We have to get the server back in line.

[Axison]

Thank you for your staggering contribution, now, when you're done appearing like TeaM_Axis..

You're welcome... What?

[Pingster]

When was the last time you logged in? I've said it countless times and will say it again, RS5 is NOT complicated. If you think it is, please give a valid reason and support it with evidence.

I logged in after a few months of not logging in at all and I had to refer to /help for almost every single thing I wanted to do, and I wrote the damn thing, so I don't know what chances a new player has


Yes, you can learn these things, and there's sufficient methods to do so (albeit not kept up to date or fully finished, thanks a-team for continuing on with /help), but if there's one thing the scripts definitely are not it's intuitive

[AlSforza]

The problem isn't the lack or excess (or whatever) of scripts... It's the community itself. What changed was the union between the players and the rising complex of superiority by SOME of the higher ranks. But hey... Who am I to judge. I wouldn't know if the community was better in the past-...

SAMP is losing popularity

Dude...
I took this picture right now. At peak times, they're FULL. Okay? Each server is full of 1000 players.
And this isn't even all of them.

I can't say names but we all know there are other roleplay servers with 500 - 1000 slots which are FULL at peak time.
SAMP is not losing popularity at allll!! No no no. Argonath is. We need to be absolutely clear in understanding and admitting this harsh truth. If we want to improve, we must first understand the problem. If we're all too scared to admit the true problem that people are leaving argonath and argonath is in fact losing popularity, then we will never be able to fix it.

Did you read why I said that or just thought it'd be cool to show us you play on other servers ? Re-g through the post you quoted then reply again. I'd happily explain.

No I didn't bother ready why you said that. Does it matter? You said SAMP is losing popularity and that's completely nonsense. You can save on your explanation please because SAMP is not losing popularity.

Then why the fuck do you comment on it ?


Someone said:

God... people who say SAMP is losing popularity because of 1 server.... makes me wanna smack the screen into the wall and burn it.

And I said "SAMP is losing popularity". Get it now ?

[TheLegitHabibi]

Then why the f**k do you comment on it ?

Quote him next time. Damn.
And I'm the one flagged as the troll.

[Stivi]

Without trying to participate in this discussion by taking a side, i must point you at the fact that James is, in fact, right about this. The amount of servers and players in the entire SA-MP universe (yes, this can be measured) is actually on the rise. There's about 50k players online on all servers at any given time. A few years ago, this was way less.

If you take a look at the server advertisement section of the official SA-MP forums, you can see that every day, three new (super shitty srs rp) servers are posted! Scripters are active and creating new scripts and plugins daily, many veterans such as Y_Less included. The community of SA-MP is vibrant and developing!

Henceforth my conclusion: No, SA-MP is not dying, it's just Argonath that has a problem with its current playercount. This can very well be fixed, but I will not take part in that discussion.

Have a nice day!

You are indeed correct, by not accepting the fact that Argonath is having issues with its playerbase and not SAMP these problems will never be solved

If someone actually bothers to post an advertisement about Argonath(someone who is trusted by the community/administration team), I could assure everyone that atleast 30 players will join, with 5 maybe staying, still good.

If we focus on making those new players stay, we can actually start building a solid, new playerbase. If the developer team smoothens the bugs from RS5 at the same time, we are back on track in no time. What we need is a stable place, since players will stick because of that.

Advertisement Team was formed for that purpose. But idk what they're doing now.

It's probably just another tea party for higher up players to be smug about..
