the successful conviction of the murderer. Insurance options should be available to those who want to live a trouble free life, if they can afford it. A Full life coverage (a high weekly/monthly premium that revives you after 30 minutes, spawning at your apartment, then distributes the amount of your life insurance plus market value of items on you) B Death only (revives you after 30 minutes spawning you at your apartment and distributes your life insurance amount) C Medical only (revives you after 30 minutes in spawn spot, kind of like raising the dead) Players can only be eligible for payout of their insurance claims after a certain time, however if death were to occur before the eligibility date; their total premiums would be reimbursed in full. After you've claimed on insurance because of your death, you'd have to take out a brand new insurance policy and go through the wait period to be eligible again. HOME & CONTENTS INSURANCE Insuring your home and contents (cars, clothing, phones and other items) will ensure that in the case of a break in, home invasion, theft or accident - you can be assured your home and contents are covered. Full market values of home and contents returned to the player - however, if the player is suspected of fraud, by organising a robbery of their home to claim on insurance, will be investigated by the insurance company (or Police)? Same weekly/monthly premiums as life insurance.. These are just ideas... would love to discuss more!

Car explosions and theftwould likley mean you would need to make a claim with the insurance company, with the posibility of fees

Updated thread, graphics have been added.

Hah, that too!

Sounds good. I hardly visit Twitch at the moment, but it would be great to get people playing Identity on there in the future.

Exactly! What are they doing, harvesting farts?

Saxophones, Drums, trumpets, bassguitars, Imagine a big orcest in the middle of Town Square, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !

my personall method of torture will be to throw them into the Sarlacc, where you will find a new definision of pain and suffering as you are slowley digested over 1000 years....

A PIANO! AND A VIOLIN! YES! YES! YEEESH! I want classic music! Ah! Sitting on a nice chair with classic music, whiskey and cigar! Oh! How I look forward to this.

The trains cannot be controlled only because a lot of player may rely on their schedule and giving control of that to players would cause all kinds of problems if a griefer got behind the... stick? The trains are not instant travel, but they're fast. They are actual trains driving through the land on a set schedule.

So I was thinking it might be kinda hard to start up a new company for some people when there might already is a ton of other carpenters out there. Or you might just be a company that wants to tell the world about the fantastic offer you have on fertilizer. Maybe it would be a idea to have signs, road signs, posters, elektronik posters etc spread around the huge Identity world. You would then be able to rent one of these for a chosen period. Then there's 2 ways of making the image you want up. 1.: Ingame program for simple text and boxes.. or 2.: you upload a picture you made. Either way you would probably need some kind of moderation of it so you dont end up with 10 posters of dicks. But there's probably some devs out there that knows how this could be implemented best. This way you would still be able to show the world your company when you are not online and let people know of what you do unique. What do you all think?

i think that a finite amount of bilbordes plotted around the map with the image quality lowered would be good. at least then they can controll how much memory is needed

I post highlights from the stream on YouTube.

Sex.

I pledged $30 when I first saw identity on kickstarter. I now want to pledge more money so I can get some extra in game features. Is there any way I can go from 30-100 without paying a whole $100. Is there any way to just up my pledge $70?

Thank you for all the replies.

what about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1GadTfGFvU ?
