Hola,

We discussed this before I left, and while I'm not really back or at least as in much of a capacity as I was before this will be what I am working on. The idea has been formed mainly based on player feedback.

First and foremost: we will NOT have a pay to win system, although paying does give advantages none of those will give perks in combat or in most situations. In addition, you can earn every single premium item/reward without paying in-game. Typically via developer hosted events.

The first premium items to be implemented will be certificates, these include free name changes, custom join locations (1 month), and allowing the use of titles.

Free name changes are probably self explanatory, but custom join locations will change your country to whatever you want (within approval range). Titles, will be text under your name that are unlocked with achievements. Having used a title certificate, you can display those titles. In addition, any member who purchases any reward in the testing phase will receive an exclusive title.

Titles do provide enhancements, depending on the achievement. Example, having the "Notorious" achievement title displayed will increase earned notoriety by a percentage. This only affects actively displayed titles, so you can only have one.

Note: we will always allow players to earn premium rewards in-game, paying will only be a shortcut.

Our initial system will be manual during it's testing phase, an automated system will be developed alongside the premium system.

Before you ask...

What about VIP subscriptions?

At this point, we have no estimates on when we'll be launching a VIP system. Right now the founder package is available at: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3918306 and is a monthly based subscription.

Average cost of premium items?

Typically less than a few euros.

When can we start buying?

Sometime in September, the Platinum Gift Box with some of these items will be available in an update Sept. 1st, and some of them maybe usable. Note the vehicle voucher listed is NOT a premium item. Vehicles and properties will not be a premium reward. Ever.

We're open to suggestions. Not unbans though. Sorry... although would be bill gates in a month.


We'll be using, for now https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3918306.

The rate is $1 = 1,000 coins (coins are the premium currency, not in-game currency)

Do these money go to developers or hosting companies?

Mr Cofiliano how can you deny that we had any relation or intercourse, while you are prosecuting me?

If you use Patreon, they go directly to the developers.

Another system coming later this month, will benefit the hosting.

so you choose.

Shouldn't priority be given to hosting and excess funds are then awarded to developers?

I rather pay developers, Gandalf got hosting covered. But then again if one pays I expect some work getting done, much faster than usual.

The more payments, the more coffee developers can buy, the more coffee they can buy, the more that gets converted into code.

The name changes will be 5x (so five free name changes) for 1,000. The rest is still being determined but all less than a few thousand coins (few euros)

Developers be like

I believe Argonath will be back as soon as the exams are over.
SA:MP server is currently in a decent state with a stable player base of around 20-25 people on a daily basis.
