Title: Let's get real - part 2 - RS5 or RS4?
Post by: Frank_Hawk on January 25, 2014, 12:35:12 pm
The Argonath SA:MP server is in a state of great depression.

We can collectively continue looking at the past, critiquing the implementation of RS5 or we can concentrate on remediating the unprecedented challenges we face. Summarising many of the points I’ve seen on this topic is that RS5 lacks the spirit, personality and flare of its predecessors. Combined with internal and external factors which were out of our control supported by the lack of leadership post-implementation – we all need to pull together and provide real solutions that the leadership (whenever they become active) can consider therefore we can provide some real hope of returning to relative normality.

RS5 is facing enormous challenges:

1)   Economic stagnation is demoralising the community translating to players becoming frustrated and leaving. For example, players are less likely to spend because they have less money meaning less money is being pumped into the economy i.e. taxi driver have no fares

2)   Groups and families accounted for nearly 2/3 of the community and with no real fundamental method of making money through non-public jobs, these groups have grinded to a halt meaning that major public services like the SAPD have also stagnated.

3)   The removal of long standing functionality attributed to the ‘spirit, flare and personality’ of Argonath (i.e. RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4) was removed. This core functionality being removed has changed the game mode again translating to players leaving.

Personally, the above issues are very difficult to resolve with the current climate in the server. I’ve mentioned some corrective actions in my previous post but nobody except JDC or Mario Rinna has even attempted to work towards a resolution, instead opting for rhetorical nonsense over resolution.

The major argument for RS5 is that new features will provide solutions to the points above, however how can solutions be provided with no real player base left. The lack of experience in the server’s management is regretfully beginning to show and the arm’s length leadership of Gandalf is causing irreversible damage to the community. We need to actively encourage and discuss in open the solutions that the management/leadership are considering otherwise players are going to continue leaving.

Mario Rinna suggested another alternative which is now a serious and heavily endorsed idea which is to roll back to the last backup of RS4 and restore some confidence and normality into the server. This is a suggested solution as RS5 has been given reasonable teething time to self-correct but now having seen the dust settle, the core problems persist with no real communicated resolution on the horizon. 

I usually don’t get involved in server management issues anymore given my past, but seeing the state of the Argonath SA:MP community saddens me to a great degree, seeing all the aspirations of past leaders, managers, admins, players and historic players being quashed into ashes. We still have time to turn this around and we have the collective responsibility to restore the server’s competitive stance on the world SA:MP stage in hope of securing the best talent out there and continued organic growth.

Please vote and where possible providing some reasoning in the form of a response to this topic.

I believe RS5 should stay, but the assets of RS4 returned (vehicles, properties). RS5 is good, but it has some negative points, like jurisdiction, economy (the best way to legally earn money is by being a fireman) and PNS.

I don't see RS4 ever coming back (temporarily or otherwise) regardless of the support, due to the public stance taken, and backing off from that would cause more harm than good.

What I do see happening, though, is people finally realising how old SA:MP is and moving on to other games. Where before this fact was clouded by the involvement RS4.1 & The community provided, now... Yeah.

There's counter argument that other servers are still going on, but apart from 1 or 2 other servers, I haven't heard of Argonath players moving on to a different SAMP RP server, and the attempts to copy RS4 are far from thriving. If you have to start anew, might as well do it in one of the hundreds of other multiplayer games available.

It's obvious it's not just players getting disheartened by the results of RS5, it's the development team as well, where before we would get huge list of bugfixes over weekend, there's not much going on anymore. Yeah, sure, behind the scenes stuff, highly doubt it though. And I would make the case for management as well, as I have not heard much of in-game involvement. What's that? Management is working more on forums or behidn the scenes than in-game? Yeah, well, so is the rest of the community.

Gandalf's judgement of RS5 being the last gamemode is correct.. But it came too late, 2 years ago might have done it, but now, the player base has been relying on regulars and old players for months, very few new players stayed around for long even in RS4. Nothing to be done about it, sadly.

So alternative proposal... Invest power in new projects? M2MP and others? The community is still alive and wishes to stay together, that can not be denied, we just need to have appealing means to do it.

Mind you, that I'm basing this off of my own experience, 'cos having limited time for gaming, I loved spending it with the diverse, involving community of SA:MP RPG, not so much with the SP community of fireduty and the attempts to MP from the police community. I'm not badmouthing either of them, it's just the way it is every time I'm online, which is getting less and less due to the above reasons. The purpose of chatting with friends on Argonath is more successfully accomplished through Skype and forums now as well, so yeah.


So I vote for neither, I vote for a 3rd option of finding new things to push for. If it's done, it's going to be a massive investment and risk, having to develop a game mode in something you're not sure will get a following. But it might pay off in the end.


And thus we begin another large topic. And don't moan about it, forums are now /p chat.

Anyone who feels bad about the state the server is in would do best to go in and play instead of talking about it.
As long as all people do is talk here, nothing is going to change.

I voted for RS5, because I believe it could be something. But it's not really done. So actually, I would like to see RS4 be back for the moment and removal of RS5 until it's playable more than being fireman and gain money. I've been roleplaying with mechanics and done things like that, but we don't have any major groups in RS5 which makes it very boring and none alive server.

Properties are a big issue in my mind, the none working business, house, loan, item system does not really work very well, some case it does not even work at all. As a group leader, I find it really hard to stick my own group to this server, as it cannot hold any properties at all. You can not put any footprints on the server, which in my opinion is the most important thing for a mafia/family like us. Vehicles are bugged and cannot be bought, therefor we need to stay with the state vehicles which are around. Same thing applies for the thing I wrote above, it has to be fixed since it most be used for groups that required those things. More or less put a footprint on the server.

I find the jobs really hard except for being fireman, which I think is totally wrong. In my opinion you, the developers should make the job system as equal to other jobs as possible, so every citizen in Argonath have the same chance, not only Fireman which makes thousand a day. It also bother me that the economy is in such case that only a few player have money. If RS5 is ever going to work, the state most pay out paydays at the beginning to stimulate the economy. It may be against what you guys want, that people should earn their own money. But how do you think they gonna roleplay and earn there own money if nobody but few greedy one got money?

The leadership of Argonath is under all critics. You're are still heading under the strict rulership of dicipline and no joking around. There is around 5 people around and 1-2 people of these are admins. They warn and kick you for reasons that may not even applies under such matters when there is just 5 people around. Which makes them even more clearly that Administrations have a big role in this case. After all, who wanna play on a server with abusive/angry admins on?

RS5 has after all been a dramatic update which in my opinion does not hold same standard as Argonath once were. Hopefully it changes over time again and we see the glory of Argonath once shine from the darkness.

That's true. But it's hard to break the loop of everyone going "I would play if others would"

What I do see happening, though, is people finally realising how old SA:MP is and moving on to other games.

This is not true.

I joined another community 3 years ago and the maximum players allowed on the server was 300, and now it's increased to 530 and it's almost full 24/7 (guess you know which one I talk about).
The owners of SA:MP even said the players of SA:MP are increasing.
Title: Re: Let's get real - part 2 - RS5 or RS4?
Post by: JDC on January 25, 2014, 02:38:43 pm
Players on SA:MP servers may be increasing, but the number of servers are not.



We have to face this fact: RS4 is not coming back as the main gamemode. Not only because years were spent working on RS5, but because RS4 is also technologically obsolete.

What we need to do is pitch in together to get the system of RS5 going, each of us with our own contributions. Complaining and escaping only will not solve anything, just as looking at an apple in a tree and waiting for it to fall into your mouth will not get you a fresh apple if you did that instead of shaking the tree or climbing it.

Still, progress has to come from both sides. Anything the developers will do will be useless if players will not do anything at all either. So instead of waiting for the apple to fall from the tree, do something. Make your own contribution.

What can this contribution be, you may ask? Go ingame. Catch a few suspects. Evade some cops. Do some fire missions. Start an RP initiative. Discuss randomly on /p. Become a pioneer. Continue the work of your faction. Earn some money. Explore the script for hidden possibilities others do not know. Find other ways to make this community better. Roleplay. Get others to roleplay with you. Get others to come. Most importantly, find ways to have fun. You don't have to do all of those, even just one or a couple is already a contribution.

There are so many ways that even a single individual can contribute to this community. Furthermore, if you look back through Argonath history then you will see that many of the greatest changes were started at their roots by a single individual, or a small group of individuals.

The problem is a lack of players and people complaining instead of doing something.
The solution is to pitch in, give effort, help get this community going, and to have fun.

Now what do you want to be a part of, the problem or the solution?
I've already made my choice, and I've chose the latter. Now what is yours?

Post by: Pingster on January 25, 2014, 02:52:05 pm
At this point I doubt people hate RS5 as a gamemode, people just hate it for what releasing it did to the playerbase and community. RS5 is a good script, it can offer so much, specially when the chinks get sorted out.

JDC, your list of contributions, several of them have major flaws right now, I'm sure you can figure them out. They would be fixed with a bigger playerbase, but that will hardly get sorted out as easy as saying "Log on and play".
Title: Re: Let's get real - part 2 - RS5 or RS4?
Post by: Mr. Goobii on January 25, 2014, 02:52:50 pm
Many people are the part of the solution. The thing is when nothing happens under these weeks, we find cheated and we keep playing in reasons it may be better. But we also want enjoyment, that's the reason we mostly play for, at leas me. I don't wanna play on something that are broken. Something that does not give anything in exchange.

But I do want to support Argonath as much as possible, so you see me online sometime around when I feel for it, mostly driving around searching for others...

People complain, you tell them to provide a solution.
People provide reasonable solutions, nothing changes.
Nothing changes, people still complain.
People still complain, you tell them to leave.

Then the stories how everyone have exams, how samp suddenly became an old game upon release of RS5 are following to cover up the player base loss.

People would get along with new addons, but not with total changes in the system which changed the gameplay permamently.
- Removal of PnS
- Removal of food system
- Paying for a gun each time you want to buy more ammo
- Script not being functional without many people and lot of cash (It's not fun to drive alone a blista compact all day long)
- No economy balance ( Fireman earns 4k per 40mins, drug dealer earns 400$ for 40mins in case that drug dealer knows all active spots at the moment and drug markets, there are more examples)
- Criminals being degraded to the ground. It's not even fun, yet it's really annoying and huge waste of time. (i.e. It takes ages to find the spot to grow drugs, when u grow drugs it takes 7-10 mins for them to grow. For 10minutes u can get arrested 5 times, killed 10 times and robbed 15 times)

For your information, upon official release of RS5 there were 120+ players on the server untill they realised that nothing has changed since the BETA and that the script is not working properly/is broken, then they all left the server.
They didnt leave the community, they are all daily active on forums, complaining and providing solutions for the problems to be fixed.

RS5 is not fun to play, its complicated, annoying and it totally ruined the gameplay.

In my opinion the only problem of RS5 is that it was relased a bit too soon,I think that a small delay was not going to hurt...
I totaly disagree with people saying ''return cars and propety''. I lost mine (two times actually) but I won't be happy if they return (wich won't happen I think)...
EDIT:: I think you forgot that this is not the final state and many things can get changed.

Al is having best opinion I believe.
People can talk smack as much as they want about community,other communities,virtual items.
As about constant "go in server and encourage others" There is no point atm to do so really.
As Al said already,it's currently in unplayable state and there is nothing to do really. Server was released  too fast.

I believe solution is fix server bugs and make it playable,then people rate will increase slowly or fast. Going back in history aint way to go. Imo.

As Acika said the following present problems of RS5, i agreed with them but its not good to say that its ruined the gameplay because it have more sexy and nice script than RS4.

If we (the players) makes a list and vote for changes that we want, would developers start working on them? Or will you (Gandalf for example) continue saying "go ingame and play instead of hanging here"?

I've heard a rumour that they are working on some changes though. Could you inform us about it? What's going on? ATM the community leaders etc are so quiet.

People always wanted and waited for RS5 impatiently, I don't see why should we revert back to an older gamemode as it will make the server belong to another era (compared to fellow RP servers)

Post by: Teddy on January 25, 2014, 07:08:04 pm
I will also say for those of who think "building" on top of RS4.1 was a good idea. It wasn't.

RS4 was written on a base of RS3, and so on. This means the entire foundation of RS4 was outdated, inefficient, and would have taken a lot of longer for the developers to simply rewrite all of the foundation and then all of the existing features, then changing and adding new features. The RS4 source in all honesty wasn't the most properly written to say the least. The source had not been written also in a way where others working on it wasn't in mind.  Pretty much only the person who worked on that feature could understand exactly what the heck was going on; and anyone else would have to sit there and go over it very carefully. It was a drag and poor design concept.

RS5 in terms of programming is a huge step forward. The foundation is fresh and in someways ahead of the game. The code is a lot more efficient, properly written using modern standards and expectations.

In terms of rewriting, or "updating" RS4 I hope you see why RS5 was the only option for updating.

Post by: Mopreme on January 25, 2014, 07:29:18 pm
I vote RS4 with a little twist of perffering a reset of inventories as well.
I fully agree with your words, Frank. Especially these:

We still have time to turn this around and we have the collective responsibility to restore the server’s competitive stance on the world SA:MP stage in hope of securing the best talent out there and continued organic growth.

But as already mentioned, all these topics will have no impact anyway. Pretty obvious, no matter how many people desire RS4, it will just remain in the past. I am sorry to say this, but it is very difficult to picture how growth will occur as RS5 brought the direct opposite of growth. Give it as much time as you'd like, stay as positive as you'd like, but sooner or later you will realize that RS4 was in a state, that RS5 just won't reach.
The management seem to prefer having a fully tuned server bloated with loads of additions even if it costs a 50%+ cut in the player count and a huge number of people leaving. You wanted a unique server which you had with RS4 but apparently you wanted it to be "more unique". You wanted the scripts to work more efficient and to be more "clean". Newsflash; from the players perspective, everything worked very well in RS4. You have great scripting talents which you have already proved, now get over it - in daily usage most of that just don't matter one single bit.

Post by: Mario_Rinna on January 25, 2014, 07:31:06 pm
Mario Rinna suggested another alternative which is now a serious and heavily endorsed idea which is to roll back to the last backup of RS4 and restore some confidence and normality into the server. This is a suggested solution as RS5 has been given reasonable teething time to self-correct but now having seen the dust settle, the core problems persist with no real communicated resolution on the horizon. 
It seems I was misunderstood. What I meant to say is that it could be beneficial to convert RS4 accounts and their stats into a format suitable for RS5, allowing to keep both RS5 scripts and players' assets. This could take a lot of effort, but it could also save the time required to build an economy from scratch.

RS4.1 is actually what you were playing before; RS4.1 came out a bit after RS4 and added support like fire missions.
I think what he meant is to re-create RS4.1 (with the new engine) and build upon it, instead of completely new gamemode.

I know I'm no longer a player here since a while now and the only problem I see here with accounts resets here is that some families / groups had built empires, literally.
I think their HQ should be kept (tho at 0$ value, so they can't sell it), that would, at least, give those people some motivation to keep playing.
It's hard to grow up a functional groupd nowadays an its even harder to make people be interested in keeping up with it, IC or OOC (oh I used the IC / OOC terms, f**k me right?).
That's one example of a possible measure.
The big deal here, for what I can see, is that some people just "quit" - there's nothing bringing them into the game, as soon as you get people wanting to play, like they used to, the server will be full regardless of any resets.
Excuse me for my bad grammar, I haven't been using my english effectively in quite a while now :p

Peace and I hope y'all can find a solution, don't let Argonath die!

Salut,
Kevin

RS4 was awesome! Everyone was having fun, peoples allways RP and were happy. Now when RS5 relased, Argonath is not a RPG anymore Its Argonath FD!anlot of members quit. server today was being played by onle 2 -3mebers.
RS5 is not helping community.

Want RS4.1 back?
To all those who want RS4 back, here is your challenge.
If you REALLY want to bring it back, I will make a deal.

Make donations stating 'I want RS4' and as soon as this reaches Eur 400, I will open a RS4 server, however there will be NO ASSETS and NO ACCOU?NTS. Fro mthe current admin team there will be a RS4 team formed, and while the player count stays above 200 per day (that means in 24 hours, not needing to have 200 players online at the same time) it will remain up.

Now either put up or shut up.

I don't really think that this is going to be considered anymore.

RS4 was awesome! Everyone was having fun, peoples allways RP and were happy. Now when RS5 relased, Argonath is not a RPG anymore Its Argonath FD!anlot of members quit. server today was being played by only 2 -3members.

People can still be having fun and do RP in RS5 if they just don't want then no much can be done; About the "FD" this is true the server is full of firefighters but only because people is still interested in money so point proven, anyway i don't find it bad at least they are giving a chance to the new system but without the economy system being active i find it useless.

RS5 is not helping community.

The people* is not helping the community.

It seems I was misunderstood. What I meant to say is that it could be beneficial to convert RS4 accounts and their stats into a format suitable for RS5, allowing to keep both RS5 scripts and players' assets. This could take a lot of effort, but it could also save the time required to build an economy from scratch.

This sounds like a good idea and it can benefit both parties, but then where the RS5 idea of "a fresh new start" goes? yet seeing that this idea has been forgotten due to the big complains, it'll not be bad if this gets in consideration.

People complain, you tell them to provide a solution.
People provide reasonable solutions, nothing changes.
Nothing changes, people still complain.
People still complain, you tell them to leave.
And so they did.
This is how we ended up here, and why there's 2 players online at the moment. Not RS5 itself yet the whole system.

All this replies and debates  throughout the forums, looks like a funeral where people talk about the deadguy in a positive way(Oh he was so great, really good person), then a bit guilty way( If only we could have done something), but just like in this example, there's no going back, some of you are trying to initiative some talks with opening this kind of topics, yet you fail to realize that you're still in the 'guilty phase', you still dont wanna face the reality, that we are all actually writing our last farewells  to the SA:MP Argo and its glory, unfortunately.

Face it, it was a good run, but we reached the finish line.

And if you have a problem with accepting that, here's something to help you face that fact:

There just few things that isn't added to RS5, which is causing many groups and our loyal players to stay away. So until developers implement those critical features into the server, it is the best idea to be patient and think of good ideas to make the server better. This is not a "depression" it is just a time for change and transformation to strengthen the server for better role play.

Both of you said this pretty well. What people fail to realize is that SA:MP RS5 is not done yet. They have no idea what things will be like when it is, yet they complain in the mean time while misusing another system, reverting back to their old ways to be greedy about cash. The sad part is, none of those moaning have any idea what it is like to play without money and still have fun. Don't believe it is possible? Then you should take a look at MTA:VC. People did it fine for years over there, and it is the reason why Argonath RPG exists today. Our community and one other we spawned from literally defined the roleplay gamemode in GTA multiplayer games in that mod. It would not exist today if it weren't for people wanting to have fun roleplaying...even if it meant nothing more than some text, pre-defined vehicles and weapons, and /me to do it. Every single person complaining here about how they need to have money to roleplay are not only full of themselves, but are pathetically ignorant for becoming so materialistic. Sure, it is nice to have visual features working...but when they are not available because the server is still being developed, you need to adapt and have fun other ways without misusing the few things that are actually there...

I challenge every single one of you right now. Go in-game and start roleplaying. Do it without your visual money if you have to. Find me a reason as to why you can't because you claim it is "impossible", and I'll shut up about it. Until then, you have no reason to moan about not being able to roleplay. Your imagination is what drives roleplays...not scripts. Those are only there to make it more fun. They don't create the initial fun for you.

First off, there's a lot of players who will help you in-game, use the /h chat. Furethermore, there's a /help command, use it. Feel free to send me a PM if you can't get help IG.

Second, nobody does. We all searched for drug spots and you should consider yourself lucky Mikal posted a map. There's other spots too, but people search for them. No one knows all the spots. About the map in general, as in locations of it, play single player.

Overcomplication? Aside from the shitty jurisdiction assignment and some of the simplest economic commands being placed in dialog boxes instead of allowing a simple command form, I do not find RS5 "too complicated" to comprehend. Maybe for someone of your level of understanding, it would be. All PDs and City Halls retain their locations from SP.

To add, you come here accusing us of not having any effort to help new players. The problem is with you, not with us, as I tried to teach you how to save your money when you first arrived, only for you to spend it on guns which you lost because you died.

Not to mention you got tempbanned for constant deathmatching and rulebreaking, so think about who's not helping who now. You are within no rights to make a qualified assessment of RS5.

In fact, I was the one who took you to the ammunation (because you kept bugging me to do so instead of listening to anything sensible the other players had to say to you), and others tried to warn you too against wasting your money, so do not dare accuse us of not helping.

and i'm in every right to make an assessment
After around 6 hours of wasting money, begging for more money, and deathmatching?

who do you think you are.
Someone who did not come to SA:MP with 5 bans from IV:MP for constant DMing / rulebreaking only to get an SA:MP tempban because of an inability to follow very simple rules.

Help command is very detailed regarding most of the server features, as-well as help chat and server staff, I'd say there is alot to assist new players.

dunno the map

http://media.gtanet.com/gtasa/images/map.gif

The game is only suited towards experienced players which is annoying asf

It's suited for everyone, many a new players have adapted to RS5 play-style very easily after actually taking the time to find out how thing's work instead of coming to the forum to rave about how they cannot find a weed spot.

yes its broken, half of the cars dont even work

Vehicles work fine, on the other hand quite a few of the vehicles are missing from dealerships.  Not much of a game-breaking issue though.

If you paid for a game and u got that u would call it broken and demand a refund

I would have got a refund on every single game I have purchased then.

have to go off duty before doing a neww job, when i don't even know job locations

You had to go off your current job to go to another in RS4 anyway so what the hell you talking about.
Again shows you are unwilling to find out for yourelf and expect shit to be handed to you on a plate.


Have to /changename at a city desk who knows where that is

Been like that ever since it got changed to pay $10,000 for a namechange, if I remember correctly this was RS3 or very early RS4.  Don't expect it to be the same as IV:MP where you can namechange anywhere on the map.

I die and get spawned on the other end of the map only to travel all the way back when u could spawn at nearest hospital.

Solutions where provided for this, Gimli said he'd take a look into it.  Hardly a massive issue.

Sometimes the simpler things in life are better. IVMP is a perfect example great fun game, no stress.

IV:MP ...  :hah:


Topic was for providing solutions, so let's get back to that shall we.

It seems I was misunderstood. What I meant to say is that it could be beneficial to convert RS4 accounts and their stats into a format suitable for RS5, allowing to keep both RS5 scripts and players' assets. This could take a lot of effort, but it could also save the time required to build an economy from scratch.
I totally agree with Mario's statement. Keeping the assets of players will let them enjoy the game fully. It would not be lazy for players to connect on the server. I think it would not have bring it too down.

I'm not a dictionary, and I'm not going to spend my game time driving around a map i have no clue about hunting for a little flower, rs4 was much better and the map mod was perfect, rs5 is broken, unplayable and overcomplicated, FACT
I agree.


But again, the ones who are complaining/giving opinions, telling problems/providing solutions are being told to leave the server.



I personally gave u solutions to fastly regain players on the server, but you're rather blind or something else. Even a blind chicken can see what is happening. Even after 2-3 months player count is still very low.
That doesnt mean that my suggestion would make RS5 functional and playable, it will just raise the player count for at least 40-50%.

For last time im repeating my suggestion.
Give official, now ex, their HQ back, set them 6-7 cars in their family color. Criminal groups will have a place to meet up, they will have their cars and they will feel much better. As u know, Cops, fireman, medic have their own cars, HQ and equipment.

We have fireman, we have cops, we don't have criminals. This is a chance to bring back the criminals on the server.

And to mention that doing drugs is a simple waste of time and money, which is another reason not to be a criminal.


For those who can't wait to bullshit on everything i say are pleased to again read what i wrote carefully, because im not asking anything for myself.

As I have mentioned before, if groups decided to be active instead of disappearing things would have been considered, and one of those is their HQ being set for them.
Instead groups chose to leave because somehow you can't roleplay on a roleplay server as there's no weapons or vehicles to buy yet?

Now of course, we are not going to run around setting the groups HQs if the groups themselves can't show a sign of existence what so ever.

You want from criminal groups to be in game and to chat with eachother.
We're already communicating with eachother over skype, facebook, whatsapp, viber, there's really no point to join a game to chat, because apperently the only things you can do on the server is driving a blista compact around the map, spraying fire and chatting with others, where's the fun in that ?
If you have fun while doing that, the other 100 players dont.



I dont see a problem to set few properties and 20 cars.

Criminal groups dont have any interest to play as being a criminal on RS5 is a big waste of time and money, it's not even fun.
So im telling you, give them a reason to play. It's a small job for you and it's a big for the server, if it's not too late already.

You're the group leader what is it YOU want so it would give reason to play besides HQ's and vehicles.  Maybe then server leadership can get a better understanding and work towards it.

But that again, is your fault. No one stopped you in doing all those things while everyone was still around, now when you made this among many mistakes, you expect us to come and give our time again so you'll be able to fix the mistakes you made.

"50 frenchmen can't be wrong" is a well-known logical fallacy; what a significant number want does not always constitute the best option.

Going back to RS4 means discarding progressive ideas that the players themselves have suggested over the years. It means insulting and disregarding years of hard work (with no pay) that Argonath developers put in. It means reverting to a technologically inferior gamemode, where more data components have become obsolete. If those of you here with experience in programming/developing looked at the specifics, you will see even more reasons not to revert to RS4.

Regardless of the gamemode, there will be complaints. Ironically, those who are complaining about the RS5 reset may be just asking for another. The best option for SA:MP is to move forward and make the best of that.

I have to honestly say that i have liked RS4 more than RS5. The reason of this is that I personally think the RS5 server is too advanced for me since the last time I checked. RS4 was simple and lagless. My game ran smooth without problems but when I go to RS5, i start lagging and then I suddenly don't feel like playing. I would love to get back to playing in RS4. I can't forget the NBA Idlewood times, the fun events, & especially the groves from grove street.
I wish i could play RS4 again :/

You guys from the scripting team must understand one thing-No one is blaming you, nor is pointing at you, you people did a lot of hard work, gave time and energy into this, and for that you have unlimited respect from every normal person.


Now, I'll talk only about the area I'm mostly focused on.

Not a single leader of a single criminal faction was brought into at least consulting about parts of script that concern the majority of the server on which the entire interaction of the server exists-criminals.
Not a single beta tester as well.
Not a single meeting or briefing was made with anyone about our point of view on the whole matter, suggestions, proposals, solutions, ideas.

And yes we asked for all of those, from first to the last proposal, and we got decline.  And when I say 'We' I dont mean Gvardia.

Unfortunately exactly all of the mentioned above lead to the criminal script that made all criminal group and criminal players in general vanish, and with it the majority of players.
@Rusty+Ted
As soon as the BETA server was released, everything was already made, and it was too late.

The image and plan for RS5 was designed and setup by Gandalf.
I will agree that things would have been a fair bit smoother if groups and players had been addressed with thoughts on changes, ideas from different locations can often lead to further productivity.

However one thing that is being done at the moment is ARUN being created and setup to be an official means for groups to voice their concerns, opinions and suggestions which will then be discussed between other ARUN members and the servers HQ members thus allowing direct communication.

If there are serious concerns and or suggestions for change that is necessary it can be taken further and changes to the systems will be considered.

Post by: Rusty on January 26, 2014, 03:26:21 pm
You could have pointed things out in the BETA, it was there so stuff could get improved/changed/etc.  No one bothered.

SAPD were never consulted on the stuff that was put into the Police script, start of January the developers opened a topic in our command boards to discuss with us.  This should have also been done alongside the criminal groups (via ARUN), communication between developers>players hasn't been spectacular.  It isn't to late on for you to do something, if you want to get it sorted take it upon yourselves to directly go to the developers and let your voice be heard.  If you aren't willing to then I guess this problem will exist for a long-time coming.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up.

No-one wants to see Argonath's largest and most reputable groups cease to exist on SA:MP.

I get it, you are a programmer who thinks about everything from a programmer's perspective. But in all honesty who really gives a f**k about programming within a game? Its a game, its about having fun. The release of RS5 pulled away something that we all had, fun.

Like I mentioned before, despite the players's views statistics also show that RS5 was a bad move.

The vote says it all.
The players in-game says it all.

RS4 had over 100 players
RS5 now is struggling to reach 20 players.

You cant hide from the statistics. Numbers are everything.

Alright, alright.

SAPD was briefed in rs4, IG, for the changes/features, I know this. Those who told me said they'd leave SAPD because everyone could be SAPD, that being said, they had no challenge. They're still cops in rs5, they want to get a better rank, like the new features, whatever the reason is.

On the other hand, criminal side had no idea about features, they could only assume features from rs5 SSs. In my opinion, even though I was kinda against it in the first place, ex-official groups (and active groups of rs4) should be given their HQ, and possibly like two group cars ( Like acika suggested ), but, not based on rs5's activity. Instead, based on rs4's activity. If they were active before rs5, then they didn't get that busy as not even getting IG at rs5. They need a motivation, even if that is some virtual asset. "The possibility of getting their HQ back if they work for it" is not motivating groups, as it still remains a "possibility", you can't be sure if doing this and that will give you the HQ back.

If that is rejected, then the developers should "list" what they expect from groups, other than "Go IG AND RP!"

Like Cofi, I agree that there is no finger pointing at the developers - they have done a great job.

RS5 is in the current predicament because of failure to adhere to general project management principles. The fundamental rule of project management is to ensure you understand and translate the requirements of the users into functional solutions. For example, if a client asked for a Ferrari and was delivered a FIAT, he would surely not be impressed. The same applies to RS5 where the community was not even given reasonable insight into RS5 through the development phase resulting in the commotion we see today.

The RS5 requirement elicitation process was poor and managed by the owner who has questionably been out of touch with the community. Some have been petitioning since early 2009 for a general counsel AKA ARUN to have vetoing ability over changes in this community and the project stalled several times only to be reinstated again recently, perhaps one might argue too late.

This said, what is more important is that we concentrate on remediating the issues at hand and providing real feasible solutions. Again, the management and owner are not providing insight into how this area of concern is planned to be resolved except for ARUN. There needs to be greater transparency if you wish for players to stay.

When the assets were there, they used to RP. Think about it. They lost the spirit when rs5 came.

SAPD didnt need a briefing because almost every single admin is a cop and admins had access to the beta test server and Teddy, CBFasi are scripters themselves.

CBFasi made the script as he/cops likes, what if you give a criminal leader to make a script as he likes ? Or at least you could ask them for an opinion ;)

Teddy is FBI; FBI had no changes in script. CBF worked with objects and only returned to the development team when most of the updates had already been done. CBF had nothing to do with police scripts, the planning of, or anything. If you wanna get factual instead of talking out your ass like you know everything when you don't; CBFasi actually himself was against some of the changes once he found out.

SAPD was briefed about RS5?  Nope.
Sure we had admins inside SAPD who got to test RS5 before the public did, fact is we never got consulted about the police side of things.  It was only until Zaila posted a topic in the ARPD Forums at the start of January because of the barely there communication we were able to put forward ideas and what not. 

They were.

A quick (3 minute) skim over the RS5 archives. Keep in mind not each idea is the exact implementation as practical modifications must be made.

That wasn't on the developers end; those were unauthorized leaks or the small handful of members of the SAPD whom were admins. Keep in minds admins didn't have access to the server for a long time (over a year!). They were only invited once the majority of systems were done.

They knew what was going on and disagreed. There was a meeting which took place between SAPD command, CBFasi, developers and Gandalf. SAPD had disagreement with some of the changes. The result was no change despite their disagreement. I don't really know the contents of the meeting as I was asleep during it; just that it took place, it got heated, and nothing was changed as a result of this meeting.

Because you consider criminal groups not important, maybe that's the reason why there's 14 players at Sunday 6:30 (CET).

It actually reached 69/70 players, and I do not recall seeing Acika_Luciano on that list.

Either way, that only showed how the player count could be boosted if even one faction (which, in this case) decided to stay ingame, hereby lending credence to the idea that the player count will be much higher if factions decided to work instead of complaining on forums about what they lost.

Work as in what they did years ago, build their empire. Groups still have a chance to get their HQ by the state by working for the official group.

And by the way, by the time Gandalf logged in, there were already 55+ players online.

There's really no point in being official. The only benefit they have is not being able to lose their HQ, but apparently they have lost that too.

I find it funny how some of you think I'm against you guys entirely. I think I've mentioned before there are a decent handful of parts of RS5 I don't like at all; including the own economy I wrote but rather than complaining here I just deal with it while I draft up something for the idea boards. There was more issues I had that I went to Gandalf directly over and we talked them out and eventually led to some changes. I don't disagree changes need to be made to RS5 mainly to fireman system but I disagree with bringing back RS4.

Alternatively you don't and, they'll implement their own changes which would/could result in you being back here arguing that "this is crap nothing for us".

It wasn't my call but the only viable solution to prevent utter chaos within the economy from the beginning as groups would have multiple items whilst regular players begin with nothing what so ever.

I would love to be able to just provide all of the groups with their properties that they once owned however it's simply not possible.

I have the utmost respect for all of those that have led their groups and families to success within RS4/4.1 however we can not come to a consensus if demands are thrown about instead of solutions to troubles.

If families/groups are able to show that they're here to roleplay and have a good time we can always organize things in the form of their HQs however nothing will be given for free.

If an HQ is given to a group, they will have to prove they deserve it once again unfortunately.

You need to show respect to get respected. Most of the group leaders were banned for some shitty rule breaks (such as DM-ing, copbaiting, HACKING  :eek:) how will the division leaders easily trust them? True, there are some players that are studying in the university and can't put their time on a video game and here is a solution for that; throw the ball to another leader, to keep it rolling.

Who claims to be more of a doer than a talker, but actually bailed on SA:MP and is nothing more than a part of the past now, just like you complaining over lost assets.

Just suck it up and accept the fact that everyone, and not just you, lost their assets as well. The difference between you (and your kind) and others is that the others are already working ingame to rebuild, rather than cry over spilt milk.

In fact, Sforza, Ancelotti, Svensson, and the other factions that are actually ingame deserve to be given the assets more as they are busy working to maintain their presence while you complain on the forums with "solutions" that are just sugar-coated demands.

They and the other players ingame are working to be part of the solution, while you are busy being part of the problem. If you cannot see how that puts you at a disadvantage, then do not expect to get anywhere.

It wasn't my call but the only viable solution to prevent utter chaos within the economy from the beginning as groups would have multiple items whilst regular players begin with nothing what so ever.
Utter chaos is what Argonath is about. With powerless, weak law enforcement and non-existent government, rich criminal groups and show-offs were what powered the unregulated economy and brought server to life.

Any actions that prevent chaos are actions that hinder the progress and development of the economy itself.

Forcing everybody (not only criminal groups) to start anew instead of creating a healthy, motivating environment for them to continue their RP is an action detrimental to the both economy and the community. It's pretty much a waste of time since there are too many players who only start RPing when they get a Richman villa.

In a year or two, those who are interested in farming will have millions again anyway regardless of what script there is. Whether we can afford to wait a year for new decent groups to emerge is another story. : <

Who claims to be more of a doer than a talker, but actually bailed on SA:MP and is nothing more than a part of the past now, just like you complaining over lost assets.
You have no rights to mention one of the biggest legends of Argonath (Cofiliano), the man who has built the biggest empire. You, who are going around talking nonsense, the one whos a theme of a good laugh on the family topics can only hail such a legends. So please...

I guess you have the right to decide who's a legend, and who can mention what, because you do not bother at all with useless complaining, are very often ingame, leading at the front of your group while making an invaluable contribution to the future of this community by providing many solutions.

Oh, wait...



Yes. I'd love to see Gvardia getting their HQ back.
So would I (unbelievably), except that right now, Gvardia is not doing anything to make this happen.

Many of these "opinions" are little more than complaints that are not based on any real solutions. Perhaps if more went ingame wjhile focusing on discussing viable solutions instead of moaning "this server sucks because I lost my assets and they are not bringing RS4 back", we'd actually get somewhere.

I'm not discounting the opinions of the players. I'm pointing out a fact based on the nature of the posts here.

If I may remind everyone, the Ideas boards and feedback topics are still open. Perhaps those with an opinion that is much more useful than a mere complaint would like to post whatever solutions they have in mind there and contribute to progress.

It most definitely would if your group did not bail out of the server, with you remaining as the most frequently-seen Gvardia online here instead of being surrounded by your friends. You yourself are not the problem.

You seem to love the word 'Gvardia'.
What you tend to forget is that it's not only Gvardia who ''bailed out'', it's 100+ of the former regular players, including lots of other families.

By the way, I'm wondering what the difference is between an official and unofficial poll... There are more RS5 voters in an official one?

Lol @ those who believe we, Gvardia, "bailed out" with the rest of the crowd without any particular reason and without hesitation. Let me clarify a few things.

1. Gvardia was founded during the peak of other groups that sought to eradicate us the moment they recognized us as a potential threat, such as the Straccis. If we were ones to simply "bail out" so easily when faced with change or challenges, we would have done so in a matter of months from our creation.

2. The decision to move to MTA was made with quite a lot of discussion and hesitation, and was made before the transition from RS5 Beta to the full game mode. The plan was to rejoin after the release of the full mode, however due to the circumstances surrounding RS5, the decision has been put on hold while we wait for the situation on the server to unfold.

3. Communication between us and the developers has been terrible. Someone says one thing, someone else says the opposite. Occasionally, one will say something and go on to contradict themselves later. We are not the only group that has experienced this, and is an entirely other topic in itself.

Thank you.

p.s. JDC be easy with those condescending and affrontive comments... they don't strengthen your points and just make you look like a mean person

Post by: Gird3r on January 27, 2014, 02:33:01 am
Scripts was, and never will be. The main reason why the SA:MP Argonath community imploded upon itself.
RS5 was just the last straw, but this has been a long time coming.

And it's been coming ever since the server opened in the first place.
Really, between lax administration and a "happy go lucky" attitude. Combined with a huge lack of a plan to account for far more players than
the community could handle in a cultural way (that is, lack of role models, lack of enforcement of the rules, not to mention the "continue" button mentality for banned players).

Recount every major shitstorm that has hit this community. From corrupted admins, to controversial statements.
Along with a complete disregard of the Argonath Vision. And there was a recipe for disaster.

The only question of when it would happen. And all it took was a spark. RS5 was that spark.
But let's get real. We asked several times of when RS5 would come. Adding pressure. Pressure means mistakes happens.
I agree with other people that RS5 was released far to early. But we ultimately asked for it.

No, take a break a second. I'm not wholeheartedly defending the team. I have plenty of reasons to be disappointed.
It's just not so much about the script. It's about the mentality.

The HQ has for far to long, been content with taking things less seriously than it should have.
Problems were never nipped in the bud when they should have. And for most, far to late when the damage had already been done.

People learn what they see others doing. If you portray a community where it's okay to be a selfish dick, where it's okay
to get banned several times and have nothing serious done about it. And where it's okay to backstab eachother and sow
conspiracies in a quest for power and status. Then that is what people are gonna do.

And that problem will feed itself. Over and over again until what remains is a complete disregard for the rules of the server, lack of respect.
And a lack of trust with each other.

This should have been dealt with years ago. Specifically back when the server started.
As people have mentioned to me before. There's a huge difference between 32 players, playing at the same time. And 100's.
It was a given really that a different culture would arise from this.
With so many people bringing ideas, opinions (and with it. Attitudes that crashed head first with the original culture).
Things were bound to end up in a heap.

This  "mixed" culture was never really kept an eye on. The Argonath Vision appeared as a response, and then nothing was done about it. Resulting in two entirely different opinions/cultures head butting each other until today.


Now, we see the aftermath of unchecked community chaos.
The question is can something new be built from this? With a clearer plan, a better mentality and a stronger vision?

It would be good to remember that in the end, the scripts should be seen as a enchantment, a tool to improve the roleplay.
Not as a excuse to get lazy. RP are what this entire community is about in the end.

Heck, if players where 100% honest with each other. You would not even need the scripts at all. Just a paper to keep track of the money on hand. And to write down transactions in. And a dice for gambling or to make things random if you like that kind of thing.

And one heck of a creative mind to abuse the engine to it's fullest to create RP's without custom animations and all that jazz.

But eye candy is cool. And why not abuse the technology to create something cool. But could we do it for the right reasons and not because of "MAH ASSETS" or "MAH STATUS?!".

As for the problems that needed fixing, could never be fixed without the leaders permission, or only partially.
Over-reliance on Aragorn and Gandalf that is.

I'm going to repeat a line that I wrote, from an by now, half year old unfinished document (which will never be finished by the way. Kudos for that btw, and you know who you are) I was working on together with two other people here, in a effort to outline what exactly needs fixing, with suggestions on how it could be done. In the end a effort to try to get things moving again.

"You can't have a community run itself if they themselves are not allowed to fix the broken things. It’s simply impossible to do this".

Sorry, but the dictatorship model does not, and will not suffice anymore.
And yes, I'm aware that there is currently a bit more democratic plan being worked on to get the community involved a bit better.
But that too should have happened much much earlier.

As for why? Activity of course. Gandalf can't really be here all the time. And he can't deal with everything by himself.
And he cannot also be there to approve every little single thing that needs to be fixed.
Even less so with Aragorn never being around.

It worked in the past because there was so much more time to do so.
And because two guys who perfectly complemented each others strengths and covered each others weaknesses made it like dream.
Truly a ying and yang. Not so much anymore with one of them having a family that needs the priority way more.
Way way more.

To end my entirely pointless post, what matters in the end is the RP and the willingness to stick together as a community.
Me rambling on, or a vote. Will not change this in one bit. What we really should be doing is taking care of the community first, outlining
a good strategy to deal with various problems. Be they taking a closer look at the vision. Dealing with rulebreakers better and stomping that foot down. Outlining a strategy to better welcome new players.
Or coming up with ways to entice co-operation in such a way that people can contribute better, and  :eek: maybe in a fun way.
I mean, we have quite alot of brains here. If people put those brains together towards one goal. Surely some decent ideas could pop up on how to do this?

I've tried, many others have tried over the years. It does not hurt to speak ones mind.
But there needs to be action to complement said statements. Actions that clearly speaks of co-operation and not utter circlejerk and bullshit.

With you as a constant talker and essay writer that no one actually takes into consideration, its not so hard to be a doer.
I didnt 'bailed out' (and like Leon wrote you can stop talking about Gvardia cause of all those facts ), the entire community collapsed and left, and LOL on your effort to show how Gvardia is guilty that you got 2 players online at the moment :lol:

Until you learn to accept your own mistakes and your responsibility for them, you cant deal with it, and you cant progress.

So Sforza, Ancelotti, and Svensson are not counted as part of the community now? The difference between they and you (as well as the other factions who are contributing little more to RS5's progress than complaints) is that they are ingame, circulating with the community, interacting, and even helping junior players.

Not so hard to be a doer? Funny how you accuse me of being nothing but a constant talker, because the only thing you are doing right now aside from complaining about the system is sitting back and waiting for things to unfold. That's what you are doing.

You can say all you want that your group (as well as any others with the same plan) intends to come back. But until then, all that your absence (which was timed along with when the storm hit) is doing is showing that you bailed, by having jumped ship when things got rough. Things would not have been that way if you chose to return instead of waiting, but as long as your group's presence amounts to little more than Stivi alone (whose efforts I commend, by the way) then that is what the facts will show.

If you really did not bail out, then prove me wrong by going ingame and pitching in with everyone who chose to remain. Otherwise, all you will be doing there is not being there.

Anyone who feels bad about the state the server is in would do best to go in and play instead of talking about it.
As long as all people do is talk here, nothing is going to change.

The players make up the community. I'm not disrespecting the developers as their intentions were to provide the community with a better game mode but it turned out to be the opposite. I have been in this community for over 5 years so I have a right to express my opinion so don't be saying 'who are you'. You are right, nobody is forcing me to stay here but Argonath is pushing away so many players.

Accounted for very very little percentage of the reason to not play (if at all).  Only few deserved to keep the status anyway, Sforza one of them.

It's getting into February now and people still trying to get RS4 back, instead of working to make RS5 a better script for everyone. 
You say you haven't bailed on the server?  Then prove it by being there in a time it needs the community, I'd have hated to see how this turned out if RS5 got released when it was supposed too.  Probably still the same shit, as people don't like change yet if one is to maintain superiority then it has to be done.  We can continue to argue back and forth about this and that in the end it'll mount up to nothing.

Why are you taking this so one sidedly, if someone works for the official status for eight years, building an empire, building relationships stronger than this community within and all of it being ignored because of "lel new script".. there is a difference between having an official status and deserving it. It isn't the act of taking the status, it is the ignorance of the past.

We dont live in the past and the official status is not something to expose in a museum, it means that you actively play the server and the quality of your roleplay is higher...

Surprisingly, Mikal has a sensible point and I am agreeing with it.

Official status should be earned, not given on a silver platter. Despite the circumstances, as the group has earned Official status in the past, then the amount of work it should take for them to maintain in RS5 should be much less this time around, such as just staying around to help instead of having to go up the entire ladder all over again.

However, if a formerly-Official group cannot give even that reduced (as compared to the first time) contribution, then do not expect favorable chances for them to earn the status as the HQ is not known for spoon-feeding.

It also shows lack of respect from the HQ, for the contribution these groups made to the server.

I believe the idea is for an official group to show that they are continuing to work in the present, rather than taking a laurel from the past and sitting on it forever, while expecting rewards to continue coming in.

Frankly speaking, just staying around to contribute will be nowhere near as hard for an official group (to earn the status again, or more accurately, maintain it) compared to their struggle the first time they had to climb the ladder to earn it.

Sure you can call it lack of respect, none of this would have happened if groups had chosen to make the most of RS5 in regards to activity and being a part of RS5, instead walking off when RS5 beta was released and expecting their properties and ranks to remain.

As I have stated multiple times now, if groups are able to raise their activity and change their tone we can work on HQs being provided once again along with more assistance.

All that is necessary is for groups to be active, to be respectable to some degree and be a part of RS5 and the return of HQs will be possible.
I would love to give groups their HQs however it's not logical to set group HQs for those that can't be bothered to even play.

Nobody was forced to beta test it, why would anyone want to play on a glitchy, buggy platform, why would you force anyone upon that, your argument makes no sense as you're saying you want the worst for them.. official groups aren't some sort of slaves, they're something smaller groups should look up to.

It isn't a time where people come to play, school, work, life, you have taken their statuses unfairly and haven't given them enough time to get back on their feet, some people need time to accept defeat, get back on their feet and regain their power in the city.. what you have done was shoot yourself in the foot, I mean I don't take it personally as I don't even play the game but I find it hilarious how the players lose all interest and respect and than you shove even this into their face.

Criminals have been degraded to the ground in RS5, it's not a challenge , it's so annoying and not even fun.
Criminals are not supposed to be fireman.
Economy is so unbalanced (For 40mins fireman earns 4k, drug dealer earns 400$)


Because you take criminal groups not important, because you dont know to show little respect for their contribution and dedication to the server over years, because you have failed to fulfill ur promises, maybe that's why there is 14 players on Sundays.

Give criminal groups a reason to play.

Well perhaps instead of complaining and pointing fingers like you always do, you may want to propose a sensible economic plan / solution that would make it more balanced for criminals. Surely a "legend" like yourself should be capable of something like that, you think not?

Be active to begin with, and not just a few members. What i'm talking about is the beaing present on the server and contributing to a positive atmosphere.

you have taken their statuses unfairly and haven't given them enough time to get back on their feet
How is it unfair to give every group the same possibilities?

Nobody was forced to beta test it
You are correct. However, if you did not help us beta test the scripts then you shouldn't complain at all. It would have taken the developers 10 times longer (if not even more) to find all bugs that was found by all those that beta tested the scripts.

official groups aren't some sort of slaves, they're something smaller groups should look up to.
You are correct. However, they are supposed to support the staff team and the developers in the work they do.

Good luck with that, i personally think aswell he got a point in it.

Criminals have been degraded to the ground in RS5, it's not a challenge , it's so annoying and not even fun.
I understand that. We still got some features planned but the person that was supposed to do it went inactive for several months without finishing it, and everyone else had other tasks on their hands and we didn't get the chance to finish it. Eventually, it will be created and it should provide criminal groups with another source of income. However, what the feature is supposed to be is something i will not disclose for now.

With weed, with simple math, you "buy" one gram for around 11$ (200$/grams harvested= ~11) and you sell to 20$/gram ( at this moment, was 24$ before, though). While with heroin, a small package costs 400$, selling it gives you 76$ profit. The heroin, which is more expensive than weed, and finding it is way harder, its price doesn't fit.

Based on his explaining and the fireman limitations; the algorithms still aren't balanced where criminals balanced. My suggestion however would balance that out without any changes in algorithms or prices; and without over/under challenging either system's complexity.

i.e

It takes 10minutes for heroin to arrive. It's so annoying, it's such a big waste of time for such a low income + you can get killed, robbed, arrested 10 times.
If you think you would know that the "timer"should be lower, like it was before.

Economy is not balanced - drug dealer earns 10% of firemans 100%
If you think you would know that the income should be same for every "job" (altho illegaly you should be able to earn more)

have you at least finished the elementary school?

The main reason why we have decided this is because RS5 is a fresh start, and we want to follow that path when it comes to groups aswell. As soon as ARUN is up and running, all groups will be closely watched and if we see a group fit the criteria of being offical then we will discuss it.

Another reason is because official groups will have some actual perks ingame aswell from now on. Letting you keep your official status would give you a huge advantage aswell over other groups during this time.

Not doing research again, I see. The scripters made what was tasked and given to them, and several have expressed dissatisfaction with parts of the gamemode they themselves helped create. In fact, they have observed those things long before you do.

The difference is that they are proposing actual roadmaps for solutions to be worked on, instead of stating the obvious.

Correct. Here is the background story.

I developed the loan system wrong the first way I did it. I had misread Gandalf's plan on how it should work. This led to Kojak pointing it out for the first time. I then made quick sweeping changes to the system to incorporate Gandalf's plan. The problem was there was only a week before release. There was a choice given to me to disable the loan system for release; I had thought about the option for a few days and eventually decided it was stable enough to release. I was wrong. There were some unexpected issues which came up; gotta love technology. Even with the testing resulting fine, the change to production messed something up. Its part of the field. I shortly thereafter left the team as I was planning on moving and as a result gimli made the choice to rewrite the system since the system had been written to suit a different concept and only had changes to suit Gandalfs. Essentially it was my fault the system was release broken that way. I thank Acika and various others before him who posted bugs which I quickly fixed but wasn't enough to change the fact it wasn't designed at the core to work the way it was suppose to.

The moaning might not make things any better, but these complaints were only an outcome of the way you chose to form your server. And yeah, you won't bring back RS4, just know that a huge pile of the weight is on you when you look at the server and see lack of activity. Don't blame the players for not joining what you ruined.

Don't you find it just a little double-standard how you want players to start helping a community which was more or less killed by the very hands of your own crew?
The moaning might not make things any better, but these complaints were only an outcome of the way you chose to form your server. And yeah, you won't bring back RS4, just know that a huge pile of the weight is on you when you look at the server and see lack of activity. Don't blame the players for not joining what you ruined.
Hint: It's not MY server, it's not MY crew. Heck, i don't even volunteer for a position in the RPG server. Get your facts straight and be grateful for a change.

No. it's pointless arguing with you because your own over inflated ego blocks any sense of logic from getting out and you have no idea what you are talking about. The plan, action of, doing of, or anything to do with the loan system had nothing to do with you. We already knew of the problems far before you knew there was a loan system. His choice to redo it was before your post existed and by chance the loan system was disabled around that time.

I don't know why we're even arguing about this; only goes to prove my point about your ego.

The point is you don't contribute anything to help improve the situation and now I'm sick of it. If people are just gonna rant beyond this point posts will be removed. Be constructive or get lost.

Did you maybe forget that Rockstar released a huge patch a few months after the release of GTA:SA? Sound system that was crashing, lacking support for higher resolutions, OS updates causing save folder issues and dual monitor issues.

Fucking unbelievable.

Funny how you accuse me of being nothing but a constant talker, because the only thing you are doing right now aside from complaining about the system is sitting back and waiting for things to unfold. That's what you are doing.
Well, tell me then Mr. Argonath Messiah, what the fuck would you like for us to do? Want us to go get our 4 players that'll willingly rejoin SA:MP with fuckall, which I don't really give a flying fuck about, and roleplay with pretend outside criminal groups since there's hardly any criminal group activity (we don't need players when they can simply be roleplayed)? Want us to go get new players from other sources? No thank you, and no, I'm not becoming a fucking server salesman. JDC, if our very presence could make some damn miracle that SUDDENLY cause players to flood into the server, we would have done it. Our presence on the server (or lack of) has NO direct effect on the server's state, contrary to what you keep insisting in order to put us down.

Tell me, what exactly are you doing, JDC, aside from the typical glitter-and-sprinkle-covered bullshit response "helping new players" as an attempt to cover up your overall lack of ability to directly influence any of this retarded bullshit going on in the server? Sure, having people present helps because people like a filled server, but to have people means they must have incentive to come and stay. Where is our part in that? You expect us to get all of our members to come back, just like that? Anyone with half a brain cell's worth of observation ( :) ) could tell that most of our members are gone. It's pretty rare to even see four of them on MTA.

It's okay though, because clearly we were not welcome back in RS5 - Promises were made to us, only for us to be thrown right under the damn bus again and again... We had more than enough of it, and decided to let all of this swirling horse shit blow over without us having to deal with it. I feel like you're just mad because we don't want to stand in the middle of the horse shit tornado with you. We are not required to deal with the Argonath SA:MP community's BS, so we simply chose not to, since obviously we are no longer relevant around here. We're taking a break and allowing those who are able to fix the problems fix them (*tips hat to Teddy*)... I didn't know you guys missed us that much.


I believe the idea is for an official group to show that they are continuing to work in the present, rather than taking a laurel from the past and sitting on it forever, while expecting rewards to continue coming in.
I believe this idea is a big fat 'go fuck yourself' to us and the other official groups, considering what was said and promised to us before the advent of RS5. But I guess breaking promises and constantly having changes of mind without notifying those whom it pertains to is perfectly acceptable and totally our fault for being frustrated, right? We poured out our heart and soul into the server and our groups, and look what we fucking got in return - piss in the eye and shit in the mouth.

This is NOT a solution. This is you pointing out things that anyone with half a brain cell's worth of observation skills can see.

I'm talking about making an actual plan, discussing the dynamics, a roadmap for possible implementation, etc. Teddy is doing a better job at it than you are.
Here you go again with your condescending and putting people down to feel better about your insecurities and lack of true conviction behind your glittering words... you could have simply told him that it isn't a solution, then the second half of the post without saying someone is doing a better job than him. Why do you feel the need to constantly judge peoples brains as if yours were the standard to which all others are compared? Stop being so damn rude all the time.


Now tell me, what will help solve the problem more? Mere complaining, or playing and proposing solutions? If you cannot answer this question correctly, then you should reconsider why you are not getting anywhere.
How about you answer it? :)



To conclude - JDC, since you obviously don't know anything about what the hell you're talking about every time you put Gvardia into a post, keep the name Gvardia from your mouth. You're doing nothing but spreading bullshit rumors. Everything you have said about us is highly misinformed and outright slander, as has been the case for years.

P.S. By the way, we did NOT leave because we lost our official status. Keep that rumor the hell out of here. It's disgraceful. Really. It's even more pitiful that those who have known us for years believed that shit.

Mikal i understand you're still a hater of Gvardia thats your right to be, but this isn't the topic about Gvardia, yet why is there 5 players on SA:MP server. Same goes for JDC, you people shouldn't give 2 percent fuck about Gvardia, since you claim you're Argonath's soldiers, yet you're acting here like the subject is Gvardia.

We're not even on SAMP anymore, and still Gvardia is the subject you're constantly talking about, while the server has 5 players online.

This topic's name is "let's get real," so let's get real. Criminal groups are not able to "raise their activity and change their tone" since they do not exist any more. The reset removed everything that made a group a criminal group. Buildings are just some small part of that.

I think that it is important to understand that not even one group today possess all the qualities of a criminal group. Now, all we have here are just some people who were previously known to be members or leaders of criminals group.

Since criminals groups are no longer criminal groups, it is quite normal to remove their official status. After all, they are no longer Mafias or gangs in any way. They are not motivated to continue or rebuild, so it's understandable if it doesn't happen.

It was actually a great idea to get rid of the whole "official group" concept here since it may take a year or two for a new powerful criminal group to emerge. And that may not happen at all since being a law-abiding fireman may become more prestigious and rewarding than being a mobster.

I honestly think that this situation is quite healthy for the community. Look at it this way: the needs of ARFD have been neglected for way too long; now, it is the time for them to steal the spotlight and continue their successful journey. There's no need to look at RS5 in a negative way: any situation leads to some advantages.

Finally, any statements regarding criminal groups "bailing out" are inappropriate since de facto these groups don't exist any more. By all means, if you wish to accuse a non-existent group of present problems – go ahead and do so. That must be fun.

There's a point there Mario.

So far no "criminal" groups are there yet, and if there are; it's too early to give the title yet.

I hope though, that all groups will earn their respect on the right way. What I wish is that there will be little to no bloodshed for the most inane reasons(ex: provocations) and that the activities will hold impact: Such as schemes for corruption, white-collar crimes, cartels and rings of contraband...

Just my opinion though, but I can wish for groups to act like actual mafias than a group of juveniles thinking they're above the others by using violence as communication.

On the other hand I might be asking too much but I do hope.

Second is the ARFD having the chance to rise; Before it was just a name. Now it has its time to shine. If people cooperate. Which will be rare.

All of you are saying that if a return from RS5 to RS4 happens it will lose its future and its goal.
Ask yourself what is its goal? I will assume since its a RP server its goal is to provide players a enjoyable roleplay system and let other people interact with each other. Its obvious that this goal, well for now has failed. Since so many left (including myself) there is no one to RP with. There are around 11 ppl online as i am typing this and that discourages others to come in and play.
If you want to achieve a RP servers goal revert back to RS 4 and it will be achieved. This is the reason i voted for RS4  but it probably wont even matter. But who knows? I might be wrong and RS5 might be as good as RS4 in the player count perspective. And yes, i am saying that as long as there is a decent amount of people online more will join and so on and so forth. But with 7-20 players online not many will join.

Post by: Que on January 29, 2014, 03:34:08 am
This core functionality being removed has changed the game mode again translating to players leaving.
Our prominent player base with veterans, splendid roleplayers and excellent writers had already gone missing before RS5 turned public and widely open.

Argonath has always lacked the most important part of a roleplay server, yet some people has been patient enough to stay, and one another has already left a long time ago. The list can be made long and most importantly, it can be made by heavy names and incredible individuals, which has also led to this turning slingshot of Argonath's existence. The names were never replaced; not even by close. It left a vicious hole and also a gap between now and then. The players are after all the prime ingredient of it, and by having quite some large quantities abandoning an already necessitous server is with no doubts a hard rock to lift.

And the delicacy with the community has always been the forum, and if you compare it now to two- three years ago, the activity has decreased a lot. The removal of RS4 and the beginning of RS5 has only been a perfect time to actually wave good bye to something that once was something absolutely astonishing for us.

With this said, I don't think it will matter that much if Argonath will return to RS4. It is what it is and it is being thereafter. I like RS5 and I think it's a great scripted version with much heart and excellent visions. Unfortunately, I do not think it will ever bloom out to the way it was meant to do. And that's pretty much it.

You're all saying how GOOD RS5 is but no one has the balls to show up.
No one?
I play it everyday.

Who thought to release RS5 so early probably has mental problems.

The only reason it was released early, because RS4.1 lost 4 month of data.
So before telling everyone that people has mental problems maybe you should read why RS5 was released.

Who thought to release RS5 so early probably has mental problems.

So you want the players to suffer two sets of resets instead of one? Perhaps you should look in the mirror and consider who really has mental problems.



Same goes for JDC, you people shouldn't give 2 percent f**k about Gvardia, since you claim you're Argonath's soldiers, yet you're acting here like the subject is Gvardia.

Gvardias are but among several others who claim they do not give a damn about what was lost, yet complain about the system. Complaining and pointing out flaws itself is not so much the problem as the fact that you are not currently contributing to solutions to those flaws. As that is the case, you have no right to complain.

You say that your presence and absence will have no effect on the server?  That statement is only half true; your presence will have an effect. It may not magically bring up the player count, but it will be a step to more solutions in this community by having more people to contribute. Yet are you doing it?

If you cannot even get your members (those who remain amounting to 4, as per your claim) to play anymore, then that is an issue on your part as a group, and not the fault of the developers. This message is not only for you, but for all other factions and players who complain about the system while not doing anything to help solve it.



If criminal groups do indeed do not de facto exist anymore, then that is a failure on their part as groups as well, rather than being the fault of the system alone. We cannot accuse the system itself of wiping them out as factions such as Ancelotti (which, by the way, is currently the only formerly official faction that is well on the road to gaining back what they had) and Svensson continue to exist on the server.

Additionally, some players may point out that even some developers (i.e. Teddy) are dissatisfied with the gamemode. The difference, however, is that they are contributing solutions while many of the complainers are not.

Many people continue to be unable to understand the simple message:

Anyone who feels bad about the state the server is in would do best to go in and play instead of talking about it.
As long as all people do is talk here, nothing is going to change.

I had some free time and I intented to check the climate of RC5. The newest script is good, I do enjoy it, I have nothing to complain. But the problem is the insignificant number of players. When I logged in, we were 5; and after a few minutes, the number transformed into 3. And the question is: How can you play like this under the respective circumstances ? I do believe that the changes were produced to bring something new, maybe something more profound than the previous script, and now the idea is to start again from the beginning.

And now, I am pointing my finger to the entire community: Where are you when your most beloved server needs help ? Why are you taking a role in these nonsense disscutions, instead of putting some effort on the practical side ? I have read the above statements, and I am 100% sure that at the end it will come to no conclusion. Guess why ? The fact is; you became too arrogant for giving a hand. You affirm that Argonath needs life; it's not a lively and energetic place. But have you asked yourself why is this happening ? Why is this tumult within the server ? It is because of your lack of interest and effort, you prefer to hide in shadow and wait for something to change. But you do not realize that YOU can change something. This demonstrates how much you are willing to help.

What bothers me, is the economical system. Players lost all of their properties, money, cars. And because of this reason, everybody needs to fly away. Example:


Personally I don't judge anyone but, put yourself in our shoes for one time.(directed to those outside of groups) You haven't lost most attractive properties on server from hotels to ammu-nations.. or a seven year old HQ.

Bro, I have lost MILLIONS of $$$, I got f**ked in the ass by many times by random players, I have lost THREE FACTIONS (i9-left), (TGG-got f**ked), and (BSM-my lovely faction <3. But same reason, I got f**ked here to.) And also; when I was leading BSM back in 2012; guess what ? Since I started this faction till I closed it, I have PLAYED with 40 f**kin K. Am I unique or what ? And even NOW, people asking me:''Bro, when you gonna come back with BSM ?'' ''Bro, that was da shit, we want BSM back!!'' I cared less of economical shit, and putted my heart in what I have done. And what do I need to do now ? Quit after all of this ? Do I need to cut my vains because of a funking reset of the system/script ? No. I am still here and simultaneously looking for roleplayers to open a new faction. Hell with economical system, I know that I'll take care of it.

So what do you need to do: Stop running incognito; stop yelling about that the newest updates are terrible. No. The terrible part refers to all of you. Stop acting like menstruation popped in.

Perhaps you should go outside from time to time, PC is really annoying you. That's what you're capable of, talking in this way infront of a computer.

And I do all of this, in my spare time while also completing my degree and attending to plenty other real-life matters. What about you, what do you do aside from moaning?

*unproductive complaints without any proposed solution*

Perhaps with all your moaning, you'd like to give some output that's better than that of our developers. Otherwise, you have no right to criticize their output. Come back here and complain when you've actually done something useful for this community.



The problem here is not the egos of players themselves. It's the fact that some players cannot set aside their egos and stomach the flaws of an imperfect system so that they can contribute to its betterment instead of complaining uselessly.

RS5 is not yet fully released. Half done is never good.
Like, c'mon lets take the example of criminal life. They are nowadays firemen . They promised the territories and gangwars. That means power. A criminal or basically a gangster deserves territories and mutual respect. Drug business had been good if the spots didnt vanish but were increased. The finding of a spot is tiresome when you could complete 2 missions and earn 5k atleast. RS4 was pretty good in most aspects.

If admins voted for it; It is their own choice to do so.

Just so you know, even members of the administration team (hell even a developer does) have some different opinions on RS5. But instead of going back to the past, they prefer improving on RS5 and therefore are actually suggesting ideas (read ideas, not demands) unlike some who just sit, complain and give no ideas that may make RS5 better for other players.

Across several years of administration work, I disagreed with my peers (and sometimes even the HQ) on several occasions. Your statement is false.

I'm not complaining im stating the obvious.

Congratulatons, we can all see the obvious too. However, aside from just pointing fingers, some of us choose to work toward a solution.

Not surprised that someone like you sees telling others to play, contribute to the community, help fix the gamemode, and actually being productive as an "egostistical" and "narrow-minded agenda". The only reason I'm replying to your posts is that your arguments are so weak, they're enjoyable to break.

This topic's name is "let's get real," so let's get real. Criminal groups are not able to "raise their activity and change their tone" since they do not exist any more. The reset removed everything that made a group a criminal group. Buildings are just some small part of that.

I think that it is important to understand that not even one group today possess all the qualities of a criminal group. Now, all we have here are just some people who were previously known to be members or leaders of criminals group.

Since criminals groups are no longer criminal groups, it is quite normal to remove their official status. After all, they are no longer Mafias or gangs in any way. They are not motivated to continue or rebuild, so it's understandable if it doesn't happen.

It was actually a great idea to get rid of the whole "official group" concept here since it may take a year or two for a new powerful criminal group to emerge. And that may not happen at all since being a law-abiding fireman may become more prestigious and rewarding than being a mobster.

I honestly think that this situation is quite healthy for the community. Look at it this way: the needs of ARFD have been neglected for way too long; now, it is the time for them to steal the spotlight and continue their successful journey. There's no need to look at RS5 in a negative way: any situation leads to some advantages.

Finally, any statements regarding criminal groups "bailing out" are inappropriate since de facto these groups don't exist any more. By all means, if you wish to accuse a non-existent group of present problems – go ahead and do so. That must be fun.
Well said.

Even if 'we' improve RS5, the amount of players will not increase. The main reason is that most of them completely lost their motivation. So you're striving for nothing.

Then they should be given a new motivation.

Then someone should step in and do something.
People are already doing that. The HQ is working their fastest to implement the rest of the missing roadmap, and developers/admins/players (excluding the moaneers) are working and suggesting useful ideas. It's not the final solution, but it's a step; only someone naive would think that this entire situation can be fixed in a snap.

Lol, are you serious? We are talking about a game here, stop mixing IRL with a game. But that's kinda hard for your mind since you're a no-lifer.
Can't be bothered to give the "I do Argonath in my spare time" explanation, but I could point out that you lack the common sense to see that I was not just talking about IRL or Argonath, but everywhere.

Discussing with you hurts my value.  ;)

Being ingame, suggesting ideas for improvements, actually being a part of the community... you know, other things too more useful than just insulting people on the forum and not contributing anything. I post because I like posting, and any past/present/future admin status has nothing to do with that.

Not to mention you cannot tell the difference between "asslicking" and genuine respect. Your ignorance is appalling.

Finally, you still failed to answer what you are contributing aside from insults. Unless you're actually doing something useful for this community, it would do well for you to stop complaining before your privilege to complain here is removed.

I'm currently doing nothing as I don't even play SA:MP often anymore and have moved on to games I find more entertaining. You clearly seem to not be able to just let go of something.

I have moved between Argonath servers three times and taken many breaks. However, I don't stay behind in the ones I don't play anymore and tell everyone there about how I don't play them and how they're going to die.

It's rather apparent that many of those throwing negative accusations and claims have yet to play or even register an account within RS5 by the looks of the comments.

I don't understand why you claim RS5 is so bad yet you don't even play so what's the point of making remarks?
If you actually put the time wasted on complaining into helping perhaps it would be something you would enjoy.

I guess some entertain themselves by complaining and being cynical about anything and everything.

Thanks for spending time to reply to many nonsense replies on this topic.

The underlying solution still remains yet to be seen.

As requested earlier - can the management please share their strategy to remediate the challenges RS5 faces?

At the moment there is discussion ongoing with regards to groups and a topic groups have been mentioning, also there are plans on modifying existing systems within the scripts to make it more "user-friendly" for the users.

Other changes that are in plan to simplify some systems that were found to have room for improvement.

Trust me, if RS4 was still here, they will argue how RS5 public beta is and why it took time to be released. People think only no-sensee they will never learn even if you did what ever they want. They are just here to slow down the progress/grow up of a project.

(those who remain amounting to 4, as per your claim)
Incorrect. I made the claim that there are only four players that I can willingly get to play SA:MP (i.e., play SA:MP or kick), not just four active members. This is due to intense dissatisfaction with RS5, nothing more. I put no blame on the fault of the developers, however if the shoe fits the foot, they are free to lace it up.

If you are referring to me, please quote my posts or make it clearly directed at me in the future.

This is assuming that they care to do so.
This may come off wrong, so I will rephrase - judging from what I've seen on the forums, it appears that the typical "don't like it, leave" and attitude is still hanging around like a fart cloud after Taco Bell, along with "stop moaning" being the typical response to any complaints that are made with good intents in mind.

Moaning, i.e., complaining - express dissatisfaction or annoyance about a state of affairs or an event.

Oh. Okay, let me clear something up to you: The reason why RS4 crashed so often and lagspikes happened and why pings were unbearable was because of the way the gamemode was written, it's developer confirmed.

Yes, you are greedy, because you want to sacrifice something that developers were working long and hard on for getting your money back (You all are crying to restore RS4 with latest database, which means peoples money and assets being returned), RS5 provides an opportunity for other groups and mafias to rise and actually have a fair fight, because everyone starts from beggining, while in RS4 new criminal groups and other groups would be dealt with by the veteran ones.

Also, thats just your opinion with the "laggy and unstable gamemode".

Just to make it clear:
RS1: Was built with the PEN1 script as example, I rewrote about 70%$ to fit it within our ideas and to learn how scripting works.
RS2: Built from scratch for the SA:MP 0.2 release. Unfortunately it was too 'heavy' and advanced for the SA:MP release and could not hold more than 20 players, the amount that beta tested.
RS3: Rewritten and tuned down version of RS2. I learned how to reduce script size and manage memory. In the end it contained 90% of RS2 with only 60% of the script size and using 40% of the RS2 memory.
RS4: Was actually equal to RS3, however instead of making one large script I separated it in to filterscripts, making it possible for multiple scripters to work on the project.
RS4.1: Debugged version of RS4, overhauled by CFBASI and David_Omid mainly. Once they stopped, Conroy and Gimli did the maintenance and added functionality.

RS4.1 has the issue of an outdated file system that places limits on many things. It is based on the system designed for RS3, and if done today I would not make it the same.
Due to its design it is prone to script lag, making it impossible for more as 200 players. However for a single game mode to survive for 6 years is pretty unique, even if we expected to have it replaced about 1 year earlier.

RS5 has a new database design made by UML standards. As a result the database design is ahead of current SA:MP limitations and is built to last. That means we do not look at any type of major reset for the coming 5 to 10 years.

Seems a lot of people need to learn how to development history.

I like how you assume right away that i want my property and money back. What if i told you that its just a game and i really didn't lose anything to start with. They did work their asses off for RS5, do denying that but look at all the people who just dont like it. Also if RS4 WOULD revert giving money and assets back isn't confirmed. And you think they didn't work hard for RS4? You think it just appeared from nowhere? Also, what does who i am have to do with anything here. -___-.

If you cannot even get your members (those who remain amounting to 4, as per your claim) to play anymore, then that is an issue on your part as a group, and not the fault of the developers.
Look, I'm not against exactly against RS5 but let's be honest here - that's just not true.

It was your own fault that you released RS5 so earlier while it was still under construction.
That is factually incorrect.

But that's kinda hard for your mind since you're a no-lifer.

Can someone tell me when the last economic reset was?
November ~21st 2007, for RS2 to RS3.
RS2 was PEN1, like a bunch of freeroam servers ran at the time. You selected your model from the spawn menu each login and spawned at a set place depending on the skin, like freeroam/DM servers. People played it. Heck, a lot of people played it.
RS3 was massively stripped down of unused features and was actually a new gamemode, but for a very long time every player crashed every 15 minutes and lost their weapons. The only way to generate money into the server was cop work. Yet people still played.
RS5 comes along, and this happens. What's up with that? Maybe people just like shooting people more than spraying fires in Grand Theft Auto, you know?

If this frustration is coming from something like the coming of puberty, then feel free to post a separate topic talking about those personal problems as most of the users on this forum have already gone through it and many would be willing to give advice.  :)



Look, I'm not against exactly against RS5 but let's be honest here - that's just not true.

I would be more inclined to believe it was if all factions were wiped out as a result of the changes. However, groups such as Ancelotti, Kolta, [WS], etc.. holding themselves together make a strong point against it.

If those end up disbanding too, then I would finally say that the system has (inadvertently) become completely geared against factions themselves. Otherwise, it could just be said that it simply became more challenging for everyone and that those factions without the willpower are the ones at risk of being wiped out.

As I'm sure you know we'd only recently switched host; as far as I'm aware a backup system was not readily available like on the previous host.

Also... DDOS attacks don't destroy data either; no other attack which has taken place has created such a breach in which data outside of the web host would have been compromised either.

AFAIK the backups were in the same place as the "new" data was due to switching host and then became the darkness and 4 months of data (AND BACKUP) was lost.

If you roleplayed you would see that the fundamental roleplay commands are there and working perfectly.

People have been told it numerous times in this topic and elsewhere, it's showing that they would rather mindlessly argue than do something to remedy the issue.

No wonder Teddy had to take it upon himself to post re-writes of certain systems. 
Biggest issue so far has been about groups and how there's no functionality for criminals, maybe someone who indulges in that area should get a public topic going and see where it goes.

I've read 18 pages of complaining and I can't believe how many old names gathered up to complain about RS5, in fact, i have never seen such users united for anything until now. Admit it, RS5 brought an union. :P

Hey there cofi and leon, I hadn't heard about you for a really long time!

While I was present in the very, very, very early development of RS5 for a really, really, really short amount of time, I had read and understood the plans that we as developers had to follow in order to get to a new gamemode. RS5 is not wrong, it's incomplete. If the roadmap hasn't changed from then, then I can assure you that there are lots of functions not added yet, coincidentially most of the criminal scripts parts.

You can ask, why were the cop/firemen scripts introduced over the criminal scripts? Well, the cop system is not really hard to do if you have a base. While of course it had to be a total rewrite, we knew exactly how should it behave and what it should do, and to be honest, it was not a great innovation since not that many things have changed apart from a very few things.
On the other hand, everything that was planned for the criminal system was purely new and we had no base to attach to, and I am sure it was a great challenge for the developers that had to continue with it, and that might be the reason of why such functions are not still in. As I said, I left in early development so I cannot say much more and maybe I could be completely wrong, but this is my point of view.

I do agree with the fact that there must be actions soon or else the damage done will be unrepairable, however I am not really in a position to complain or ask, I am barely a part of the community right now, compared to what I once was, I am just commenting stuff here.  :strong:

P.S: I agree that the criminals are in a really bad position to do anything. Yes, there are basic roleplaying commands but the main mode on the current state is completely sided for the cops... In RS4 it was like this, however, RS5 was meant to be introduced to create a balanced opportunity for all the three "factions": law, civilian & criminal, but as I said, I trust that this will defenitely change once the scripts are 100% completed.

Now, don't blame the developers either. They have done their best so far and I am sure if they could have done any better they would have done so. RS5 development started too late (and I myself are guilty of that),.

It's all good saying "better do something" but what it is people don't do is provide ways to go about it.  A community sticks together and creates a combined effort, though looking at it now it's more of a split community which is a damn shame.  Those who want to make fun about the server's situation, carry on with your shenanigans the input you provide is ever so helpful.  Ask yourself though, do you care if the server get's back to a state of normality or not?

Before finishing the roadmap, I suggest making changes that are fair between devs and players.

Random hospital spawn should be updated to Nearest Hospital.

Maybe removing the jurisdiction system for a while. At the current playerbase, I really think it's not needed. Maybe at a later time, instead of scripting it, SAPD would force their members to stick to one jurisdiction. Pretty sure Paul ( and maybe others ) did it once.

Allowing players to choose their jurisdiction would be better, and even SAPD command members hate the current jurisdiction script as it is now.

By forcibly assigning cops in a random manner, it effectively kills off all "city departments" and location-specific police sub-groups within the SAPD. These police sub-factions actually promoted a sort of healthy inter-"department" competition within the old SAPD and increased productivity.

Letting cops choose their jurisdiction would be a compromise between retaining the jurisdiction features and allowing cops to get the job they wanted.

Last time I checked (a long time ago, though) players would be assigned a juridisiction depending on the amount of cops needed for such juridisiction. If it's random right now consider it a placeholder. Same with the hospitals.

(The algorithim to determine which juridisiction meeds more c0ps is something I do not know.  :janek:)

It should go how many "incidents" happen in a given area.
If an area has alot of incidents, alot of cops would be assigned there.
If an area has little incidents, there would be very little cops there.

Same should go for Hospitals.

I really don't like the thing with random hospital.
I don't like the thing that /resetspawn is not there,useful for gangs,families,mafias to spawn at their HQ.
I like the Last Location is still here like in RS4.
I like the new system of cops,with exams,shooting and driving and asking questions.
I don't like the thing with jurisdictions?It's really bad , Leroy explained it earlier.
The fire mission should last longer,it's too easy to make much money(10k for 3mins if you do it alone).
I'm not sure,I didn't play much as a cop but they should get their old payment , like 600$ per kill and 800$ to jail him.The suspect should get fined ,if he gets killed, with 1000$ and when he surrenders and goes to jail,he should be fined with 500$ or 400$.
Drug thing, most of the spots should be the old spots for both,heroin and weed.
I don't like the things with containers wtf...the /invent should get back to the old one,that one was perfect.

I don't like the thing that /resetspawn is not there,useful for gangs,families,mafias to spawn at their HQ.

As explained by Gandalf, a command that originally started to fix buggy spawns became used more and more to return after death.

The fire mission should last longer,it's too easy to make much money(10k for 3mins if you do it alone).

These figures are incorrect. The payout is decided b the percentage of the mission and the amount of firemen online, and to earn 10k would take around 3-6 hours of fireman work.

If anything, we need more ways to inject money into the economy so many of the other features can get going as they should.

I'm not sure,I didn't play much as a cop but they should get their old payment , like 600$ per kill and 800$ to jail him.The suspect should get fined ,if he gets killed, with 1000$ and when he surrenders and goes to jail,he should be fined with 500$ or 400$.

Your idea is fundamentally counterproductive, as you're giving suspects all the more reason to shoot cops or fight to the death rather than surrender, something that the current payouts actually do.

Drug thing, most of the spots should be the old spots for both,heroin and weed.

Another bad idea.

I don't like the things with containers wtf...the /invent should get back to the old one,that one was perfect.

Containers made transactions simpler, especially bulk transactions. The current flaw is in the /invent bugs, not /invent itself.

Before you assess the server's features, I would recommend studying them properly. Not just what they do, but why they work that way.

Excuse me if it sounds rude but...
Those who "left" the community were never part of it.
The real community will stick regardless, even if they don't play the game, I believe Argonath will never be left / forgotten.
It might be going through a tough time now but we've had worst chapters in the past and we managed to keep it Argonath.
I mean, nowadays, it's so rare to see a community where people are not judging others based on their roleplaying skills but on their effort and input to the community, that's great.
If anyone tries to start a new server, like Argonath, with no srsbsns shit, no out of chracters and in-chracters and all those 1337-rp etiquette, it'll be ridicularized - and that's what made this server so unique, it really is a world of its own. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing Argonath on the "hot-list" again quickier than we can imagine (:

I like how you assume right away that i want my property and money back. What if i told you that its just a game and i really didn't lose anything to start with. They did work their asses off for RS5, do denying that but look at all the people who just dont like it. Also if RS4 WOULD revert giving money and assets back isn't confirmed. And you think they didn't work hard for RS4? You think it just appeared from nowhere? Also, what does who i am have to do with anything here. -___-.

Then why bargain for the LATEST RS4 database? Why not just make it a complete reset? Money hungry much.

Funny how you just jump into the argument out of the blue. Sorry, you're not worth the effort. I need to learn about development history? Here's a question i'm dying to see you answer; Why would i care about it?

You're desperate to find arguments which you obviously lack, so you start talking utter bullshit in order to proove youre right. He didn't jump into the argument out of blue, he's defending the well-being of the community just like I am, we don't want a finally stable and proper gamemode to be exchange to some buggy laggy wonderland with outdated scripts and using ancient features.

I'm not sure if there was a reset during RS3->RS4 or not.

I can't recall for sure, but I remember the first day of RS4 with people going around in order to buy vehicles (with the first RS4 Vehicle system with specified cars around the map, buy-able and trade-able later..) There were like 2 sultans back then, owned by Cofi & Nitrox, and in order to do that, I believe there was no ecomonic reset..

True, there was no reset between RS3 and RS4 as I can remember owning one of the few Sultans shortly after release (within hours of release) when everyone was running around to find the best cars on the server.
If I can remember correctly there were 5 Sultans and 2 Infernus.

I obviously didn't explore every new thing about RS5, so forgive me if it seems like I'm blowing shit out of my ass.

Even if Cane is a longtime player, I do not measure veterancy by the length of tenure, but by how much the person has matured over their time here and how they face problems. That consequently leads me to regard some "junior" players as more of "veterans" than some who have been here for years.

Those who do not know how to deal with things stop when faced with an unfamiliar challenge and either moan or escape from the problems. Those who have matured size up the situation and see any opportunities to fix things for what they are.

I am certain everyone here (including me, for those who would assume otherwise) agrees that RS5 is in need of improvement, and that only those bereft of common sense would delude themselves into thinking that it is perfect. However, in the different reactions to the change, you can see the clear difference between those who are likely to fail and those who are likely to weather the storm and stay strong.

Can we just.. stop using this topic to bring up isolated issues between a few people? This kind of stuff should not be hashed out on a public topic.

They bring up this in a public topic but took out of context to make me look bad. My response is up there with all my chat log.

PS. If you look at the first post made on this conflict you can see zlatan say 3 bad things and then me say something bad too but really not as bad as what zlatan said. Probably because he couldnt find anything worse. Also what zlatan said up there has no connection with what i said. But hey lets throw out of context chat logs at people !

Let's get down to Business B*tch's,
We all know it will not change anything  just make it worst we know SA:MP Argoanth RPG server is in a difficult situation and critics is even worst, if you want a old Script Always crashing and with  95% chance of not working in the new SA:MP that is being released in a few months (9.3z). RS5 is a new Script build form the 0 making opportunities to all the Gangs/Mafias and Non Official Groups to become one. It is a complete new script with new help methods OFC there is missing scripts but the Developers are doing all that they can and doing critics will only make them lose their spirit to continue wasting their time for use. We still can put Gangstaz all across the streets we still can do kidnaps we can still RP we can still play in the home of Drive By's and we still have love for the streets we cans still sell drugs and get arrested. We cans still be fireman's, medics, mechanics, Drive fancy cars represent your clan. And we still got love for Argonath so relax the scripts that you so want are committing back just be calm and relax. Think that RS5.1 will be a mix with RS4 and RS5. That's why this is The UNITED States of Argonath.

You can't say that yet, since the RS5 Script is not fully done.

[21:34:35] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): Basically. with you saying "RS5 sucks dicks" he tries to make a point that you basically insult the community as a whole.
[21:34:47] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): ok heres my point 
[21:34:52] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): i dont really like rs5 
[21:34:56] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but i love argonath 
[21:35:06] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): and the idea this server was built around 
[21:35:18] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): The issue is that some of these comments are plainly insulting, which will be called out.
[21:35:25] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but in his opinion by not liking rs5 i hate on all argonath ever 
[21:35:26] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): I came here because you were reported to me >_>
[21:35:37] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): So I shall simply say;

[21:35:38] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): yes but his logic is awful 
[21:35:43] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): You're allowed to have your own opinion
[21:35:53] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): indeed 
[21:35:54] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): but try to keep it to yourself if it's insulting in any way.t
[21:36:04] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but please explain him not liking rs5 isnt same as not liking argonath 
[21:36:15] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): and i didnt insult anyone 
[21:36:19] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): if you ever going to check chat logs 
[21:36:29] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): please see zlatan said rs5 sucks 
[21:36:33] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): and i agreed to him 
[21:36:33] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): By insulting RS5 you indirectly insult those who put their effort into it.
[21:36:45] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): the scripters, players who contribute and try to uphold the community.
[21:36:46] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): yes 
[21:36:54] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): so that's why it is picked up as insulting,
[21:36:54] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): i insult their work you are true 
[21:37:08] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but i dont insult rs4 rs3 rs2 rs1 just because i dont like rs5 
[21:37:25] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): You know you're derailing the discussion yourself >_>
[21:37:25] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): thats where he doesnt have a point 
[21:37:29] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): WE discussed the point already.
[21:37:35] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): Did you understand it?

[21:37:37] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): thats why he reported me 
[21:37:47] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): if you cant undersand 
[21:38:00] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): his problem was me not liking rs5 and not liking argonath 
[21:38:06] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): Cease, please.
[21:38:12] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but explain him its not the same thing 
[21:38:15] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): im done 
[21:38:20] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): my point is proven 
[21:38:28] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): And I hope you understood my message as well.
[21:38:32] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): i did 
[21:38:43] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): but to be honest 
[21:38:54] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): jdc is so false even made in china clothing looks good compared to him 
[21:39:01] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): he throws things i never said 
[21:39:07] PM from Leon_Arallian(7): Please, do not continue provoking community members in my PM...
[21:39:15] PM to Leon_Arallian(7): i just pmed you 
[21:39:20] Error: target player has disabled incoming private messages.

[21:39:31] <Leon_Arallian> (7) Freestyler, When I say Cease, I mean it...
[21:39:50] {0055FF}FreeStyler15{FFFFFF}: (11) but you understood my point leon right?
[21:39:55] {0055FF}FreeStyler15{FFFFFF}: (11) even if it was wrong

I dont want to highlight anything or take it out of context. Everyone can read whatever they like and understand the same. (actualy ive gone a little too far with the gandalf part and thats my only bad i want to say sorry for it but now look at the other parts and see where JDC was going)

in my opinion RS5 was a downgrade. And the money and properties reset just took most players will to play and startover.

Reset was inevitable people knew it'd come it was speculated months before the RS5 BETA.  I wouldn't say RS5 is a downgrade, it might look like that right now due to missing features that are badly needed to enhance game-play and give the players more options.  There's no point in still being a douchebag towards RS5 and keeping fingers crossed RS4 will spring back to life, what's done is done.

Summing up the kinds of players in this topic, there are three general classes. I will point out (for the sake of those too stupid to understand this fact and feel the need to post again and again what is obvious) that what all of them have in common is that they recognize the flaws and lack of RS5. What divides them is not whether they see the problems or not, but how they react to it.

First off, you have the players who see that the solution is reachable, and contribute their efforts for the betterment of themselves and/or the community, including, but not limited to playing ingame and/or proposing solutions. Among these are individuals, factions, and admins who step up to the challenge and continue to work in order to help the situation stabilize.

Second, you have neutral players who are undecided or somewhere in between.

And finally, you have moaners and shitters who do nothing but parrot the same sets of complaints again and again, while not providing any useful contributions, nor solutions. These are the kind of people who deserve to be charged for the electricity that Argonath's hardware spends storing their useless messages. (DHR.Marcel, 2014)

Now, choose where you fall under.

Interesting fact that everyone that is complaining are just lazy-ass bastards that will rather shit on the server they once called "home" than join the collective into finding one solution for it. RS5 is not killing Argonath, you are.

They "give a ****" about it for all the wrong reasons. I'd suggest they either change their attitudes, or leave. We only welcome friendly players here. That is why we have had the same rules against provoking, flaming, and attacking players since 2006. We want everyone to have fun, not just a select few who think they can get away with stepping on others.

I'm struggling to understand why some people dislike RS5. A huge portion of the changes were made based on what people wanted out of RS4, now you complain about them?

Then again, complaints are useful for Argonath as then they can realise what's wrong and then suggest a plan to change it. The release of RS5 was extremely rushed and probably would have taken at least another month of constant work to get it to where we would have wanted it, yet we had to release it early.

Constructive criticism or feedback is important for anything to improve, else how is something going to go from bad to good (in your opinion)? Or have you just completely given up on Argonath and won't return even if RS5 is 'improved'?

Taking into consideration the comments from both sides of the fence over the last 35 pages, we must now look to the most factual representation of the community’s wish which is ultimately the poll that has taken place. Over the course of a week, more than 180 players have contributed to the poll and as it stands we have an absolute majority (51.1%) in favour of rolling back to RS4.

(http://s28.postimg.org/iqfljeeml/communityvote.jpg)

Reflecting on the results, the management/owner cannot stand idly by and disregard the collective voice of the community. It is clear by absolute majority that the community wish is to return to RS4 and in view of this all options must now be explored. Indirectly, this is supported by Gandalf’s commission to introduce a more democratic decision making society in Argonath and what better way to build this momentum by honouring the desire of the community to return to RS4.

Taking into consideration the comments from both sides of the fence over the last 35 pages, we must now look to the most factual representation of the community’s wish which is ultimately the poll that has taken place. Over the course of a week, more than 180 players have contributed to the poll and as it stands we have an absolute majority (51.1%) in favour of rolling back to RS4.

That data is far from accurate. Not everyone uses the forums, the polls can easily be abused by users with multiple accounts, and you're only counting opinions of 180 users. SA:MP used to get more than that in a single day, with constant fluctuation in who was online and who wasn't. You're missing a good chunk of people's opinions there.

I would also like to add that 51.1% is not an "absolute majority". The RS4.x count is at 36.1%. That is not a huge difference in numbers.

As Frank said, RS4 is still the voice of 51% of the people who took their time to vote. Doesn't that say anything?

This server used to be a fun relaxation for me when I came home from work (and I bet I wasn't the only one feeling that) but look how it turned out. Of course people are upset when the server they used to love turned out like this. And most of the time the answer they get is; "Don't like it? GTFO then."

This is the same reason why the Oscars in Argo don't do forum polls anymore.

Also, in a topic with obvious bias leaning towards going back to RS4.x, you're going to get more people voting for it from the start. The vast majority of people involving themselves in the subject are the same ones who share the same opinion...

Democracy? The Oscars was one of the purest applications of "democracy" in Argonath, but that did not stop it from being filled with shit and cheating. Not by admins or HQ, but by regular players.

Sometimes, what the majority (or in the case of the poll, the "majority") wants is not always the right thing. If you want to apply the real life democracy example, look at the political situations of many "democracies" and look how fucked-up things have become.

Clearly you have no idea how a democratic voting system in real life works. There are multiple measures to protect from the abuse, and people are encouraged to vote, with plenty of information over an extensive period of time explaining how. None of that exists in this topic.

Those numbers mean nothing. This topic was biased towards RS4.x from the start, even in its previous topic. Of course the votes will be higher for the RS4.x choice. It is mostly pro-RS4.x users that are reading and discussing this, regardless of the overall public's opinions, no matter what they may be. This is not a fair voting ground, even ignoring the other issues I already mentioned several times now.

SugarD,

Time is scarce for me but I'll try to alleviate the concerns you've raised.  The data collected in this poll is unbiased, transparent and free of fraudulent activity (forum moderators are able to carry out due diligence by potentially removing false accounts where applicable). Also, an absolute majority is declared once one body has over 50 percent of the voting in a poll – please seek out proper evidence before making certain claims.

1. It is not unbiased, as the topic itself was biased based on the fact that the topic was created because some users were not happy with RS5, and wanted RS4.x back. That alone puts the poll into its own bias grouping.
2. Forum Moderators are not able to detect, nor remove, any doubled or false user accounts. Only forum Administrators can do that, and I highly doubt they are going through the polls to do this. It is also very difficult to catch people making double/false accounts, in some cases.
3. This is not the U.S. Government. An absolute majority does not exist. Regardless, the lack of votes from missing users can sway this poll in either direction. We do not have the missing votes to say for certain what they outcome would be. You simply have a poll of what most users watching this topic, (who actually voted), believe. That is not the entire community.

SugarD,

1.   The topic was created as an extension to ‘Let’s get real’ by the owner. The server’s management and owner has acknowledged that there are challenges to overcome with the current climate. Stemming from this, this topic was created to gauge the feeling behind the change between RS4 and RS5 as there was no clear cut preference between the two.

2.   Like you’ve said, there are many factors to consider ensuring unequivocal accuracy but under the circumstances this is neither prudent nor realistic. We’ve offered all reasonable options to ensure as accurate as possible voting including moderator/admin coverage.

3.   There has been no statement that this is the US Government. You claimed that 51 percent was not an absolute majority but in fact by definition 51 percent is absolute majority. Also, by claiming that this poll is not legitimate, it could also be argued that we are not counting the significant player base which has left for other communities which were pro-RS4.

Ultimately, our discussion is redundant because the community has voted as an absolute majority that they wish to see the roll back to RS4. Going forward, it is now up to the discretion of the management whether they wish to honour this. What is certain is that failure to uphold the community’s wish will result in immeasurable repercussions.

Both servers can co-exist just fine. This issue is nothing more than players complaining about not having virtual items they want back.

Everyone really needs to just deal with it or try the suggestions given by Devin. To put it simply, if I wanted to see this many people moaning for no apparent reason, I'd go watch porn, (which I'm not a fan of).

Can't you understand why people want RS4.1 back? Because it is so easy to make money there. So it means that they want money. If RS5 is shitty like hell, why the heck are you playing in it then? To ruin the game? Animations are working perfectly, only 10 percent of scripts not added yet. What are the bugs are annoying your troll game play? /taxi and get fastly in a car?
Not everyone want RS4.1 back, if you don't accept small changes deal with it. I am one of the guys that want RS5 strongly stay in SA:MP.

Actually, it's not, it's way more complicated. If you fart, a menu pops up and you have options to choose whether it will smell badly or not, while in RS4 there are no any useless menu boxes (there are some, but they are very useful).
Also, what's up with the rainbow on the public chat? It looks funny, same as when you join some random server which was developed by a 10 year old kid.

- PD's bugged, no PnS (what if they're no mechanics online, and mechanics can be used for evil in criminal work, aka abuse), many more...
- Bank, wallets, card and that shit are way more complicated, $10 charge for every deposit and withdrawal...
- 99 percent of the server died, left and want RS4 back...

RS4:

- Simply as hell, fun, RP.
- Commands are fully finished, police ranks, PnS, no shitty mechanics. Simplicity at highest.
- Gangs, police, mafia, good old times huh...
- 150 upto 200 players DAILY, whilst in RS5 10 players max, daily...
- RS4 only had one problem, which was CBFASI's damn grammar mistakes in some text, but overall RS4 was the best yet. EVERYONE KNOWS IT, even Gandalf, all the admins...

Don't you find it just a little double-standard how you want players to start helping a community which was more or less killed by the very hands of its owners?
Moaning might not make things any better, but these complaints were only an outcome of the way the owners chose to form their server. And yeah, they probably won't bring back RS4, just know that a huge pile of the weight is on the owners when you look at the server and see lack of activity. If you feel like giving it time will solve things, then do as you please. But pretty please, don't blame the players for not joining what you ruined.

Can't you understand why people want RS4.1 back? Because it is so easy to make money there.
For the average player, particularly an ungrouped on, it's easier to make money in RS5.

Not everyone want RS4.1 back
To be entirely fair, the poll is quite telling.

I think what people need is a roadmap or some kind of stronger plan for when the remaining base features of RS5 will be implemented. I know that's hard to do with volunteer devs, but it's worth a shot to at least throw something together.

Taking into consideration the comments from both sides of the fence over the last 35 pages, we must now look to the most factual representation of the community’s wish which is ultimately the poll that has taken place. Over the course of a week, more than 180 players have contributed to the poll and as it stands we have an absolute majority (51.1%) in favour of rolling back to RS4.

(http://s28.postimg.org/iqfljeeml/communityvote.jpg)

Reflecting on the results, the management/owner cannot stand idly by and disregard the collective voice of the community. It is clear by absolute majority that the community wish is to return to RS4 and in view of this all options must now be explored. Indirectly, this is supported by Gandalf’s commission to introduce a more democratic decision making society in Argonath and what better way to build this momentum by honouring the desire of the community to return to RS4.

You guys really destroyed the server... real f**king good...

RS5:

- Commands are complicated, not finished, with useless menu boxes and tons of bugs.
- PD's bugged, no PnS (what if they're no mechanics online, and mechanics can be used for evil in criminal work, aka abuse), many more...
- Bank, wallets, card and that shit are way more complicated, $10 charge for every deposit and withdrawal...
- 99 percent of the server died, left and want RS4 back...

RS4:

- Simply as hell, fun, RP.
- Commands are fully finished, police ranks, PnS, no shitty mechanics. Simplicity at highest.
- Gangs, police, mafia, good old times huh...
- 150 upto 200 players DAILY, whilst in RS5 10 players max, daily...
- RS4 only had one problem, which was CBFASI's damn grammar mistakes in some text, but overall RS4 was the best yet. EVERYONE KNOWS IT, even Gandalf, all the admins...

RS5 WAS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE, NOT DESTROY ARGONATH, WAKE UP.

Missing RS4:
-All ways crahsing
-95% chance of not working in SA:MP 0.3z
-Old scripts
-Lots of Data Lost
-etc

And RS5 isn't complete you can not a compare a 4 year scrip with a 4 months one >_< (RS4.1 is better but RS5.1 will be even Better)
There is something called " Real World and Update"

Then you countered your own argument. You claim that people don't want to join because RS5 has bad scripts that you don't like, yet say they don't want to join simply because "it is RS5". The truth here is that no one wants to join because others aren't doing it. Players of MTA:VC will find this situation very familiar...

Coming from someone who has been an admin in multiple servers throughout the community for years, both from the bottom to the top, I can't even begin to describe how wrong you are.

Please begin.

Cool story bro, Luciano isn't the server, you just proved my point.  :lol:

It's pointless to talk to you. Noone asked you anything, yet you just bump into facts you know are right saying some nonsense.

Becauce Luciano is not the server, because criminal groups are not the server, because regular players are not the server, maybe that's why there's so many people on the server.

Keep changing your font, talk nonsense and maybe you get some attention you're badly seeking for or just go and make some crowd ;)

Why not share this with the wider community?

If you take a look at this topic, I barely see any actual constructive feedback. I know there are people who are trying to help and there are people who are doing what they are meant to and actually reporting the bugs by playing ingame. The decision ultimately lies down to HQ and I don't think they'd simply ignore the players opinions.



Two very simple questions:

If the bugs in RS5 were fixed, would you play?
If the bugs in RS5 were fixed and you wouldn't want to play, what would you want to see changed?

Very few people have actually answered this seriously and constructively despite topics that were made about it (and probably severely moderated..)

You guys really destroyed the server... real f**king good...

RS5:

- Commands are complicated, not finished, with useless menu boxes and tons of bugs.
- PD's bugged, no PnS (what if they're no mechanics online, and mechanics can be used for evil in criminal work, aka abuse), many more...
- Bank, wallets, card and that shit are way more complicated, $10 charge for every deposit and withdrawal...
- 99 percent of the server died, left and want RS4 back...

RS4:

- Simply as hell, fun, RP.
- Commands are fully finished, police ranks, PnS, no shitty mechanics. Simplicity at highest.
- Gangs, police, mafia, good old times huh...
- 150 upto 200 players DAILY, whilst in RS5 10 players max, daily...
- RS4 only had one problem, which was CBFASI's damn grammar mistakes in some text, but overall RS4 was the best yet. EVERYONE KNOWS IT, even Gandalf, all the admins...

AND YOU STILL SAY RS5 IS BETTER. Its not.

RS5 WAS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE, NOT DESTROY ARGONATH, WAKE UP.

Thats my constructive feedback..

Development early on wasn't as involved as the last year was. I'm sure I wouldn't be that far off in saying that the last year of development was probably the "busiest" year and the most progress was made in that year. Bugs don't take as long to fix either presuming a whole re-write isn't needed (of the bugged system that is).

RS4, RS5 was released too soon.
Tell that to the players that were shitting and saying RS5 was never going to come or said RS5 was taking too long.

Anyways I find it funny that the leadership always said "RP it" whenever players asked for a command for this and that, now we have a script shock full of scripts and TA-DA here we are.

Main problem was that developers gave so many attention to some parts of the script while overlooking/rushing other parts... The players who got their enjoyment from these so called 'other parts' left leaving a big hole in the playerbase. Low players leads to low players.
Want to fix the playerbase? Start by yourself.

As for the developers.. My true opinion is.. Stop being afraid to make criminal work profitable. It's meant to be that way. In real life that's the way it goes, more money for the risk of jail. So make it that way. Also... Funny how it gets past some people the trouble developers went to give criminals more trouble. Sounds ironic doesn't it? Yes, I'm talking about things such as the new drug system, the blockades infront on every Ammunation, shortcut blocking... I could go on..

Sorry If my opinion is not well received. But to be honest it's how I see it.

RS5:

- Commands are complicated, not finished, with useless menu boxes and tons of bugs.
- PD's bugged, no PnS (what if they're no mechanics online, and mechanics can be used for evil in criminal work, aka abuse), many more...
- Bank, wallets, card and that shit are way more complicated, $10 charge for every deposit and withdrawal...
- 99 percent of the server died, left and want RS4 back...

Commands are complicated or the systems are complicated? If it's the first then playing on Argonath isn't the first thing I'd be worried about.
As said multiple times, RS5 was released before it was ready meaning there were clearly going to be bugs.
Would you rather 1 menu or 10 commands?

Refer to my point about bugs.
Not sure what happened with PnS's, I'm sure that they were meant to be put back but I may be wrong.
Many more isn't constructive.

If you actually spent 5 minutes to take a look at the banking system you'd realise it's actually pretty easy to understand, although it may be different in your case in which I'd suggest you refer to my first point.
You're actually complaining about $10?
99 percent isn't accurate and contradicts the results of the point of this entire topic.


RS4:

- Simply as hell, fun, RP.
- Commands are fully finished, police ranks, PnS, no shitty mechanics. Simplicity at highest.

- RS4 only had one problem, which was CBFASI's damn grammar mistakes in some text, but overall RS4 was the best yet. EVERYONE KNOWS IT, even Gandalf, all the admins...

I don't exactly know what to say about that, having fun with RP depends on a persons perspective. I'm quite sure you had fun breaking rules in RS4.1 but that's not on topic.
Commands were fully finished in RS4.1 yet there were still a ton of bugs. I don't think you get the point that we clearly told you that there were going to be bugs.
Good old times, let's go back to the time where the internet didn't exist so this wouldn't have even been a problem. "Good old times".
Get off the forums and go IG, notice the change in player count?
I don't know how you don't get banned for that but what ever.

Post by: JDC on February 06, 2014, 08:28:06 pm
JDC are you even an active SAMP player?

No, not at all. I am never ingame and I have not tried the server since the RS5 Beta was uploaded. In fact, I am completely curious as to how I know exactly who is active, and also wondering how I got familiar with the features and was able to post several bug reports.
</sarcasm>

But the fact that you even asked this question shows that you yourself are not. :)



Actually, it's not, it's way more complicated. If you fart, a menu pops up and you have options to choose whether it will smell badly or not, while in RS4 there are no any useless menu boxes (there are some, but they are very useful).
I have to agree on this part, not because dialog boxes were used for complicated tasks, but because they just had to incorporate even the simplest ones. (i.e. /cash, /bank) At this point I would liken RS5 to a Blackberry 10 device; nice hardware, but the OS (user interface) is not so user-friendly.

Also, what's up with the rainbow on the public chat? It looks funny, same as when you join some random server which was developed by a 10 year old kid.
Aside from the messages reminding players to report bugs on the forum, it looks pretty much the same to me.

I like to play, not to explore bugs.
You cannot have the benefits without the responsibilities. If it was not for many people who explored RS4's bugs (and thus enabled the devs to fix them), you would not have been able to have the RS4 gameplay experience.

Man, calm down
Before you ask him to calm down, you might want to look at his logs (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103727.msg1652306#msg1652306). They're hilarious.



Why not share this with the wider community?

Because the "wider community" has a penchant for fucking things up and derailing even the most useful, productive discussions. Examples are the two Let's Get Real topics, and even the Oscars.



I would like to see how players voted and not administration.

Yeah, because admins are not human beings nor real players, and should not have the same rights that non-admins enjoy...



Welcome to Argonath RPG.
False. I myself have made negative feedbacks (some in forum posts, and others elsewhere) but I do not shit.

A negative feedback is only shitting if people do not know how to express it properly without the aim of destroying others or throwing shit somewhere.  Unfortunately that is a problem for many people.



People like you destroy argonath and i dont like people who do that
I fucking LOL'd. You're the one pointing fingers, shitting, moaning, and flaming other players on a regular basis. Khm, on the other hand, is frequently ingame, helping out the community.

Better consider who is seriously the more useful human being here. (Panda Araatus, 2014)

Thats my constructive feedback..

Very few people have actually answered this seriously and constructively despite topics that were made about it (and probably severely moderated..)

Thanks for bringing this up Jones. You will notice in my original post, I’ve made several comments related to the current state of RS5 and the unprecedented challenges we face and possible options of rectifying those. Though the resolution of defects/bugs is important, it is not the highest priority in my view. The highest priority is restoring confidence in the spirit, personality and flare of SA:MP Argonath which in my opinion has been compromised by RS5 through drastic game mode change from its predecessors.

Alongside the above, there has been a side storm brewing which was economic/group stagnation which is ever increasingly crippling the server. For example, when players have less money, they are less likely to spend. This means that public roles like a taxi driver have no purpose because they are very unlikely to obtain customers meaning they will vacant the role. The mismanagement of RS5 economic stimulus has led us to the brink of economic uncertainty and some might argue recession.

In short, to answer your questions:

1.   No, if the bugs alone were fixed, I would not play in RS5.

2.   If the bugs were fixed, a large proportion of RS4 functionality would have to reintroduced and constant but proportionate economic stimulus would be required. Saying this, it would not work with the current player base and would take many months or realistically years to return to standalone economic growth. In short, a return to RS4 is more strongly preferred but with the caveat that we reduce 25% of bank deposits and cash in hand for all players.

Instead people decide to run around screaming and shouting on the forums instead of providing problems and solutions then moving on.

Thanks for bringing this up Jones. You will notice in my original post, I’ve made several comments related to the current state of RS5 and the unprecedented challenges we face and possible options of rectifying those. Though the resolution of defects/bugs is important, it is not the highest priority in my view. The highest priority is restoring confidence in the spirit, personality and flare of SA:MP Argonath which in my opinion has been compromised by RS5 through drastic game mode change from its predecessors.

If there are features that the majority of players want and they aren't already included then it would be my belief that the development team would take these into consideration and implement them as soon as possible. I do remember that the status of the team when I left was to prioritize fixing bugs rather than implementing new features however, but that could always change. Increasing the personality would require people to accept the fact that RS5 is here and to help make it become the gamemode that they want.

Alongside the above, there has been a side storm brewing which was economic/group stagnation which is ever increasingly crippling the server. For example, when players have less money, they are less likely to spend. This means that public roles like a taxi driver have no purpose because they are very unlikely to obtain customers meaning they will vacant the role. The mismanagement of RS5 economic stimulus has led us to the brink of economic uncertainty and some might argue recession.

It was never sure how the economy would work whilst starting out, and the fact that the gamemode wasn't complete upon release made the economy even more difficult. To make the economy stable I do believe some form of stimulus would be required for the flow of money to actually begin.

2.   If the bugs were fixed, a large proportion of RS4 functionality would have to reintroduced and constant but proportionate economic stimulus would be required. Saying this, it would not work with the current player base and would take many months or realistically years to return to standalone economic growth. In short, a return to RS4 is more strongly preferred but with the caveat that we reduce 25% of bank deposits and cash in hand for all players.

The current player base is a clear problem for the economy as it's designed to work without any manual intervention. However, there is no reason as to why features can't be added to RS5 (albeit I'm unsure as to which features from RS4 didn't make it to RS5, maybe someone could list the important ones presuming there already isn't one) and if people then started to play I'd imagine the economy would fix itself, if not it could always be intervened.

Going ingame for now, going to debunk some of the most shitty logical loopholes in this topic later.



Sure bud, what ever floats your boat if you got offended by my post.
And your saying I didn't?
You didn't even know what GTA SA was and I was already playing at Argonath. If all you going to do is bullshit might aswell start a topic.

If everyone from HQ agrees with you, then I would tell you that you are ingrates.

Thanks for your response Jones.

Fundamentally, there was a lapse in traceability between requirements/ideas and how those would be turned into functional solutions. To a degree, it could be argued that if the foundations are unstable, what good would it bring building on top of those as the higher you go, the less stable the foundations become. Personally, I believe that improving the game mode however proposed is redundant considering many of the factors I’ve mentioned. Added to that, despite the developers being great at what they did with RS5 – they are visibly demoralised and rightfully so.

I agree, economic stimulus is required but looking at the current player base it would not circulate wide enough to spur on long term growth. Let us also remember that the RS5 economy is very premature and underdeveloped - and it might take a number of years to gain credible momentum. In contrast, the RS4 economy was built over years, through incremental stages and while inflation was argued to be too high by the owner – we could resolve this issue by reducing players cash in hand and bank reserve by 25% across the community.

Ultimately, like I said to SugarD – the community is the ultimate voice and in the current standing of the poll, it’s clear that we have an absolute majority in favour of returning to RS4.

Quite possibly the main "core" of RS5 wasnt at the stage that everyone thought it would be at, yet I'd still imagine that the result of RS5 which has no bugs would be one that people would warm up to. Clearly there's a consensus that features of RS4 should be brought back because it's what people enjoyed in the game. If people don't enjoy it then there's something wrong, and for every problem there's a solution. After the reaction and shit people have given the developers without actually giving constructive feedback, it's what you'd expect like you said.

I'm basing my statements on the fact that I'm presuming RS5 will stay. So with that, I agree that the economy isn't in a state of actually giving a stimulus yet it isn't in a state where it can run by itself. If the player count does increase however I do believe that one large(ish) stimulus would be enough to keep the economy afloat.

Ultimately, like I said to SugarD – the community is the ultimate voice and in the current standing of the poll, it’s clear that we have an absolute majority in favour of returning to RS4.

Thanks for your response Jones. I agree with all of your points but believe that one may need to be refined. There is no easy fix for the economy. An economy is built over considerable time permitting that there are players there to support its growth. That said, I’d like to revisit the possibility of reverting back to RS4 as it seems it be a very detested approach which corrects the economic/group stagnation issue. Perhaps the developers can help us out here, but what is the technical possibility of reverting back to RS4?

RS4 lost data leading up to the release of RS5. I'm not sure who has the full set of scripts anymore (I'm presuming Gandalf kept some somewhere) but it would just require replacing the files. However, that being said, RS4 is a technical nightmare. The script itself isn't coded in a way that would be considered efficient nor does it take into account any other developers working on the script. It would be difficult to fix any bugs (of which there were quite a few, people forget that), the script would be inefficient and could potentially cause quite severe lag upon the server and there would be little to no chance of newer features being implemented.

Thanks for your response Jones. I believe last RS4 backup was 4-5 months ago, meaning that players will have lost their player stats from approximately September. From what I understand, RS4 is a technical nightmare because many developers with contrasting techniques of coding had worked upon it crossing wires and making it difficult to untangle. Essentially, we are saying that there is very limited scope to build on RS4 from a functional (feature) perspective or to resolve existing issues such as lag.  Ultimately though, if it is the decision of the players and respected by the management – the roll back to RS4 is very much feasible and realistic from a technical and functional view.

Why did the developers tought a new script was needed?
What was wrong with the old script, except the bugs and bad code already mentioned above?

Instead of making a new gamemode from scratch wich is totally different, why didn't the developers re-made RS4 from scratch using the coding used in RS5 and then carry on with adding new features/removing other stuff?

I get a feeling that what developers tought was wrong players tought was right. I think this the real reason we have this problem in the first place.

This is serious post. If you don't have a serious response then don't bother.

This is serious post. If you don't have a serious response then don't bother.

Razor, I think it’s because the owner/management wanted to introduce a more challenging game mode to stimulate the mind of more experienced players who had achieved what there was to achieve on RS4. Added to this, the issue of lag was a considerable burden and it was thought this RS5 would bring a refreshing feeling to the community all of which in my opinion did not strategically pan out as expected.

I agree with you Razor – if lessons are learnt from this, we will restore RS4 with the last known backup in line with the community’s wish and work should then be encouraged to rebuild RS5 to resemble RS4 with enhanced and more editable code. From that point, we should then plan to incrementally introduce features rather than overhauling the game mode at once.

I agree, economic stimulus is required but looking at the current player base it would not circulate wide enough to spur on long term growth.
Could be solved by either announcing that economic stimulus is on the way and then dividing some funds equally, or by producing it in terms of temporary in-game actions that will lead to high rewards, and to be done either one time only or, say, once a week? Once an hour, but only once per day per player? I know Gimli was thinking of a system that would support this a lot, but I doubt it got anywhere even remotely close to being finished, or knowing him, even started.

And please, this isn't players "asking HQ for favours", it's not begging for a bone like dogs, it's actual and serious potential solution(s) to the problem of not having any players and not being able to do much more than fire duty or RP (which, 50 pages later, we can all agree that we can easily do on forums, without having to bother going in-game). It's not a reward that HQ should award for players if they all start logging in-game and behaving, and stop moaning, it's something that needs to be done to attempt to salvage the f*ck-up state the server has ended up into. If HQ still thinks that the players are "undeserving" of having the server even ATTEMPTED to be revived, then I don't understand why they even bother responding to this topic.

Congratulations! The wait is over! (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103278.0)
Yeah, I'm sure that topic will answer all the questions below.

I'd like to ask a few questions.
Why did the developers tought a new script was needed?
What was wrong with the old script, except the bugs and bad code already mentioned above?
Instead of making a new gamemode from scratch wich is totally different, why didn't the developers re-made RS4 from scratch using the coding used in RS5 and then carry on with adding new features/removing other stuff?

You know ... It is possible to adjust the RS5 script to become more of an "improved RS4" script. Why discuss something that will never happend (moving back to RS4) and instead try to think of new ways to improve the RS5 script?

Why can't you just bring back RS4! We don't care about the 4 months of lost data, reset our accounts, we don't care! Just bring it back because when I load up the SA:MP client and see this:

What my brain actually sees is this:

(http://global3.memecdn.com/wtf-is-this-shit_o_242831.jpg)

And i'm not trolling, this is what I think, and I'm sure many others do too. You can't have a server with no players.. you're wasting money, time and effort. You've already wasted enough of that with RS5 so before you waste anymore, BRING BACK RS4.

Thanks  :app:
Title: Re: Let's get real - part 2 - RS5 or RS4?
Post by: eymas on February 07, 2014, 09:59:28 am
There are very good reasons why RS4 has been replaced by RS5, if you would've paid attention you would know them.

It's as useful as the arguments explaining Windows XP is better than Windows 7 and Windows 8 being worse than Windows 7...

Besides... All that was requested in the ideas topic have been implemented (Well, some: since the rest is still being planned.) and the bugs are known as we did not have much choice but to perform an early release.

Again, the only way RS4 will return is if one accepts the challenge of Gandalf, or to make it themselves; only that the latter has been done with chaotic consequences.
Having said that... RS4 will presumably never return, the least that can be expected is to adopt that which is possible. in example: you could expect the return of /send for cash. However; the other changes will most likely stay because it is perhaps better.
* If you really want to play around with commands, I suggest trying out a Linux distro.

RS5 itself was a major improvement over RS4, as the latter was a tangled mess of wires as said by the developers. To make it possible to improve RS5 over time a rewrite had to happen to ensure compatibility: Perfectly understandable since a tidy table provides enough room to draw upon.

Holding myself from parroting all words that were said before:

Consider me disappointed in that the community is breaking itself down; By refusing to aid us in steering the server to the right direction where everyone is and will be satisfied: I doubt we will improve at all.
If you wish to hold back development because you cannot get used to change, I suggest to help the development team into suggesting possibilities that could bring back what you miss.

Since RS5 is a new generation, it still holds the core values of RS4. Do not assume that the latter is lost/absorbed in the former, for you can make your word valuable by examining RS5, and to suggest in the ideas board what you wish to change.

In short: If you miss RS4, and dislike certain features of RS5. Examine the possibilities to merge the two.
Much like what I had provided as an example, bringing an unified experience will make everyone happy.

Alas... I hope.
I do not wish to see the community tear itself apart by a civil war.

This  "Challenge" I mentioned was said in the past:

Quote from: Gandalf
"If one wishes for RS4 to return: you can either donate $400 and let the server reach the 200 player mark for an amount of time, Or you could make it yourself."
* Based on memory.

Now, we had seen what the second statement led to...

We don't know what's going on behind the curtain. If you're working on it, then it might be good to inform all the players what's going on.

Let me fix that for you. Because some people have no fucking common sense and choose to bitch about the problem rather than help solving it. The status of a player as a developer or non-developer is incidental to the fact that they can contribute an idea aimed at an actual solution instead of more bitching, whether good or bad.

People are complaining developers do not care about or listen to players, yet they ignore topics like THESE (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103344.0) that are focusing on improvement and are very quick to bitch instead.

Even worse, Let's Get Real part 2 has reached 10 times more pages (mostly of people moaning and shitting) than How can we improve RS5?, the latter being a topic that actually ASKS for a fucking solution and what people want to solve. I hereby congratulate all of you for contributing to problems instead of solutions, good job everyone.

If a person's eyes are full of shit, then they will continue to see shit wherever they go. Now how about finding ways to clean it up instead of spreading it more? This goes for all of you.

Fuck ponies. I was one of those who were quick to acknowledge and point out flaws in RS5, including overuse of dialog boxes for simple commands and the random hospital spawning (which I also hate), among many others. Yet I would rather help solve these, than sit on my ass and bitch all day.

Windows is a poor analogy to use because it works against the argument you're making. Windows 7 was what everyone liked, then they released Windows 8 which was universally hated. Technically the underlying systems were better and it had better performance, but it had features that nobody had asked for and were disliked across board (sound familiar yet?).
Did MS force people to use it, at the risk of losing customers to a different OS? No, they changed it to make the desktop boot a default option because that's what people actually wanted. They made a compromise based on the actual needs of the users. You could make exactly the same comparison for XP, Vista and 7.

They made a small compromise for a single, disliked detail as an added option. They didn't redo the entire thing from scratch, or start selling copies of Windows 7 again, (original or modified). People also actually listened to their solutions and tried them instead of *****ing about how much they hated the issue to begin with.

Many of those ideas were shit, by the way.

I actually regret that I was not strict enough, as many of those who love to stay here and shit are still enjoying the freedom to do so. I'm wondering where they would be if Aragorn (who actually knows how to discuss a solution, despite being strict) was still around.

Unlike Windows, which is a mass-marketed operating system, the SA:MP server can obviously only run one gamemode at a time, so we do not have much of a choice. (unless someone here actually steps up to Gandalf's challenge and makes RS4 happen again. Anyone?)

RS4 was an outdated script that was poorly maintained, filled with many different coding techniques rather than a streamlined design. Windows 7, on the other hand, was fast, stable, and (is still being) hailed as innovation, which means it stands up to Windows 8 (despite the latter's superior handling in some aspects) much better than RS4 can stand up  to RS5. You should know this as well.

As for compromising, the HQ is already discussing solutions, and are seeking ways to improve it. (one of the topics being linked in my signature, by the way) However, people seem to like bitching rather than giving actual constructive solutions to our problems.

If people helped solve something they do not like instead of complaining about it, we'd actually progress better.

A very realistic challenge, by the way.
He only came up with such a challenge as a result of how RS5 turned out to be, well-knowing that returning to RS4 would be the right choice. Although, admitting failure can be tough, but not having the balls to do so even if it means "moving towards other projects" is just naive and moreover pitiful.

But go on, take your shortsighted mind with you and hold up your signs urging people to "Go IG - RP & have fun".

In all fairness I think this is a pretty good opinion. Everyone should accept the fact that RS5 is here and that's what it's going to be, yet there's a majority of people that would like RS4 back, so clearly there's features within RS4 that aren't included with RS5 and I'm sure the developers would look into that.

Regarding RS5, he has told the player count isn't relevant. Based on that challenge, player count can't get more relevant.
I don't really know what asking for money to correct something they made tells you, but to me, it's just another of the many signs showing nothing but the desire to prevent gandalf's "vision" to go to waste as well as the scripters time on RS5. Personally, I do find that egotistic.
Fact of the matter is, you could either carry on with your "stop being on the forum and just play the disliked RS5"-nonsense or you could man up by taking a look at the cold numbers showing the true state of your server.

Funny, I am ingame regularly, circulating with other players and saving up money to start a regular event initiative. How are you contributing to SA:MP now, aside from not being here?
And just because you probably (can't say since I don't play anymore) started being recently active you think you're the cure and Mr.KnowItAll for the whole situation? Where were you when the server was constantly at 150/150 and groups like Gvardia, Corleone, Ancelotti etc. were keeping the server alive? Or did you just decide to now get active to try to impress somebody? I kinda saw you post a few times that "you're doing this in game" and that "you're contributing by doing this in-game" and let me just ask you to please stop. There are a lot of people who have the right to claim that they really did contribute to something in Argonath and you're not one of them.

I am not contributing because I left the server about two months ago.

Many of those ideas were shit, by the way.

I actually regret that I was not strict enough, as many of those who love to stay here and shit are still enjoying the freedom to do so. I'm wondering where they would be if Aragorn (who actually knows how to discuss a solution, despite being strict) was still around.
Even if you were, that wouldn't have any effect right now.

Then by what standard do you put yourself above those who are actively contributing in the here-and-now?

Your opinion. Though your "just RP it" point of view wasn't really supported by the majority of the players.

If by "majority" you mean the many supporters of ideas that were riddled with anti-fun elements and poor game design (Panda Araatus, 2014), then I have no regrets. Nearly all of those ideas would have harmed the server more had they been implemented.

Ironically, as the ideas that "harmed" the server now in RS5 are themselves products of PLAYER suggestions...

More ironically is gandalf saying he had already planned, years ago, how he would like the server to look like (which came a reality with the upbringing of RS5).
I don't blame the dissapearence of the 100+ players utterly on the scripters, but you don't have to be a genuius to realize, things just aren't turning out that bright. Admitting it is a whole different thing, I'm afraid.

Honestly guys, I don't understand you. Instead of working together, you're fighting without a reason and without a purpose. We should be united as a community, giving our best finding solutions for getting back to life the SA:MP division.

If someone would put me to choose between RS4.1 and RS5 I would surely choose RS4.1.

RS4.1 was perfect, original and easy to play.. thats why we all liked it. But bringing RS4.1 is not A SOLUTION. Forget about it.

But there is still an opportunity to make a twin of RS4.1. So, my idea is: Removing everything which is complicated(here you should ask players opinions), such as: wallet/phone system, mechanic job(at least for now) and everything similar to this. Try to resemble it with RS4.1.

Also creating more jobs: such as farmer, trucker and so on. There should be more opportunities to earn money instead of the fireman job.

A message to community leaders: Do not waste the time, you've been choosed for this job for something. Start doing something since you're one who can start "the recovery".

I haven't a clue what you have been reading but no where did Gandalf say that the server must be on 200+ players constantly.

Did RS4 panel data got all erased as well? I'd love to see a graph of unique logins per day prior to RS5, I know you could check it through the time online feature there (players per page times pages), but idk if you got other means.

'cos I don't think there were 200 unique logins or had been for a while (not consistently anyway), so that challenge is ehhh quite a reach

At some points I totally agree with him. There are lots of ideas which can be implemented; such as removing the shitload amount of state cars to give the taxi duty an opportunity (just an example). But the main question is - .. who is going to do that? Actually I don't see anyone interested in doing it.

There have been huge mistakes in RS5 that made the amount of players to decrease. One of them is removing all the assets of the official groups. I mean, put yourself in the leaders place for a moment. How would you react? I have been in Gvardia for a long time and I know very well how the struggled for getting these properties. It's not just about Gvardia, it's about for every official group in RS4.1. I find it unfair and also disrespectful against the groups who kept the server alive.

But ehm, you could come up with an idea such as giving the official groups a chance of choosing five properties from RS4.1. But as I said, that's just one of the reasons why the server is falling down.

Taxi duty was never a job to make a good amount of cash from, it's weak and petty compared to the others.  Only time you did make anything worthwhile was when your fare tipped you extra.
State cars are good for newer players getting around, I'd hate to spawn in and have to run for 10 minutes to find a vehicle.  Maybe impose some kind of rental system at the airports where players can rent state vehicles? That way a abundant amount of state vehicles could be removed to path way for driver duty to have more of a purpose.

People speculated of a reset for months before RS5 even hit BETA, it was pretty much inevitable everything would be reset.  I suppose the heritage list should come into play here though, those who held properties for a specific amount of time could be handed them back or refunded with a monetary reward?  Server leadership has already given opportunity for HQ's to be re-instated to groups who achieve Official status a HQ that won't ever be removed.  Businesses and what not, sure people worked for them over the years and yes I'd be pissed off but I wouldn't hold a grudge.  I'd shrug my shoulders and get working again, giving up is for the weak.  (not aimed at anyone so don't be jumping to some BS conclusions)

Players won't get RS4 - SA:MP won't get players, it's very obvious.

Then the server will continue to have a low population, RS5 fiasco really has shown what this community is like.  No-one gives a f**k about time and effort spent by the devs and they certainly don't wish to try improve something they don't like.

Yup. Just sad they don't care.

What's more sad is how the way people have acted over RS5.  It's a disgrace, you wonder why they don't care?

Reverting back to RS4 is not a solution. You don't know how much of their spare time have the scripters used to create RS5. If you feel that the scripts are complicated, then think how complicated making the scripts would be.

Reverting back to rs4 would basically mean telling the developers to take their two years of hard work and shove it up their ass, that is disrespecting their contribution the community. They have used their spare time to create a game mode for a gaming community. If their work is scraped, think how would they feel. Basically, they will feel that they have wasted a considerable amount of time on a game for nothing..

 
The scripters would be happy if you actually help them making rs5 easier as that would give them a sense of relief that their work has not gone in vain.

I honestly do appreciate the work scripters have been done but i  think that server should have been public since it's beggining, or atleast have monthly preview when it's open for public. But let's face the truth, the server is free to play, developers and scripters are not paid, so u can't expect too much, and even tho u can't expect too much they did more than a great work and made a lot of effort, so just appreciate what u got, before you lose it.

Also when i say that we can't expect too much, i dont think that you (developers scripters) did anything less than great

Can you, please, stop saying that people don't appreciate or disrespect the developer's work? Developers didn't decide what they will be scripting. If anyone is disrespecting the developer's work, it's Gandalf by leading them in a direction that ends up in server not being played at nearly the capacity and generally disliked. And that's what people disrespect. Not the sheep, but the shepherd.

Sure, you couldn't have predicted it would end up like this, but it did, and that's the end game.

So yeah.

Unlike what those with eyes full of shit see, those who are in favor of RS5 already know about the existence and extent of the problems, which is why they work to help the situation in one way or another.

What RS5 is right now is an incomplete (not "under development") gamemode, with many vital scripts and features not loaded, and lots of bugs, which produces discontent from all sectors. Yet a good example of using it positively would be R.I.O.N. (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103769.0), where players channel their grievances and discontent about the current situation into a constructive manner.

But once those are fixed and the gamemode is adapted better to the needs of the players, that is where the potential of RS5 will shine, where its superiority to RS4 will show, and where [more] players will come back.

In the meantime, we need to keep playing and / or proposing solutions, so we will reach our end goal. Those who decide to do nothing but bitch are not contributing to that.

A game is supposed to be fun, for a RPG you need to invest time and effort to get to the point where you have money to achieve said fun, to have it taken away from you isn't fun or fair, but I don't understand why people are still complaining, don't like changes and don't want to adapt?

Well, I and also Some people(Not sure :p) like the server except one thing(Not permenant), are bugs, which will be solved as well soon(They can not solve the bugs in just 1 second, they need time).

New people, old people left, how is that a good thing, a community has history, history that can't be shared through new people, and jesus I mean you are a new person. If it weren't for older people than new players wouldn't know how to act and we would hit a point of anarchy. but than again players who have been here for countless years don't actually give a damn, if SAMP blows there is still VCMP, MTA SA, IVMP, Minecraft, SAMP Stunt. Oh and "Why blame it on the scripters" Because the game mode was scripted by magical peanuts shat out of the mother tree.

I'ts like logging on to a graveyard in there... Hope this wont lead to the demise of SA:MP Argo. Keep the hopes up and report those bugs!
SAMP is going the VCMP road, tumbling down hill faster than a rolling boulder off a mountain, ofcourse that rock will hit a point where it still has a active community that consists of 5-10 players. And Aristotle, there aren't a lot of people playing SAMP, nobody new into gaming will go "Woah I should totally play a 10 year old game" look towards the future, GTA V, DayZ, Rust.

This server started going down hill ever since the regular player base was catered for less and less at around early 2010. Role-play - I mean actual role-play, not implied through a script role-play, became an afterthought and it was all about how many scripts could be made to please server aesthetics and trigger happy bunny hoppers, you know, the random SA:MP server scrolling kiddies.

The glory days were back when admins catered to role-play events and the ARPD had role-players in command, as soon as the focus turned to chasing orange dots for that cash pay-out, a community similar to that which is seen in Call of Duty was created; it was all about that kill and getting the high score, be it as a family or as a cop. I will refer to these as trigger-kids during this.

So slowly the dedicated regular role-players were churned and forced out of their positions by the trigger-kids, hostage situations were impossible to negotiate, the role-play was slowly watered down until it became all about "give me your money or i'll kill you", but I'm not even talking about a role-played mugging for cash, I'm talking about people getting so wrapped up in it that actual anger and actual intensity behind the attacks fueled the motives.

The ARPD similarly had people looking for the best way to kill suspects coming in and as a result? The SWAT I had founded was molested in to some sort of Nazi-regime kill squad, for those of you who know him Ben Samiir is prime suspect for being the leading trigger-kid in that turn of police generation, similarly this was seen in a lot of the new ARPD commanders and before long I had just lost respect for so many people, especially those that were allowing it to happen, for a time me and a few others tried very hard to fight it but the new admin trigger-kids (even Ben was made an admin can you believe?) were whispering sweet nothings that ensured their security.

We were told "you're old news, old SWAT and old ARPD isn't needed any more, you're out-dated". Can you believe the most organized thing the ARPD does now is drive a column of squad cars around? Lol, in comparison to what they used to be? Man there was some impressive stuff. The role-play was so well catered for that entire riots could be role-played out and the police wouldn't steam in and fire in M4s and uzis getting their $$$ in, it'd be riot formations and tactics, arrests and so on;

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/JinLo/sa-mp-171.png)
Batons at the ready.

SWAT team deployed to a truck that couldn't stop due to a bomb that would of set off on it if it did, SWAT deployed an operative ON TO the truck and successfully defused it;
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/JinLo/sa-mp-036.png)

A typical hostage scene, not like your rammed-out blockades and gun shots everywhere of today;
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/JinLo/sa-mp-032.png)

The team was a legend, the Mafia families created such incredible role-play, even the standard cop force was top notch; 80%+ used Teamspeak, spread out over radio channels to properly communicate the situations and people LOVED it. Though that was all dropped with new scripts and new ideas, the server leaders wanted everything to be open to everybody with-out any effort.

Before long it became TDM. Every time I logged on to the server, every couple of months or so I'd see it getting worse and worse; admins where on their knees to please new players and Gandalf and Aragorn were lapping up the player count so busily that they couldn't of been caring any less as to the effect it was having on the regular founding community.

So it continued, and continued and continues - building more and more scripts, quickly, hurriedly to please the new community monsters you created, until finally it caught up and bit you in the ass. I could of said "I told you so" but some how it doesn't seem like it would cut it.

I'm just glad for the awesome memories I have from the time when it was about role-play and not about the cash trigger-kiddies script and community that's circling around now-a-days. Does it leave me bitter? Yeah it does, it wasn't nice watching the server I loved turned in to an abomination of what it once was.

Maybe this will be a wake up call to the server owners or maybe this will be its death. Either way? Was bound to happen some day.

This server started going down hill ever since the regular player base was catered for less and less at around early 2010. Role-play - I mean actual role-play, not implied through a script role-play, became an afterthought and it was all about how many scripts could be made to please server aesthetics and trigger happy bunny hoppers, you know, the random SA:MP server scrolling kiddies.

The glory days were back when admins catered to role-play events and the ARPD had role-players in command, as soon as the focus turned to chasing orange dots for that cash pay-out, a community similar to that which is seen in Call of Duty was created; it was all about that kill and getting the high score, be it as a family or as a cop. I will refer to these as trigger-kids during this.

So slowly the dedicated regular role-players were churned and forced out of their positions by the trigger-kids, hostage situations were impossible to negotiate, the role-play was slowly watered down until it became all about "give me your money or i'll kill you", but I'm not even talking about a role-played mugging for cash, I'm talking about people getting so wrapped up in it that actual anger and actual intensity behind the attacks fueled the motives.

The ARPD similarly had people looking for the best way to kill suspects coming in and as a result? The SWAT I had founded was molested in to some sort of Nazi-regime kill squad, for those of you who know him Ben Samiir is prime suspect for being the leading trigger-kid in that turn of police generation, similarly this was seen in a lot of the new ARPD commanders and before long I had just lost respect for so many people, especially those that were allowing it to happen, for a time me and a few others tried very hard to fight it but the new admin trigger-kids (even Ben was made an admin can you believe?) were whispering sweet nothings that ensured their security.

We were told "you're old news, old SWAT and old ARPD isn't needed any more, you're out-dated". Can you believe the most organized thing the ARPD does now is drive a column of squad cars around? Lol, in comparison to what they used to be? Man there was some impressive stuff. The role-play was so well catered for that entire riots could be role-played out and the police wouldn't steam in and fire in M4s and uzis getting their $$$ in, it'd be riot formations and tactics, arrests and so on;

Though that was all dropped with new scripts and new ideas, the server leaders wanted everything to be open to everybody with-out any effort.

It's possible, but not easy. In order to re-establish such roleplay you need to lower the levels of gamification on the server and setup player wide awareness to roleplay and learn. This is however not possible with scripts or police tests, only with the work of the players themselves.
The problem right now is that the system is only as strong as it's weakest link, and right now the link's pretty weak (Note that i am not referring to new players, if anything, quite the contrary. Nowadays i've found the older members of the community to be more trigger happy). In order to recreate such conditions of roleplay, we need to encourage it among the community and make roleplay-less action a frowned upon act, and take away the damn textbook style answers to things like kidnappings.

This doesn't mean the criminal community is without blame, this part i have witnessed personally being the leader of Ancelotti. Criminals nowadays are also looking for quick flicks with guns blazing, only a few people care about such roleplays. The only solution is the same one as i proposed for the cops. Such action needs to be frowned upon in favor of nice roleplays. This means to train every weak link and leave out nobody, and stage large roleplays like the ones in the past.
While i can't guarantee it's success or failure, i can guarantee you that we will definitely make an effort towards this goal.

@ James Hunter - Great post and I agree completely. SWAT became DM squad during Samiirs leadership and it was for certain time after, when all they did was chase people with Buffalos causing even more harm than criminals they were after with their Rambo approach.

Although afterwards there were attempts of recreating SWAT or SRU not sure anymore, they RP'ed well and stuff, too bad I lost pictures of a RP in which I surrendered after they breached into my penthouse back in 2011/12 not sure.

Also since I joined Argonath I've seen hundredes families and gangs come and go, most of them were into pure DM and nothing more. But at the end it's all about how well you control your members. Without any doubt offical families were offical for reason. Offical families offered higher level of RP than 95 percent of every family founded and closed over last four years, few exceptions are great RPing groups such as Angels of Death, Los Diablos, Conecta.. and few others.

The 2010 and 2011 were without doubt best years I've spent on Argonath. The quality RP's afterwards were done mostly between offical groups and dozen remaining quality officers. I myself almost left somewhere in 2012 when it all looked like freeroam, TDM but then I realized I must encricle myself with certain groups and players who are interested and good in RP.

@James Hunter - The legend has spoken. I've been in the SAPD aswell for a good ammount of my time being a part of Argonath, and I've heard alot about you, even if you werent around that time. Its unfortunate that the server is what it is today, and I miss the times where the ARPD was an active group where we would stick on teamspeak daily and have an enjoyable fun time. But it is what it is, and I hope to see a good change any time soon.

long post

Despite the fact that I wasn't lucky enough to be playing at those times I do understand what you are talking about .
I joined in middle 2011 and I have seen the RP gradually falling .

Now from what i am thinking getting back to RS4 or even RS3 won't change anything at all . Why?
Because first of all I believe most of the players that left coz of RS5 simply won't return and even if they do.
The things are not going to be any better than now .
Unfortunatelly I do not know how things can change , but I do think that someone should lead this movement and that someone should be from the Administration so that people do actually follow him easier .
Also the lone individuals cannot really affect that much the RP in the server.
The SAPD Command and the most active groups are responsible for that . If every single official/active group (considering SAPD and FBI , etc too) gets a higher RP standard then the rest of the server will follow .

The thing is , do those groups want to make a change, or not?

Unlike what those with eyes full of shit see, those who are in favor of RS5 already know about the existence and extent of the problems, which is why they work to help the situation in one way or another.

What RS5 is right now is an incomplete (not "under development") gamemode, with many vital scripts and features not loaded, and lots of bugs, which produces discontent from all sectors. Yet a good example of using it positively would be R.I.O.N. (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=103769.0), where players channel their grievances and discontent about the current situation into a constructive manner.

But once those are fixed and the gamemode is adapted better to the needs of the players, that is where the potential of RS5 will shine, where its superiority to RS4 will show, and where [more] players will come back.

In the meantime, we need to keep playing and / or proposing solutions, so we will reach our end goal. Those who decide to do nothing but bitch are not contributing to that.
You're the one who has shit in his eyes, you keep saying to people that they are not helping the community and you are. The community or at least a larger part of it wants RS4 not RS5. The people who keep asking for RS4 actually want to HELP the community and the server not the opposite. On the other hand you keep on saying that its better and it needs to stay, aren't you the one who isn't helping at all and just is making the situation which is shitty even more shitty? And if i'm wrong and RS5 at the end becomes better than RS4, than obviously thats good and then it should stay, however you are right that it is currently incomplete and maybe its potential will shine. But that is yet to be seen.

Reverting to RS4 is not going to help the community, it may actually cause a lot of differences within the HQ. Read this carefully to understand what I am trying to say.
 
Reverting back to RS4 is not a solution. You don't know how much of their spare time have the scripters used to create RS5. If you feel that the scripts are complicated, then think how complicated making the scripts would be.

Reverting back to rs4 would basically mean telling the developers to take their two years of hard work and shove it up their ass, that is disrespecting their contribution the community. They have used their spare time to create a game mode for a gaming community. If their work is scraped, think how would they feel. Basically, they will feel that they have wasted a considerable amount of time on a game for nothing..

 
The scripters would be happy if you actually help them making rs5 easier as that would give them a sense of relief that their work has not gone in vain.

I agree with this. Seriously, you guys who want RS4 back are ungrateful bastards. Scripters worked their asses off for free, wasting their precious two years on making a gamemode for all of us. They dedicated two years in their life for a gaming community, and i'm pretty sure these years could have been spent a lot better than that, yet you guys want to tell them to take RS5, take these two years of work and go f... themselves in the asses with it. If I were a scripter, after such a spit to the face, i'd certainly leave the position and encourage all the other scripters to do the same, so you can be stuck in the same, old, buggy, crashy and boring RS4 that you want so much without any further updates and fixes. Learn to appreciate what you have instead of complaining and whining. Gosh, Argonath IS AFRAID OF CHANGE, but now I realised it is not the server owners who are, it's the players who prevent the change from happening.

*The truth that I wouldnt have the balls to say

James is right, that is a huge problem ,though it can't be blamed on the gamemode. People will remain whinish DMERS regardless what gamemode they're on. It's the peoples mentality we need to change, not the gamemode. RS5 would be better than RS4 roleplay wise, it simply needs few very uneccesary and restricting features removed, such as pickpocket (That's a cops and robbers feature, I've no idea how HQ even approved such script), jurisdriction, or atleast make it unforced (The script assigns you to LV even though it's empty and there is no need to patrol it), the whole non-sense and uneccesary and complicated economy redone - there is no need for wallets and various funds. They're just making players confused, and the group script removal -  this script comes from the serious RP servers, where it's reffered to as faction system. It really doesnt fit Argonath.

A contradictory statement in itself. Developers have made it clear that properties in RS4 will not be returned, and that even on the second "RS4 Server" (supposing somebody actually steps up and takes Gandalf's challenge), people will start from scratch.

But that is yet to be seen.

Then as early as now, I will state that you are wRONg.

The moaners who keep whining "RS5 sucks, we must return to RS4" are the ones who are not helping the community. Instead of helping developers (and other players) improve the new gamemode, they want the server to regress instead of progress.

Instead of giving a single bit of thanks for all the hard work (with zero pay and compensation; not even Division Leaders get free money for their personal accounts) that they put into making a more advanced gamemode, they shit all over innovation and send developers the message that all their hard work is nothing but a waste, a failure.

I don't make allegations, I state facts. Like others who have actually been contributing, I do the same by playing (and even starting a project to bring back events). Aside from shitting developers' work, how have you been useful to this community? So unless you can back up your statements, don't try turning my own comments on me as that does not work.



As for the group scripts, I have to object. Their purpose is not to create the group itself, but to make existing groups easier to manage. These are not from prison-RLRP servers, but merely an advancement of our own; Argonath had been using scripts designed for groups since the MTA:VC days, in the form of group/clan protection. Unless HQ decrees otherwise, groups are free not to use them if they do not want to.

And as for James Hunter's post, I may not agree with the way of phrasing some things (although I agree on the degeneration of groups such as in Ben_Samiir's case), but I agree on one major point.

The problems in the current situation are not the fault of the HQ alone, but of the players. All sectors had a part in its making, so we cannot point the finger at anyone in particular. This means that to solve the problem, all sides will have to cooperate as well; HQ-implemented solutions will be useless if players do not go along and decide to contribute to the problem instead.

I agree with what you have said but the truth is more players want RS4 rather than keep RS5 and there is no solution to that unless RS5 improves and other players join. As i type this there are 27 players online, that doesn't sound like much but its a improvement. I loved Argonath but unless it improves i won't play on the RS5 server. You asked what did i do to help, i played... a lot. And i had no intention to "turn your comments against you".

The "majority" is not always right. In fact, most of the problems created here that cannot be solved by any one person or sector, are a product of the "majority".

If you want a brilliant example, look at how many people managed to cause fuck-ups over the last few years' Oscars.

Every time I logged on to the server, every couple of months or so I'd see it getting worse and worse; admins where on their knees to please new players and Gandalf and Aragorn were lapping up the player count so busily that they couldn't of been caring any less as to the effect it was having on the regular founding community.

So it continued, and continued and continues - building more and more scripts, quickly, hurriedly to please the new community monsters you created, until finally it caught up and bit you in the ass. I could of said "I told you so" but some how it doesn't seem like it would cut it.

I'm just glad for the awesome memories I have from the time when it was about role-play and not about the cash trigger-kiddies script and community that's circling around now-a-days. Does it leave me bitter? Yeah it does, it wasn't nice watching the server I loved turned in to an abomination of what it once was.

Maybe this will be a wake up call to the server owners or maybe this will be its death. Either way? Was bound to happen some day.

Respect for this man right here, he has been a rolemodel throughout Argonath and knows what he's talking about.

As I have been distancing myself from this community due to this, I am still in shock with the fact that this topic is still ongoing.

Although the statistics are right in front of them, the 'heirachy' are just too arrogant. As much as we want RS4 back, it will not happen.

Oh how much I miss Argonath back in 2009..

So if you agree with him simply means that you also love to play the oldestserver, RS2. You missed RS3, RS4? Why RS2. I meant that RS4 is better than RS5 and now the topic has been moved to RS2 - RS5.  :D Didn't it is? By the way, Enjoy your RS2.

Same here. Every helping hand has been turned down so far.

If I remember correctly, management of SA:MP RPG scripters and developers is currently under the jurisdiction of xcasio. (in the absence of Gandalf)

Yet, remember also that the ability to script is not the only factor in selecting a dev, just as the ability to use /warn /kick /ban is not the only factor in selecting an admin.



RS5 is an innovative system with a flawed implementation. Once the flaws are removed and the implementation smoothened, then the system can shine at its full potential.

For those who are asking for a return to RS4 (you just don't get it, do you), if you still do not understand why it is not coming back, let's have a little recap of some of the reasons:

1. RS5 is the result of years of developers' hard work (and player ideas), with zero compensation. (don't dispute this point if you have not stepped in the shoes of an Argonath admin/dev)

2. RS4 being returned would be a huge "fuck you" to everyone (not just devs) who worked on RS5, and to their work. (don't dispute this point if you know shit-all about what work goes into making a server)

3. RS4 managed to survive for nearly 5 years, but even that is already too long for a single gamemode, which resulted in Argonath lagging in innovation. (don't dispute this point if you do not know what innovations Argonath has produced in the past)

4. RS4 is an outdated gamemode, gameplay-wise (in some aspects) and design-wise, and returning to it would be regression, not progress. (don't dispute this point if you ever accused players like myself of holding back progress)

5. RS4 was written and added to by several developers with widely varying scripting styles and over several years instead of a streamlined base, resulting in poor cohesiveness of design. This makes it hard to maintain and/or update a gamemode. (don't dispute this point if you know shit-all about programming)

6. RS4 has outdated file handling, while RS5's databases would not need any major reset for the next 5-10 years. (don't dispute this point if you know shit-all about how file handling can contribute to a server)

7. RS4 had poor support (if any) for factions, literally one of the most important parts of the playerbase. (don't dispute this point if you know shit-all what support groups are / can receive in RS5)

8. RS4 had to give way to RS5 earlier than planned due to circumstances outside of the devs' control, the alternative would have been making players suffer two losses instead of only one. (don't dispute this point if you can't read News and Announcements or update yourself on current affairs properly)

9. RS4, gameplay-wise, was poor at balancing some aspects of the gameplay that went out of control. (i.e: economy, if there was actually one) RS5, meanwhile, has the potential to make needed corrections and changes due to its idea framework.

10. No one stepped up to Gandalf's challenge. Moaners are all talk and quick to point fingers, but no action when they are challenged to do something. In case you are wondering why paying for a second server would be justifiable, remember the nine reasons stated above for RS5's implementation in the first server.

If that is still not understandable enough for you, I would explain it in simple english. Except that due to the persistence of moaners, I couldn't be arsed; just copy-paste it to Wikipedia and ask someone to create a Simple Wikipedia (http://www.simple.wikipedia.org/) version.

RS5 is here, and it is here to stay. The problem with moaners is that they will moan regardless of the scenario, regardless of what changers developers (do not) implement. Argonath developers do their work for those who will stay and remain loyal to this community, not those who will leave. It's not about arrogance, but knowing how to adapt to changes and having a little fucking gratitude in your bones.

The scripts need change and fixing. But if there is one more thing that needs fixing, it is the f**ked-up mentality of some players who are quick to moan and shit on anyone who does not agree with their self-gain based attitude: the problem that caused some aspects of this community to go downhill after the 2009-2011 years.

If you will accuse me or other "pro-RS5" players of asslicking, then you can take your accusation and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine. I myself am a critic of RS5's implementation. But unlike some others, I am one of those who actually know how to genuinely respect and appreciate the effort that people put into this community to make your gameplay possible.

Now if you do not bother to contribute to this community and its improvement, you have no right to complain about what will (not) happen. Step up, or shut up.

Devin is doing everything he can, but the development team has their own management. Jones and Conroy are working hard though, from what I know.

In the meantime, please see his Thoughts and Suggestions topic in this board.

We can do so much, but there are limits too. Although even non-staff can contribute; Project:ARISE, which I started, has already launched two events which generated more fun for players (as regular events disappeared post-RS4) and is set to launch many more. You were there. Others can contribute in their own way too.

SA:MP RPG is not the only one waiting on Gandalf; SA:MP Stunt is literally frozen to death until he returns.

Pure bullshit? Learn the difference between implementation and design.

A well-designed idea with a poor implementation can shine in the best manner once its implementation is optimized. A poorly-designed idea, on the other hand, will be limited by the basic flaws of its design regardless of how you try to implement it. With good implementation, among those two the former will always shine.

From the way you speak, I won't be surprised if you don't have any of the following:

- Proper project management experience (not just Argo-wise), which includes with the stress of translating a shitload of ideas from paper to carrying them out and making sure that goes smoothly.
- Proper knowledge of programming.
- Proper critical thinking, which includes being able to dissect the matter at hand and analyze it from several perspectives regardless of your personal views.

Of those three, you don't need stellar credentials, or even a formal education for the last one.

Easy for you to sit back and point fingers while you've barely contributed anything (if at all). Now what have you done for this community recently, aside from getting banned for trolling and shitting (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=104125.msg1656215#msg1656215), pray tell?

And honestly, I didn't expect you to criticize RS5. You've always liked anything the owners decided to do, maybe someone never told you, but you can have your own opinion. Gandalf is not gonna be mad on you, bro.

I do have my own opinion, hence why I do not give two fucks about what the moaners think. I could explain about how I've had disagreements with all levels of staff, from moderators up to Gandalf (both in my time as admin and non-admin), but those who are too closed-minded to comprehend that would not understand it anyway, so might as well save the effort.

That's how much people still care. It's taking days to get a server back up, I'm not blaming Gandalf for this. But at least someone else should be able to get the server back running. Now it just looks like no-one cares...

In Stunt's case, not even caion, Kent, or Steven can restart reboot it, but only Gandalf. Stunt is not down because no one cares, but becaus Gandalf is currently inactive. Unfortunate, but true.

That is the problem: Nobody knows, and it is affecting us all.

Remember that those moaners are the players. Still, you do mind their opinions by replying to them hence why they throw shit back at you, even now that you are just another normal member of this community like them, besides the attitude and thoughts of each of us, we are all the same here.

In the last part, you forgot to add the actions to the differences. That is what separates doers from those who are nothing but talk.

The moaners are players, but they are not the players. There is a difference between healthy complaints and criticism made for the purpose of improvement, and useless whining that leads to nothing productive. Moaners are those who devote themselves to the latter.

Before you talk about being nice to them, think of how you would feel if you worked hard to build a house, and someone walked in and did nothing but tell you about how shit everything you did was, instead of telling you where you could improve.

As for "normal players", I see no need to compromise my honesty based on rank. I'm not sure about others, but JDC is defined by who he is and what he does, and not by what position he holds. I'd pretty much like to think anyone else who is reasonable would hold themselves to the same ethic; ranks can be given and taken away, but your personality will stay.



Yes, I'm tired of the "We can't do anything because Gandalf needs the last word". Well step the f**k up and do it since he can't be here all the time and if he asks why just tell it's for the community.

This is exactly the reason why Community Leaders, Division Leaders, and Managers were appointed: so that there will be someone to run things if the Owner is away.

But putting things into perspective, the community cannot rest on those safeguards and work 100% fine without the presence of its Owner, the head leader who guides players, admins, and HQ alike. Look at how things are going now; half of the administration and HQ are inactive, Devin is swamped with administrative / management matters, and Jones/Conroy are the only developers making their presence actively felt.

As the administration and HQ are both sectors of their own too, they too can be affected by issues just like us (the players). All of us can do our part and contribute our best, but if there is no presence at the top of the chain, the cycle cannot work completely.

But neither will if those at the lower parts decide to bail out because times got a little tough.



>realizes that hes losing argument
>personal attack will do it, yes, definitely

This is even funnier because it was you who started ad hominem posting.

But I've had enough fun for today. I don't see people like you, who do not do anything productive for this community, as worth the time and effort of explaining what I did to help make things better. If I ever do feel like proving that I contributed definitely more than someone who can't even keep himself out of SA:MP Unban Requests, then be careful what you wish for as you just might get the answer you wanted.

P.S: You might want to invest in a mirror before you throw your criticisms, as you could not even answer my simple question on the last page.



Low.

Even if there are some lines I won't cross, I like to base my treatment of people on their own treatment of others. If they do not like what they are seeing, then some self-reflection would do them good.

They were perfectly able to restart it on their Dutch host over which Phil and Caion had full control since september. Ever since it was moved back to the main "official" host, the server has been plagued with downtime.

Unfortunately. To add, I am guessing they do not have full control and/or tools on the main host, otherwise the error caused by a bugged recursive script would have long been dealt with already.



And what counts as contributing community?

Playing on server, injecting into the (massively lacking as of now) economy, helping others have fun, proposing improvements and fixes instead of just whining, spearheading events that everyone can enjoy, showing appreciation for the work of those who do their best so you can play, among many others.

Each and every one of those mentioned above is a contribution to the SA:MP community... not getting banned from server for treating others like shit and attacking the developers' work on the forum.

That's the damn point, I told a guy "rule #37, no jokes on Argonath" and got a ban for trolling and things.

Popping around to shit on something you don't even contribute to only makes you stupid and ungrateful.

If you intend to continue the in-game shitting on the forum instead, then remember that division leaders can also have you removed from the forum.

I do not wish to show any disrespect and I've only read like 1% of the posts in this topic still I would like to commend on this one.

Now it is a simple question. Why don't we know what is going on with "our owner"?

I don't wish to shit on anybody but even I leave a message to the groups that I am part before going inactive. And I am not an owner, neither will a server get fucked up because I am not here.

Because those people were not contributing anyway.

You might want to do a double-take as to what board you are in right now. You would also want to do a double-take of the rules and find out where insulting the developers' work falls under.

RS5 is the work of volunteer devs with contributions from admins and players who helped. What I find to be such a piss-off is people like you making senseless claims such as it being "pure bullshit", which are huge insults to every single one of those who helped. So please, don't lie to us by saying you are not shitting anyone.



Now it is a simple question. Why don't we know what is going on with "our owner"?

The answer would be because he is not telling us. Rather, the more important question would be "What is going on with 'our owner'?" ("our" in the sense that he is a leader and father figure to the players)

Now that is one question I am sure many of us would love to know the answer to.

I beg to differ.

...telling them that the game mode is good, that they will get players and things like that while knowing that it's pure bullshit.

And on this too:

but your posts that are saying how their work is completely done and things like that.

RS5 is an innovative system with a flawed implementation. Once the flaws are removed and the implementation smoothened, then the system can shine at its full potential.
...
The scripts need change and fixing.
Everything in this post (click for full version) (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=104051.msg1654647#msg1654647)
What RS5 is right now is an incomplete (not "under development") gamemode, with many vital scripts and features not loaded, and lots of bugs, which produces discontent from all sectors.
I was one of those who were quick to acknowledge and point out flaws in RS5
I am certain everyone here (including me, for those who would assume otherwise) agrees that RS5 is in need of improvement

These are from the month of Feburary alone. If you want more of my posts that can debunk your claim that I'm touting RS5 as perfect and completed, feel free to dig back even further.



Does Gandalf have to know why are you going to be inactive or why were you inactive?

Things are different with Gandalf, as he is an Owner. Even more so, the last active remaining Owner. At least when both Aragorn and him were still around, one could go inactive for some time and still have the other around to do things that needed an Owner to do. Even if someone owns the community and enjoy the power of having your word as law, they still have the responsibility of running it.

The fact is that the absence has affected all of us, and we need him back. So if anyone here can give us an answer as to the reasons behind Gandalf's absence, please do so.

Very wrong post man. He is the one in charge for a community, neither me or ManoliLc have such a big impact to anyone.

Despite all of those.
First of all it actually is his right to just go inactive and don't talk about it to anyone. From the other-side it is also unacceptable for the owner of a community in our size to go inactive without even notifying us, one should actually be put in charge during his absence.

I did not want to share this as it was a personal message for a reason, but jesus christ people, gandalf is aware of people not wanting to play.


Neither the community, nor I am going anywhere. 2014 is the year we will start launching our own stuff that nobody will be able to rip off. MTA:VC has died, it seems SAMP in general is not doing too well and going the way of VCMP.
So we will need to find what people are playing together today and go in to that. We are not needing to stat stuck in one type of game or server, we simply will add that where people are already.

Regards,

Gandalf

What situation? it's the player base's fault, you don't want to log into the server and cry that others don't, nobody will join a server with 1 person online, join and there will be 2, someone will see your name and there will be 3, somehow 30 after a while, going "meh nobody is playing anyway" isn't helping either. This "worst case scenario" is being caused by the playerbase, they decided not to play, so how do you save the server? Play the god damn server, and new people will join.. it's really that simple.

Well what we have here is that many regulars left after their accounts got deleted together with their beloved belongings. And as chain reaction some of those who didn't care about cash left simply because their friends were gone elsewhere.

Since economy is dead and cash is hard to earn people easily give up, I know at least ten people who are just not motivated and bitter about the whole situation. Yes you can RP stuff without money too but people love their fancy toys and huge houses.. hell who doesn't. Money needs to be injected somehow, people won't work for months to regain something they already had.

By the way what happened to loan system that was most mentioned way of making the whole restart for regulars easier?

Let's get this straight, we both know that there are actually not so many important bugs out there. The most important bug outther that I have faced is when the chat script goes crazy, other than that everything else simply has no big meaning for the players.

Now instead of throwing accusations of why people don't play. Start to think about how to create reasons for the people to start playing again.

And yes it is about time we stop this f**king conversation, half of the people that post 24/7 here do not even log once a week in the server. Want to help? PLAY and THINK

No one needs to "calm my tits". I am more calm now than ever before. Someone has to look themselves in the mirror because Argonath SA:MP has died, for some reason. You don't abandon a stable part of the community just when the flow drops. It has been the real spirit since I dunno when. And for some serious reason there are no players there anymore. I will rewrite what I wrote a couple of twenty pages back.

Our prominent player base with veterans, splendid roleplayers and excellent writers had already gone missing before RS5 turned public and widely open.

Argonath has always lacked the most important part of a roleplay server, yet some people has been patient enough to stay, and one another has already left a long time ago. The list can be made long and most importantly, it can be made by heavy names and incredible individuals, which has also led to this turning slingshot of Argonath's existence. The names were never replaced; not even by close. It left a vicious hole and also a gap between now and then. The players are after all the prime ingredient of it, and by having quite some large quantities abandoning an already necessitous server is with no doubts a hard rock to lift.

And the delicacy with the community has always been the forum, and if you compare it now to two- three years ago, the activity has decreased a lot. The removal of RS4 and the beginning of RS5 has only been a perfect time to actually wave good bye to something that once was something absolutely astonishing for us.

With this said, I don't think it will matter that much if Argonath will return to RS4. It is what it is and it is being thereafter. I like RS5 and I think it's a great scripted version with much heart and excellent visions. Unfortunately, I do not think it will ever bloom out to the way it was meant to do. And that's pretty much it.

Argonath has always lacked the most important part of a roleplay server

Pray tell, what would this be?

Also, are you basing this comparison on other "roleplay" servers? (nearly all of which are realistic or prison-RLRP servers)

One thing I have seen in Argonath is that ever since its inception, it has offered a community charm that many have tried to imitate, but were never able to duplicate, including but not limited to the following:

- Basing of roleplay on standards of creativity and imagination, rather than scripts and script tools
- Not limiting players in roleplay to "rules" set up by people who do not have brains to know whether something in /L refers to RP scenario or real life
- Welcoming new players with open arms, rather than discriminating on and ostracizing them
- Choosing admins on reliability and trustworthiness, rather than tenure or ability to pay
- Being able to moan without having all posts 100% hidden, which other communities do to make it look like nothing is wrong (in which case a topic like this will NEVER have a chance of existing)

I may be misunderstanding your intent or not, but some clarification would be nice.

Argonath has been lacking roleplay throughout the years. And that's the truth.
It doesn't even matter how hard you try to defend it, because you can't. It is what it is.

Also, are you basing this comparison on other "roleplay" servers? (nearly all of which are realistic or prison-RLRP servers)
Well, I do. Since most of these servers has the highest amount of good quality roleplay. And no, it isn't always about being super-serious and strict on these servers, it does actually happen weird events and roleplays there as well.  :) Been playing quite much on one of them in my previous years. Roleplay is top notch, community not so good.

- Basing of roleplay on standards of creativity and imagination, rather than scripts and script tools
- Not limiting players in roleplay to "rules" set up by people who do not have brains to know whether something in /L refers to RP scenario or real life
Rules or not, the whole point with my previous reply was not to start a war between RLRP and Argonath once again, it was to actually show my honest opinion of why I actually think the community is spreading sideways and not at the same direction. Argonath has always been a powerful and astonishing community, hence its transcendence. But without proper roleplay, the community will be hurt; and that's exactly what has happened.

Three good points indeed. But how does this effect the roleplay? It doesn't.



After all, we all came to Argonath because we found it interesting with roleplay. The community and the big warm heart was just one big bonus and got us all pretty caught to the heat and its passion. Nevertheless, most of the good roleplayers we actually had here, doesn't-matter-which-style, has left the server and the community to meet new faces and new challenges. Those who are left are mostly inactive or just on the forum to keep their activity level and themselves up. What is being left behind is the bunny-hoping cop killaz, who has no intention of making Argonath a better place; just to screw around and be a bunch of total cherries, and a cop force whose roleplay level has decreased enormously.

Wrong steps were taken in the past, kicking on the one's who actually tried to roleplay here, giving the carelessly the space and right to do whatever they want on Argonath. Breaking rules, doing bad shit all over, continuing to spread a negative atmosphere, destroying the heart and small amount of roleplay being left behind. It's sad. It is really.

Wrong steps were taken in the past, kicking on the one's who actually tried to roleplay here, giving the carelessly the space and right to do whatever they want on Argonath. Breaking rules, doing bad shit all over, continuing to spread a negative atmosphere, destroying the heart and small amount of roleplay being left behind. It's sad. It is really.

This is so true,  :app: :app: :app: :app: :app:

if you bring on problems and no solutions you aren't helping anyone.

if you bring on problems and no solutions you aren't helping anyone.
I've spent more time than most of the people doing groups, roleplays and scenarios to benefit the server, helping new players to become really good roleplayers. Doesn't really matter what you do because the cop killaz has always had more room to keep on doing their shit to ruin it all for everyone else. All groups I had or made died because of the boredom of roleplaying alone, with every other group around the city doing nothing else but shooting and doing non-creative activities. That's the difference between the other server I used to play on, with 400 players online as we speak and Argonath with.. 10 players, with at least five who's AFK. And everything that is put on the table is that how shitty and bad that is, and the players there are, instead of actually see what they're doing to keep their players, community and activity rate so high, keeping the standard good and quantity of roleplay to the maximum with only a pretty basic script that is.

I don't wanna compare servers and stuff because that's totally wrong, but I think you get my point. I'm talking and comparing of the wellness of this community, after all I do own my own company and run an association as well. With that being said, the best way of getting something a lot better is to listen to people who has ideas, opinions and creativity. That's worth millions. Something that hasn't been done in the large amount it should've been.

It isn't too late, but it will never happen because people are too proud to face the real issues and save the heart of the community. Just like in a couple of posts, an individual, who has been around long enough will comment like "If you don't like it, leave" or "we don't listen to the majority" something like that. I mean, come on. Which part of the brain are you actually missing? The we and them-argument is cold dead and the ignorance of listening to people is just immature and dumb.

I mean you were there 5 years ago Que.. you even replied to the topic, you know it's been going down hill since forever, just realize it will eventually die, deal with it and let it burn in front of your eyes, it has been fun on this side for me thus far..
I have dealt with it. I'm not even playing anymore. I am on the forum just like everyone else because I like to write on English and enjoy one or two topics nowadays. It is just sad how things turned out when people even mentioned it, like you said, five years ago. It shocks me that people are surprised over this.



And at last.
Did you think a script would nail it all? You think that changing back to RS4 will save what has been? The good job they've done on RS5 is a piss in the lake because the ignorance of listening to people with ideas, thoughts and ambition. Give the hard working scripters the credit and help they deserve by listening to people who wants to save the community. Not by letting the cop killaz and the old junks of free cops getting their freedom of death matching all over. Focus on the roleplay, for once.

Saying that there are no players would be kind of false. In the evenings it usually gets to 30-40 - just as much as there was on RS4 in the afternoons.
I don't know why people are so proud to say that there are 30-40 players on the server (not to mention only sometimes) when we had much more in RS4. I wonder what RS4 you're talking about, because the one I know usually had over 100 players on...

A lot of those people who have supported RS5 from the beginning need to just come down and accept the fact that we're losing/lost players, and it's not because of "exams".

Antonio got a point.

How long has it been since release 2-3 months? I've been playing every day and I've been trying to keep the spirit it up but I can't do that anymore and I guess I'm not the only one.

The few remaining scripters are doing a great job (especially you Jones) but you need to realize that the server won't survive with around 1 scripter. Let players that know how to script and that want to help do it. It won't hurt you to try.

Also, are you basing this comparison on other "roleplay" servers? (nearly all of which are realistic or prison-RLRP servers)

Well, I do. Since most of these servers has the highest amount of good quality roleplay. And no, it isn't always about being super-serious and strict on these servers, it does actually happen weird events and roleplays there as well.  :) Been playing quite much on one of them in my previous years. Roleplay is top notch, community not so good.
Rules or not, the whole point with my previous reply was not to start a war between RLRP and Argonath once again, it was to actually show my honest opinion of why I actually think the community is spreading sideways and not at the same direction.

A lot of those people who have supported RS5 from the beginning need to just come down and accept the fact that we're losing/lost players, and it's not because of "exams".
I just realized something, why didn't they listen to us?
When the beta started RS5 had 100 players, 30 minutes later when people played on it it had like 20, for the next weeks it was stuck on 0, than suddenly RS4 disappears, and people disappear..
We have been dropping hints, than I think Zaila or Devin said people will get rewards if they play on the server and report bugs.. they had to bribe their playerbase to make them play..

I mean personally I said fuck it since RS4 got erased, but I see people here trying to "fight the man" and "bring back RS4" I just can't fucking comprehend how hard headed you people are.

Neither the community, nor I am going anywhere. 2014 is the year we will start launching our own stuff that nobody will be able to rip off. MTA:VC has died, it seems SAMP in general is not doing too well and going the way of VCMP.
So we will need to find what people are playing together today and go in to that. We are not needing to stat stuck in one type of game or server, we simply will add that where people are already.
Our leader thinks SAMP is dying, so why would you try to bring back RS4..

We are certainly planning to upgrade, in fact RS5 was planned anyway as the last game mode to be released for SAMP.
So someone start fucking singing "this is the end" because there will be no RS6 that fixes everything, maybe small patches here and there, but nothing uber fucking fantastic.

And last of all, people haven't been roleplaying in RS4, stop forgetting that, people crying about RP is soooo 2009, it has been going down since forever.

So now it's on the scriters how fast they can fix the bugs in RS5 to make a pleasant experience for the playerbase that if falling immensely.

wRONg.

People may see it as arrogant for anyone to state that Gandalf owes us something, but the truth of the matter is that (as the last remaining Owner after Aragorn) he does. But to phrase it more appropriately, even if he does have his life and family to look after, he has a responsibility to this community, just like anyone else in an oversight position has to their constituents. This may not take precedence over his life/family, but it does not erase the fact it is still there.

This is a form of social contract, where we (players, admins, HQ) are obligated to follow the directives of the owner/s, in exchange for the owner/s keeping the community open and afloat.

As the person who (literally) keeps the community running and the keeper of legal responsibility (which comes with the ownership) of Argonath RPG, the least he should do is inform even the HQ that/why he will be gone, and designate an Officer(s)-In-Charge who have the full authority and tools to keep things running until his return.

For SA:MP RPG, you could say this is Devin (or xcasio). However, the problem is that he (or they) do not have the full authority to implement changes that would turn this situation around; Devin's jurisdiction lies with all administrative matters (making groups official, appointing moderators, removing delinquent admins) and cannot interfere with development matters (scripting, appointment of scripters). It is xcasio who is in charge of placing scripters, and (unfortunately) we have not been seeing very much of him ever since the property system was reopened. (Update: Turns out Gimli has a lot of work; he was able to restart SA:MP though, so my apologies)

Unless all persons with the needed authority move together in the right direction, or unless all power is consolidated in / shared with one leader (who will lead ALL sides of SA:MP in Gandalf's absence, until he returns), this will continue to be a problem.

This is the unfortunate reality. I am not saying this out of the intent to create conflict or because I want to point fingers, but because all the efforts (such as the groups making a resurgence, my event initiative, new companies popping up to fill certain roles, etc) of players who want to contribute and keep this community afloat will not be enough unless the other parts of the chain can move as well.



The question of RLRP, for me, is a matter for another day/topic. Let's address the problem of the community management first.

Eeeeh what would you expect if gandalf was here as regards to the SAMP server? really?
A ton of signs throughout the past few months point to what most of us realized long ago; lack of will to fix what's broken.
They are becoming experts at looking the other way while their SAMP server is rotten more and more each day. JDC, did it go "step up, or shup up"? Seems like someone chose the latter and forgot about the stepping up part ;)

However, you have to accept that even their efforts (or that of anyone else's, for the matter) will only go so far unless others cooperate. Whether those others be players, admins, or HQ.

Not being funny, but even though I'm community ban, I will say this.

In the time that I played BOTH Servers here at Argonath, I ran multiple families and i was involved in many different situations around the server.

back in RS4 sure, Argonath did have it's problems, there were always those wankers who didn't want to do anything but copkill, but you could ALWAYS find roleplay, no matter where you were.

RS5 Came along, I played it, I tried it, and I did my best to fight for RS4 (Then got banned for recreating RS4, YOLO) but honestly, the gear reset, the new script, everything has just ruined the effort that people put in, and the reason people stop putting in effort and enthusiasm towards roleplay, is because they feel the staff & Gandalf aren't either.

I woke up about 10 minutes ago, so if you can understand my poor sleepyminded grammar, then you may have the ability to agree or disagree with my point.

recreating RS4

Regardless of the topic at hand or my stance on a matter, as someone who has seen Argonath development processes from the inside and out, I have to call bullshit on the claim that someone else aside from an Argonath developer can recreate RS4. Imitate, maybe. No one has succeeded in recreating RS4 at the Argonath level of sophistication. (the Raven's Roleplay gamemode is far below the level of a competent Argonath scripter)



The players is not the issue, the issue is the inactive hq. Creds to Devin and Jones though.

Look around you, the players are also the issue. BOTH are the issue at the moment. (minus Devin and Jones)
That is why I consistently say that the solution has to come from ALL sides of the community. The HQ may be leading it, but someone (players and admins) will have to follow.



Why do you compare simple conversation to essay?

It's not about essays. It's about your unwillingness to take in a properly explained point, and resorting to an escapist / totally negative mindset instead. Some of the moaners who didn't contribute anything have even more initiative than you.

I have proposed several changes to be made as soon as possible but as for the progress of that, I can't disclose that information.
Please just bear in mind that my position has no control over the development team.

Actually we spent 3-4 months coding a completely new one from scratch, ravens was only a temporary one, Not for advertisement purposes as i'd ban you instantly if you came, but I'll even show you if you wish.

Ask 40% of the members from here that came, it's been done, stop trying to claim it as bullshit, RS4 was an EXTREMELY Simple script.

There can't be a bad ending, everyone had their fun.. it's about the journey not the destination, everyone knows things die, it was fun while it lasted. Did you have fun? If you did you wouldn't just step away, I say I've been watching from a far seeing it burn down yet I'm every day at the forum going "FEEEX EEET". And if 30 regular players is dead to you.. well damn, still more people than can be in a GTA 5 multiplayer game. It's not dead, it's just broken, like a retarded puppy, just drooling on itself, you can help and teach him or.. you can walk away, RS5 is our retarded puppy.

Let's face it, Gandalf aint gonna be back any time soon if he's ever going to be back again, considering he's a middle-aged guy with a family and a job, while this community pretty much has no meaning in his life.

124 (54.1%) - 73 (31.9%) - 32 (14%)

Let's bring our as*es together, people. If they don't care about getting their SA:MP server to a proper state, then fine, let us act for the sake of the server we all love, even though it isn't our responsibility.

Awesomeness cost 400 Euro, they say. Divided by 124, that is just about 3 Euro each person. Some donates less, some more, little by little we will make it.
66 pages here alone + all the other topics - Are you a talker or a doer? Time to take action!

Majority of people who voted RS4 are more of talkers than doers. Expect individual cost to far exceed 3 Euro.

That is, if a substantial amount of people even want to step up to a challenge.

You can get the RS4 only if you pay for it.
Honestly, do you blame him for having doubts? I myself doubt Gandalf would bring back RS4 if that amount of cash was received.
Am I calling Gandalf a liar? Hmm, not exactly, but based on what we've seen over the past few months, it seems like he is perfectly okay with his SAMP server going down.
Its been around since 2006 afterall, he might have had enough and wants to move on. His server, his choice.

How's he okay with the servers status, when he's away? It's not like he goes away for this long without a good reason, and with a good reason I doubt he'd check up on him SA:MP server all the time. Currently, we're actually building playerbase, and player activity. People are returning, and it's getting better. Scripters and admins/management are doing a good job with the server so far, and I don't quite get where people say the server is dying, or going down hill. Sure we dropped a lot of activity, but we don't always need 150 players on a peak times to be a great community.

The point is why thinking of yesterday and there is tommorow,lets forget the past.Rs4 Was good but lets move away rs5 is the same Game.I voted for rs5,I belive the scripters,But i have an advice for them 'Please focus on the inportant bugs first like vehicles bug and quick please".Thanks for reading :)

I can assure you, they're working on bugs as the primary priority. It's most likely the fact that there's only like 2 of them, and people keep getting on their case to fix stuff. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if people were yelling at you, trying to get you to fix a bug or something similar. I know that's how I'd feel.

This.

Big changes and hopefully big help will be coming soon to the SA:MP community. Do not give up hope guys, there is still a large player base that although may not be active, is sitting around waiting for the right moment to come back and support the community it grew up on.

Keep fighting, and day by day positive change will come. I promise that.

While we're on the subject of funding for RS4, here's the real question we should be asking ourselves: are you asking for RS4 for its scripts, or for your previous possessions?

Many of you are actually complaining about RS5 for its removal of personal assets, which is why you are opting for the past. I would like to see how many people are actually willing to work with RS4, even if they start from nothing.

I make roughly around 650 US Dollars a month. I am willing to contribute a portion of my earnings to a community I am interested in, as long as I am not the only one, and that the community promises to act on its words.

I'm willing to save this community for what it's worth.

I've said time and time again; one of the best things of RS5 was the reset. If RS4 was to be brought back to light, I would most definetly vote for a full reset there as well.

Believe and fight for what you please for whatever your reasons may be. You'll always have the statistics available for you which point straight at RS4.

The people who are begging for RS4, I would ask them to stop that. As some of the players stated that they have made the server complicated. No, they have not. If you think that there are some kinds of things missing from the server, they have made a section were you can share you ideas. Maybe, they might add them in the next update.

First of all, we should thank all the scripters that they gave there valueable time to fix the bugs and other things related to the server.

How do you explain addition of wallet system or pickpocket ?
1.Addition of wallet system
-Leads to RP in no way
- Has eradicated the use of /pickpocket to 98%

2. Addition of Pick Pocket
- It leads to RP for only those interested in an RP otherwise it leads to a shootout.
- Newbies become angry if they get pick-pocketed and may lead themselves to DM or revengekilling.

Both /pickpocket and the wallets are meant for each other, as the wallet keeps money safe for /pickpocket.
/pickpocket was introduced as an easy and dirty alternative of getting money.

This is a RP server, if someone opens fire on you for no RP reason, /report him. It has been stated several times that killing someone because they /pickpocket'ed you without any RP is DM.



/pickpocket is very complicated, for that you are right.

You have to type one command and the player's ID, I don't really want to play on this server because it's complicity.

Let's not talk about wallet system, you need to type one shorter command and then click twice on "Purchase a wallet", I am deleting SAMP and erasing my browsers, I don't want to deal with Argonath anymore.

Maybe school might help, seriously.

With all due respect, the SA:MP community has been the most active, and the most thriving community out of all Argonath servers prior to the implementation of RS5 (as far as I know, please correct me if I am wrong). Many of us were a part of it - I was a part of it. So do forgive me if I sound selfish when I say I want to revive my old community.

That is because you weren't here before, and neither was I, the community was founded on MTA VC as far as I know and that died, next big thing was SAMP which is slowly dying, now IVMP is gaining popularity, and MTA SA, it isn't one thing that leads a community, as far as I know SAMP brought the most stupid people, I was one of them, but after 5 years I know my place here. SAMP brought a lot of new players but also a ton of people that were tearing the comunity apart, there were no DDOS attacks before SAMP,.. Stop looking at one thing, make your perspective broader.

Your observation is flawed as it does not take into account all major factors affecting the playerbase, including but not limited to:

1. Age of SA:MP. Some of you will argue that other servers maintain high amounts of players, but if you will look at the global server list now, you will see that even the amount of servers is far below what it was in the 2009-2011 years.

2. Age of GTA:SA[. While San Andreas is a cult classic, it is still an old game that isn't getting any younger. Just like Vice City, an increasing majority of its remaining playerbase are modders / mod users.

3. Age of players. Many of our old regulars who left, even before RS5, do so because of real life reasons. As time passes by, we get older and gain more RL obligations such as college, university, jobs, and maybe even family. This means you will not have as much time for the gaming community as you used to. (Side note: Former Argonath scripter Haldir / [R*]wdoyle2 is getting married in the next 2 months. Congratulations!)

4. Inactive Developers / Admins. At this point, half of the administration and less than a third of the HQ are active. This is bound to affect the players.

5. MTA:SA and IV:MP / MultiV. This is in no way pinpointing, but just stating the fact that people have more options to try out now, and as such some will move their focus to other things than SA:MP.

RS5 or no RS5, those five factors will still affect the playerbase and bring down player count.

Also, everything Leon just said.

1. Use of wallet:
- As you stated that there is no way to RP, of the wallet system. No, not really mate. It's up to the player that he properly use the wallet system through "ROLEPLAY".
- Wallet are added for the prevention of your own money. It saves your money from getting stole.
- As our scripters has added a new command, /pickpocket. If you would save your money into the wallet, no one would be able to steal your money.

2. Addition of command /pickpocket:
- You stated that, "those interested in an RP otherwise it leads to a shootout." Why to think negative? You can be one who RP'es /pickpocket.
- According to my knowledge, you cannot /pickpocket newbies.

Such things even existed in rs4 , that needed just an imaginative mind. Addition of that became a complexity now, like transferring loose change to wallet just after firemissions or any other income. You even cant deposit money in ATM without using wallet. And commands like /addcard and all have made it complex. In rs4 we had just deposit . Withdraw money. That was awesome and other things could have been RPed imaginatively.

Coming to /pickpocket, all the newbies, to end their newbie time buy wallets and it has become a habit of storing in wallet. So the use of /pickpocket is almost dead. It was of no use, you say that you can RP it. We could have RPEd the same in rs4 too. No need for addition of complex commands like /activecard and shit

Taking into consideration the comments from both sides of the fence over the last 68 pages, we must now look to the most factual representation of the community’s wish which is ultimately the poll that has taken place. Over the course of weeks, more than 239 players have contributed to the poll and as it stands we have an absolute majority (53.8%) in favour of rolling back to RS4.

(http://s16.postimg.org/b3jt9lzj9/argonathishere.jpg)

Reflecting on the results, the management/owner cannot stand idly by and disregard the collective voice of the community. It is clear by absolute majority that the community wish is to return to RS4 and in view of this all options must now be explored. Indirectly, this is supported by Gandalf’s commission to introduce a more democratic decision making society in Argonath and what better way to build this momentum by honouring the desire of the community to return to RS4.

RS5 script maybe looks like a great improvment in ArgonathRPG, but infact it is mroe like this:

1. It is difficult for newcomers. Fact is that people who are rather new to SA:MP will view this script as way too complicated.

2. RS5 is full of bugs. Every day i see tons of people complaining on main chat about all sorts of bugs. The most annoying is the one which makes you loose all your weapons after relogging, and also after quiting fireman job.

3. Playerbase fell alot.

4. Shure, jobs that have been added (like mechanich  job) are good in a way that they require RP to be done, but with server being empty all the time (by empty i mean 10 players all day long except at night when there is no more than 30 players) and tons of players not willing to roleplay, people cannot earn money. Over half of players are on cop duty, other half are either crinimal gorups or civilians, but without jobs, they dont have cash, and without cash they have no will to do criminal RP because if they get shot by cops they will loose that small amount of money they have.

If you ask me, RS5 compleatly ruined Argonath. In this period of the day, there were 100+ players, sometimes even 150 while Argo was using RS4, but now there is 30 max. The server is compleatly ruined. There is barely a dozen of people who are willing to RP, but damn, that is not much at all, and not to mention that they are not always online, so there is regularly around 5, 6 people online that are actually willing to RP.

Now, i know that a rain of comments will come on me telling that this aint truth, BUT THIS IS the ABSOLUTE truth. Argo is ruined, and there is NO argument that can proove me wrong. Dont trust me? Look at the pole, majority of players thing the same.

Also, when RS5 came out, alot of people told me "Wait, give RS5 two, three months, it will drasticly improve". Well 4 months have passed, and NO improvment. Sad, but harsh truth. Think about it please, i cant watch the server fall apart like this.

That is all from me.

2. RS5 is full of bugs. Every day i see tons of people complaining on main chat about all sorts of bugs. The most annoying is the one which makes you loose all your weapons after relogging, and also after quiting fireman job.
If people know that weapon system bugs when u relog, why do they even buy a shitload of weapons, if u buy less weapons you will not feel the bug.

Indeed it fell alot, but never say never.

Everyone has to move forward one day, don't you think so?
The funny thing is that people were like OMG RS5 IS COMMING OMG OMG I CANT WAIT and things like that, and what did they said when RS5 was launched? Fuck RS5 that's what people said.

Now, i know that a rain of comments will come on me telling that this aint truth, BUT THIS IS the ABSOLUTE truth. Argo is ruined, and there is NO argument that can proove me wrong. Dont trust me? Look at the pole, majority of players thing the same.
Argonath SA:MP server is ruined, and everyone can notice that, but why don't everyone that is active in forums, which is the real amount of players that were active as hell in RS4 go in RS5 and have fun with each other like everyone used to have in RS4.

Alright, even if somehow RS4 is brought back, what then? It will not see any serious development or any new major additions. It will be more of a step backward than forward.

At the moment RS4 is indeed better than RS5, but RS5 has much greater potential, that is what players are not seeing.

Shure, jobs that have been added (like mechanich  job) are good in a way that they require RP to be done, but with server being empty all the time (by empty i mean 10 players all day long except at night when there is no more than 30 players) and tons of players not willing to roleplay, people cannot earn money. Over half of players are on cop duty, other half are either crinimal gorups or civilians, but without jobs, they dont have cash, and without cash they have no will to do criminal RP because if they get shot by cops they will loose that small amount of money they have.
I do agree with you, all the jobs require RP.

Criminal  RP: The risk is high and the profit is low... Anyway, a meeting was made with the SA:MP HQ, but they can't decide on their own, without Gandalf's permission.

People are not mad about RS5, they're mad because they lost their assets I think.

Yes, I'm sad that I lost my assets, but just live with it.

RS5 has three balls. You don't need an extra ball, two will do just fine. RS4 was sufficient enough, minor changes here and there would have made it even more fantastic.

Assets my a**. You're saying (over) half the players of Argo SAMP were so moneyhungry that they left only because of that reset? Take a shower, hit the weights, get a clue.

I believe that a lot of people do not give a fuck about the assets they had, they just want the old gameplay to get back.
The smallest problem is to work hard and earn money, but in RS5, it's impossible as mostly everything is bugged. I can guarantee that the activity would increase for 80 percent in the first week after the return of RS4.
You must be blind when you do not realize what people want. Assets we possessed is something we don't need, we just need the old scripts back so we can get to work.

Even if we could get our assets in RS5, I doubt that the activity would reach 50 players per day.

It's amazing how we have such a high amount of people who do not know how to look beyond what is merely on the surface.

RS5 holds a much higher potential than RS4. What is holding it back is poor implementation. Once the implementation is perfected (or at least smoothened, and this includes removing interfaces that are too complicated), RS4 will never be able to hold a candle to RS5.

Once again, learn the difference between design and implementation.

The amount of players does not always equal success.

In RS3, we had a maximum of 50-70 players every day, but the overall quality of the community back then was much higher.

This gives you another question to ponder on: removing scripts from the picture, what was it back then that is lacking now, and how can we bring it back?

People want their assets back, its that simple. And until they get their assets back they're going to piss and moan, inventing every excuse imaginable to not contribute to the community. The devs could release a fully functional version of RS5 tomorrow and these people would still whine.

At this point of this day, when RS4 was in use there were approx 40-70 players online. Now there is 7.

Well since i enjoy RS5 more than RS4 soo... kinda wrong..

Rs4 was old news.. Everything you needed there was drugs, and buisiness.. In RS5 it's a lot more interesting, cuz none of those play that big role. And new Economical system is great. Ofcourse have some things that may not be needed, but its great that argo have something new. It just gives other ppl chance to grow. And most of players just cant stand the idea of loosing what they had, and cant get over it

I really can't be bothered reading the 71 pages so I'll just lay out my two cents.

Is RS5 really that bad compared to RS4? I was inactive a lot in the last year of RS4 (mostly due to many of my old friends retiring and my lack of interest in SA:MP) so I never really got around to fully checking out RS5, but I'm sure it can't be terrible compared to RS4, rigth? Apart from the roleplay which had gotten worse over the years, all one did was go on /duty or stock up on drugs with a fucked up economy where everyone was a millionaire. Hell I was sitting on around 25-30 million myself.

I really though that RS5 and the reset that followed really breathed some new life into the server and community. If it didn't, hold your horses and wait up. I'm sure Gimli and the other scripters are working hard on making RS5 a better experience for everybody. They may be slow (RS5 was supposed to come out at the end of December 2011, haha) but I believe it'll be worth the wait.

Title: Re: Let's get real - part 2 - RS5 or RS4?
Post by: Manas on March 08, 2014, 03:21:13 pm
To Comrade as you asked about major problems-
We see a lot of people complaining of assets they lost during reset
You cant give weapons to anyone
if you buy weps, you will lose them somehow in 1-2 days if you're active enough due to bugs
If you take a loan for a house or a bizz
The business system is blocked and doesn't work as of now.
People took loans with the hope that their bizzes will earn them a major part to pay back. So now they are dissatisfied
People bought cars and >90% of the vehicles are bugged
If you lose connection to server suddenly, there is major chance of losing your assets like drugs and weps
You get killed by bug/someone=-- you lose seeds+drugs
the drug rates are very low like 28-35p/g =this seriously discourages drug system
And to find a drug spot you need to work in finding a spot which change randomly in regular intervals of time.
So basically a player's thinking for drug system is like,"I could make much better bucks by doing a firemission like 1k-3k instead of finding a spot and then growing for like 10weed and then getting a net profit of 300$""
there are still many bugs, i recommend you to have a look at BUG Section.
As per my thinking, RS4 was much stable and better in all the above mentioned aspects! There could be made a RS 5.1 [ containing the best of 4.1 and 5]

Post by: Comrade on March 08, 2014, 04:07:38 pm
@Manas
Ah, I can see why some people are upset but personally I don't think it is much of a problem.

We see a lot of people complaining of assets they lost during reset
It's a reset. Some people like it, some people don't. Nothing one can do about it really. Personally I believe a reset was a good choice because frankly the economy was really bad.

You cant give weapons to anyone
I really hope that this will be fixed soon then. Being unable to trade in an RPG is a big problem.

if you buy weps, you will lose them somehow in 1-2 days if you're active enough due to bugs
Yeah, we had that bug back in 2010 too. They fixed it in a few months but it always came back in different ways. I guess it's back again.

The business system is blocked and doesn't work as of now.
People took loans with the hope that their bizzes will earn them a major part to pay back. So now they are dissatisfied
I suppose the system is unfinished. That's bad, but then again people shouldn't have been diving into businesses so fast.

People bought cars and >90% of the vehicles are bugged
Okay, I get it. Lots of bugs. It's bad but this has to be waited out.

If you lose connection to server suddenly, there is major chance of losing your assets like drugs and weps
You get killed by bug/someone=-- you lose seeds+drugs
Yup, as I said earlier it's the same bug from 2010. We've got no choice but to wait until it's fixed.

the drug rates are very low like 28-35p/g =this seriously discourages drug system
Now this, this is very good. Back in 2010 and 2011 drug rates were 20-21 p/g and that kept the economy stable. When drugs started to increase in price, so did the players' greed and shit just went offtrack. As of now, thanks to the reset we don't have players sitting on millions and millions of money. There's not a lot of money in the server and so the drugs are cheap compared to 2013 in RS4. I sincerely hope that the drugs will stay this way, this is something I've been waiting for.

And to find a drug spot you need to work in finding a spot which change randomly in regular intervals of time.
So basically a player's thinking for drug system is like,"I could make much better bucks by doing a firemission like 1k-3k instead of finding a spot and then growing for like 10weed and then getting a net profit of 300$""
There's more work involved. That's just good, isn't it? Gives players more things to do. If all one cares about is profit, then go do the fire missions then. The game isn't all about making money. Those that understand it will have a great time, those that don't will not. Simple as that.



Basically the problem is that players were too used to the fucked up economy of RS4 and are now clueless about what to do in RS5. Well, adapt. Adapt and overcome.

The second problem is the bugs. Of course there would be bugs, and of course they are bad. But there's nothing we players can do about it so we should just try to live with it until the scripters fix them. It's important to keep a positive attitude and things will look bright. There is no need to be upset, really. Just go with the flow.

thank u sir for repeating wut i just said lulZ



On a serious note, that's a really good question. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say it's guidance. Back then with RS3 Gandalf, Aragorn, and a lot of the leaders were active ingame playing, GUIDING the players on how to be good roleplayers and good people on the server. If there was an issue, they were there to squash the issue or decide if it was not important enough to bother with.

As the leaders became more inactive ingame just playing, new players and old players alike lost that guidance, and the new "guiders" were leaders of groups that may or may not have had the best intentions for the server and community in mind... focusing more on material things and competitiveness than friendship and fun.

Just my two cents. What do you think, Panda?

I'm not Panda, but I'll speak toward my ideology and I must say that I'll give you damn 10/10 cookies for your speech. People are to upset about focusing for them-self, trying to earn money and trying to achieve some kind of victory by competitive with the rest. There is a possibility to have both, but to have both things, you most enjoy them.

The reason why Svensson is only recruiting people who is Swedish and that fits your own group of people is just because we want to have fun. We cannot have fun time with someone that we find being annoying or harassing other people. We just don't take in people that are just "Swedish" - Many people have asked to be a part of Svensson even if they are Swedish and got rejected. Few people even got invited due to their personality rather than being Swedish, Truth, Benson, Janek and a few other for example.

Groups should be based on fun, creativity, roleplay and not on a victory type based on DM, brutality and dis-quality of guidance.

I'll support your note Vince, somewhere in the shadow hides a secret that may be the reason of all of this. Maybe only Sauroman knows the depth of the shadow, and I'm totally high right now.

Other bugs don't matter to me.
You can RP with those bugs, unless the chat gets bugged :P

71 pages of moaning regarding it's bugs and now we're on 72th, arguing whether it has few or many. Actually even though scripters did a lot of good work and fixed a large portion of them, it still has quite some to be fixed, features missing, and re-writes.

I think it's prefect the way it is.

Well, I wouldn't say it's perfect. Actually it's far from perfect, it's only a shadow of what RS4 once was.



But even if RS5 is, at this very moment, worse than RS4, it doesn't mean that RS5 is bad. RS4 had exhausted it's potential while RS5 is brimming with it. One has to destroy to rebuild. With RS5 we took one step backwards, but because of that one step backwards we can now take a hundred steps forward. It's just a matter of time before RS5 will be superior to RS4 and beyond, so all we have to do is patiently wait and embrace the development.

I remember disagreeing with you several times in the past. However, this is indeed a new age. Now if only more people had this worldview.

I love how people waste their time. 72 pages of bullshit, and Argo founders dont give a flying fuck about bringing back the old script. You people are just waisitng time moaning here, and others are just wasting time trying to proove to the moaners that it is better with RS5. I admit, i am a moaner too, but please CUT THE CRAP, RS5 aint coming back! I AM NOT PAYING to maintain Argo, Gandalf is, and if he wants to see it go down the toilet, i seriously dont give a fuck anymore, and neither should you!

Looks like RS5 is getting like RS4:

HostName: Argonath RPG

Players:  85 / 100
Ping:  50
Mode: Rock Stars RPG 5.0

This is high for a Monday. Not to mention the playercount reached the 85-player range last Saturday.

Basic psychology, once again. People will eventually adapt to change, while those who don't will be eliminated by (self-imposed) natural selection.

We're lucky that we have great people who are here to help and provide great suggestions, like great HQ(Devin) who knows to recognize reasonable suggestion and make them happen.

Mafias need their HQ back as National Heritage and for the start they need some cars which they can use in family color and which will spawn in front of HQ. That will raise the ammount of players in-game.

I dont see a problem to set few properties and 20 cars.

Criminal groups dont have any interest to play as being a criminal on RS5 is a big waste of time and money, it's not even fun.
So im telling you, give them a reason to play. It's a small job for you and it's a big for the server, if it's not too late already.

There are few more things which are necessary for the beginning of the RS5s magic. Hopefully that will be fixed soon.

You realise that you're suggesting that mafias should have advantage over players? What the f___ is this? You never had scripted cars in RS4, why should you have them in RS5. This just proves how whiny the current criminal groups are, having it hard to let go of what they have and being greedy enough not to allow other families to prosper. I never saw Gvardia or Corleone whining for some reason.

The only thing I regret at the moment is that we don't have a copy of the daily server statistics that can show the recovery of RS5. But then again, that's one less thing for the "SA:MP is dead!" people to shove up there where the sun doesn't shine. :D

Being greedy and asking for script cars to have an advantage is one thing. The HQ awarding them to groups that actually helped the server progress instead of being a bunch of whiny pricks is another.

I think that this topic should be locked, all players are enjoying the current gamemode.
They atfirst said it was bad, because of the bugs.
Now, everything is alright, most of old players are back.

No need to argue.

 Yes, indeed the Heritage thing should be considered, but think again...Do you deserve it?  ;)

The things you are saying are not true and please dont spread false information.

For example, Gvardia did complain on the start. I am here, as other players, to help the server and provide good solutions which will bring back the players.

I'm running a streetgang and I've gotten 4 cars, why? Because I'm active, roleplaying and contributing to the server.

THAT.

This new thing is like a... Reward system. People contribute to server by roleplaying alot more, server has more players on it. Rewards like this give motivation to players to follow server rules, roleplay even more, just trying to make this server as best as it can be.

If anyone asks me this is a great thing and i really belive that it will improve RP quality on the whole server.

Cops could not issue guns to their officers in RS2, why should they be able to now? It is an advantage over players.
Lets never develop the script. Back to RS1 guys!

Exactly but actually we have seen how the playerbase has been increasing by the days passing. I'm pretty sure that in a few months we will increase the ammount of players per day even more as it's the time when almost everyone gets his vacation period.

Just very recently, at this hour and the middle of the week, that number would be 10. The playerbase is making its recovery.
