Changes to be made

[Frank_Hawk]

As we tried to explain before, most of the people do not have lag, nor desyncs, the server statistics appear fine, as they have been checked by several people. And it appears just to be you and a few other people, who also appear to be from the UK.

It is not the server that is the problem. We saw the same problem in RS4, where after multiple iterations of the code (by multiple developers) caused something to break and ultimately led never ending desync/lag.

RS5's first few iterations were fine, but lately something seems to have changed and has led to desync/lag resurfacing in the server. Somewhere along the line, a critical defect has surfaced and if we're going to build upon code that has this defect, the desync/lag is only going to get worse.

Also, it is not only those in the UK experiencing this issue. The issue of desync/lag is experienced by many others too.

There certainly isn't any script lag. What you are experiencing are likely network issues of some sort. Please take note of obvious lag moments and let us know. Any information you provide leading to the cause of your lag is helpful and could lead to a solution.

History has taught us that new players will want to become freecops shortly after joining the server. We should revert back to legacy RS4 functionality which allows new players to become cops without the need for a passport. If the counter argument is it would lead to more DM, we should accept that impact and mitigate it through RP.

exactly that. it's not like newbies becoming freecops caused that much of an issue, and even if/when they do, isn't there supposed to be an admin team specifically for that reason?

[Teddy]

Good news, with the few tracerts we've gotten we have a new suspect in the cause of the lag and will contact our hosting provider immediately to see it resolved. Continue to send those if/when you get lag.

What do you mean,if I get lag I should do the same procedure and send it everytime?

A lot of people are giving ideas but not even 40% of the ammount are giving their contribution in game.

I never complained about the playerbase since I frankly don't care at all about that, I've got more important things to do than playing some modification that's a decade old.
I think it will increase after some time, this is just a phase, just like all the times before this.

Oh well I do care about the playerbase. I don't have a life, the gaming world is much better. Nobody can change my mind. The internet and virtual and gaming world is the best.

And people wonder why they get offended by my posts...

A business script, item script and plenty more is being worked on, and that will include ways to store items.

And this is why we don't need topics like this. Sit back and relax ( atleast the ones that are not scripting or helping ) and let the new scripts being made and introduced to us and after that we can see if that helps and if not then we will open a topic like this and talk again.

Guys, look.

1.We should make scripts and mappings that might get old players and groups back.

2.Admins should be more nicer to players, if an admin bans someones and that person gets really angry or his ban request gets denied, he might leave Argonath RPG, thus lowering Argonath's population. I am not saying admins shouldn't ban or kick people etc... But just explain to them what they did and not to do it again.

3. Freecops should be added, players can be freecops with no passport or license, but atleast make a script so a text box or something pops up and tells them the rules or how to behave or just some info.

4. I wouldn't like removing the trucking job, I have introduced a few new players, and they wanted to be truckers or cops. But mostly truckers.

5. Don't remove the public chat, that is our main way to communicate and have jokes and discuss things.

6.Make more scripts for criminals so people won't be bored.

7. Try doing something so that will players earn money easily or something, but the point is, alot of new players like and want money, so maybe make more jobs or smth. Just let them earn money easily or fastly.

Not if you tell them that money here is only an option and our main reason to play on Argonath is making friends and role-play.

Seriously, stop blaming this team for what they have done and what they are doing now. They have listened to us, they made the changes we wanted and we all saw what happened, that's a sign that our current playerbase is not ready for such changes yet. What's the big deal? You got many of those servers that aim to extreme realism, Argonath is more than that, at least for me.
The other issue is the MINDSET, we can ask all the scripts of this world but if we (I'm talking in general) don't change the attitude it will just be the same thing again over and over. Sitting here and saying everytime the same thing, RS4 had this while RS5 hasn't is PAST now, we are in the present. Also, the "old" stuff is coming back, the roadmap is visible to all, more transparent than this?

[Thom]

If you want to discuss about this matter and come with a conclusion gather and discuss properly. This topic has become a mess.

1.We should make scripts and mappings that might get old players and groups back.

I can say that from the mapping teams perspective, we're trying our best to listen to players and introduce new and interesting ideas.

Guys, we are on hosted tab, so that means we are getting more and more new players that want to see what Argonath has to offer. Every second a player joins. We need to introduce them and help them. We need to give them the maximum respect and attitude they need. We are getting many players, we need to show them that Argonath is awesome. If we don't introduce them or help them, they might leave. People, come on the server and introduce and help the new players, because new players are joining every second.
