Greenville

Greenville is a town and a city roleplay game based on the suburban area of Greenville, Wisconsin. Founded by milk74l8O, the game focuses on driving around and living life as a citizen of Greenville. The game is held under the group Greenville, Wisconsin. Most of the game is located within the city limits with some areas being near the city limits (adding rural driving opportunities for players).

History

There are four versions of Greenville known to exist (also known as beta's). The first beta is currently unlisted, but can be found here. The second beta can be found here. The third beta has three known saved editions available for players to play. This includes the initial release, the mid-release, and the final release. The full release is currently available for play. On April 1st, 2023 and April 1st, 2024 it was temporarily released as gRenVile with the name of the city changing to gRenVile as well as an April Fools Joke for April Fools Weekend.

Driving

Driving is a key aspect of the game. Players primarily earn income by driving, with job paychecks serving as a second source of income. Income is usually spent on new cars.

Income earned through driving (also known as Drive-To-Earn) can be modeled by the quadratic equation $e = -650(d - 1.104)^2 + 750$, where $e$ represents the total earnings and $d$ represents the total distance driven in miles; it should be noted that $e$ ≥ $100$. The maximum amount that is possible is $750, but most people experience a maximum of $749 in an earn cycle as it is very difficult to drive the exact number of miles to earn $750. The optimum grind speed is about 61 miles per hour. There is a definitive minimum amount of cash earned ($100) which is applied when the miles driven results in a cash earnings of less than $100. For reference, drivers earn approximately $749 per mile driven. Obeying the speed limit and following applicable traffic laws helps to maximize the amount earned. Roleplaying with other people can also help maximize your earnings and makes the gameplay experience a little more exciting.

Mouse steer also works. Pressing FN and insert will turn on mouse steer. Mouse steer is the process of accelerating, braking, and turning your car with it. Accelerating works by holding left or right key. It depends what key is your primary one.

On most roads, the speed limit is 55 mph (89 km/h) regardless of whether the area is suburban or rural though some residential/smaller roads can be posted at 25 mph or 35 mph (40-56 km/h). Most areas in the game can be considered semi-rural being half suburban half rural. In the main center of Greenville the main road has a 45 mph (72 km/h) speed limit with the other roads having 35 mph or 55 mph limits. Most rural areas have 2 lanes on the road (1 each direction) while on busier suburban and semi-rural roads, you will have 4 lanes (2 in each direction). Some rural roads, however, also have four lanes on the west side of the map and near the airport. Highways you can drive on in the city are US 15, Wisconsin State Route 76, and Wisconsin State Route 96.

Traffic signals can be found at major intersections throughout the game, which operate on a timed basis. The busiest intersections on the east side of the map (near the dealership) are large roundabouts.

Driving vehicles owned by someone else

Prior to 1.16, it was impossible to drive vehicles which belonged to other players. By default, the driver's seat always remained locked, even when they left their vehicle.

In the 1.16 update, it is now possible to toggle a lock button to the left of the screen, and leave a vehicle unlocked. This allows other players to drive vehicles that do not belong to them. In addition, this allows for more opportunities in roleplay, including carjacking scenarios.

Cash Flow

Sources of Income

• Driving earns a minimum of $100 for every earn cycle (which is usually per minute). The amount earned can be greater than $100 - it increases for a greater distance per minute, but decreases after a certain point to disincentivize careless driving in sports cars.
  • It is best to drive at around 60 or 70 mph (61 mph is best) to increase average income earned by driving around.
• Non-Interactive jobs (the grey ones) give a payout of $650 per five to six minutes. All jobs give the same amount, there is no variance. It is known that job earnings do not occur in some servers; this may be due to anti-AFK farming measures. Interactive jobs require the person to work that job, but SOME OF THEM give payouts like regular non-interactive jobs.
• Cash can sometimes be earned through time-limited events and promotions. An example of a recent event is the 2021 Halloween Event.
• Cash can also be earned through illicit means.
  • One example of this is through away-from-keyboard driving (also known as AFK grinding or AFK farming). The process mainly involves continually driving in circles at the airport within a considerable speed (to approach the highest Drive-to-Earn payout). As this exploits game bugs and (sometimes) involves third-party software, performing this puts your account at risk of being banned and having its data (partially) wiped.
  • Another example involves the use of teleportation exploits. There are anti-exploit systems in place to detect such movements.

Sources of Expenses

• Fuel is an expense for all non-electric cars at $4.05 a gallon ($3 prior to update 1.21.0) - when fuel runs out, you need to pay at the gas station to refuel. Electric cars charge for free.
• Of course, purchasing new vehicles costs money and can be considered a personal expense.
• You can avoid expenses by getting a job with a job vehicle. You don't have to pay for these cars, and when they run out of gas, you can respawn them and get a full tank of gas.
• You could also avoid fuel expenses by owning a hydrogen vehicle. However, the only hydrogen vehicle in the game (the 2017 Vellfire Akua) has been removed from the game, so this is no longer possible.
