Title: Argonath RPG: 5 years our own world
Post by: Gandalf on July 28, 2011, 10:18:43 am
As you may have noticed here and there, Argonath RPG is celebrating its 5th birthday today.
When we started out 5 years ago, nobody could have even dreamt that today we would be such a large and active community, with servers for 8 different games, a sister community, more than 10.000 members (of which over 500 active) and we are classified as "large forum" based on our post and member count.

Argonath RPG is still a growing community, and while not many members have reached 5 years of active presence, others have replaced and found the togetherness of the community. Some people say that through internet you can not have real friendship and everything should be considered as false. Those people have been influenced by their parents or teachers, who grew up without internet, and can not understand the modern times. While we do not know each other in person, and as old people we do believe it is good not to reveal personal information to relative strangers, this does not mean that we are fake in our personality.

Through Argonath RPG people have formed (and broken) friendships, and there are even rumours of some relationships being formed through meeting, even if nobody on the internet is a woman according to some.
We have seen our players grow, some going from good to bad others bad to good, and some showing their good side after going through a rough time. 

In the 5 years a lot has changed, but what has remained is our basic philosophy. To be a community that is open for all who wish to contribute in a postitive way. While we do hold you responsible for what you say, we rarely intervene in discussions or lock topics should the discussion go beyond the original post.

Finally, we are proud to have all of you here. We are investing monthly some money, and some may say it is useless to spend money without getting anything (evil hint to those wanting virtual things for donations). However what we get back is the fun of providing a place for people from all over the world to meet, have fun and exchange thoughts.

If you type today the site or forum without index.php you will see a birthday video, that was made including your contributions. Just try http://argonathrpg.eu (http://argonathrpg.eu) or http://argonathrpg.eu/forum (http://argonathrpg.eu/forum)

Happy birthday Argonath RPG!!!

Holy crap i totally relate to this.....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARGONATH! Thanks for creating a place separate from the real world that has allowed many to grow through their teenage years meeting new people and sharing experiences in a way you never could with people face to face. I truly love you all.

^ Argonath RPG 1 year anniversary (2007)


  Argonath has come a long way with thousands of members contributing to create a server, where even our enemies cannot leave.
It is YOU - the players, that make Argonath what it is.
5 Years of Argonath, a server with no purpose other than to have fun, chilling and making friends.

  I'm sure many will agree - Argonath is amazing, and we will be looking forward to Anniversaries to come!
HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY ARGONATH!

Post by: SugarD on July 28, 2011, 09:31:45 pm
Happy Birthday Argo!!! As I said before, I feel unbelievably honored to celebrate it with you guys. When I joined just under 5 years ago, I never thought that the day I met BiteMe, and he teaching me how to RP in MTA:VC would eventually lead to the many things I do today. I only have Argo to thank for it's great history and fun times which have completely changed my life for the better. Years ago I had a passion for Law Enforcement that began fading with frustration. Around that same time, my girlfriend that I was engaged to and with for 2-3 years left me. My life was falling apart, yet my friends here who I have never met kept me going through every day. I eventually met 2 girls who I had fallen deeply in love with, and today I can proudly say one is my best friend, and the other is my girlfriend, and I don't give two ****s about anyone saying it's not real. Just like with these relationships and how they started out, your friends in Argo may be people you never see or meet, but that does not mean they aren't being honest in their words. When you take away everything society throws at us by removing that face-to-face contact, you are seeing the true side of a person, should they choose to be true in their words, and it will make you better friends than some people you may ever meet in your life. That is not just an opinion, it is a time-tested fact, and just as Gandalf/Ronnel said himself, we are not being fake in our personalities like others may be in real life.

Touching on what I said before about my passion for Law Enforcement, again, I have Argo to thank for bringing that back to me. Roleplaying a cop for 3-4 years straight (before ARFD was founded) has made me pursue my dream career again, and today I can happily say that I've been through an Academy, and although I won't be explaining anything beyond that, I want to thank Gandalf/Ronnel and Aragorn/RON personally for giving me the opportunity to be in such a great community where things like this are possible, because without them, I would not be here today. My life would otherwise be in a horrible place. You may say that allowing a game to influence your life is a bad thing, but this is not necessarily true. It's not just a game. It's real people interacting and communicating with one another, expressing real feelings and personal thoughts. This world of it's own is more real in some ways than the one we live in today because at some points, people are more honest with each other and themselves than they are in real life. To have such a great community capable of bringing that out in people is absolutely amazing. It's not just about the fun here...it's about the friends you meet, and the good times you have with them. Argo is not just another community that outlasted the others. It's a home to all who love it and want to be a part of it...and anyone is welcome to that. Just as Aragorn/RON says all the time, even our enemies cannot get enough of us. ;)

You may say that allowing a game to influence your life is a bad thing, but this is not necessarily true. It's not just a game. It's real people interacting and communicating with one another, expressing real feelings and personal thoughts.
And that is what I always say to those who say it is "just a game". ;)

And although "its just a game" is the case offline games, online gaming has opened up so many possibilities and enables real people to interact.

BTW the server was under constant DOS attack yesterday... So we managed to have a party under DOS attack, though it was difficult for many players but server was crowded all the day...

Sorry, did not write anything here, cos was relaxing... Happy birthday, guys...

We started Argonath for gamers... This was the main our goal... Not a goal to be leaders ourselves of some community, but to create a server/community for gamers, where we can cut offensive players (negative) and help to the positive guys who actually like to play games for fun...

Games are not real life, but we are... Those who mix this two non connected things are just either idiots (missing logic) or parrots (repeating other idiots)...

As for Argonath... It was based by friends... And it was named after friends... And it was lead by friends...

When webs were up after checkup on possible damages from tutorial kid many guys from 2006 replied and wished a good luck... It means that they still read forums, still have relations with others and some of them even appeared on server... We appreciated such support also... thank you...

In Russia we have saying: as you will name your ship so it will swim... Ours is Argonath - a great Pillars of kings: visible from all sides, impressive, huge, powerful, standing on ages... And it improves its name...

We have lords of the pings team (yeah yeah, it was always Lords of the Pings = check video: Argonath RPG Tribute) each member is really good matching his nickname...  :rofl:

And we have friends - you...

We learned a lot and we can teach a lot... and all its inside Argonath...

And for us "gamers" not equal "clients"...

 :ps: I might upload the Argonath RPG history movie with renovation...

As one of those few players who can tell Argonath Happy Birthday on the same day they are greeted as well by Argonath, I look forward to every anniversary indeed.

Happy Anniversary!

It's been a very long time since my last actual 'Active' period on Argonath, and I am glad to see that the community is still here after a long 5 years.
A lot has changed in that time, and I know for one that I, myself have changed a hell of a lot from the 15 year old I was when I first played to where I am now, with what I am doing with my life as well as the person I am today.

I remember the first time I entered the server. Which actually was 5 years ago today, and I remember entering an awesome world in which I was promptly tempbanned by Ron for saying “FUCK YOU” in the chat to a death matcher. So I waited out that long hour and came back and that was the beginning to my long ride here in Argonath.

I know I haven’t always been around, but this community has shaped me in to who I am today, I am not the same young 15 year old as I was 5 years ago, I’ve changed a lot and I can think all you guys for this. When i first started i was immature and all it took was a couple of weeks for me to change and become an admin to help protect the server at night, I have even changed more from then as well, i have made some good friendships here and even if i haven’t spoken to these people in a long time i know i can count on these people to lend a helping hand if i need it.

So thank you Ron, Ronnel, for helping me out when I was younger and thank you to all the community here, you have helped me a lot, I have a lot of great memories here and I do want to make more of them in the Future.

Happy Birthday ArgonathRPG, thank you for your support over the years.

-Petey

5 years is a long time for a gaming server...I am proud and happy to have been here for 4.5 of those years, to have contributed in such a positive way to the community, the managing of the people on the server, influencing the direction of the server...I echo Petey's comments about not being the same person I was back then - I was 12 years old when I started...and back then I was socially awkward IRL, didn't type as fast, acted stupidly, was immature, hell, my voice was even high pitched back then...
Now I am a strong, confident, socially accepted guy and I think I have a lot of it to thank for Argonath...if I was not given the responsibilities I have been given over the years, there is no way I'd have developed as a person in such a positive way...I wanna specifically thank Aragorn and Gandalf for making my time on Argo being so positive a possibility...Without their trust, my life would be vastly different...
Anyway, here is a couple of pictures from each year since I started, I think they capture the essence of Argonath in all of them...hope you enjoy.
