You can do everything like in real life....At first u can join a gang or create your own with other members...
You can have your own Bizness, you can buy your own house anywhere [if it isnt bought by sb], you can order your own car from a very big list[ive owned hotring],u can order the color u want for your car, u can have some upgrades like having the gun u want when spawn,more health, and u can olso earn a lot of cash by doing missions[stealing cashboxes-wanted cars, doing streetraces, or deathMatches][its only on mission but not when u chill in game ]
So by wining missions you can be next lvl(/buylevel) [check your lvl by /level] and so u can enter more upgrades and houses...etc
--We need more players so it ll be better if you stay on server as an official gang member after reaching lvl5--
