Version 0.41.0

Leaderboards and a Hall of Fame

  • New public leaderboards show the top 20 by level, gang respect, overall stats, house, jail busts and hospital revives. Anyone can look, signed in or not.
  • Only players with a public profile are listed. Switch yours off in Preferences and you leave the boards too. Overall stats and houses are ranked, but your stat totals and your house stay private.
  • The Hall of Fame keeps the records that stay: the first player to reach levels 10, 25, 50 and 100, and the people who reported a security problem the right way.
