Prison and hospital

How you end up in a cell

If a crime, a robbery, a car theft or a job fails, you can be arrested. You are then locked up for a while in the prison of the city you are in.

While you are locked up, you cannot do anything else. If you had booked a trip, you miss your train or flight and only leave on the next one. With VIP your sentence is shorter.

Getting out: wait, bail or breakout

The simplest way is to wait until your sentence is over. If you are in a hurry, you pay bail. The price depends on the time you still have to serve and on the rate set by the owner of the prison. You pay with cash.

Another player in the same city can help you too: by paying your bail or by breaking you out. A breakout is a gamble. If it works, you are free at once and your helper earns experience. If it fails, your helper ends up in a cell for a while.

If someone else frees you, you get a message about it. That way you know who did you a favour.

Wounded? Off to the hospital

Your health drops when you lose an attack or when an action ends badly. Do not wait too long to recover, because a player with no health left dies.

In the hospital of your city you are fully patched up in one go, with no waiting time. The bill depends on how much health you are missing and on the price the owner of the hospital asks. You pay from your bank, not with cash.

When you die

If your health drops to zero, you are dead. You can then do nothing in the game until you come back. If you own buildings, they go to auction and you do not get them back.

A revive brings you back. You keep your rank and your items, but you hand in part of your wealth. After that you are protected against attacks for a while, so you can recover in peace.

Protection for beginners

If you have only just started, you do not have to fear for your life straight away. Players with a low rank cannot be attacked. Only when you climb higher do you become a target.

Use that time to earn money, buy a weapon and protection and look for a family. Together you are stronger, also when things go wrong for once.
