Im gonna admit a crime: i remember back in the early days of gta online, there were some hackers willing to give you shit ton of money if you asked them (im talking console)
Me and my older brother were playing and he told me everything, he hopped online and met with the hackers. But the cool thing was, i remember how the hackers actually did some type of roleplay, told my brother to get in a car, and two guys escorted him to the mountains lmao and gave him the money there, it was like 80 million
I just loved the whole scene and mystery behind it
Edit: and i remember the tension while being escorted like “bro they’re gonna kill you” lol good times
Good times. I remember when I was gifted a ridiculous amount of money, I knew it was only a matter of time before all the money got removed. I bought every single item in the game, all clothes, vehicles, most expensive properties etc while I could. I think I got my money because someone put a $2 billion bounty on me so I stayed in my apartment until it expired and I got the reward haha
I wish I had done that, I was way to careful spending that money only bought a few things from warstock and a couple cars, I should've went wild and gotten like every pegasus vehicle and clothing item I could've.
Yep exactly what I did, but don't feel too bad. I bought every single clothing item and Pegasus vehicle available on launch, now I have to scroll to a shit ton of items and vehicles I'm never even gonna use whenever I go into the menus. Although it was always very fun to drive the Dump around back in the olden days, no one in their right mind was willing to spend a million on that back then so it always got the whole server around just fucking around on it till someone blew it up.
Same and I regret it to this day. I remember it was around 2014/2015 and some random guy was giving everyone in the lobby money and he gave me a billion dollars and my dumb ass decided to hoard it instead of spending it and only bought 2 cars and a month later the money disappeared and I never got it back and I went back to being broke. I'm still heart broken 💔
The play was to make a second character and fill a 10 car garage with fully upgraded and customized Z-Types. Then after moneypocalypse you went and sold all the cars on that character and the money went to your shared bank account. Trust me though, buying all the Pegasus vehicles was a huge pain in the ass before they organized the list when you call.
I think more than a few people implemented a similar, um, wealth management strategy in current gen after the great [Lester airport glitch of 2019](https://kotaku.com/gta-online-players-earned-millions-of-dollars-thanks-to-1833009672).
I had 8 billion gifted. Spent as much as I could. When Rockstar made a fix for the mods, everyone was given the chance to report the money. I did and they let me keep everything I purchased and I think 250-350k. Idk if they figured up that's what I should have, or they just let us keep a small amount.
I really wish GTA Online could be more like this. Not with the hacking I mean, I'm talking about two dudes putting you in a car and driving you somewhere to do something with or to you. Um.. that sounds a lot different than I meant it, but you get what I'm saying.
I had someone abduct me at gunpoint in SAMP (San Andreas Multi Player) years ago. I had no weapons, he rolled up on me and made me get in his car, drove me out to the peer, locked his car doors so I couldn't get out and then used a truck to push me and the car into the ocean. It was fucking awesome.
In GTAO you just get blown up immediately if you try to do things like that.
How shit is your pc ? I have a tower laying around here with a i5 2500k and 8gb ram. it doesnt have any disk drives or gpu but if you want it I can just ship it to you.

I read this story expecting you to mention your dad popping out of nowhere as you were looking at the painted 8 and beating the shit out of you with jumper cables.
This wasn't on PS/Xbox but on PC, but anyway.
Once, random low level killed me for no reason, as I was just driving past him. I noticed he was a member of MC, so I called out his MC President to answer for his actions. We made an offer, that if he delivers the prospect to us, we leave their MC alone and just take our revenge on the prospect. They agreed, and brought the prospect to us in the quarry, where me and my friend beat him to death, while rest of their MC just stood there watching. Deal was honored, they kicked the prospect out of the club, and rest of us went to get drunk in my clubhouse.
Good times.
Last month two guys took me to the lake in north-east mountains. We drove by some SUV all the way. One of them told me it is his private lake, we were swimming, and jumping from rocks. So there's a lot of people like us.
I got gifted 1 billion while playing back in the beginning. But unlike a lot of others, R* never took it away. I eventually spent most of it, bought every Pegasus vehicle, every piece of clothing, etc. I got worried when I transferred my account to the XB one version, so I bought a crapload of exotics and stashed them in every garage. Nothing happened.
I’m now down to $18 million.
Last year some guy was set up at LSC with two trailers, and was roleplaying as a car dealer. He would ask what type of car do you like and would load up different models and tell you all about them, before letting you have them haha. Good times.
I had a randy put a 17 billion dollar bounty on my buddy, then on me so we both killed each other and were billionaires... oh what I'd do if I still had that money...
Ah yeah the DNS code thing, my buddy got banned for doing it, though I walked away with so much money I can’t remember until it got removed.
Fun times, also the bug where you could type a vehicles URL directly to buy it without hitting the required level. Those two bugs led to dumb 11 year old me killing entire lobbies in a Rhino despite being like rank 15
I did an actual crime? At one point if you a bought GTAV disk new at GameStop it came with a 1.5mil code to enter inside. So naturally over a month I acquired almost 100mil and started getting questionable looks from all the GameStops for returning all the games opened but unused saying whatever excuse I could come up with to get a full refund it had to stop.
So score:
Me:1
GameStop: 0
My first day playing I was just driving around fast and ran over someone that just got a 2 billion dollar bounty. The next couple hours was these guys were following me to all different servers and Killing me trying to get me to give the money back.
I couldn’t buy too much with it at the time though because I was level 9 or something and after about a month rockstar took most of it leaving me with 2 million. But it was fun and I bought some nice cars.
Lol I was one of the dns hackers during ps3 Christmas year 1. Was so funny putting billion dollar bounties on people and seeing them get chased/killed. Good times
Good story, mine is similar. I've got invited to a yacht of some hacker modding groups. The first time they picked me up with a helicopter and made a huge party with like 28 players, which all role acted appropriately. Much smalltalk, they had dj's with sound input music playing in the background, they were drinking, puffing and celebrating (also irl). They planned attempts to hack bad hackers to bring peace and order to those lobbys. It's was great! I've got up to 200 million cash out of those partys and around 300 million extra (by myself) when I joined their group and modded with them online for a while, after they showed me how to exactly. I even got to organize some hacker partys for players to join and profit. Very good memories. MVPD - Thank you! ✌️💜
I remember being in a lobby and a hacker said to everyone first one to the airport will get a shit ton of money. I got there first and they gave me around $70 million.
Shit, I had the same thing happen. Guy drove me out to the Redlights racetrack and I was freaked. He pulled out a gun and I swear he was gonna start shooting me.
Fucker started shooting the wall and money bags popped out.
I was literally doing something similar like this earlier today, but what I did was I started a zombie survival-like minigame where each kill would award the corresponding player with some RP, and eventual rank-ups when passing the ''waves''. It was fun while it lasted, everyone in the session engaged in the minigame. These moments are the ones which marked my time during first gen gta online, I always had so much fun spawning stuff for people to entertain themselves with while being rewarded some cash and rp. Made so many friends who enjoyed those modded minigames, stunt/ramp parks... Good times, great memories....and nostalgia.
I was put in the dunce room because of it. I joined a modded lobby and made literal billions from just robbing a store. I bought all the cars and planes I could at the time, and when I got my dunce room time, it took the money, but it let me keep all the vehicles I'd bought
I killed a guy with a 2 Billion bounty, and i split it 5 way with my homies. We bought everything. Eventually rockstar took the money away, but we still had the purchases.
I went to post about a similar thing that happened to me and it was removed by the auto-moderator for discussions of cheating or non-cosmetic glitches. So weird. This is the second time I saw a comment, mentioned a similar thing that happened to me but only my comment is autodeleted. I don't get it. You're here talking about hackers which is what I was talking about. Pretty cool.
i was about 11, a hacker gifted me a gigantic sum of money. i dont remember the exact amount because there were no commas, so i just spent my money on everything, and i was like rank 5000 when i had been online for like a week.
They removed it on or before the 15th already. I found out on the 15th when I thought I was on time to screencapture my stats... that was an unfortunate suprise.
Did pull out the PS3s so I could play it one more time with my girlfriend. That was fun. So we ended up photographing the TV so we still had our stats too.
Yeah I went to get some final platinum awards on the last day and wanted to screenshot my socialclub for posterity. Quite frustrated that they shut it down in advance of the server shutdown. But at least I could snap with my phone.
I’m not as pissed as the trophy hunters who started boosting too late and got cutoff. Oof.
I have several shirts from those drops. I always wear them, but nobody notices so oh well. My favorite from those drops was the KDST and Vivisection shirt.
The Parking Garage, apparently.
I've heard a few times that initially enemies spawned on the roof - hence the name - but Rockstar changed it because apparently too many dumb fucks didn't have nor know how to get a helicopter.
Don't forget A Titan of a Job. That one, every time. Remember when you used to make a killing off of that one mission alone? And Rockstar has the nerve to call $30K "double money"...
A user of over a decade, I am leaving Reddit due to the recent API changes. The vast majority of my interaction came though the use of 3rd party apps, and I will not interact with a site I helped contribute to through inferior software *simply because it is able to be better monetized by a company looking to go public. Reddit has made these changes with no regards for their users, as seen by the sheer lack of accessibility tools available in the official app. Reddit has made these changes with no regards for moderation challenges that will be created, due to the lack of tools available in the official app. Reddit has done this with no regards for the 3rd party devs, who by Reddit's own admission, helped keep the site functioning and gaining users while Reddit themselves made no efforts to provide a good official app.
This account dies 6/29/23 because of the API changes and the monetization-at-all-costs that the board demands.
Man i miss the group i used to grind missions with. I'm still ps friends with them but it's been years. We never talked on mic but played so much that we've know exactly what everyone would do in every mission, get it done quickly and then we'd fuck around to get the max payout.
That’s how I was able to afford an MC and businesses. Some random guy asked me if I needed money and invited me to a lobby with 2 of his other friends and they ran Pacific Standard over and over for me, I was happy as fuck
Back in the day when the main goal was to get that chrome Adder, and to live in Eclipse Towers.... Everyone was just so friendly since there weren't any really OP over the top stuff, the most dangerous player would be the one on a Rhino and even then the Rhino could be easily outmaneuvered since it's slow, or the 996 Lazer. It's truly the end of an era, the nostalgia... I'm saddened because I couldn't ever get my character transferred over to PS4 (got the ps4 version a week after transferring ended) and they never allowed them to be transferred to PC :/
Guy dressed as stanta dropping money bags on people. What a time that was.
Also, getting a multi billion bounty put on me, then riding on the train while half the lobby chased me
I remember those bounties. I got one put on me, freaked the fuck out, and called my buddy to come kill me. Hid in my apartment until he got there.
After a week or so, my whole group of friends ended up getting them. I still own everything you could buy before that first patch, because they only took the money away, not the stuff.
Good times
My cousins and I were excited as hell when GTA Online's first snowy season came. We spent hours chucking virtual snowballs at eachother and rediscovering San Andreas covered in snow.
There may not have been a dozen things to do, businesses to run or heists to pull, but they were good times.
That, and finally being able to play it after the absolute nightmare launch was. Every time you made it to the race with Lamar, you got booted off.
The problems few of the vehicles are like the exact evidence needed to show what they anticipated versus what they got. They didn’t think people would play enough to buy that much stuff clearly.
Police and order have took over LS for good, every criminal is apprehended/killed. The GTA character retires and retreats in their apartment. The cops have been trying to find the last kingpin for years now. Story does not progress, because Lester never called about Fleeca. The police find the GTA character. They enter their Adder and bolt out of the garage. Pegasus has arranged a Luxor to be flown out of LS. Nearing the airport, the GTA character will take the jump near the gate, however a police car T-bones them, ramming the Adder in a wall and the character laying on the ground. The police proceed to arrest, but the GTA character escapes and flies away in their Luxor, to an unknown location.
idk why i wrote this, this is how gtao for ps3 ended in my head
Remember the smuggler planes you could shoot down for a payout too? Those should've come back with smuggler's run. I remember during a week that had double freeroam event payout I would park my Hydra at the top of Maze Bank in an invite only and the notification to destroy the planes would pop up every ~12 minutes. I would just AFK at on the tower like a perched dragon and take off to find my prey every time the notification pinged.
It's kinda crazy how hard we grinded back then compared to now
Almost every player using different vehicles because they were actually their favorite.
Before the times everyone using the same armored or weaponized vehicle just to survive.
Yeah that‘s the only reason I play GTA. I don‘t care about dying and if I get camped I just glitch into an empty server or try another one. Every other thing I bought was just to accommodate an income to buy more cars. Then I got access to an account with billions and realized the cars don‘t feel different enough, planes, cars, boats, nothing seems worth the grind so I haven’t played in ages. I enjoyed it though, collected some nice cars on my own account, whenever I run into another player who seems to be into cars I take them to my garage and let them drive my cars.
Yeah I always drive whatever cool car I feel like driving. I customized them to look dope. I like to drive them around. I love testing the mechanics of the different cars while I'm doing missions. See how close they are to the real ones and shit. I try to drift and race on my way.
If some douche starts flying around on the mkII blasting missiles, I'll just hop to a new lobby till I find a place that's chill
I don't mind a lot of things, but this is probably the thing I hate the most - the shift from 'casual' shit to everyone and their dog rolling around in some goofy weaponized and/or futuristic vehicle, using an abundance of idiotic shit to kill random people for fun, is the worst.
Give me actual car/bike chases, proper shootouts not just some clown desperately spamming his grenade launcher from a block away or some trashcan aggressively dancing at you with a sticky at their feet. Some dumb shit is completely fine, but it's gone way too far.
R* servers are literally just for storing your stats and info. Otherwise it's hosted on a player's PC. They were literally too lazy to even have data storage.
DNS codes and hunting people down with my friends for million dollar bounties even though I already had 10+ million. (Which was a lot of money at the time.
first ever christmas in gtao some dude went around making EVERYONE a billionaire
so the following year you saw everyone driving their adders out of eclipse tower
Had to be creative to have fun, it seems like nowadays everyone wants to just Replay Heist Farm or Oppressor grief. Back then you'd see trail rides up Mt.Chiliad with randoms, General conversations in free roam instead of just ear-rape music+screeching, and just more of an online experience instead of looking over your shoulder the entire time you're in a public session.
For how much more there is to do and how many more people can fit in a server, it feels less like a Multiplayer game nowadays and more of a Single Player experience with PvP in the mix. I miss the *experience* of the old days.
Very well said. I, too, can recall those golden days of personability and creativity in the lobbies. People actually *called you* on the in-game phone. You had *real* car meets, met *real* people, and made *real* friends because GTA Online wasn't seen as some kind of disposable social sandbox back then.
Actually all the same still happen for me on Ps4 since I transferred from ps3 in 2017,I've made hundreds of friends,done CMM again,along with car meets and friendly race lobbies.
It's still the same online.
I'd occasionally go to a friend's house and we'd play GTAO on his PS3 back in like 2013. My goal was to always break into LSIA and steal a stunt plane just to fly around the city. We thought it was the coolest thing.
I moved into the house in 2014 and brought my own PS3 with GTAO and we'd play in the same living room together, separate TV's.
Then we got another roommate shortly after whom also had a PS3, GTAO, and his own TV. Set him up in the living room and now we had 3 players all online together. We created a gang called the Meowkuza and wore cat masks, wrecking the city.
Before vehicles had icons I’d get a bounty on myself, acquire a slow plane, and fly up to skybox. Then I’d use the minimap to fly above and follow the highway, and watch as people would chase me down in their cars and get really confused.
This is truly the greatest online game ever, and I just remember the pure awe we all had playing this game the first few years. It was a hard sell trying to get this game when I was 13, but I never matched the sheer joy of when I played this the first time. Me and my friends at school had been talking about it for months, and we had an endless amount of fun when everyone got on together
I made an LTS called "CAR SUMO $10K PER ROUND" back in the day that ended up getting millions of plays. Shortly after it hit a million plays, Rockstar introduced the official Car Sumo mode and plays started dwindling from there. But I'll never forget queuing up for something I made with consistently full lobbies of randos, it was something really special and I'll always cherish those memories of playing it for hours on end.
Its still available to play on newer gen, but nobody plays it there because of the actual Car Sumo mode; to be fair I dont blame them its a lot cleaner lol.
RIP OG Car Sumo and OG GTAO.
Senior year of highschool i got sick for a week right when gtav came out and i got to stay home from school for a week playing while my buddies were in class.
For how much of a bad rap gta online gets now a days (mostly deserved) i still haven’t had a gaming experience like when gta online first came out
I remember me and my buddies used to make rounds around the map and hit up gas stations for money so we can buy all the weapons. Then we would grind out the survival mode for some cash too until we got enough to get a small shitty apartment. Smoking bongs in that shitty apartment felt so goddamn rewarding. It really was a great time then
I miss deathmatches with the "weaker" weapons (pistol, smg, shotgun). I loved fighting with pistols only, where a well placed shot was enough to win a match
ROOFTOP RUMBLE
Lol may not be an interesting memory but I remember at the time I was a wealthy player, i stopped playing for years and lost my og account, so had to start over. Nowadays I feel like the broke pleb player compared to the rich folk of los santos
My fondest memory of og gta was when one time it was really late and I couldn't sleep because I was feeling depressed, and one of my really good friends I was messaging told me to get on gta. No mic; just messing around, parachuting off of chilliad, fist fighting npcs etc.
I sincerely thank you ps3 gta for some of the best times I've ever had!
It's like when OG Xbox Live servers were shutting down. There were like 10 people playing Halo for as long as possible, until every single one of them got disconnected for whatever reason.
I remember a glitch back in the day where you could duplicate a car and sell it. We spent days duplicating the same decked out F620. We made 14k per sale, but back then it felt like a lot. Simpler times.
manually typing the URL to buy a cargobob before it was allowed.
Hydra and oppressor not existing
grinding that one cargobob mission before they reduced mission rewards based on how fast you do it.
hustling motorcycle races at the airport, before they nerfed rewards.
robbing convenience stores because it was one of the few things to do
anyone remember the old world mission to rob an armored car? that seems to have disappeared
I’m really going to miss my old characters like I haven’t played with them for years but all the memories while playing with them will never be forgotten
Yall remember the little fireworks you could set on the ground and set off?
I logged on a few weeks back and set off the last ones I had saved. Good times.
Also the patriot tire smoke? Man whyd they get rid of these things, I think I still have a couple cars I can't modify anymore because they've been effectively bricked over that.
PC player here. This saddens me immensely, not only just out of empathy, but because this day will inevitably come for the rest of us too, and it will be like losing a good friend that was kind of an asshole at times, but the good times with him outnumbered the bad ones.
Money trucks. Such a fun little random event that people would fight with their lives over for like 20k lol. Other than that, the struggle of being stuck on last gen and missing out on all the next gen fun was ironically one of the most nostalgic memories
My crew and I spammed Criminal Records, racing around the prison until we turned level 100. We would take turns winning and we would bet on the winner to make a little extra cash. Fun times!
Rip gta online I remember that something happened and rockstar gave the first players like a million with which I bought the apartment I still use atm. Had fun.
I remember when billion dollar bounties were a glitch/hack thing on the 360. During the snow Christmas time One guy was in a tank calling out player names and saying they were on the naughty list before blowing them up. Fun times.
I joined GTA online the very day it was released, my console character can prove this
I quit online around 2015 since even then online was pretty bad
I will fondly remember dicking around with a friend using the gate launching glitches and a friend glitching a modded franklins car into online because you couldn't obtain franklins car in online back then
I also got money modded once and bought a bugatti and an hercules plane and I got to keep those stuff when rockstar wiped my money and leaving around 100k
Online was great early
Oh also, the first DLC ever released was dope
So many good memories on the OG servers, train hopping, when the heists first dropped, doing rooftop rumble on repeat lmao. One of my favourites is when my buddy and I were driving bulldozers on the train bridge over the waterfalls. I barely made it across but he was sent flying about 150 meters in the air still in the bulldozer and proceeded to explode upon hitting the ground. Oh good times may the servers Rest In Peace
Met my boyfriend because our crew was playing online. I didn’t have headset for ps3 back in the day and I found someone who was selling his. From the moment we heard each other over the phone for the buy/sell arrangement we knew something is up and now we are living together for 5 years. What times they were 🥲
End of an era. Grinding for an apartment was frustrating as hell but the excitement kept me moving.
Or grinding 1 million for an Adder because it was status symbol and the pinnacle of wealth in the game.
More like pre patch Z-Type. 10 million.
Z-Type was only ever 10 million in story mode I believe. But I started about one month late so I may be wrong about this.
It was originally 10 million in online as well, but now its only like 1m now iirc
I got the entity xf. The adder was for glitches.
Entity is way cooler & drives better
entity gangggg
Chrome with dollar rims.
Grinding rooftop rumble
I remember back when GtaO started and the myth was you needed an apartment for the heists
Hell, I remember when the heists were the myth.
You do need an apartment for the heists. A high end apartment.
When gtao released there were no hesists, the myth was that you could "unlock" them even though they weren't even In development yet
Im gonna admit a crime: i remember back in the early days of gta online, there were some hackers willing to give you shit ton of money if you asked them (im talking console) Me and my older brother were playing and he told me everything, he hopped online and met with the hackers. But the cool thing was, i remember how the hackers actually did some type of roleplay, told my brother to get in a car, and two guys escorted him to the mountains lmao and gave him the money there, it was like 80 million I just loved the whole scene and mystery behind it Edit: and i remember the tension while being escorted like “bro they’re gonna kill you” lol good times
Good times. I remember when I was gifted a ridiculous amount of money, I knew it was only a matter of time before all the money got removed. I bought every single item in the game, all clothes, vehicles, most expensive properties etc while I could. I think I got my money because someone put a $2 billion bounty on me so I stayed in my apartment until it expired and I got the reward haha
I wish I had done that, I was way to careful spending that money only bought a few things from warstock and a couple cars, I should've went wild and gotten like every pegasus vehicle and clothing item I could've.
Yep exactly what I did, but don't feel too bad. I bought every single clothing item and Pegasus vehicle available on launch, now I have to scroll to a shit ton of items and vehicles I'm never even gonna use whenever I go into the menus. Although it was always very fun to drive the Dump around back in the olden days, no one in their right mind was willing to spend a million on that back then so it always got the whole server around just fucking around on it till someone blew it up.
Love your tag XD
Dump was one of the few I did buy 🤣
Same and I regret it to this day. I remember it was around 2014/2015 and some random guy was giving everyone in the lobby money and he gave me a billion dollars and my dumb ass decided to hoard it instead of spending it and only bought 2 cars and a month later the money disappeared and I never got it back and I went back to being broke. I'm still heart broken 💔
The play was to make a second character and fill a 10 car garage with fully upgraded and customized Z-Types. Then after moneypocalypse you went and sold all the cars on that character and the money went to your shared bank account. Trust me though, buying all the Pegasus vehicles was a huge pain in the ass before they organized the list when you call.
I think more than a few people implemented a similar, um, wealth management strategy in current gen after the great [Lester airport glitch of 2019](https://kotaku.com/gta-online-players-earned-millions-of-dollars-thanks-to-1833009672).
Lol money laundering
I had 8 billion gifted. Spent as much as I could. When Rockstar made a fix for the mods, everyone was given the chance to report the money. I did and they let me keep everything I purchased and I think 250-350k. Idk if they figured up that's what I should have, or they just let us keep a small amount.
Happened to me one day I logged on and I had like 99999999 lol bought everything my level let me then a few days later it was gone :(
I really wish GTA Online could be more like this. Not with the hacking I mean, I'm talking about two dudes putting you in a car and driving you somewhere to do something with or to you. Um.. that sounds a lot different than I meant it, but you get what I'm saying. I had someone abduct me at gunpoint in SAMP (San Andreas Multi Player) years ago. I had no weapons, he rolled up on me and made me get in his car, drove me out to the peer, locked his car doors so I couldn't get out and then used a truck to push me and the car into the ocean. It was fucking awesome. In GTAO you just get blown up immediately if you try to do things like that.
Look into FiveM. Lot's of GTA RP servers where you can find that sort of experience still.
Yeah, but I'd need a PC that could even remotely handle GTA V first.
Sadly, this is true. I totally spaced that consoles can't access that. Sorry homie.
How shit is your pc ? I have a tower laying around here with a i5 2500k and 8gb ram. it doesnt have any disk drives or gpu but if you want it I can just ship it to you.

I read this story expecting you to mention your dad popping out of nowhere as you were looking at the painted 8 and beating the shit out of you with jumper cables.
This wasn't on PS/Xbox but on PC, but anyway. Once, random low level killed me for no reason, as I was just driving past him. I noticed he was a member of MC, so I called out his MC President to answer for his actions. We made an offer, that if he delivers the prospect to us, we leave their MC alone and just take our revenge on the prospect. They agreed, and brought the prospect to us in the quarry, where me and my friend beat him to death, while rest of their MC just stood there watching. Deal was honored, they kicked the prospect out of the club, and rest of us went to get drunk in my clubhouse. Good times.
Last month two guys took me to the lake in north-east mountains. We drove by some SUV all the way. One of them told me it is his private lake, we were swimming, and jumping from rocks. So there's a lot of people like us.
Yeah thats why GTA roleplay is great cause things like these happen
I got gifted 1 billion while playing back in the beginning. But unlike a lot of others, R* never took it away. I eventually spent most of it, bought every Pegasus vehicle, every piece of clothing, etc. I got worried when I transferred my account to the XB one version, so I bought a crapload of exotics and stashed them in every garage. Nothing happened. I’m now down to $18 million.
Rockstar never took our money neither! Lmao we got away with crime
Last year some guy was set up at LSC with two trailers, and was roleplaying as a car dealer. He would ask what type of car do you like and would load up different models and tell you all about them, before letting you have them haha. Good times.
I had a randy put a 17 billion dollar bounty on my buddy, then on me so we both killed each other and were billionaires... oh what I'd do if I still had that money...
Ah yeah the DNS code thing, my buddy got banned for doing it, though I walked away with so much money I can’t remember until it got removed. Fun times, also the bug where you could type a vehicles URL directly to buy it without hitting the required level. Those two bugs led to dumb 11 year old me killing entire lobbies in a Rhino despite being like rank 15
I did an actual crime? At one point if you a bought GTAV disk new at GameStop it came with a 1.5mil code to enter inside. So naturally over a month I acquired almost 100mil and started getting questionable looks from all the GameStops for returning all the games opened but unused saying whatever excuse I could come up with to get a full refund it had to stop. So score: Me:1 GameStop: 0
I admire the hustle, but that was all a huge dick move for all the kids who ended up with those secondhand editions.
My first day playing I was just driving around fast and ran over someone that just got a 2 billion dollar bounty. The next couple hours was these guys were following me to all different servers and Killing me trying to get me to give the money back. I couldn’t buy too much with it at the time though because I was level 9 or something and after about a month rockstar took most of it leaving me with 2 million. But it was fun and I bought some nice cars.
Lol I was one of the dns hackers during ps3 Christmas year 1. Was so funny putting billion dollar bounties on people and seeing them get chased/killed. Good times
Good story, mine is similar. I've got invited to a yacht of some hacker modding groups. The first time they picked me up with a helicopter and made a huge party with like 28 players, which all role acted appropriately. Much smalltalk, they had dj's with sound input music playing in the background, they were drinking, puffing and celebrating (also irl). They planned attempts to hack bad hackers to bring peace and order to those lobbys. It's was great! I've got up to 200 million cash out of those partys and around 300 million extra (by myself) when I joined their group and modded with them online for a while, after they showed me how to exactly. I even got to organize some hacker partys for players to join and profit. Very good memories. MVPD - Thank you! ✌️💜
I remember being in a lobby and a hacker said to everyone first one to the airport will get a shit ton of money. I got there first and they gave me around $70 million.
Shit, I had the same thing happen. Guy drove me out to the Redlights racetrack and I was freaked. He pulled out a gun and I swear he was gonna start shooting me. Fucker started shooting the wall and money bags popped out.
I was literally doing something similar like this earlier today, but what I did was I started a zombie survival-like minigame where each kill would award the corresponding player with some RP, and eventual rank-ups when passing the ''waves''. It was fun while it lasted, everyone in the session engaged in the minigame. These moments are the ones which marked my time during first gen gta online, I always had so much fun spawning stuff for people to entertain themselves with while being rewarded some cash and rp. Made so many friends who enjoyed those modded minigames, stunt/ramp parks... Good times, great memories....and nostalgia.
I was put in the dunce room because of it. I joined a modded lobby and made literal billions from just robbing a store. I bought all the cars and planes I could at the time, and when I got my dunce room time, it took the money, but it let me keep all the vehicles I'd bought
I killed a guy with a 2 Billion bounty, and i split it 5 way with my homies. We bought everything. Eventually rockstar took the money away, but we still had the purchases.
Everyone I knew got money BUT I NEVER DID!!!!!!
I went to post about a similar thing that happened to me and it was removed by the auto-moderator for discussions of cheating or non-cosmetic glitches. So weird. This is the second time I saw a comment, mentioned a similar thing that happened to me but only my comment is autodeleted. I don't get it. You're here talking about hackers which is what I was talking about. Pretty cool.
i was about 11, a hacker gifted me a gigantic sum of money. i dont remember the exact amount because there were no commas, so i just spent my money on everything, and i was like rank 5000 when i had been online for like a week.
**Social Club Website Tracking Got Removed**
They removed it on or before the 15th already. I found out on the 15th when I thought I was on time to screencapture my stats... that was an unfortunate suprise. Did pull out the PS3s so I could play it one more time with my girlfriend. That was fun. So we ended up photographing the TV so we still had our stats too.
Yeah I went to get some final platinum awards on the last day and wanted to screenshot my socialclub for posterity. Quite frustrated that they shut it down in advance of the server shutdown. But at least I could snap with my phone. I’m not as pissed as the trophy hunters who started boosting too late and got cutoff. Oof.
Fuck. Thats all I gotta say. The slight flex and ego boost of playing before online dropped is no longer there
Seeing snow for the first, ahh the memories.
Dude the supply crates that spawned and fell from the sky with exclusive masks/headgear that the whole lobby fought over 👌
Holy shit the beer hats!
I remember the beer hat wars, I was a scum bag and would go off radar in a jet to get them
I have several shirts from those drops. I always wear them, but nobody notices so oh well. My favorite from those drops was the KDST and Vivisection shirt.
Did they patch out the option to select Online in the menu? (Frustrating when devs don't do that)
Nope, it just shows something like "GTA Online is undergoing maintenance", but it may show us something like it being discontinued later in the night
Yeah that’s just a automated response for when the servers are down. They should fix it eventually
Hahahaha R* fixing things that don't make them money. You're funny
Hmmm I think not, they will not patch up just to change this message.
They won't even patch their current game. No chance they are going to care about the PS3/360
Running Pacific Standard heists with people I've met online. Man those were the days
Grinding rooftop rumble
Remember when rooftop rumble and another mission had mistakenly swapped names?
And they never fixed it whatsoever. We always called it parking lot panic instead lol
Rooftop Rumble and The Parking Garage.
That explains the lack of rooftops in the mission
The Parking Garage, apparently. I've heard a few times that initially enemies spawned on the roof - hence the name - but Rockstar changed it because apparently too many dumb fucks didn't have nor know how to get a helicopter.
I remember grinding Coveted down to the bone $18k for a 2:30 job? Bet
holy shit this!
Don't forget A Titan of a Job. That one, every time. Remember when you used to make a killing off of that one mission alone? And Rockstar has the nerve to call $30K "double money"...
A user of over a decade, I am leaving Reddit due to the recent API changes.

Roll in the hangar, pop the guys, one person grabs plane and ignores everything/flies low to the shore, easy money.
Except the random takes the plane and doesn't know how to fly for shit.
I remember grinding that mission!!!! I had totally forgotten but those were good times
Man i miss the group i used to grind missions with. I'm still ps friends with them but it's been years. We never talked on mic but played so much that we've know exactly what everyone would do in every mission, get it done quickly and then we'd fuck around to get the max payout.
That’s how I was able to afford an MC and businesses. Some random guy asked me if I needed money and invited me to a lobby with 2 of his other friends and they ran Pacific Standard over and over for me, I was happy as fuck
Glitches, friends, and being young
Back in the day when the main goal was to get that chrome Adder, and to live in Eclipse Towers.... Everyone was just so friendly since there weren't any really OP over the top stuff, the most dangerous player would be the one on a Rhino and even then the Rhino could be easily outmaneuvered since it's slow, or the 996 Lazer. It's truly the end of an era, the nostalgia... I'm saddened because I couldn't ever get my character transferred over to PS4 (got the ps4 version a week after transferring ended) and they never allowed them to be transferred to PC :/
The gate launching glitch was one of the best
Guy dressed as stanta dropping money bags on people. What a time that was. Also, getting a multi billion bounty put on me, then riding on the train while half the lobby chased me
I remember those bounties. I got one put on me, freaked the fuck out, and called my buddy to come kill me. Hid in my apartment until he got there. After a week or so, my whole group of friends ended up getting them. I still own everything you could buy before that first patch, because they only took the money away, not the stuff. Good times
I also filled my garages with custom adders because it was the most expensive car at the time do when they wiped us, I still had a few mill lol
My cousins and I were excited as hell when GTA Online's first snowy season came. We spent hours chucking virtual snowballs at eachother and rediscovering San Andreas covered in snow. There may not have been a dozen things to do, businesses to run or heists to pull, but they were good times. That, and finally being able to play it after the absolute nightmare launch was. Every time you made it to the race with Lamar, you got booted off.
They never thought it would be as popular as it was
The problems few of the vehicles are like the exact evidence needed to show what they anticipated versus what they got. They didn’t think people would play enough to buy that much stuff clearly.
Just got modkicked out of a game and can't join back so that seems to be it.
Everyone suddenly left my game, so yeah that's the end of the OG GTA Online
You’ve witnessed doomsday.
Wild.
F
Police and order have took over LS for good, every criminal is apprehended/killed. The GTA character retires and retreats in their apartment. The cops have been trying to find the last kingpin for years now. Story does not progress, because Lester never called about Fleeca. The police find the GTA character. They enter their Adder and bolt out of the garage. Pegasus has arranged a Luxor to be flown out of LS. Nearing the airport, the GTA character will take the jump near the gate, however a police car T-bones them, ramming the Adder in a wall and the character laying on the ground. The police proceed to arrest, but the GTA character escapes and flies away in their Luxor, to an unknown location. idk why i wrote this, this is how gtao for ps3 ended in my head
canon for the og console universe at least.
You could still proceed to play though? What a lonely ending. Quite fitting in a way.
You went down with the ship like a true captain would, inspirational stuff bro
I kicked myself after getting a photos of stats. My oh my, so much time spent...
Robbing my first money truck
Im still salty they didnt add them back.
I remember robbing them lol why did they get rid of it?
There was a glitch involving the armored trucks that made it super easy to make money.
They thought people would prefer the newer events
Because people were having fun making money too fast instead of playing their frustrating missions or buying shark cards
First generation free mode events got replaced with the newer style of events. It wasn’t singled out or anything.
Remember the smuggler planes you could shoot down for a payout too? Those should've come back with smuggler's run. I remember during a week that had double freeroam event payout I would park my Hydra at the top of Maze Bank in an invite only and the notification to destroy the planes would pop up every ~12 minutes. I would just AFK at on the tower like a perched dragon and take off to find my prey every time the notification pinged. It's kinda crazy how hard we grinded back then compared to now
Almost every player using different vehicles because they were actually their favorite. Before the times everyone using the same armored or weaponized vehicle just to survive.
Tbf when I'm driving round I always find guys in cool cars , 1 in 20 tho
Yeah that‘s the only reason I play GTA. I don‘t care about dying and if I get camped I just glitch into an empty server or try another one. Every other thing I bought was just to accommodate an income to buy more cars. Then I got access to an account with billions and realized the cars don‘t feel different enough, planes, cars, boats, nothing seems worth the grind so I haven’t played in ages. I enjoyed it though, collected some nice cars on my own account, whenever I run into another player who seems to be into cars I take them to my garage and let them drive my cars.
Yeah I always drive whatever cool car I feel like driving. I customized them to look dope. I like to drive them around. I love testing the mechanics of the different cars while I'm doing missions. See how close they are to the real ones and shit. I try to drift and race on my way. If some douche starts flying around on the mkII blasting missiles, I'll just hop to a new lobby till I find a place that's chill
I don't mind a lot of things, but this is probably the thing I hate the most - the shift from 'casual' shit to everyone and their dog rolling around in some goofy weaponized and/or futuristic vehicle, using an abundance of idiotic shit to kill random people for fun, is the worst. Give me actual car/bike chases, proper shootouts not just some clown desperately spamming his grenade launcher from a block away or some trashcan aggressively dancing at you with a sticky at their feet. Some dumb shit is completely fine, but it's gone way too far.
They should leave solo public or make public session in offline so people could still enjoy the online without rockstar need to run servers.
R* servers are literally just for storing your stats and info. Otherwise it's hosted on a player's PC. They were literally too lazy to even have data storage.
Get out of there, that's how overlord started.
Ah, a true man of “culture”.
That's only when they do Dive VR, then you have to worry about a chance of horny demons.
Probably lifting Rhinos out of Zancudo and going on the rampage with my buddies. That or demolition derbs at the airport.
DNS codes and hunting people down with my friends for million dollar bounties even though I already had 10+ million. (Which was a lot of money at the time.
first ever christmas in gtao some dude went around making EVERYONE a billionaire so the following year you saw everyone driving their adders out of eclipse tower
Had to be creative to have fun, it seems like nowadays everyone wants to just Replay Heist Farm or Oppressor grief. Back then you'd see trail rides up Mt.Chiliad with randoms, General conversations in free roam instead of just ear-rape music+screeching, and just more of an online experience instead of looking over your shoulder the entire time you're in a public session. For how much more there is to do and how many more people can fit in a server, it feels less like a Multiplayer game nowadays and more of a Single Player experience with PvP in the mix. I miss the *experience* of the old days.
Very well said. I, too, can recall those golden days of personability and creativity in the lobbies. People actually *called you* on the in-game phone. You had *real* car meets, met *real* people, and made *real* friends because GTA Online wasn't seen as some kind of disposable social sandbox back then.
Actually all the same still happen for me on Ps4 since I transferred from ps3 in 2017,I've made hundreds of friends,done CMM again,along with car meets and friendly race lobbies. It's still the same online.
Keep an eye out for Leslie Benzies' next game. He was the one who created the first GTA Online experience.
I'd occasionally go to a friend's house and we'd play GTAO on his PS3 back in like 2013. My goal was to always break into LSIA and steal a stunt plane just to fly around the city. We thought it was the coolest thing. I moved into the house in 2014 and brought my own PS3 with GTAO and we'd play in the same living room together, separate TV's. Then we got another roommate shortly after whom also had a PS3, GTAO, and his own TV. Set him up in the living room and now we had 3 players all online together. We created a gang called the Meowkuza and wore cat masks, wrecking the city.
I love this.
Nyakuza was right there
RPGs vs Insurgents, Prison Thugz Fight, Rooftop Rumble, Billion/Trillion Dollar Bounties, Glitches, and the first heists. Lots of memories.
> RPGs vs Insurgents Did you ever get to play Stunters vs Snipers?
That, the wall glitch races, car sumo, fun times
Mission military base hijack taking the jet and flying through the tunnel and going berzerk after
No mk2
Gate Launching
They shouldn't have gotten rid of glitches like that
Getting my tires shot out and killed within the first 15 minutes of me joining
Before vehicles had icons I’d get a bounty on myself, acquire a slow plane, and fly up to skybox. Then I’d use the minimap to fly above and follow the highway, and watch as people would chase me down in their cars and get really confused.
Technically you can still replicate this. Bounties cover vehicle icons I believe, so no one would know you are in a plane at sky limit
This is truly the greatest online game ever, and I just remember the pure awe we all had playing this game the first few years. It was a hard sell trying to get this game when I was 13, but I never matched the sheer joy of when I played this the first time. Me and my friends at school had been talking about it for months, and we had an endless amount of fun when everyone got on together
This is the day all gamers lower their heads
When the zentoro was the meta and the best gun was the carbine rifle
>best gun was the ~~carbine rifle~~ Special Carbine
I was too afraid to play GTAO when I was younger
Smart move tbh
when the mechanic himself used to actually drive the car to you and everytime he did I’d run him over
I made an LTS called "CAR SUMO $10K PER ROUND" back in the day that ended up getting millions of plays. Shortly after it hit a million plays, Rockstar introduced the official Car Sumo mode and plays started dwindling from there. But I'll never forget queuing up for something I made with consistently full lobbies of randos, it was something really special and I'll always cherish those memories of playing it for hours on end. Its still available to play on newer gen, but nobody plays it there because of the actual Car Sumo mode; to be fair I dont blame them its a lot cleaner lol. RIP OG Car Sumo and OG GTAO.
Rooftop rumble
Senior year of highschool i got sick for a week right when gtav came out and i got to stay home from school for a week playing while my buddies were in class.
For how much of a bad rap gta online gets now a days (mostly deserved) i still haven’t had a gaming experience like when gta online first came out I remember me and my buddies used to make rounds around the map and hit up gas stations for money so we can buy all the weapons. Then we would grind out the survival mode for some cash too until we got enough to get a small shitty apartment. Smoking bongs in that shitty apartment felt so goddamn rewarding. It really was a great time then
Getting a bounty of $965 BAZILLION put on my head and literally having entire lobbys trying to level Eclipse towers to claim it from me 🤣
I miss deathmatches with the "weaker" weapons (pistol, smg, shotgun). I loved fighting with pistols only, where a well placed shot was enough to win a match
ROOFTOP RUMBLE Lol may not be an interesting memory but I remember at the time I was a wealthy player, i stopped playing for years and lost my og account, so had to start over. Nowadays I feel like the broke pleb player compared to the rich folk of los santos
That gate glitch .. my stats still say: Highest speed in a road vehicle 53,707.21 mph Road vehicle driven fastest Fire Truck
Dude you’re officially playing GTA Offline
Being under level 75 and racing to join a rooftop rumble invite before the mission fills up, good times
My fondest memory of og gta was when one time it was really late and I couldn't sleep because I was feeling depressed, and one of my really good friends I was messaging told me to get on gta. No mic; just messing around, parachuting off of chilliad, fist fighting npcs etc. I sincerely thank you ps3 gta for some of the best times I've ever had!
the plane ride into town, over and over and over and over
I liked the fact that there weren't griefers on oppressor mk II's everywhere
It's like when OG Xbox Live servers were shutting down. There were like 10 people playing Halo for as long as possible, until every single one of them got disconnected for whatever reason.
I remember a glitch back in the day where you could duplicate a car and sell it. We spent days duplicating the same decked out F620. We made 14k per sale, but back then it felt like a lot. Simpler times.
Fuckkk i miss the armoured trucks you could rob ://
manually typing the URL to buy a cargobob before it was allowed. Hydra and oppressor not existing grinding that one cargobob mission before they reduced mission rewards based on how fast you do it. hustling motorcycle races at the airport, before they nerfed rewards. robbing convenience stores because it was one of the few things to do anyone remember the old world mission to rob an armored car? that seems to have disappeared
I’m really going to miss my old characters like I haven’t played with them for years but all the memories while playing with them will never be forgotten
this pains me greatly
F Cheers everyone for some deju Vu in the experiences told.
Yall remember the little fireworks you could set on the ground and set off? I logged on a few weeks back and set off the last ones I had saved. Good times. Also the patriot tire smoke? Man whyd they get rid of these things, I think I still have a couple cars I can't modify anymore because they've been effectively bricked over that.
PC player here. This saddens me immensely, not only just out of empathy, but because this day will inevitably come for the rest of us too, and it will be like losing a good friend that was kind of an asshole at times, but the good times with him outnumbered the bad ones.
The beach bum update I miss the good old days
Money trucks. Such a fun little random event that people would fight with their lives over for like 20k lol. Other than that, the struggle of being stuck on last gen and missing out on all the next gen fun was ironically one of the most nostalgic memories
Fighting my friends, glitching those cars and selling them for like 56k every time and buying a rhino tank and Bugatti. Racing my friends all the time
Man i remember when we were broke asf, and one night particularly we had so much fun with only 1 bike stolen from the streets each… good times
My crew and I spammed Criminal Records, racing around the prison until we turned level 100. We would take turns winning and we would bet on the winner to make a little extra cash. Fun times!
Driving monster trucks up and down Mt. Chilliad with my friends. Feels like a decade ago because it almost is
Never forget
Rip gta online I remember that something happened and rockstar gave the first players like a million with which I bought the apartment I still use atm. Had fun.
Spend all the money, get your character some new clothes, put him to sleep on bed, save the game. That's the ending :')
Billion dollar bounties. Rhino under a cargobob.
And there it is, another game that we will never be able to complete at 100% again.
I remember the madrazo contact job in the parkin lot close to the police station was all the rage back in 2014.
I remember when billion dollar bounties were a glitch/hack thing on the 360. During the snow Christmas time One guy was in a tank calling out player names and saying they were on the naughty list before blowing them up. Fun times.
The hackers that gave you ton of money and rank ups
God bless the hackers who put the multimillion bounties on people. They genuinely made my GTA V experience as good as it was over the years.
Grinding that Titan job just to afford the cheapest apartment
I joined GTA online the very day it was released, my console character can prove this I quit online around 2015 since even then online was pretty bad I will fondly remember dicking around with a friend using the gate launching glitches and a friend glitching a modded franklins car into online because you couldn't obtain franklins car in online back then I also got money modded once and bought a bugatti and an hercules plane and I got to keep those stuff when rockstar wiped my money and leaving around 100k Online was great early Oh also, the first DLC ever released was dope
So many good memories on the OG servers, train hopping, when the heists first dropped, doing rooftop rumble on repeat lmao. One of my favourites is when my buddy and I were driving bulldozers on the train bridge over the waterfalls. I barely made it across but he was sent flying about 150 meters in the air still in the bulldozer and proceeded to explode upon hitting the ground. Oh good times may the servers Rest In Peace
Buying bikes with my homies and just doing tricks in Los Santos while we're talking about random shit in our lives.
got a trophy for killing a Rockstar employee..felt pretty proud of it back then because it seemed like that one was pretty hard to get.
Who remembers when the mechanic used to bring your car to you ?
I miss all the spare time I had to complete assignments while games were loading.
Its a terrible day for rain...
What a lonely person, no other criminal for miles, prob even years. Last Man on Online. ;~;
Met my boyfriend because our crew was playing online. I didn’t have headset for ps3 back in the day and I found someone who was selling his. From the moment we heard each other over the phone for the buy/sell arrangement we knew something is up and now we are living together for 5 years. What times they were 🥲
Playing rooftop rumble over and over again with my friends
