The server crashed again ?

[Gandalf]

Put IV server back up gandalf my bro

As soon as I get the go-ahead from the IV team

[Zaila]

Wow, that is horrible. Does that mean that everything that happened in RS4 in the past 4 months has been wiped? Damn, thats a shitty ass occurance.

Yes, that is why we decided to get RS5 out as fast as possible and to have it on the main IP and port.

Further, we have noticed that a number of people seem to think it is ok to flame one server and invite to another. Even if it is within Argonath, you may find yourself banned from both if you continue.

Hello Gandalf, I have a question regarding RS4. Will RS4 will soon re-open or we just have to play RS5 now?

It's only RS5 now. RS4 era is over.

Thank you sir. I have one more question regarding SAPD. What is the way of SAPD in RS5?

[Axison]

Thank you sir. I have one more question regarding SAPD. What is the way of SAPD in RS5?

You join SAPD as soon as you pass the police test(in-game), ARPD is over.

Anyone can sit the in-game test if they pass they will become a SAPD Officer, the only noticeable changes to this is - No more "freecops", all cops names will be the same dark blue color and every cop will fall under SAPD regulations and procedures(?).  If people wish to rank up in SAPD they WILL have to take a interview and hope for the best from there.  Some asked why they don't get SMG now they are a SAPD Officer, well neither does anyone else this may change and be limited to Senior Officers though that's still to be decided and if even possible.  Same with the /siren ability I don't know what's planned for that but I do hope it's restricted to a certain rank as-well.

SAPD hope to release more information on changes within the department soon, so keep an eye on the ARPD Forum meanwhile.

Sooo, The server is down again.. When will the stable server be online?

The server is stable, the downtime is caused by script malfunction, which is the whole point of the beta. The more server crashes we get now, the less of them we'll be getting later.

Wait what? You guys don't have freecops anymore? O.o

Is that to be expected on the IV MP or is it up to our leaders to decided?

[Afyea]

It's down now? Or i got wrong ip?

[Ben.]

To clarify...

1. We haven't had Freecops for a year or more now - the whole point of ARPD Officers was to try and remove the discrimination.
2. The change to SAPD Officers is not to limit RPing cops - the only difference is there is a small course in the script to do before you can start patrolling.
3. The ARPD is not over - Our beloved ARPD Commissioner is still ruling over the SAPD and FBI. The new SAPD Officers were renamed, pretty much, which stops any confusion about authority between ranks!

I hope this is useful...if I am wrong, someone please correct me
