The 3.0 update for the NoPixel server focuses on roleplay in a variety of ways. Characters created in the server will have traits, strengths, and weaknesses, and everyone starts from scratch once they join the server. Players can be civilians with regular jobs like a mechanic or salesman, or they can dive into the world of crime inGrand Theft Auto 5by becoming a meth dealer or a crime lord. The police force in the NoPixel server is made up entirely of players, and there is an in-game court system that allows players who want to be lawyers or enforcers in the prison system to shine.

Streamers from some of these games hopped over to the NoPixel server to take part in the fun, includingcontroversial OfflineTV server member xQc. Other big streamers to join are Shroud, MoonMoon, SureFour, and Sykkuno, among others.
