Rebuilding Las Venturas Playground's core!

Hello! Yesterday evening we've updated Las Venturas Playground to 6.1.0! This version marks an important milestone in the development of our server, as we're now ready to release a whole new account system, one of the core features of LVP, entirely rewritten from scratch. You probably won't notice a lot of changes, although this system is not only way more stable and consistent, but allows us to implement new features way more easily.
We've rewritten the Ammunation system from scratch. You can access the store through the skull pickups located in most Ammunation interiors. As you probably already know, you can find spawn weapons in any Ammunation store; these special weapons are given back to you upon spawn, and last for the whole length of your game session. We also introduced regular weapons, which are lost upon death, and cost considerably less. Among these weapons, you might find some special ones which aren't available as a spawn weapon: make sure to check them!
We'll keep improving the Ammunation system, and introduce new ways to buy weapons in the next updates.
One thing you've probably noticed is the current gang system. Just like other features, we've scrapped the old code and rewritten it from the ground up. The current system features session-based gangs; this means your gang will last as long as there are members in game. Don't worry, though -- your old gang's data is safe, including the amount of money stored in the gang's bank! We'll restore it as soon as the new, kickass group system is released. Stay tuned!
Update: we've pushed a new version to the server, 6.2.1, which addresses a few minor bugs related to the account and the Ammunation systems.
