Post by: Julio. on May 13, 2016, 10:20:41 pm
Now I've got you hooked in with a nice juicy subject line, I'll get the real topic going...

I want to run a poll. Please answer honestly.
How did you guys find out about Argonath? I'll put a few options up, select "Other" if the option isn't on the list.

Might be an interesting result.

I voted 'other', so, here goes: I really liked GTA Vice City and I also really liked multiplayer games because of Wolfenstein ET and other first person shooters. Thus I googled ''Vice City Multiplayer'' and found out about MTA:VC and later VC:MP. I played in MTA:VC in 2006 and met [FS]Massimo there and a bunch of others (some of whom are still around), another Dutch player. We kept talking on MSN and later he told me about SA:MP. I joined, he pretty much scammed me for my welcome cash and left again. :D

That was in February 2008. I looked up Argonath somewhere in june or july that year and was welcomed back by people like Tovenaarke and Lavamike. Great guys. The rest is (Argonath) history.  :lol:

You could add ''from Vice City'' as option. The MTA:VC server brought a lot of guys to the SA:MP server and over the years a lot of people have entered the SA:MP community through VC:MP.

Only joined Argonath after being banned from a deathmatch server on MTA:VC.  Days after joining I got tempbanned and didn't care to comeback but did after a few weeks after I was searching for servers and seeing Argonath was the more populated one I connected.  Admin who banned me knew who I was, we hung out for the day and taught me roleplay basics which I then used when joining my first clan and pretty much went on from there.

Just shows you that sometimes those we label as "rule breakers" just need time to develop!

Some interesting responses here, certainly wasn't expecting YouTube and thought we'd get some more from the official tab!

Keep the votes coming guys/gals :D

Back in the days I got introduced to SA:MP by a good friend, he went by Maximus(Forum account I think it was) and his in-game name was Jonathan_Weedes and Jim_McNulty. Not many might remember him but he is the reason I got into SA:MP. Later I introduced my cousin if people remember him "Ayden/Custom" that also played quite a lot.

I used to play samp on my friends laptop like 5 years ago, but he was getting pissed that I made him banned for like two times, yeah I was a big troll when I was on cop-duty back in the days haha, so he installed it on my own computer and I started playing, never used the forum in the begin, good times.

A RL friend of mine told me about GTA SA having a multiplayer mod, I installed it, was trying to join his own server and didn't know what to do, I clicked on Internet then on the first server name I saw (which was Argonath) then connected and here I am. And since then I never joined my friend's server :lol:

Post by: Pandalink on May 14, 2016, 01:26:24 am
I was bored some day in 2007. Remembered that years earlier I'd read someone was developing a mod called multi theft auto for vice city. Figured it would probably be out, so went and checked and then downloaded it. Argonath was the first server alphabetically that didn't have a stupid name so I joined that one. Eventually some shit went down and I went onto Argo SAMP instead of MTA:VC, flew a hydra into a marathon and stuff, all good.

Like literally if I'd sorted that list a different way, or you guys had named the server something else, or I simply hadn't been bored that day I wouldn't have joined and wouldn't have spent like 4k-8k hours playing/forum posting. I'd have never met a whole bunch of people I know now. I'd probably be like a totally different person. Isn't that a weird thought?

Joined in 08, when I was in year 8 in school, had a family friend at the time I was 13-14 he was 20, he showed me Argonath, he played for a little then basiclly I went my own way (moved away) stayed with Argonath ever since, weird to say how this game in terms of real life has had such a impact on my life, its created alot of possibilties in life for me, and I have met some people in real life from this place and I wouldn't change it for nothing.

Nice to see so many responses! Let's see if we can't crack 100  :cowboy:

No overall majorities anywhere, liking how many friend referrals I'm seeing though, you guys have been busy for sure...  ;)

I guess Argonath has some sort of advantage in that ordering the servers alphabetically in the list puts us somewhere near the top, quite helpful for both the Internet + Hosting tabs...

EDIT: Saying that, I can't actually see Argonath in the Internet tab... If that's a genuine SA:MP problem, then combined with not being on the hosted tab, as the current statistics are concerned, that's 25.9% of the potential player base. @Devin

Joined the MTA:SA server back in 2009 with the intent of deathmatching because I had no fucking idea what RPG was, and there were two players there, one named [Rstar]Sammir (NOT BEN SAMIIR) and I can't recall the other (Am sure it was Rusty). Who were both admins on SA:MP. Sammir spoke to me and told me to download the SA:MP client and he gave me the IP address. And so I did, he then met me on the SA:MP server and taught me basically everything about it.. Now he's no where to be found but his inactive forum accounts  :( His account.. > http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?action=profile;u=3104

Sammir was a really nice dude. I met him when he was still in [WS]. I got accepted into WS and 2 weeks later he got accepted into [Rstar]. That was summer 2008.
