Title: Question about the reset thing
Post by: Daco on April 19, 2011, 05:22:04 pm
Quote from: Aragorn
If you only discuss the reset thing - many will be against...

Why not to look from other side: there will be created a new gamemode, with new systems, new fun, new possibilities... System itself will not be the same as it is now...

And here is a simple choice:
either we stick to the current scripts and just do small add-ons, or we move on one level more of Argonath World, and that will ask the sacrifice...

Ready to get rid of your millions which you actually do not use? Then RS5 will be a new gamemode system... Not ready? Then we just continue sit on RS4 with small additions...

???

What happens now?

By reset do you mean money reset or do all your assets get reset aswell?

The result of votes was 50% Y | 50 N. So nobody knows if there will be a reset or not. I would stay neutral for it.

That poll wasn't really an effective way to cast votes. People were probably making new accounts for it anyway.

Now it feels more like a job... It's a must to roleplay other characters now? Why can't I have fun and rp my old "sketch"? And also, I can bet that nothing will change after that reset anyway. Resetting is just use-less but you can always give it a shot. I don't really care anyway, do what's the best for the server...

Why would they reset VCMP, MTASA and etc?

There should never be a reset once a server has a non-beta script.
Never.

Not to mention, this reset will reduce alot of criminal activity since everyone would want to work for the law which get money. Most likely see Taxi's/Cops etc..

@Skan:
 Actually, crime is a business which can make much money, so the inverse will happen.
 
I would be willing to sacrifice my assets if we are to move to a higher level, but people are going to hoard more to compensate and race to get all the good properties first.

I'm not "smart" at pc but i belive you can save fails. So how about they would save fails afther what reset server to rs5 and if it won't go well just put back old files and let be Argonath how it where. If people can't decide what would be better why not just try it and if what make big backup file to put Argonath in old road .

They're going to put up a whole new script system. Same happened before RS3.

Wait, by reset, does it mean you will lose everything you own? Or just go back to a later date?

Because it means I will lose 3 vehicles and a nice house in Rodeo, aswell as a truckload of weed :(

If that is the requirement for not having a reset, then that is correct.

I would rather go through a reset than stick around missing RS5. Rebuilding what you earned (On the internet) will be much more interesting, than just continuing with the piles of cash and properties people have collected.
Title: Re: Question about the reset thing
Post by: EminemRulez on April 20, 2011, 10:25:32 pm
I voted yes for the reset..

but Panda has a point; players can be obsesssed to earn everything they lost and that could be the chaos.
Maybe that's why many said "No"

Resetting may offer more challenge when playing, and have something to look forward to, rather than have it all, already.

RS5 is quite a long way off, seeing as they have not even started Alpha Testing yet. Currently they are in the stage of putting the Game Mode concept design together, piece by piece.
 
Another question about the reset. Will all banned IPs stay banned?
Title: Re: Question about the reset thing
Post by: Webster on April 21, 2011, 10:43:25 pm
About your question JDC.
I hope the banned IP's can be cleared so other players can go on with a new fresh start in the gamemode.

And I support the reset as I myself am not very rich, but I want to start from the beginning like everyone else.

I am not against giving CERTAIN banned players a chance to redeem themselves.
 
However, the number of banned IPs has reached more than 8,000, as provided by Gimli's statistics. Many of those are merciless rogues who will not hesitate to hack admin accounts and attack the server using DDoS. Some of them are just unredeemable.

I don't think much ''improvements'' can be made after RS4. I'm just fine in SAMP really. Why do we need anything else? We've got the best, let's keep it that way. Also, IF RS5 comes, why not just copy the player files?. I don't see what the big problem is. Those who have much money want to keep it and those who don't, for some reason, want the others to lose it? I really don't think anyone voted on that poll for the reason ''I want a fair restart''.

Argonath SAMP has a lot of uniqueness. One of them is its economy, well known drug barrons, well know millionairs. Eventually they will all regain their fortune, it's not hard if you're dedicated, so ''fair restart'' is allready proven wrong here. Everyone has one when they register. And the rich people do not limit anyone to also become rich. USSUALLY IT'S THE OPPOSITE ; For instance, I ussually give a huge tip to cab drivers, because I like to help them. I, and many other ''rich people'', give atleast 10 ''restarts'' to random people every week.

Eventually ( 2 weeks ), There will allready be a new economy with new millionairs ( 90 percent chance that these will be the same people ), and people will want these ''restarts'' sooner and sooner. Is this your sence of being fair? Any new player can work his way to the top, it really isn't that hard, go ask ''rich people'' ingame.

When I place myself into someone who doesn't have any stats but plays for quite a while, I can see that this looks like a good idea to them. It looks fresh. But in reality, Nothing will change for you, nothing will change for anyone, appart from the fact that the current millionairs will have to work a couple of weeks to regain their fortune.

Screw whenmade, I remember the exact dates on which I joined Argonath anyway.
 
As someone who had a glimpse of some revolutionary RS5 concepts, I can tell all of you here that there will indeed be features that will encourage or cause players to spread over the map. What those improvements are, I cannot say here... wait until the reset.

Title: Re: Question about the reset thing
Post by: Gandalf on April 22, 2011, 05:32:36 pm
It is time to end the speculations, which we have allowed in order to see how the community will react.

First of all, the idea to make a full reset for RS5 has been mine, with support of Gimli.
The reason is that we want to make a new account system, that will make it easier to get information and protect against intrusions and hacks. For this, we would need to make a major operation regarding the current accounts, as the old data would have to be read in to the new system, with chances of errors.
If there would be a small error, it would mean us spending days or weeks to sort out who has what, instead of fixing script bugs and updating new features.

The problem is of course that we should give something in return. For those who remember 2007, we made that time a loan system so players could open a business with little money, and made sure there was extra man power to set all houses in short time.

If we choose a full reset, then that does not mean active and old players will lose their name or automatically lose their long-standing business. However it will mean that those players who are not active will lose out, in favour of the active players.

How exactly this will be done is something we do not know yet, as most of it is at this time just an idea brewing in my mind. But rest assured, wwhen the time comes you will be informed and get all chances to retain landmarks.

We will now close all reset topics, until the time RS5 will go in to beta testing. Before that time, you have nothing to worry about.
