Hello everyone,
We want to share an important update about the future of Argonath RPG and the continued development of our FiveM RP server.
Over the past few years, we’ve faced significant development challenges,  transitioning from RageMP to FiveM, and then into the QBCore framework. These changes, combined with limited developer resources, have slowed our ability to deliver the experience we’ve always envisioned for our community.
Today, we’re excited to confirm that development is continuing, with a clear strategic shift. Whilst we may have missed opportunities during GTA V’s RP lifecycle, we are fully committed to being ready for GTA VI and bringing Argonath RPG back to its former strength.

Development Team Update
To support this direction, we are excited to officially welcome KJones as our Lead Developer for GTA V & VI.
Many of you will already be familiar with his enthusiasm and impact on SA:MP, where he delivered major improvements, resolved long-standing issues, and introduced new features.
Over the past month, @KJones  has been working closely with owners @WDoyle and @[R*]Jcstodds,  and V:MP Division Leader @[R*]Kawashty. Together we have made strong progress within the Open Core framework. Development is now on track for an initial FiveM test server.

Our Vision
It is our intention to focus on Text Based RP to support our international community. Our broader vision remains unchanged:
To create a server where jobs encourage meaningful roleplay and promote teamwork, while still being viable for solo players and accessible to new members.
Every system, item, and feature will have a purpose within a wider, player-driven economy.

Development Progress
Over the past month KJones had made exceptional progress including:
•   Core systems such as character creation, inventory, banking, Discord integration
•   Staff tooling, including admin systems and exploit detection
•   A foundation Faction Syste, designed to ensure all groups (government, police, gangs, businesses) operate with consistent capabilities across permissions, assets, and resources
•   Core player features such as  custom phone, HUD, and chat systems.
We aren’t truly building from scratch, as several systems developed previously by Wdoyle and the previous team are being implemented.

Current Priorities
Our immediate focus is to build a functional, core gameplay experience
•   Core business and job mechanics to support a player-driven economy (crafting, logistics, buying and selling)
•   Expansion of business, factions and group gameplay
•   Player identity systems including passport, phone numbers, ID’s etc
•   Government services, properties and vehicles
This list is not exhaustive and KJones will be providing regular development updates as we progress.

Getting Involved
We will be sharing ongoing updates through our FiveM Discord. https://discord.gg/QAr9emhFu
 
If you have experience with JavaScript and are interested in contributing to the project, please reach out to KJones or Wdoyle directly.
If you are interested to join in-game for alpha testing (no coding experience necessary) please contact KJones.

Thank you for your continued support. This marks a new chapter for Argonath RPG, and we are looking forward to building something far more robust, scalable, and future-ready.

We want this to be a smooth and enjoyable experience, so any rule-breaking (racism, script abuse, trolling, etc.) will result in an instant ban with ZERO chance of appeal. Play fair, be respectful, and let's keep the vibes positive!

Dear community owner, I have found some highly disturbing racist material in our community: https://arpd.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=9098.msg64585#msg64585

Could you please reassure us that such racist, insensitive, and, frankly, completely deranged behaviour will not happen during the revival?

I mean, last thing we want to see during these hard times is somebody harassing and/or hunting based on their race and/or ethnicity.

Howdy sir, that sounds a lot like them communist talk! Licence and registration please?

Nice find!

For any of those not familiar about this tongue-in-cheek group:
We had a lot of fun as Immigration Patrol, as one of the most memorable police RP groups, and never had any complaints of harrassment, as many players came to us to RP because they knew we would have fun and not kill/jail. You'll find there was no mention of race, colour, ethnicity or sex to be targetted as the "illegal immigrant" and absolutely no racist discussion or chat ingame or out. It was more about setting up intricate traps and operations based on dumb stereotypes.
Players had the freedom to choose whether to engage, and were not selected on their "skin". Lots of highway checkpoints, misguided sting operations, RP focused police training, following a fun and fair RP guideline. As with all our events, everyone should come out of the experience having fun, and they did.

Unfortunately in recent years with real-world e.g. ICE doing more hurtful, racist and deeply saddening actions against people, the world is a different place from 16 years ago, and so the parody is probably not in such high demand, or would have to adopt. It will be interesting to see how Rockstar Games parody modern policing in GTA VI.

As always, we condone keeping RP fair and fun. Be considerate to other players, it should be enjoyable to all. If there are concerns, please do highlight and report to us owners or admin team.

Thank you for your contributions. I'm sure someone appreciates you posting your resignation from a project that shut down in 2022 :d

I appreciate it.
