STAGE 4 - SweptThrone - 01-Oct-2025

Today, Infiltrator closes and STAGE 4 begins.  The magnum opus, introducing The Big Apple!

The Big Apple is a unique DarkRP experience where you will be able to play among three separate servers each running a separate map!  With data and chat shared among all three, The Big Apple offers one of the largest roleplay experiences on Garry's Mod!

The Big Apple features the trio of gritty New York-themed maps.
  • The Big City is the main server and hosts RP_NYCity, the largest map.
  • South Side is the second server and hosts RP_SouthSide, the middle-sized map.
  • Union City is the third server and hosts RP_UnionCity, the smallest map.
Each map contains tunnels to the other maps that you can walk—or even drive—into to connect to another server.

The gameplay of The Big Apple is similar to STRP from last year but with a number of enhancements.  First and foremost, money is a lot easier to come by.  Care has been taken to to allow nearly every job to generate money without having to rely on any other players.
  • Arms dealers can make use of STGunrunning, previously seen on Gang War RP, to export guns.
  • Mechanics can use their tools to chop up cars and sell their parts.
  • Chemists can use the powder machine from STPowder to refine their drugs for premium sale.
  • Brewmasters can distill moonshine using STMoonshine to mass-produce strong alcohol.
  • Tailors can buy boxes of silkworms and pump out sheets of silk from the new addon STSilk.
  • Botanists can also use STPowder to refine the cocaine from their plants.
  • Tech dealers can buy computers from STHackerWar and steal the government's files.
As you might recognize, most of these addons were previously seen on STAGE 2, Gang War RP, but there's one main difference:  this time, you'll be selling your goods to The Contact, a mysterious individual willing to pay for all of your fine products, but it might not be as simple as it sounds...

Besides that, there are obviously other ways to make money and roleplay at the same time.
  • Mechanics can sell cars to players.  Will you be a sleazy car dealer or an honest salesman?
  • Chemists can sell powerful drugs and heal players, allowing you to play on either side of the law.
  • Brewmasters can sell either alcohol or coffee, using the brand new STCoffeeShop Neu.
  • Tech dealers can sell unique items, such as radios allowing you to use group chat, and cell phones allowing you to text your friends.
  • All players can also, of course, buy items from any other player and take ownership of them so they don't lose them when the buyer disconnects.
  • If all else fails, you can be a simple hot dog salesman using the new Hot Dog Cart or a fisherman with STFishing Neu. both exclusive to The Big Apple.

With all these ways to make money, what will you decide to spend it all on?  You better think fast and move quickly, because you will drop all of your money when you die or disconnect unless you've stored money in an ATM.  Most purchases involving money that disappears into thin air can be made with ATM money, but everything else must be done with cash.

The Big Apple supports however you want to play.  Want to take your in-game life dead seriously?  You can choose to perma-kill your character and create a new one any time you die.  Don't even know what OOC stands for?  Don't worry!  The Big Apple strives to allow all players to play how they want.

And finally, due to the massive scale of this STAGE, The Big Apple will be open for three months instead of the typical STAG Servers one month.  All three servers of The Big Apple will be open from now until the new year, so there's plenty of time to flesh out your character!

There's plenty more I'm sure I've forgotten to mention, so what are you waiting for?  Join The Big Apple now on any of its three servers!  Connect to either stag.sweptthr.one to reach The Big City, stag.sweptthr.one:27016 to reach South Side, or stag.sweptthr.one:27017 to reach Union City.  Hope to see you there!
