Actually, I'm glad you made this post. I was gonna make one soon anyways. We are nearly up to 10k users in the user database which is the main reason why the phone system is giving out 0 phone numbers and people are having duplicate license plates.
We could also look to add some various things that would've required a wipe. I'm looking forward to seeing thoughts on possibly doing this within the next month or two.

I wouldn't be against it. It gets a little old when you arrest someone with a carbine rifle and take it from them, then the second they get out of jail they just go back to their apt and get another one out of their arsenal of thousands so they can use them to try and gun you down again.

Ok, you ask and I shall offer my input lol. I'm not opposed to the server wipe, but it amazes me how one can get bored in the RP server. If all one does is rob, rob, go to jail and rob yeah it will always get boring. My Steve character finally got his house about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Strictly legit RP with a rare toilet stealing or punching some dude out. I earned that money the old fashioned legit way. Could we use a server wipe? Sure, why not. But here would be my requests:
1. drugs need to be controlled. A single dealer maybe? Or a couple of highly controlled individuals, not a bunch as the reason for having the dealer would be to limit how much drugs get out there on the streets. I would not expect to roll down some street, and have unfettered access to Joe Bob's weed farm to take as much as I want. No more farming, you want to sell drugs then you should have to RP with others to get the weed. And the controller can tell you this is what you can have, so its not unlimited. Same with all drugs.
2. Store robberies, I think should be significantly limited in nature. Either a. require the store be manned by a real player (new RP job store clerk) or, reduce the stores that can be robbed to a smaller amount.
3. If you run and gun, killing cops or players all the time sentences should be increased. I'm talking a day or more. But not actual jail time where you are required to sit in the cell that long. Just set it so they are off the server for the length of the sentence. Almost a form of a ban, but its not a ban if that makes sense. Maybe its a different type of jail command for cops, they can type it in as /prison and it can remove the player for the length of the sentence.
The extreme cases above are my thoughts on how to limit people from getting "bored" by grinding for money all day. But, if we are going through with a server wipe again, this would be my requests. I know some will not like them, and thats ok. They are just my thoughts and what I think would make the wipe worth while. It would just make my day to see a cop have to deal with a dog complaint cause my dog ran into traffic during a mechanic call. Whereas right now, that call doesn't get the light of day.
So, there are my thoughts to think about.

I think this will be a great thing for the server as it might even get people to start rping.

I dont want to see a wipe. So i rp as a cop most of the time. The pay suck but i enjoy it. When i am not on duty as a cop i like to have my cars lol. I did a robbery the other day and gave 20k to each person with me. When i am looking for someone i pay 10k or more to find that person. With a reset i wont be able to do any of that and have to grind away. If people focus more on rp instead of killing and shooting then you may have a fun time and not be bored
I just joined a little over a month ago and have been grinding to own everything I have, almost have enough to finally buy a house. If we do a server wipe, we should all start out with some amount of cash to get back on our feet. Maybe enough for a vehicle and apt rental.

A wipe is just gonna cause a surge of grinding, and then back to the same old stuff. Should be a better reason for a wipe other than "I got everything so now I'm bored"
It will probably cause a Pandora's box to open, just like when the server had a wipe back in February. In my opinion, it probably won't change anything due to the fact there's always ONE person that either exploits weapons, or exploits chicken when the server dies down in the early mornings at 4-5AM. I just don't favor it in my own opinion.

Keep in mind this will happen eventually either way. We can do it soon or we can let another couple thousand people connect on the server until the end of the year and constantly complain about duplicate plates and 0 phone numbers. If we get it out the way, it'll be another half a year to year before we have to do it again. Either way, it's unavoidable.

I think this would be a good idea. But only under a few circumstances.
1) Move & Hide ALL the drug locations
- People can still (sometimes) run drugs even when the cops are not on, this could be an issue as people just fill every vehicle they have and end up selling it all when there are cops on and thus getting a lot of dirty money.
2) Move the Black Market
- Just a thought, a lot of people already know where it is, and changing the location could throw people off.
3) Increase all the Black Market prices
- Something to go along with 1. Some people have an insane amount of Black Market weapons stored away in the apartments, and I know every robbery the cops goto, there is always someone with an automatic weapon which they bought from the Black Market.
4) Whitelist Jobs Society Money
- This would be the only reason why I would say no (unsure if this would even be touched tho) - But both the LSSO and the Mechanics i'm sure have a lot of department funds, which is nice. But with the LSFD being pushed off the ground and very slowly coming to light, if they were to be reset for department funds, this would almost ruin the work.
5) Bring back Traffic Division (LSSO)
- People would be getting Guardians to make money the legit way, but also the non-rp way Kappa
