Let me start with this, im not using this website to recruit! I wont even place the website name.. However, I am looking for some guidance. Please excuse my ignorance. I have read several warnings regarding the use of mods in the "online mode". So, with that being said, I have only discovered two ways of playing this game; story mode or online...

 

 I am trying to start my own LSPDFR community. Similar to DOJ or other reputable communities. Do I need to purchase a server? I cannot seem to find server providers for GTA V anywhere. Im not sure how else I can run a community on our own server, while staying within the parameters of not using mods in the online mode. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sadly online play with any modifications including LSPDFR is impossible and possibly ban obtaining. Your best bet is to just get some GTA V multiplayer modification that hosts roleplay servers, and join one and roleplay as law enforcement. OCRP, DOJRP, There are a lot of RP servers that are popular right now but however i believe the player limit is still in the 25-32 area, and it's rather dismal. Compared to San Andreas MultiPlayer (SAMP) Which hosted 500-1000 users all at once on the same server its not much. However as those multiple GTA V Multiplayer Modifications get better you could always host a server on there. Call it whatever you want, set it up however you want with the servers script system. I wish more was possible, but due to Take2 and Rockstar having such a hard on for mods and people having fun and being creative WITHOUT them benefiting financially from it ..-..It wont happen. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but us here are mainly just offline LSPDFR players.

I also want to make something clear, as a lot of people don't understand.  LSPDFR and fivem are two entirely different things, with fivem being an "illegal" GTA online variant and relying solely on roleplay between real people. 

Thank you for the replies, I appreciate the feedback and guidance. I will look into this multiplayer mod aspect and see what can come of it.
