Popular YouTuber and gamer Edin Ross has announced ambitious plans for a Grand Theft Auto VI-themed role-playing server, promising players the opportunity to monetize their in-game activities. During an appearance on the FULL SEND PODCAST, Ross detailed his vision for what he claims will be one of the most extensive and high-quality RP projects to date.

Ross stated, "The core focus is immersive role-playing. My server will be unparalleled in both scale and quality. Upon the release of GTA VI, we'll integrate a blockchain-powered economic model. This means players won't just play—they'll actively participate in a real-world economy connected to my platform."
He elaborated that players will earn income through various in-server jobs, subsequently converting those earnings into real-world rewards.
Ross further explained, "My goal is to create an environment where gamers don't just play, but truly inhabit the world I've built."
While the announcement has been met with enthusiasm from some viewers, others have expressed concerns, describing the concept as potentially exploitative or unappealing to traditional gamers. Critics argue that such systems might detract from the core principles of role-playing, which typically prioritize creative expression and immersion over profit-driven mechanics.
Role-playing servers offer players the chance to embody specific characters within carefully defined scenarios, encouraging collaborative storytelling and dynamic player interactions.
