Purchase a business license and rent an available market stall. From there, you can build your business, earn XP and work towards more advanced opportunities.
Business progression is earned through a combination of normal business activity and roleplay.
The COC can award additional XP for meaningful business RP such as events, services, collaborations, community engagement and developing your wider business concept.
Time spent operating a stall is only one part of progression. Businesses are encouraged to get out into the city and create RP around what they are trying to build.
Service-based and other non-standard businesses can work directly with COC.
Visible and consistent RP around your business idea can be rewarded with additional XP where the standard market mechanics do not suit your concept.
The Chamber of Commerce (COC) supports businesses through progression and helps bridge the gap between automated XP and roleplay.
Speak with them about your plans, events or business activity. You can also contact the COC through the City Hall messaging system.
Progressing your business can unlock the opportunity to move into a permanent location or receive more advanced development.
This is not automatically guaranteed at a specific level and will also consider your business concept, activity, RP, available locations and development requirements.
Where The RP Collective already owns a suitable MLO, this may be considered as part of your permanent business.
If you would like a specific MLO that The RP Collective does not already own, you will normally be expected to purchase it yourself. All MLOs are subject to staff review and approval before use and may be rejected due to quality, performance, location conflicts or compatibility with existing MLOs.
We strongly recommend seeking approval before purchasing an MLO. Purchasing an MLO does not guarantee that it will be approved or added to the server.
Yes. Permanent businesses must remain active once granted.
Businesses are expected to complete at least 10 hours of activity every 14 days, spread across 5 separate calendar days. Activity can be shared between the owner and employees.
If activity drops, the COC will normally address this through RP first. Businesses that remain dormant, repeatedly fail to meet the requirement or appear abandoned may be reviewed and repossessed by server administration.
Reasonable exceptions can be made for planned absences or exceptional circumstances where communicated.
PEDs are now locked to specific licences.
If you need your PED sorted, you’ll need to open a ticket so the team can get it set up correctly.
The F1 wheel is commonly referred to as “the radial”.
If someone says “open the radial”, they mean the same menu.

Quick explanation
When Raven City 1.0 launched, the timeline was set so any previous servers existed 5 years in the past, with Raven City 1.0 being present day.
With the launch of Raven City 2.0, the server once again begins at present day, with a 6-month gap between Raven City 1.0 and 2.0.
