I know why......... someone crashed it, but can I ask is it likely to be fixed & would it be a simple matter of just rebooting it?

I have noticed cars parked where the owners have left them on your server & they don't return to their original point even when the owners have left the server, but when I leave my car it always disappears & returns to where it was when I purchased it, is there a way to store vehicles in chosen locations rather than where they were purchased, if not I think it would make a great feature for an already brilliant server!


Thanks in advance.

Is there any other way of removing then other than being busted?

Ok I have been trying a few different servers available on LU, but I did notice is that I always seem to have a very low ping, everyone elses are in the high tens some even into the hundreds, but mine seems to be 17 all the time, I have been playing on the Aurora server because that one seems to be the most populated, not really sure where that one is based?

I'm in the UK

Hello everyone,

Finally got round to downloading multiplayer for GTA 3, after 7 years lol... I have to say brilliant job that has been done of it, considering that GTA 3 was never intended to be a multiplayer game, I found a server I liked & registered my User name on there, it's called Aurora, not sure if the owner is on this board, as there are a few questions I may have later on...

Anyway look forward to chatting!
