Good afternoon!
With the release of San Andreas Multiplayer 0.2.2, it's quite obvious that we had to update to this new version. In order to bring you all the new features as soon as possible, we've upgraded the Las Venturas Playground server to version 2.8 of the gamemode now. As with every new version, this brings a big set of new features. To give you a small overview;
Next to this gamemode update, we've also increased the player limit of Las Venturas Playground again. A total of 150 players can now join LVP at the same time, increasing your potential victims even more and making the minigames even more exciting. Also, all moderators on the server have been promoted to Administrators due to a change in our organization. As usual, please report all bugs you can find in the forums meant for that, or visit us on IRC (#LVP on irc.gtanet.com)!
Have fun playing on the renewed Las Venturas Playground!

A few minutes ago, the San Andreas Multiplayer team has released version 0.2.2. New features include synched head-movements, a bunch of added skins and you're capable of phoning other people. Offcourse, Las Venturas Playground has an gamemode update hanging around using these new features.
We will update the server soonish, on a moment that as little players as possible have any inconvenience of the update. The new, updated gamemode will be included in this update, so you will be able to use the new features as soon as possible. We've listed a list of changes in the quote below here, also check the SA-MP website and forums for more information about this release.
SA-MP AntiCheat
With the come of this new version, the San Andreas Multiplayer team has released a new version of their anti-cheat. All persons played on anti-cheat protected servers while cheating will loose all their privileges of playing on many large servers, with no chance for an unban, including on Las Venturas Playground. The Anti-Cheat created by the team is fail-safe, this means that if you get banned, it's 100% certain that you have been cheating. Think about this if you are considering to try cheats, it might ruin more then you like. Click here for more information.
See you around on Las Venturas Playground 2.80 and SA-MP 0.2.2!

For the last 276 days, starting on the 18th of November last year, we've been stressing our current Mobile Sempron CPU to the limits, resulting in a lagfest at busy times on Las Venturas Playground. After some discussions with GTA-Host, we've come to to the conclusion that there's only one proper way of solving these problems: moving to a new server.
A couple of days ago, GTA-Host has presented us with a new, shiney Xeon server to cover the ever-growing needs of the LVP Server. The Management has worked quite hard to get it ready, and we're now at a point that the move can start happening. The new IP of Las Venturas Playground will be 85.17.200.150 : 7777, with an increased player limit resulting in a total of 125 player slots!
Next to that, our developers have worked very hard lately to present you with the latest version of our gamemode. With alot of bugfixes and new features, version 2.75 of Las Venturas Playground will be waiting for you on the new server (Changelog)! The server move will happen later today, we're currently finishing the latest bits related to moving.
Thank you for playing on Las Venturas Playground,
