DarkRP: The Complete Guide: Choosing your job

[DelCampino]

Hello and welcome to Cloud Gaming! This guide will teach you all of the information that you will need in order to play on our DarkRP server. As this is a big project, it will be updated every once in a while with a new chapter.

Don't forget that this guide will teach you the ways of DarkRP as it is played on our CG DarkRP Server. Rules and gameplay on other servers might vary. This guide will include everything you need, from base building and making cash, to fighting crime in the city. You will find everything here!
 

Table of Contents:
-DarkRP: The basics and rules-
-Choosing your job-
-Making your first base-
-Making money and how to spend it- 
-Weaponry and self defense-
-Tips and Tricks-
-Tools & Equipment-
 

As I said, I will try and update this guide as much as I can! Starting with Basics and Rules. Our community already has a lot of wonderful guides; and if I want to integrate some, I will first ask permission to the owner of that guide and they will be credited for their help. The goal of this is that new players are able to go and enjoy the full RP experience after reading this, and minimizing the amount of rules being broken.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the guide!
