As for our other servers, business will resume, however there may be minor side effects of the downtime that we hope will be removed in short time.Good to hear some news. Thank you for the update, Gandalf.
Watch this board for information about the progress.
Enjoy your Friday with a beer or two.
When we bring SA:MP up, it will be on a RS5 server. It will be a sunrise period, meaning that you can expect some bugs and frequently needed updates. However that shows the active work of the scirpting team that has been mostly hidden this year.
Some times life is complicated. But when you get lemons, make lemonade.
Due to unforseen circumstances we are experiencing downtime, as thsoe of who who actually attempt to go in game might have noticed.
For those who only frequent the forum: we are experiencing some downtime. :D
Now for what caused it and why all scripters and server leaders are running around is something that we will not tire you with. Just be assured that anyone who claims it as a hack or attack is lying though their teeth and should not be taken seriously on any word they say, present past or future.
The downtime has had an effect that we have had time to sit together and discuss the current situation on SA:MP. And the result is that rather than keep players suspended in between not knowing what to do in RS4 as anything acquired will be lost and being unsure about RS5 we will do what we planned before the beta release.

The sunrise period means you have time to learn how to use and abuse the script, and the HQ will watch you like a hawk. The abuses that need to be closed will be.

Anyhow, what's the estimated time of return of the servers?As soon as possible. The entire Argo HQ is working diligently to try and get everything back to where it needs to be. We are also looking into new methods to prevent future issues like this from happening again.
So SA-MP is going to be an incomplete, bugged version? Will everything be saved on this new server or what?SA:MP RS5, as Gandalf mentioned, would take over from the start. Now whether that means a reset from the previous test server or not has not yet been released. To put it simply, SA:MP RS4.1 is gone from player accessibility. SA:MP RS5 will be the new server, bugs or not. Think of it as a public beta testing period, but without SA:MP RS4.1 to fall back on. The more people playing and reporting the bugs, the faster they get fixed, and the more fun people will have. This will also allow SA:MP's Developers to quickly get back to adding new features to make things even more enjoyable.
Will everything be saved on this new server or what?Can anyone ansver to this?
Can anyone ansver to this?
As soon as possible.Hardly an estimation, is it? If there's no real answer, just say so, I realise that Argo HQ are not sitting around doing nothing and that they're working on bringing servers up.
Can anyone ansver to this?I gave you one. That is the closest that we know so far. The SA:MP Developers are still trying to figure out their situation, and the rest of the servers fall under what Gandalf mentioned in his first post. When they know, you'll know. ;)
Hardly an estimation, is it? If there's no real answer, just say so, I realise that Argo HQ are not sitting around doing nothing and that they're working on bringing servers up.That is the only estimation we have right now. It is going to depend on a variety of factors, including how the scripts will react, how the hosting service will react, and how long it will take to set certain things up. It could be one hour, it could be one year. There is no way to tell yet. Decisions are also still being made.
It could be one hour, it could be one year.That's what not having an estimation means, thank you very much. Now, if you find out a proper estimation, please do tell. Cheers.
Is RS5 development continuing and will the release be with the bug reports taken care of + any other changes announced (ie return of PNS and such)?
It will be a sunrise period, meaning that you can expect some bugs and frequently needed updates. However that shows the active work of the scirpting team that has been mostly hidden this year.

Which one of those parts answered which parts of my question(s)? Gandalf has not said whether or not development is continuing currently with the rest of the servers down. Nor has he confirmed whether or not current existing and reported bugs will be gone from the live release. Ser please, if you don't have the answer, don't answer.You need to check the posts again. It says SA:MP's development will continue when the server is online, and bugs will be fixed as people report them. The rest of the servers have also been stated to be back online in due time as they fix their own issues.
Can anyone ansver to this?
So SA-MP is going to be an incomplete, bugged version? Will everything be saved on this new server or what?
I didn't understand this very well. So Gandalf is saying that when server(RS4.1 currently) back up it will be transformed to RS5 or? (just answer simple: yes or no :O)He is saying that the SA:MP RS5 development server will become the new default SA:MP server. SA:MP RS4.1 is no more.
This has been answered several times now.
He is saying that the SA:MP RS5 development server will become the new default SA:MP server. SA:MP RS4.1 is no more.Okay, thanks for answer!

Remember this?Eww, RS4 will miss me!

Wa... Cool news, but I didn't get if everything of the beta stage will be saved to the final version of RS5.It was always said that beta stage information will not be saved, due to the fact that people bugged millions and were encouraged to do it if they wished to.
BTW... Release RS4.1 code :D
This is the best thing I have heard till now.
But.
Mind defining the word "some" ? I remember at the first days of the beta server when the bugged parts were by far more than the actual working ones. The thing is that if there are some bugs and probably unable us from some tasks it is okay . But when that server opens will people be abled to have fun on it or not? Because if not , this is not a very good move from yourside .
Didn't read everything carefuly, but why are all servers down if you're having problems with SAMP?
Due to unforseen circumstances we are experiencing downtime, as thsoe of who who actually attempt to go in game might have noticed.
For those who only frequent the forum: we are experiencing some downtime. :D
Let me define beta for you.Taken from the ISTQB Foundation Syllabus - the exam I took about 2 weeks ago (37/40!!), which is considered a standard over Europe. The definitions can be found from the below Glossary:
A beta test is a limited release of a product with a goal of finding bugs before the final release. Software testing is often referred to by the terms "alpha" and "beta."
Generally speaking, the alpha test is an internal test to find bugs, and the beta test is an external test. During the alpha phase, the product is opened up to employees of the company and, sometimes, friends and family(e.g admins, developers etc). During the beta phase, the product is opened up to a limited number of customers.
Sometimes, beta tests are referred to as "open" or "closed". A closed beta test has a limited number of spots open for testing, while an open beta has either an unlimited number of spots (i.e. anyone who wants to can participate) or a very large number of spots in cases where opening it up to everyone is impractical.

Of course there are going to be bugs when the server is in beta.

Enjoy!
Yes guys very good idea!!!! We are replacing and forcing players to play on the most popular server of this community on an unfinished version of what was planned!!!!!You are more than welcome to not play it if you don't want to. Nothing is being forced.

You are more than welcome to not play it if you don't want to. Nothing is being forced.And you can stop playing high school security guard, because you're quite annoying and nobody cares about your replies.
You're welcome buddy, how about coming up with another worth while solution instead of running your mouth don't you think?I think it was more than logical to get RS5 fully ready and provide a release date of the full version that we've been waiting for over a year now. We weren't informed about being forced to play an unfinished version.
I support the forceful moving to RS5. The faster people get used to it, the faster they realise how awesome it is.
We never force anyone to play. We give a server and scripts, you make the decision to play.
We weren't informed about being forced to play an unfinished version.

Scroll up to the first post, you've been informed in advance.Damn, we really got a smart ass here.
Damn, we really got a smart ass here.
Yes, and completely not give a shit about players' opinions. The same ones that were dedicated to your server for years.
Please stop trolling already.I am not a troll. I may have crazy hair, but it looks nothing like these guys (http://www.seanpaune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Troll-dolls.jpg). :lol:
We could at least continue playing on RS4.1 untill RS5 is nearly bug free and is stablized. Not that I would know better than the scripters.
As we stated there was an issue that occurred where we're unable to do that so easily.I get that. Even though I dont know what the issue is, why not delay it afew months more and fix it. I mean the community has waited for about a year for RS5, surely afew more months wouldn't hurt :rolleyes:
Data loss? I thought this wasn't an attack
afew more months wouldn't hurt :rolleyes:At the rate bugtesting was going, it'd be another year. How about instead of waiting that long we suffer whatever bugs there may be for MUCH less, and then have arguably fully fixed server ready and out?
Data loss? I thought this wasn't an attack
Hmmm I see, Ted. Sure you're right I ain't no scripter. But this isn't the first time servers been down. And I don't recall there being 'MASSIVE' data loss, as Rusty claimed. Sorry if I'm wrong but as you said, I don't work with computers often :rolleyes:
I'm pretty sure that you're lying about data loss.
Just had to say that, I mean there was downtime that lasted for like 2-3 weeks, plenty of attacks and nothing was lost.
This was no attack nor was it anything similar to an attack besides the servers being offline.I never said that it was an attack.
We don't make up stories for the players to hear just to entertain them, what Gandalf has stated is what has happened and what is happening.
"[..] there will be restart in rs5"I thought Teddy saying that keeping current stats would ruin RS5's economy and Gandalf - directly or indirectly - supporting such statements said that already.
I find it shocking that people believe that the management just thought it would be just a fantastic idea to suddenly release RS5 full on. If you don't have the facts, don't speculate about what may or may not have happened.Nobody claimed that the management thought it was a fantastic idea. Nobody is speculating anything. Funny how you just make stuff up spot on. People are just discussing if moving to RS5 straight away is the best option.
We've had server outages for a lot longer with a lot less of an explanation for a longer period of time. We always recover.As I said, I wouldnt know better than the scripters. I did not mean any disrespect.
Have no worries.
Nobody claimed that the management thought it was a fantastic idea. Nobody is speculating anything. Funny how you just make stuff up spot on.Was not referring to you, rather the one who was believing the words about data loss from Gandalf were a lie.
Of course there are going to be bugs when the server is in beta.
I can only answer that when the server is online.And maybe you know how long this will take? days-week-Month?
...if you do your part in helping others and yourselves with the transition into RS5 we may return the favour and assist you in getting setup once again.What do you need help in ? :D
I would imagine fixing the bugs that never got fixed because everyone ignored RS5 beta after a week of it's launch.After RS5 beta release, they repaired 20-30 bugs in day, and i think its alot.
I would imagine fixing the bugs that never got fixed because everyone ignored RS5 beta after a week of it's launch.And you're forgetting that it wasn't an obligation for players to spend most of their time on the beta server to find bugs. Fixing bugs is a job for the scripters, not the players.
And you're forgetting that it wasn't an obligation for players to spend most of their time on the beta server to find bugs.And yet you find it's your obligation to moan about players not spending time on the beta server, resulting it being unfinished?
And yet you find it's your obligation to moan about players not spending time on the beta server, resulting it being unfinished?I'm moaning because I don't agree with your opinion? Why not think of another argument...
Scripters can not and never will be able to spot all the bugs, that's why there's beta releases, so that the public can use the power of ignorance and numbers to spot the rest of the bugs they have not found. I think it was Teddy who said it, that there's a difference between a team of people who are acutely aware of how scripts are meant to work and meant to be used and horde of players doing things in a way that they should not be done. The fact that we did get those 20-30 reports proves it more than anything, and the fact that we got close to zero after people lost interest in RS5 Beta reinforces that with a platinum wall.
Unless you think that it means all the bugs are fixed, in which case, stop moaning.
And yet you find it's your obligation to moan about players not spending time on the beta server, resulting it being unfinished?I was never "moaning" about players being the reason RS5 is not finished.
Fixing bugs is a job for the scripters, not the players.
Lets take the amount of bugs that was found during the first day. In those 24 hours, it would take us maybe 1 week to find the same amount of bugs. The more players there are just playing, the better as bugs will be found faster and we can fix them faster.Not even relevant to my statement.
No, you're moaning about "being forced" to play on an "unfinished server". Which is the result of lack of players on the beta. Which, I'm sure, you figured out by yourself, but just wanted to nag about the wording of that statement.Please stop misguiding others. This was not the given reason for us having to play on an unfinished version.
Scripters know that script A is supposed to do B and C. They tried doing D, E and F, maybe even G with that script, and found no problems. Now comes 50 players doing every letter of the alphabet you can think of, just to see what would happen or maybe for less sincere reasons if it's money related. Suddenly, turns out trying to do X, Y and Z is bugged.And you're implying that every script has so many options? Unless you scripted it yourself and can explain everything to me, please don't present such examples...
If you're under belief that it's scripter's responsibility to do every single thing imaginable (and even unimaginable) with every single one of the scripts, even the tiniest and most simple ones, one by one, then you're seriously misguided.It's the truth actually. They took the job for a reason. No player logs in the server having to spam commands and find bugs, it's the player's choice.
Never has been nor ever will be scripter's job to make sure everything works in every way possible upon initial release. Otherwise they would still be bugtesting RS3.And you know this from experience? Quite funny, considering your join date is 21/02/2012. :|
And you know this from experience? Quite funny, considering your join date is 21/02/2012. :|The funny part is that you assume my experience in gaming community started when I joined Argonath. Due to being the only child for quite a while and being rather spoiled as far as technology goes, that statement is as incorrect as Petarda's assumption that any of this bickering has any impact whatsoever as to the future of RS4.1/RS5.
<Antonio's continued rant>
Since when is moaning and arguing the same thing?
Actually Antonio, you said you don't know how its exactly suppose to work. That's actually a better thing. That means by not knowing chances are you're going to put in values that aren't suppose to be, or try to use it in a way not intended. That is precisely the expectation.
On top of this as Zaila mentioned it would have taken us months to find the volume of bugs located by players thus far on the open beta server. If we had as much effort on the first 24 hours from all the players, we would have all of the bugs fixed within a week and we can release the server and start talking about changes to suit. Rather just complaining about the choices we've had to made when you've done nothing productive.
When your "arguments" lack constructive, or productive meaning which offer a solution of compromise. (e.g all of your posts) Both parties in an argument (or more) go into an argument with attempts to leave with something accomplished.
Anyway , is there any date for the server get back ?
Anyway , is there any date for the server get back ?Quote failed. Gandalf said we will wait approximately few days more until all services back online.
To Rusty: You might wish to read some topics a bit better.Maybe i can ask you this-Hows going with repairing our host?
To Antonio: as said nobody forces you to play on any version of any server. Also nobody forces you to help out the scripters and management in finding bugs and improving the server.
However if you do not wish to cooperate in improvements, do not be surpsied if people also do not wish to cooperate when you are asking for something.
This is just madness :app:
We'll probably lose more players than we gain..
Don't consume alcoholic beverages, it's unhealthy and haram.Because everything you do is so halal, right?
Because everything you do is so halal, right?Yes, how about you?
Guys should stay calm, as if there aren't enough topics to be bombarded with "omg less players" or any "omg <insert something>" moments...
Or maybe we'll gain more players who've long lost interest in RS4.1 and have something fresh. Besides, it's more fun after a fresh start.
Just about every first in the history of the world was considered crazy. YouTube's updates are crazy, but i'm pretty sure you'd prefer today's YouTube to the one three years ago.
A very good point. I'm still mad at YouTube's change to Google+ comments... but I'm sure I'll get over it as will everyone else. Happens everytime they make a change, same as Facebook. :D
What's wrong with Facebook? It's getting better for me, except group features in fb app on iOS.
Hate the chat heads on the mobile app... gets in the way :PUseful for me since I like to watch youtube while chatting.
The Argonath nerves are now twitching, we want argonath!, we want argonath! ;)You have Argonath right here.

I really don't want to have to tell some certain individuals to kindly f**k off for mentioning my name over and over.These are still public forums, if you involve yourself in a controversial topic with a highly aggressive position over one side of it, then you can expect your name to come up now and then, Antonio.
These are still public forums, if you involve yourself in a controversial topic with a highly aggressive position over one side of it, then you can expect your name to come up now and then, Antonio.You were one of the candidates for my post.
If these conditions are disagreeable with you, you always have the option of keeping a low profile in such topics.
Moan-of-the-Year award winning posts do not count as keeping a low profile.
Just friendly advice here, cheers.
You were one of the candidates for my post.But I only mentioned your name once, if we ignore the previous post?
I really don't want to have to tell some certain individuals to kindly f**k off for mentioning my name over and over.
You're free to do it with no attempt of ass-licking.
If your gonna publish the criticism be ready for the feedback to your own statements. This involves the mentioning of your name. Don't like it, don't talk.You too.
But I only mentioned your name once, if we ignore the previous post?
Anyway, as there are no real consequences of you telling me to kindly f**k off, I'm not worried too much. Instead, I'm still overly pleased over the news of RS5 moving over to Extra-Open Beta.
Sounds like this Antonio is a handfull, time too knock him off the crime ladder, back too the bottom of the pyramid you go ;)
Exception for you, you don't need to thank me.
You too.
I recon Antonio is a made up name, his real name is bob, doesnt look too good as a boss name, bob the don ;)

I'm baffled as too how bad this thunder and lightening was too shut down the servers, get that weather every week here in the UK with no downtime? :DYes and sun is bright, and you are cool.
On a serious note based on the backlash from the community against those who think they speak for the community, I'd say we've about settled that(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8268/2lnv.jpg)disputechat.

Why don't you let the moderators handle it and you worry about something else. There is nothing wrong with this topic, sometimes the topic goes from one to another in transitions. We've been on the same point about RS5 taking over RS4 just some people opening their mouth with what they think is the truth and nothing else is valid. In such case we, including other community members stood up against them. Some actions may not have been very conventional, but, sometimes people need a taste of their own medicine.Yes, but still, this is way off-topic:

What are you waiting to use the "Report to moderator" function then?not even going to bother explaining you... But, I have done that already.
Is there any fixed date ,when Rs5 is officially gonna release ?
If you're having problems try using the direct IP (95.141.37.186:7777)So do I need to invent a time machine to play RS4?
When we bring SA:MP up, it will be on a RS5 server.
Wow, you sound like the Youngsters I hear on XBOX Live
Is the server up? Im unable to checks...
I wont fall for your lies puppet, Los Zetas will control all weapons and drugs in RS5,First family to run over by FBI in RS5: Los Zetas.

Exactly most people don't use their real name.I do :D
Antonio, I totally understand your point of view - It sucks that you spent 5 years on creating a nice bed and now have to give up. Remember that everyone else is in the same picture here. The issues that you are facing we are all facing. But lets think about this for one second - If we do not move forward now - Argonath SAMP will not grow into a better one which it will be.Yet again, DellStorm shows how one should conduct themselves properly when presented with a statement that they do not necessarily agree with, rather than just dismissing him as a moaner and believing that the label "moaner" automatically nullifies any points or views of theirs.
you're telling me they're just going to leave a community they formed strong friendships and spent some of their most troubled years in?If they can't get over the change from RS4.1 to RS5 and value their assets more than the friendship, sure. In that case, you should be more than happy to be rid of these people, as they clearly need to re-evaluate what's important.

Wrong topic for this theme.This is a topic posted in News and Announcments in the Argonath RPG comunity forum meaning that it's about all of the servers, besides that he has the right to ask anything he wants to in a PUBLIC discussion, as Sauron stated not so long ago "once a topic is made everyone and anyone is allowed to express his own opinion, in a respectfull and non provoking manner" and besides the point, why are you trying to argue with him, don't like him; ignore him.
As we are bringing back things lets give full information on hwy we made the decisions we did.
Tuesday morning we made a rather shocking discovery. Due to a misunderstanding the data center had closed out the Argonath game server. In the communication that followed it was found an even worse thing, The data had already been formatted.
This was especially bad because the backup we usually have in multiple place had been temporarily concentrated on exactly that server.
As a result 4 months of data had been wiped out, for all servers and including some of my programming work.
With this loss, we have put it to the leaders of each server how to proceed. For most servers, the data will be reconstructed as good as possible. But for SA:MP we found that it posed many problems.
Not only would it disadvantage a lot of people if 4 months of data were removed, it also brings the issue that players might not be interested to rebuild just to lose it again when RS5 is near. There for it was decided to speed up the RS5 arrival and fix bugs while we are running.
Rather than looking at it negative, we have to learn and move forward.
First thing learned is never to have one place for recent backups. Second understand that mistakes of others can be more costly as your own.
One more positive: we got a better deal out of it that makes up in the long run.
Put IV server back up gandalf my bro ;)Read below:

Wow, that is horrible. Does that mean that everything that happened in RS4 in the past 4 months has been wiped? Damn, thats a shitty ass occurance.
Hello Gandalf, I have a question regarding RS4. Will RS4 will soon re-open or we just have to play RS5 now?
Thank you sir. I have one more question regarding SAPD. What is the way of SAPD in RS5?You join SAPD as soon as you pass the police test(in-game), ARPD is over.
Thank you sir. I have one more question regarding SAPD. What is the way of SAPD in RS5?
Sooo, The server is down again.. When will the stable server be online?The server is stable, the downtime is caused by script malfunction, which is the whole point of the beta. The more server crashes we get now, the less of them we'll be getting later.

Wait what? You guys don't have freecops anymore? O.o
Soo, can someone hare the IP?

He was banned from the RS5 server when it was opened to public for the first time.
But I got the ban on Beta stage.. I tought i will not have ban now... Please unban me.
To clarify...
1. We haven't had Freecops for a year or more now - the whole point of ARPD Officers was to try and remove the discrimination.
2. The change to SAPD Officers is not to limit RPing cops - the only difference is there is a small course in the script to do before you can start patrolling.
3. The ARPD is not over - Our beloved ARPD Commissioner is still ruling over the SAPD and FBI. The new SAPD Officers were renamed, pretty much, which stops any confusion about authority between ranks!
I hope this is useful...if I am wrong, someone please correct me :gand:
/me gives a round of applause.
Oh and one last rage to SugarD. If someone mentions Gandalf with a question, I think it's unneeded to speak for him even if you do not know where you're talking about. Your name is still SugarD on the forums last time I checked ... and oh, speaking about SA:MP leadership. There is no 'we' in that case, you only lead LU and this one Vice City server (VC:MP or MTA:VC, dunno). If a regular player does it, you'll personally warn him yourself ... I know it happens :)
I think it's unneededI think this was unneeded as well.

A very good point. I'm still mad at YouTube's change to Google+ comments...To be fair, the change to the new comment system is a genuine fuckup. It doesn't even work correctly and absolutely nobody likes it, so it's not that good an analogy for RS5.
What do you have against supermotard420? Sure, his way of getting his point across is not the nicest one, but I can't say I disagree with what he says.I like how you genuinely don't see that he is trolling, and are actually agreeing with him.
You join SAPD as soon as you pass the police test(in-game), ARPD is over.You know that the SAPD is (and always has been) in the ARPD right?
You know that the SAPD is (and always has been) in the ARPD right?I do know that
I like how you genuinely don't see that he is trolling, and are actually agreeing with him.The irony.
Why are you posting here anyway?Do you really think that you're "popular" or something?
The irony.Well, there isn't any. Please explain where you see it.
