>mini rant
I got my character deleted quite a few times, it's really infuriating for me >.< I didn't lose my money at least, but I did lose my garage and my $80,000 car. It sucked even more because right when I made a new character, my friend told me that if you just leave the game for a while, your character will come back. But since I made a new character already it was a little too late for that ;P
Other than that, online is pretty damn fun! Especially with a couple of friends goofing off with you. Although I wish people weren't such jackasses and stop killing random people the instant they see someone (unless you have like a $9000 bounty or something lol).
