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.

Reported for manipulation.
- Friend Referral in 2007 to VC:MP :P
-
Friend referral in 2010 :D
-
Love this. Let's see the votes rollin' in you cunning bastard.
-
Modified the poll slightly to reflect that this is primarily for those of you in SA:MP :balance:
-
Friend referral. I'm here because of Lazee Scotto
-
Johan_Soprano, 90% of albanians are here 'casue of him anyway.
-
If you've put other, can you post what it is, and if there are a lot then I'll add it to the poll!
-
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.

I found it using the Game Monitor, I think.

I find it tragic that you were the 21st vote, not the 20th...

Ah, sorry guys, I did set the votes to be changeable, seems like your user permissions are blocking it :dead:

@Xyliosius and @superheldo were two IRL friends that had introduced me to argonath. They have stopped playing for quite some time, though.
And do not hesitate to tell us how you got here ;)
-
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

I used to play with some brazilian friends and BlackEagle (Lance Wilson) at other RPG server - As that other server became decadent in late 2008, i tried out Argonath (that was in VC:MP).
-
Started out on LSRP in 2010 with some friends and then we started "side-playing" on Argonath when we needed a bit more relaxed RP.
-
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.
-
Few friends invited me around 2009-2010 to play with them on the SA:MP server, great times.
They left the community after a short while, but for some reason I am still around :)
-
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:
-
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.

I first discovered VC:MP Argonath via the Internet tab.
-
Found Argonath in 2011 via VC:MP ( internet tab ), then the rest of the community via the forums ( but you know, SA:MP is not where I'm hanging out most of the time :lol: )
-
@Johan_S Invited my brother in Argonath around March 2012. Then my brother told me about Argonath... He left I didn't :P And then I invited my trolol cousin @Stivi :D
-
Found out SA:MP from VC:MP! :)
-
My brother initially asked me to join VC:MP, I joined, I stayed. From there on out I've joined multiple Argonath's servers :)

Hi Erik :rolleyes:
-
Friend told me about it, Ahmad Luciano
-
Played VC:MP from internet tab then registered on forums and found out about other servers
-
I had been searching for servers where you can roleplay a law enforcement officer (a federal agent in particular) until I found Argonath through an old SA:MP monitor.
-
Came from a "busy" SAMP DM server after someone I met there sent me the IP with the intention to hack. :pissed:

The only thing I despise about Albanians the most.
-
A friend from GTAStunting told me about this server, was fun enough that I stayed
-
10/10 juicy subject
I had already played GTA:SA. Got it for the PC, wondered if there was a multiplayer mod, official tab, saw "RPG," knew what I was in for... rocket propelled grenades :D

Gandalf came to my door and personally invited me while he was vactioning back in the day.

Yeah man old times.
Sforza was the first "Mafia" type group I had joined was good fun, still remember us all on top of Downtown Ammu-nation killing cops over and over running back and forth to ocean docks to get more M4 ammo.
-
I am realy amazed by your move, its more then honorable, you shoud be proud on your moral...
Anyway, good luck with Cems i guess, they started atack on us, since its 30 vs 2, we wait for the night to come ...
I can only promisse you that we wont atack Cems, only CM, unless Cems goes after us..
One more time, ANYTHING YOU NEED , I MEAN ANYTHING, money/combat help/ arms/ suport, call ANY OF US!
Still remember the day like it was yesterday. Good stuff, Argonath's awesome ;) @Cofiliano
-
2008 VC-MP Days, used to join Argonath with nickname =RM=GHOST_DOG when Rebel Mafia was empty, aaaand had JayL mocking me for that..
2009 First pc that could run GTA:SA easy, Matute helped me move from MTA:SA Argonath to SA-MP..
-
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
-
Just browsing the internet tab on samp server browser, i thought it was some lord of the rings RP server lol and wanted to have a look, thank god it wasn't, i hate that goddamn stuff.
-

:lol:
Friend sent me the IP. Was about to leave when I've met Eugene.
-
I found Argonath by accident while looking the list in the client. :)
-
Well.. Tbh I was surfing MTA servers and I happened to join Argonath and I loved it :)
And so began my journey in a world of it's own :janek:
-
When I first ever got SA:MP, I was looking at random servers for Greek names so I can communicate just for fun. The first Greek name I noticed was Kostas_Evans and it was Argonath, he taught me everything so I stayed since my very first day.
-
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.
