Why is noone roleplaying in this server? I played like almost two days on it and I haven't seen anyone roleplaying properly , you know with /me and /say and acting like in damn real life , I thought the server is a roleplay one.
-
No one Roleplaying?
This is a Light RP Server, And trust me, There's roleplay taking place.
You just miss out, Or don't instigate it.

Dig longer, you'll find something that suits you. But, depends on your character. What's your IG name ?
-
It's a light RP server as far as I know.
-
More like freeroam

My IG name is Aaron_Duval

Hi Reventz,
As someone mentioned already we do not force players to roleplay in our server. This doesn't mean we don't encourage or disallow it :) You just need to find out whether someone is inclined to roleplay.
Please note that the server hasn't been running for too long yet. This implies we still didn't reach a significant amount of regular players who got used to the way we play, and roleplay ofcourse.
This is just matter of time. Things will get better and better :)
-
All right , if you say so ....I'll just continue to get weed and soon enough I'll start to look for people to create a drug dealing organisation in Liberty city ...I hope I can do it....See you in game then :)
-
Stick around and you will find role play, more often during peak hours. At the time of this post regulars are just starting to log in.
We have several hundred new accounts registered every day, some of these new players are unfamiliar with roleplaying and might need a little help or push in the right direction, however we never enforce RP rules strictly or enforce the IC/O OC format.
Another thing to note is there is a difference between a roleplaying server and a real life server, we are not the latter.

As said before its a light RP server if your really looking to RP if i may suggest you should look into Sforza i dont mean to join up but to try RP with them i know a few of the guys there from an old family called Blaze when Blaze closed almost everyone went to Sforza they are real good RPers and awesome people to hang out with :) also if you feel up to it you could try RPing as a cop (just be sure to read all of the rules and stuff first).
Dont give up hope just yet there is something for everyone on Argonath. ;)
Edit
sorry just noticed this is the GTA:IV forums xD not sure if Sforza exists on the GTAIV:MP but the same still goes theres something for everyone :)
-
Role play used to be vivid before the server went down for quite a while, now that a lot of new players have joined, there isn't as much.
-
And it's even harder to roleplay when the server keeps going bananas

This confuses me. I know there's been times where someone does not want to RP, and some admins say "If you dont want to RP, then /q"
and they have given kicks for this. Its happened to me once. I cant remember the exact situation. I just know I hadn't really roleplayed to get suspected. I got suspected I think when I was flying a helicopter towards my house and cops suspected me for whatever reason.
So when I landed, I waited for cops to show up. And I walked towards them and sat down in their car because I think at the time I had to leave soon. I dont remember what I said, I just know I was kicked for not roleplaying. I didnt evade or anything so I didnt initiate any RP.

That was a bad teacher then.

Well FYI it was on SAMP. But I thought IVMP and SAMP had the same rules, right?
With big communities it's hard to get everyone on the same page D:
-
Just got a nice idea, for a actual roleplay. How about me being a Squirrel the next time I come in game? :)
-
You make it what it is.
If you make it non RP-server it is a non RP-server.
If you make your RPs strict you make the server strict around you.
Someone have to start. How about the you, as the author of this topic, start it?
There are no bad role-play scenarios. As a good role-player you are supposed to role-play in every situation, regardless how other player's are acting.
-

This is honestly the best and simple way to word this. If you experience a lack of roleplay, its on you not the server. I had quite a load of fun last time I was on IV:MP with Hess and Janek, don't know how anyone could really miss out to be honest.

I was just like you. Adapt to the atmosphere around here and then study it. After this fact I opened two RP factions and I intend to open another one lol. It's not that tough, patience is the key. Take Twister as an example motherf**ker xDDD

Regardless how the other player's are acting ? You mean when I try to roleplay some guy with a bus comes and rams me like it's the end of the world and I'm a freaking zombie ? Roleplay with a polish guy that's saying "I is roleplaying" ? Yea...you try that....Tried it, didn't work....
-

The Roleplay is everywhere.
What I mean to say is that there are two factions of players..The one who Roleplay and other who don't(They come in to distress themselves)
If you want to Roleplay you'll have to search for them..And by a 2 days experience won't help you that much..Play for a week and achieve your Passport and License then you'll notice the roleplay.

You don't have to.
Just call for Emergency Services such as Paramedic..They'll surely come and Roleplay Healing your injuries.
Anyway,
The "Argonath RPG" server is a bit of Freeroam..
Converting your IRL into In-Game habits.
We have passport for you to become a citizen and able to purchase house/businesses(LIke IRL)
And License to be able to own your own cars (Still like IRL)

@revents u should difference between rulebreakers, like the busrammer ( what the /report command is for ) , new freeroamers who didnt get that your words to him are in roleplay manner and, in example, the guy who sit next to gas station with his (police)car, waiting for a random roleplay situatiuon in which he can rescue, rob, or selling u drugs. but may he is the same way unsure with who he can roleplay or not.
as told, after some time on server u will see with whose players u can start roleplays and with whos not.

The server came back just 1 month ago, after 1 week, server became shown in server list, this led a huge rush of ivmpers into argonath who actually doesnt know anything about rp cos as we all know, there is o proper server to rp(at least can say no international server). So these ppl just dont know what to do, how to have fun.. So they just come to freeroam, killing eachother or copbaiting etc. So there is the problem: A player who is willing to rp just cant find anybody to rp because lots of ppl are still new to "RP" . They just dont know how can they have fun by that way.
I remember when I was newbie, wasnt messing to crowd much and actually knew nothing about rping. I was just going in scripted jobs and doing jobs to earn some money. As the time passes, I started to see how ppl are rping little things/jobs etc. while they were rping, I was standing near em and following what was happening all the time. By that way I started to rp and actually learned how to have fun by doing that. Lol at first I was like "wth are we doing lol" then time passed and here I am, still in this server cos I know how I can have fun by rping.
The point is, new players who are willing or not willing have to see some rp examples to learn how to rping. Then they just gonna start to try theirself, or if not interested with roing, gonna leave server. As veterans/regulars ourjob is to welcome every rp try we face with and actually make em see that actually its fun and its possible. I rarely roleplay with new players and mostly if I find a scenario in my head I just try to do it with some old player that I know they gonna respond positively to my rp attempt. What I really care while rping is to show as much new players as I can to show em some examples.
Some days ago I made Casper to send a message to some high rank LCPD member meaning that some truck in dukes was transporting drugs. By that way, I saw mihail just warned all cops through radio and a rp began when we faced with each other. After an hardly done rp (sadly due to carkillers/cophunters[RIP 5 cops, this country will remember u xD] I saw that some ppl were actually willing to rp, yes a basic one but at least its something for our new players.
All in all, what I mean is, just find some ppl, with including some ppl who rp willing and start to rp with them, saying "no one is rping" wont help anything. You just have to start to walking on the path, to have followers with you.
Lol I also hate to start a rp all the time , I just wish someone who will properly rp include me in a rp but eh, none gonna try, but as long as I keep displaying examples, I know at least a little part of the players will be willing to ro and try about that.

as many people state here we aint known to have script to babysit you and that aint our goal eather, when you want to roleplay your only limit in our server is your imagination, so do whatever you want as long it's inside our server rules. And when you find out what argonathrpg is about, you also find out why we are called ''the world of it's own!''
