One of the features that you guys have been consistently asking for over the last few months is Clubs, and we’re very close to getting them in game! Clubs are currently in testing for the next update that will be coming very soon.

What makes Clubs special? Each Club can be unique with four themes as the base and a ton of customization options ranging from furniture to vendors to strippers. That’s right, strippers!

Clubs can be purchased for Gold Bars by a gang leader and opened up as a separate area attached to the gang hideout. The gang leader can make the Club closed so only gang members can get in, or open, so anyone can join the party. A gang has to be level four to have a Club and the purchase is made through the Secretary in the gang hideout. Once purchased, the gang leader or anyone in the gang with the right permissions can use the Club Manager inside the Club to customize the Club look and the party setup.

The four themes are Underground, High Tech, Classic and Modern. Underground clubs are the least expensive with Classic clubs the costliest. Customization options include rare clothes, boosts and weapon vendors, furniture items such as tables and chairs, sofas, armchairs and more where players can sit and hang out and pole dancing girls. These customization options are sold for Gold Bars. The Club can also have a bar with a Gold Bar vendor who sells specialized boosts that increase XP gain or loot chances.

Once the gang leader is satisfied with the look of his club, it’s time to get the party started! To start the party, the gang leader chooses Open or Closed. If the party is Open, the gang leader can set a ticket price. This admission price, charged in in-game cash, is deposited in the gang bank whenever anyone pays to get into the party.

In addition to the rare item vendors, the Bartender, social areas and dancing girls, there’s one more feature coming in Clubs that will get everyone talking: The VIP Room. In this private room, accessible through the VIP Porter/Bouncer on the dance floor, partiers get a one-on-one dance with a random girl or one they design themselves. Players are charged in Gold Bars to visit the VIP Room.

Clubs are rented for a one-month period, after which they can be renewed at the gang leader’s option.
