However, what if someone robbed you, or just stole your money in some way. Are you allowed to take your money back from him even if it exceeds $500?

For example, someone scammed you for $8,000, you are allowed to take your $8,000 back.

Yes, as long as it's no more than the amount of money you were scammed for.

Robbery limit is $500 so no one can't rob more than that.
If someone robs drugs or guns off you you're allowed to rob that back but you can't convert that in money.

If player X loans out $5,000 to player B and player B doesn't repay him after several warnings, is player X allowed to rob it back from player B by however much B has on hand? (Of course they'd only take back the amount they're owed, not all of player B's money.)

If you have been scammed, you are allowed to rob your money back even if it's more than $500.

I always wondered if you can rob a dead person, like for example you get into a heated argument with the other player, the argument escalates and you pull out your gun and shoot the other player, then afterwards you rob them. So I was wondering if this would be allowed?

This could easily be abused as a go-around for the "no killing after robbery" rule as people could just kill someone and then rob them all the time, making the rule pretty pointless.

But wouldn't that be punishable as 'poor reason to kill' ?

Exactly. Unless they have a good reason to kill, they'll get reported and a-jailed.

If 4 guys rob me together, do I have to give them $500 per person or just $500 in total.

In was in belief that in have to give $500 total but I got in an argument recently. 4 robbers demanded I give them $500 each.

It's $500 in total, so $125 each.

500$ is a joke. Why not increase it to 2k? or at least 1k. I mean you risk getting busted and loosing your knife/sidearm just for 500$. 500$ in game is nothing nowdays.

Cause this is a game for roleplaying, not a game to go round pointing your guns at everyone to get their e-monies.

So robbing someone eliminates any possibility for roleplay? That doesnt make any sense at all. If you just aim your gun and rob someone non-rply you just report the player. In addition e-money is an important aspect of the game. For example if you are roleplaying a mobster or even a gang member you must kick a percentage of your earnings to your higher ranking members, so making money is very important. Robbing someone for 500$ is pure nonsense. The limit should be increased or at least doubled.

There's far too many robberies happening around LS. The limit is down also for the reason so it doesn't become the single occupation on the server. People who want to roleplay robbing others and do it merely for that same purpose, don't really care too much about how many $$$ they're gonna profit from it. Increasing the pay increases the demand. And we don't need chain robberies.
