Title: Argonath RPG turns 8 years.
Post by: Gandalf on July 28, 2014, 11:47:22 am
A long time ago, while many of our current players still used diapers and I was not yet suffering Alzheimer:gand: an event happened that shook a very tiny part of the world.
After a month of hard work to find the right servers and create a script that would be up to par with the best available two brothers and a friend were putting things together.
Then at 18:00 the server went public. Did we expect anything? Not really, mostly we wanted to show that we could do what others failed: run a game server in a good and professional way, based on playing for fun more than creating an atmosphere where winning is the goal.
We were strict on things as language and attitude. Very strict even. And from the first day we had to learn to fight attacks of many kinds. Crashing the server, attacks of flamers and hackers, you name it and it was present.
Luckily at the time creating a DDOS attack was vey complicated, so we did not have to bother with defense at the time. Still we had to engineer various defenses to keep people banned, and managed to do so.
After 4 months we reached the moment where we were the most populated server for the first time, and while servers based on deathmatch were regularly above us, we kept the position among roleplay servers.
MTA:VC was a sucess.

After six months we ventured in to a new mutiplayer. We used a released roleplay script, however it was for 80% rewritten in order to match what we were used to. And it contained some features not seen elsewhere, which led to other server owners visiting as they did not believe it could be done. But it could be, as we used methods not seen before in scripting. SA:MP gained a group of followers that soon exceeded all others.

In the years that followed we continued to explore new ground and find new members. By refusing to become a commercial entity and remaining free we became more of an exception within the community, as the amount of servers grew most were out to earn money from players, getting payment for virtual goods. And it still amazes us how many were willing to pay for what we considered nothing.

As with all things, after growth things settle and then decline. And with the games we use as base getting older, the regulars gowing up and find new interests, it became harder to maintain interest.
Due to our time being very limited the owners could not dedicate the time needed to urge on the team, and updates were taking a long time. When the new script came out, the accompanying reset caused an uproar among the players, and many decided it was no longer worth visiting.

However we still exist, and we do not intend to give up. Also the time of being unable to give any attention has passed. Today, on the 8th anniversary of our opening a new era is starting. We will review our servers, teams and staff and give attention where needed.
Argonath RPG was never about a single game or a single project, but about meeting people from all over the world.

Today also starts our new project, where we revitalise a project that got frozen long ago but we still believe in.
A separate announcement will follow later.

And all servers should be aware that they might get a visit today from people who hardly remember their password....

I'm a fan from the first hour. The first server I've joined, the server I'll always play...

I've seen bad day, I'v seen good days... and believe me... There are more good than bad days.

I've made new friends, I've had a new addiction, I have a new favo game to play...

Team Gandalf and co, Your job you did and still doing is... wonderfull!

It's certainly a big accomplishment for a gaming community to reach 8 years, and Argonath is quite possibly the best place for such a milestone to be achieved. I'm proud to say I've spent almost 4 years here - and I would not change anything for the world.

This community has brought me friends, connections and hours of enjoyment that has truly been outstanding.

Those who have stood by over the years and helped, developers, players and owners alike, thank you.

Can't help but wipe a tear away after reading your story.
I'm glad to be one of the few warriors upholding our kingdom in its time of need, protecting it from all the rotten apples we have met along the years.
It's been since the 22nd of November, 2011. And here I am, once again: happy to say that I will stand beside until the very end. My sword raised and held to my chest, as I chant the pact I've made.

I can only say thank you, to everyone, for upholding the spirit that keeps the blood running through our veins.

I* like the most.
Theres a lot of people here that actually prefer other Argonath servers and that just play on SAMP:RPG now and then too, IVMP, MTA:SA.

Just because you do not like something, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't either. I have no issues with how RS5 is currently going, its going better and better and the scripts keep getting upgraded and unbugged.
If you don't like it no one is holding you back from leaving.

It's really amazing how the time passes, 8 years now and it feels like it was less. I still remember the day I joined the server, which was also my first day on SA:MP, a bit less than 3 years ago, being just another new guy running around don't even knowing how to open the chat. Many things has changed during this time, we all hope that more is coming for good and we will be here, waiting it with excitement. Looking forward to seeing everything else that Argonath is preparing for us.

For what we had, what we have and we will get,
Happy 8th Anniversary ArgonathRPG!

I remember being only 3 months old in this community when Argonath celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Fast forward 6 years later, it has become my second home, one with which I have literally grown up.

It has been an honor to serve a community I share my birthday with, and to meet plenty of people.

Happy Anniversary!

Its strange, being introduced into the community in 2008, I wasnt expected to stay, I thought It was going to be a hype for around a few months and then I would move on, but as I played and I played ive grown to know alot of great friends, from in game conversations to Teamspeak and Tinychat conversations.

Can honestly say the community has had a impact on my life in many good ways.

If I was never introduced into the community I would have met alot of great friends like you guys!

Happy 8th Birthday Argonath, Let the good times roll!

Post by: OmaR_RuLeZx on July 29, 2014, 02:11:32 am
To be honest, alot of people this server sucks and those words was told to me before I tried to play Argonath..
I tried Argonath and it was hands down the best community I have ever met and I would regret it alot if I stayed on the people's word. I haven't been in the community for long, not even a year but I am still experiencing the Argonath Experience and joining families and so on...

I do not know what Argonath was like "back in the days" as old players say.. I wish I joined Argonath maybe like 3 years ago or that time because I would have joined Argonath at its best as everyone says. Unfortuanatly I haven't but I am still enjoying my time on Argonath and getting new friends and helping the community.


Happy Birthday Argonath, Keep at it

I do not know what Argonath was like "back in the days" as old players say.. I wish I joined Argonath maybe like 3 years ago or that time because I would have joined Argonath at its best as everyone says. Unfortuanatly I haven't but I am still enjoying my time on Argonath and getting new friends and helping the community.

People started to tell stories about the good old days of Argonath when it was 3 months old.

And how the years go by, it doesn't feel like it has been that long since I joined and to think it is over 6 years now.
There will always be rough patches, however we keep moving on.

And all servers should be aware that they might get a visit today from people who hardly remember their password....
Funny that I just notice it now! We were waiting for you on the ceremony at the Rockstar Center in Liberty City :(

Proud Argonathian for three years. I hope that now, once Gandalf is back, SA:MP will finally get back to the shine it once used to be.. And ofcourse, we, VC:MP players, can't wait to get our server fixed  :rolleyes:

It appears I'm a bit late to the party ;)

Although I don't play on Argonath much anymore it will still always remain a part of me. I spent 6 years of my life playing here and to be honest I don't regret it one bit. Over the years Argonath has taught me some very important life lessons and allowed me to meet some amazing people who will most likely be friends for life.

Happy 8 years and I wish you best of luck in the future!

Happy Birthday everyone.

It has been a wild ride with many memorable moments for most us.

Hope the server is on it's way to restore at least a part of it's former glory.

In the years that followed we continued to explore new ground and find new members. By refusing to become a commercial entity and remaining free we became more of an exception within the community, as the amount of servers grew most were out to earn money from players, getting payment for virtual goods. And it still amazes us how many were willing to pay for what we considered nothing.

Like LS**, I hate that you need to donate to get different walk styles, donation rank on the forum, able to buy bullet and a BMX etc...
That's the good thing about Argonath, god bless you

Once I aquired my first ever PC, the immediate thing I did was downl-BUY GTA & SAMP. Started browsing and testing out various servers, looking at the "popular" tab.. Then a weird name caught my attention and I went for it..
I wondered around aimlessly, finding a business icon and shortly after recieving my first 10K.. Thinking this was because I walked through the icon (SP mentality) I was briefly obsessed with molesting dollar signs until I found my first car.. And blew it up.

Long story short, over 4 years of playing SAMP has had such an impact on my life. Not at all by playing GTA, but by talking, listening, reading and writing to various people all over the world from all ages, sizes and colors who each put in their efforts to make Argonath the unbelievable community that it is. It has taught me in an incredible amount of life related subjects such as emotion, communication, discipline, organisation and event planning, business models and processes, economic and political understanding, verbal and written forms of discussion and problem solving, a skill in enlish that made it impossible for my high school to overcome it, tactics in both communication and organisation within police and military simulation. But most of all, friendship, community, family, group thinking and ofcourse... Humor.
I am officially unable to displace any of you muthanyuguhs from my life and don't see myself leaving this community until it leaves itself.

  Many years I have spent chasing after criminals, prostitutes, illegal immigrants, my limos, other peoples limos, taxi drivers, altar boys, gangsters, hackers, cheaters, judges, crazies, randomers, "not noobs", witches, devil worshipers, weed farmers, event winners and more. It was tiring but there is always a special place in my heart for this community regardless of how it evolves.

It will be nice to see if in 8 more years we still have the opportunity to log in and complain how it was better so many years ago!  :lol: Happy belated Birthday Argonath!

8 years? That's not bad. Not bad at all.

Congratulations, Argonath, you're one persistant server.
