Hosted Tab.

[Bruce.]

Tho on these 2 hours we had a shitload of DMers and hackers too :P

[psyron]

most of em got banned in a matter of 2mins

[Manoni]

Great news, let's see how it goes.

[Jeremy.]

Good news!

I've finished speaking with Gandalf, starting next month we'll be using http://club.argonathrpg.com in order to crowd fund the month-to-month hosted tab payments.

[Manoni]

Does this will still come with the custom join message reward for first donors?

I haven't seen any email, is it because I used hotmail?

It doesn't look like to have a great impact.
Brings tons of hackers but don't really bring new players that stay around.

I would suggest to not waste money on the Hosted Tab. It barely brings any good.

The low playercount is not because of the new players.
Hackers are dealt accordingly and I don't think it's trouble for the a-team.

We should not jump to conclusions. Let's wait and see what it brings us in the long term.

I completely agree. I was also discussing this with some other people, but I don't think new players should be allowed to access Ammunation. It does not bring any advantages what so ever, and I have seen so many new players recently and going straight there, buying guns, and deathmatching. But apparently it goes against the Argonath Vision so 

[Cyril]

I'm not saying that for admins, I'm don't worry for them.
The fact is I receive bunchs of PMs with "please come online they are hackers" constantly shows that players get disturbed by hackers more frequently than when we are not in the hosted tab.

[Salmonella]

Well, it had an impact for the first two days but after that the server only got more inactive somehow. Yesterday I was playing for like 2 hours around 2 AM with Rapture, while the only other person ingame was Frank Serin being AFK. This lasted two hours. 

[Satoshi]

In order to have players that are active and roleplay, we need scripts. Indeed, the scripts don't make the server, players do. But you can't expect players without having scripts that they find interesting and fun to play with.

[AmyV]

Being on the hosted tab IS going to bring more hackers. It's also going to bring more serious players. At the end of the day Argonath is being advertised now on SAMP, so this is going to bring more players, it's just a shame that this particular type of advertising is likely to bring more rulebreakers than serious players

And I think the server is inactive at the moment because of people going back to school and such as I've noticed a sudden drastic drop. This causes a problem for the new players too as there's not many people online, they get bored, so they start pissing around

[Satoshi]

How about dropping all these "inactive because of summer", "inactive because of school", "inactive because of winter holidays"? Let's face the truth, we're lacking of players because we do not satisfy nowadays roleplayer's demands for a better server.
