It seems that you want to create a loap different from others out there, that's good, though you should expect a lot of work. Thinking about new and unique features to a game is always a hard work, and it eventually will be a bit more complex. I didn't played loaps that much, but I think the key to have a successful loap map is to add as much realism as possible.

Ideas: instead of just having those jobs that if you work you receive gold, if you don't work nothing happens; add to this system something more realistic. For example, if you don't work after a day or so, you receive a warning message and your money income will be reduce, after some time happening this you will eventually be fired. On the other hand if you work really hard on the job, your money income will increase, as you get a better rank on that specific job.

add npc villagers a bit of intelligence, rotines and that type of stuff, easily done with GUI, so the city will become more alive. Also, when you commit a crime, if the police has detected you, you get arrested instead of killed.

a suggestion, play a lot of loaps, and see what they have and what they don't, then you would want to add these features to your map, that other loaps don't have.

I can't think of anything else, if I get any idea I'll post here.

Ok
1st, is it just a copy off another loap with your own twist? if so, just stop right now, we have enough of those

if not?
GL making it, if you do make it, it will be a great map, unique from all the other copy's out there.

mmm
advice....
-Make a good collision system, you get killed if you get hit by the -front- of the car.
-Make only 2 heros, male and female, lvs = age,
for example, you start of as a kid, go to school, get xp [only at school ], at lv 5 you get a new hero and your old one goes away, this one is a teen, get a part time job/go to school for xp, lv10 get an adult, job for xp.

cant think of anything else atm
 
Loap gold?!
that loap blew.

I actually made one, Loap Legacy Bronze II
pretty complicated name, but a good map from what I heard.

I don't think the map will go anywhere either because no one hardly wants to play.
Try escaping the word LOAP and create your own name. I think it will attract more attention. Also, start all players at the same level. If anything, just allow the cops.
in order for players to move up, they should have to purchase the hideouts (Yakuza, druglord, etc.)
Good Luck
 
Loap Arena is the most popular loap on US west at the moment.. and the only reason the people that play loap like that one is because it chucked full of custom skins.. the LOAP crowd is easily amused.. if it looks good they like it.. so do whatever it takes to make it LOOK good because thats all they really care about.. it doesnt have to work it just needs to look good.. also they like having ALOT of rigged characters so they can all teleport around being bored outa their mind.. I personally hate loap but i used to love it.. fill it with custom skins, custom abilities, anything and they will come..

Also i agree with anarchon.. there are thousands of versions of loap.. there are very slim chances of yours becoming popular..
