Other Systems: Wanted & Clear

When a player commits a crime, they may receive a wanted level from either police officers or the server.

Reason for issuing a wanted level

Department members are part of well-structured organisations, so, to keep track of the crimes committed by a player, they issue wanted levels. The advantage of such a wanted level is that the police officer who issued it may leave the server and the criminal will still be displayed on the list of criminals.

Can anyone manage not to end up in jail?

If you were issued a wanted level and you're wondering whether you can manage not to end up in jail, then the answer is yes. The wanted level is represented by stars that are displayed in the upper part of the screen (on the right). Every 15 minutes spent in-game, a criminal has one star removed. If they get rid of all their stars, they are no longer considered a criminal.

With or without the right to surrender

1. The right to surrender consists of being able to surrender to an officer, after which you'll be arrested and sent to jail.
2. Not having the right to surrender means police officers may shoot at you with the intention to kill, after which you'll be sent to jail.

When a player is killed by a policeman, the server takes it as a wanted level without the right to surrender and calculates your jail time as for a crime without this right (which means a higher amount).
If a player is arrested, the server takes it as wanted level with the right to surrender and calculates a shorter jail time.

Time spent in jail

Depending on your wanted level and its kind (with or without the right to surrender), the jail time varies as follows:

With the right to surrender

• Wanted 1 - 240 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 2 - 480 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 3 - 600 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 4 - 840 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 5 - 960 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 6 - 1080 seconds in jail.

Without the right to surrender

• Wanted 1 - 500 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 2 - 1000 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 3 - 1500 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 4 - 2000 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 5 - 2500 seconds in jail.
• Wanted 6 - 3000 seconds in jail.

Clear (the wanted level)

This feature is used when a player's record must be cleared (expunged) for various reasons. There are lots of explanations for intending to remove a player's wanted level, such as:

• Clearing a wanted level resulted from a police abuse.
• Clearing a criminal's records due to a mistake in wanted level, but following which, a correct wanted level is issued (rerun).
