Lets get real.

...Jesus cristo, ovelhas

[SugarD]

As there is not going to be RS6...

Gandalf...

At this point in time there is 318 servers on the hosted tab, is there any necessity to spend money on it being under the hosted tab compared to the normal tab?

And by the looks of it, all the servers that are listed under the "Internet" tab are listed on the "Hosted" tab nowadays.

That's how they earn pennies from the young and dumb The official tab was far better however much a pain in the arse it was to get on it. I seem to remember the development team Kalcor or whatever his name is now had issues with communities supporting other mods?

[Sandi]

no rs6 aaaaaw

[TheLegitHabibi]

The original thing SA:MP had was an official tab, where the team chose the most innovative servers. Argonath was on it every time we applied.
This was changed to a paid hosted tab, which was a suggestion from one of the largest hosting companies that offered Kalcor (Kyle) a part of the money. However they used this as a forceful way to promote their own hosting, making is hard for others to get on to it. Besides that, a hosted tab was nothing of value like an official listing was.
At the end of the year, after they 'took over'two other large SAMP hosters, they got in to a dispute with Kalcor about the money they promised him. The hosted tab disappeared. It returned later, but as I was no longer following closely I do not know how the status of it is today.
What I do know is that Kalcor is an excellent programmer, but terrible at business and organization.

The only good programmers in the sa-mp community are Kalcor, Y_less, Zeex and Westie, the rest are mostly using work made by others and indeed, very bad at business..

Gandalf...

Where exactly? I have yet to ever see this...

4. RS5 is probably the last full game mode we will create for SA:MP, it is up to you to make it special. But remember our scripts have never been the main reason of playing.

[murdoxix]

Thank you very very very much Pazienzia

[SugarD]

That quote says "probably" the last "full" game mode for SA:MP. It does not say that there won't be updates, RS6, or anything definite. All it is saying is that RS5 will likely be the last major rewrite/script base.

Yes.. RS6 would mean a new game mode.. aka a major script rewrite, there will be updates but not a new game mode. I want to quote a personal message from gandalf but it's personal for a reason.. The simple version is that SAMP is turning into VCMP and why should anyone make a new game mode for an alredy dying franchise.. it isn't 2010 anymore, I miss it but SAMP is slowly going away.. Why would Gandalf make his sheep script for a dying game mode rather than support something like V:MP that is comming out or M2:MP .. why look into the past when you can look into the future.

Says who? Everything up to RS4.1 was using the same base system. RS5 was the rewrite. RS6 could easily be a large update to the RS5 base.

Just to make clear, RS5 will certainly be updated and worked on for a long time to come. As you may know, RS4 was worked on and updated for 5 years, and R5 will probably be no different.
By the time 2018 is finishing, we hope that there is something much more exciting available as SA:MP will by that time be where VC is today.

3. We do not control player count. We provide something to play in, and if nobody wants to use it we will do somehting else. GTA:SA is 10 years old, SA:MP is 8 years. People grow and move on, new games ave arrived.
If you wish to suggest new things to look at, they are always welcome.

Just because Gandalf doesn't spell it out (would be silly to go into such absolutes this early anyway) doesn't mean the underlying point isn't sent across.

I want to see the guy who wants to rewrite Argo SA:MP RPG in the lovely PAWN 5 years from now, when we have a brand new gen of consoles, GTA 6/7 and hoverboard.
