Renowned YouTuber and gamer Edin Ross recently announced an ambitious new project during his appearance on the FULL SEND PODCAST: a GTA 6-themed Role-Play (RP) server. Ross envisions this server as one of the most expansive and high-quality RP environments to date, promising players a unique opportunity to monetize their in-game activities.

"The focus here is all about role-playing. My server will be unmatched in size and quality. When GTA 6 drops, we’ll introduce an economic model powered by blockchain technology. This means players won’t just play—they’ll participate in a real economy anchored by my platform."
Ross detailed how participants could earn income through various in-game jobs and convert these earnings into real-world rewards. His goal is to create an immersive environment where players don't just play, but truly live within the world he's crafting.
"My aim is to build a space where gamers don’t just play but truly live inside the world I’ve created."
The announcement has sparked a mix of excitement and skepticism among viewers. While some are thrilled at the prospect of a new, monetizable RP experience, others have raised concerns, suggesting that the introduction of a profit-driven model could undermine the core principles of RP gaming, which traditionally prioritize creativity and immersive storytelling over financial gain.
Role-Playing servers are known for providing players with character-driven scenarios, governed by strict rules that encourage collaborative storytelling and dynamic player interactions. Critics worry that Ross's approach might shift the focus away from these elements, potentially diluting the essence of what makes RP gaming special.
