murder got replaced with jailbreak and you can buy vip with paypal only !

Murder was closed down in late May as that was one of my CM campaign promises: shut down Murder and launch a Jailbreak server with the help of DEADMONSTOR and Clarky. Personally I wouldn't mind "reviving" the Murder server on the American host if we ever get slots for it - Murder servers tend to do better in that region regardless. But currently that's only an idea and nothing else.

And no, you cannot pay for VIP using your Steam Wallet.

You may be able to buy through your steam if you get a reliable person to gift it to you like you give them the steam money and they use gift vip

While i was playing there would be up to 15-20 players on the Murder server. I got told that it was because of the lack of players. And i've been asked multiple times In-Game [SSRP] if ZARP has a Murder server. And i would always unconsciously lie to players saying that there is one not knowing it has been removed. And i agree that launching it on the American host would be smart, if improved i think it would be almost constantly full just like Prophunt is every Saturday and Sunday night.

Started a new discussion to see if others would play it again on ZARP?
