A mass email was sent out a year and a half ago after a situation which happened in the community and wasn't accepted well by the inactive players, getting numerous complaints on our forum mail. (And even a guy threatening to sue us.)

Let's be honest, that email was fucking stupid and should have never been sent out by a person that shouldn't be sending emails.

I guess the problem in that case was with the composition of the email and/or the position of the sender? :lol:

Personally, I'm okay with the idea of a well-crafted email from Argonath global HQ. So many past players had good memories here, and I'm sure some of them would not mind coming home for the 10th Anniversary at least.

If some inactive person gets the email and complains, then boo fucking hoo. They registered on this forum with their email, allowed admins to email them, and did not take the precautions to disalllow emails from Argo when they left. Unless we are encouraging players to do illegal shit IRL or are selling suspicious-looking penis enhancement pills, then there shouldn't be grounds for a legitimate court case. Welcome to the internet.

The most important part is interacting with others and meeting people from around the world.

I assume you never received or saw the email, it was basically just a massive rant complaining about everything which is extremely annoying to receive and rather demotivating.

Well, we can always try a more positive oriented message. There's lots of message boards that send mass "We miss you!" messages. And it can't be any worse than a "Hot russian singles!" email. Maybe create a nicely formatted e-mail with all the new features for each of our servers highlighted.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

On a more serious note, I saw the original message that was emailed, and yes I have to agree it was stupid. Good intentions, but very negative-oriented language.

Still, I'm hoping for a mass email for the upcoming 10th anniversary at the least. One that is more positive (maybe "we miss you!" too) oriented, and this would be a great addition:

Getting close to the birthday now guys. Has any sort of email announcement been considered? This is certainly one time of the year where an email is without a doubt acceptable...

In fact, I'd be pretty surprised and disappointed if one wasn't put together.

I just noticed this topic, but if you guys need anything on the statistics.ferocia.eu page, I'll be glad to help.

Thanks mate! Where do the statistics get pulled from? A service of some kind or straight out the DB?

Just a couple of graphs from here: http://monitor.sacnr.com/server-1671653.html
I apologise for the terrible photoshop paint efforts, the graphs in one of the pictures were to different scales...

60 day average player count per day:


60 day peak player count per day:


I'm no data scientist, but this shows that on average we're actually seeing what looks like a positive trend from the start of May to now, which is promising!

It's very easy, I just save every 5 minutes who is ingame in my own database.I must have around 3 million records about now from all the servers of Argo. From that I can make all kinds of conclusions. There are still statistics I can get out of that info that I haven't posted yet, like the average count per day :p

Average count per day would be awesome if you wouldn't mind haha, saves me stitching together the graphs from the SA:MP monitor!

Again, I'd like to reiterate that an email announcing the 10th anniversary would be good... it's a real milestone for a community. I can't see any way that this can offend anyone.

Or is it simply that nobody has the capability to be able to do it?

Just going to leave this here... the numbers aren't exact, as I've had to estimate the numbers from the screenshots of the graphs from here: http://monitor.sacnr.com/server-1671653.html
The numbers are reasonable accurate however, and are more than accurate enough for you to get the big picture.

Just noticed that we are once again no longer in the current filter on the SACNR Monitor. Please refer to the first row in the table on the front page.

Could a scripter/developer please make a modification to the script name to reflect the "RP" status if possible? I haven't been ingame for a while but I'm at least assuming that's the line we're still following  :D
