Advertising

[TiMoN]

The idea of having an advertisement team is great, but nobody's doing their job. Why? The server could be more populated if people were using the SA:MP Advertisement section. I know Traser posted one last month, but if anybody read it, it was very uninviting/uninteresting, and probably got no one to join. So I decided to create a format of my own which highlights the main interesting features of the server which will attract players. It's kinda unfinished and would need a touch of some experienced photoshopper.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Welcome to Argonath RPG, a world of its own. We are a community that has been around since 2006 and have created multiple communities across different games. This is mainly about the SA-MP community, but you're very welcome to check out our other gaming communities and servers!



<Freedom of Roleplay logo>
Here at Argonath RPG, we care to provide a unique experience for everyone! Which means that you're free to roleplay on any level you want. If your goal is to earn a lot of money and sit in a mansion in Vinewood, then so be it. Maybe you want to roleplay a columbian drug kingpin whose brother is in the San Andreas Police Department? That's also very interesting. There's no limit to what you can achieve here, even if roleplay is not your goal. After all, it's players who decide what they want to be, not the administrators who set a minimum roleplay level for the server.



<Firefighting Job logo>

Firefighting is usually boring on most servers, just standing around in a fire station waiting for a roleplay call. All of that after submitting an application on a forum and waiting for an even more boring and long process. At Argonath RPG, we thought of better! Now anyone can become a firefighter! You just pay a visit to the fire station in one of the cities and enter the fire extinguisher icon, choose your desired skin and viola, you're the newest firefighter in the team! Remember when I mentioned boredom of standing around in the fire station? That doesn't happen here, every thirty or so minutes, the fire alarm will ring and all firefighters from every department will rush to the pager. The pager will inform you of the location of the fire and you'll have to get there to extinguish it! Once you make it there, grab your fire extinguisher and start spraying the fire sources. The more fires you extinguish the better your pay will be but teamwork is always mandatory, so unless others are actively helping you, you might up burned into ashes for your greed!




<Police Officer Job logo>

Being a cop is a lot of fun, but do you know what isn't? Waiting for your application to be accepted, which would take way more than a day. Here at Argonath RPG, any player with a passport can become a police officer. All they have to do is take a police test, which includes regular knowledge questions and what to do in situations. Along with a shooting and a driving test. After passing, you can now get on police duty and enforce the law around the city. You will have the ability to issue warrants(suspect players) and arrest wanted criminals. You will receive a small reward if you kill a wanted criminal, but if you manage to cuff and arrest them, you will earn an even bigger reward!




<Gambling Logo>

Earning money is hard and takes a lot of time, we all know that. But what would make that job easier? Gambling! Here at Argonath RPG,
our developers have created an amazing way for players to bet with their hard-earned money and luck with other players. Simply walk up
to a casino and create a blackjack table and have your friend join in for a chance of either you doubling their bet! If you're not really a fan of blackjack then you'll still have fun playing other games such as slots, hazard and good ol' russian roulette. And if you're one of those who dare challenge law enforcement then you'll find illegal gambling a no-hastle, there you'll be able to organize dice games with those who can't be bothered going to casinos.



<Groups System Logo>

Playing games is fun, but do you know what's even more fun? Playing games with friends! At Argonath RPG, our developers have created a unique group system for everyone to use, from law enforcement groups to companies and street gangs.Players can request a group from a Manager(Level 3 Administrator) after proving their activity both in-game and on forum, the manager will provide them with a group for the leader to customize to their will. Do you want it to be a clan? Sure, a criminal group? Granted! There are three types of groups; Normal, Recognized and Official. Normal groups are fresh or groups created to unite a group of friends. Recognized groups are normal groups who have been noticed by the administration team for their advanced roleplay skills and level, they receive some script support for HQs and such. Official groups are those who are considered one of the core factors in the community and usually receive a lot of support through script.




<Properties Logo>

You worked hard and you stacked piles of money, maybe it's time to spend it on something? You can purchase houses across San Andreas, and you could buy more than one if you're into multihousing sort of thing. After buying it, you can use the furniture system detailed below to customize it. You can also add a name for your house so anyone who passes by can read your opinion or warning sign.

If you want to make even more money, perhaps you should buy a business too? There are many types of businesses in Argonath RPG, from Ammunitions and Clothes Shops, to Bars and Nightclubs. You get to set your own entry fee and you will earn money based on what people buy and how many people pay your entry fee(if you decided to set one). As with houses, you can buy as many businesses as you want, as long as you can afford it and the business license.



<Furniture Logo>

You bought the house of your dreams, you take a step in and realise that it's empty. What happened? Did somebody steal your furniture? No! That's the furniture system in Argonath RPG, any player will have the ability to buy furniture from stores and use them in their own houses. Do you want to build a fort out of chairs and couches? Or maybe you want a small but very advanced house? Your imagination is the limit! And for those who don't want to spend time customizing their houses, you can simply change into the default interior by using the available commands.



<Drugs Logo>

No criminal system is complete without drugs. We've made sure of that in Argonath RPG and added two different types of drugs for you to enjoy or make money out of selling. One is weed which is grown at special fields all around San Andreas. When used, it provides you with health directly after using it. It can be grown by purchasing seeds from the drug market or other players then finding one of the fields specified to grow at. After planting, come back in eight or so minutes to harvest what you planted, but becareful as other players may find your growing point and try to hustle you out of it, or steal it when you're not there. The other is heroin, a very rare and mostly unused substance. It can only be ordered from drug cartels by finding a heroin delivery spot and typing the specified command. A few minutes later your package will arrive and you'll be able to pick it up, heroin is more expensive than weed because of its rarity and selling it is a lot harder.

The drug market is the birthplace of all of this madness, it's where drugs come and go. From there, players can purchase seeds to grow and harvest weed. Leaders of recognized and official groups are able to sell high quantities of either weed or heroin for set prices to the drug market, this is where prices on the streets originate from.



<The Black Market Logo>

Ever dreamt of being the most dangerous criminal alive? Well now you can with the notoriety system. For each two times you escape the police, you'll receive a level of notoriety. At level four, you will be able to access the black market, from there you can purchase a variety of weapons ranging from RPGs to Car Bombs and Molotovs! All of these high-caliber weapons are expensive and require different levels of notoriety, so be careful not to lose them!

Great work TiMoN! Seeing that would make me want to join Argonath!

Where's notoriety, slots, hazard, dice, bio-chemical weapons, flu, all these new updates as well? Oh, sneak peak of the Phone GUI? Internet? Although I've told you your work is pretty nice, nothing compared to the ad in samp forums, I still find stuff that are missing from it. We can't include all however, so, can you add a poll to your post and see what people would like to see most? I don't find being able to purchase a property in a RP server unique or even interesting. That's basic stuff to me.


@Traser Get to photoshopping, ok?

To make sure you're never left out, the developers of ArgonathRPG have linked the CBR ( Civilian Band Radio ) system to an external program called Telegram, with it, you can always be up-to-date ( and participate! ) with conversations on your CB Radio.

Before judging a whole team, try to look at yourself, what have you done for this community?, i tried creating multiple ideas, though people don't advertise but mainly join for the rank.

I'm not trying to shit on your team or undermine your work, sure I may have not contributed anything noteworthy but that doesn't mean I can't. If the people you're hiring are there for the rank only then tbey shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

Hello Timon,

I'm happy to see you're willing to put effort in projects such as advertising our community. If you really want to help us, perhaps you could submit an appilication to the Argonath Marketing Team. If this won't happen for any reason, you can still assist us since we're always open for people assisting us by achieving the same goal: Bringing new and more players to Argonath RPG.

I only had to go through 74 ( -25/30 ) pages of posts to find these:

Some more previews (including the menus)





You can trial the system now (without saving) on the test server using the /wear command. (limited to 1 object)

It's not perfect but it's fresh from the lab

[Mikal]

Wow they look great!

[Antonio.]

Sick topic to be honest.

[Devin]

Some worthwhile information added. 

[Alfreddo.]

Beast topic.

[beLTa]

Good effort you put into it, awesome work!

Added the info about gambling, I'll make another part for the upcoming features when I'm on PC.
I think we need to keep the property section since not many servers allow you to purchase businesses and because it feels like an introduction to the furniture section.
