If you've just joined a GTA Online RP (roleplay) server, then you're likely overwhelmed with the number of unfamiliar abbreviations and terms that are being commonly used amongst the GTA roleplaying community.
The two most commonly used abbreviations are VDM and RDM. VDM means Vehicle Death Match while RDM means Random Death Match.
If you are on this page, chances are you are already familiar with the concept of GTA RP and what it is. But, even if you're not, let's first discuss what exactly GTA roleplaying is. GTA 5 roleplaying is a user-created multiplayer mod for the PC version of the game that adds a whole new immersion level to the game.
If you are playing on one of these RP servers, you'll find yourself in a much more civilized lobby instead of the regular chaotic "Oppressor Mark II griefing" lobbies. As the name suggests, you take on a fictional character's role on these servers and play out that character. You can be anyone you want, such as a doctor, a cop, a thief, lawyer, judge, etc. The catch is, you must act like one in the game. Everything is realistic in GTA RP including the way you talk, walk, and even drive vehicles. There are speed limits for certain areas. Your vehicle has fuel and the engine can burn out.
As mentioned earlier, you will find that these servers are much more organized and have a "civilized" environment thanks to the strict rules that all the roleplaying servers enforce. These rules are set in place by the server's admins to ensure that all the players have the best and most immersive roleplaying experience on the server. If there were no rules, then you might as well play the regular GTA Online. Failure to comply with the rules of the server usually results in an instant ban.
