[SA:MP] What's the reason for your inactivity?

[Bogomil]

Just out of curiosity what the statistics are.

I'm no longer interested in SAMP / GTA SA after playing it for a decade.

That and the fact that the mod itself has been abandoned by Kalcor.

Work, work, more work, and distracted by other games.

Get up and get cleaned up. Drive an hour to work, work 12 hours,  drive an hour home. Play a bit, then sleep. And repeat for 6 days.

Personally for me, I just fell out of the whole "gaming" phenomenon. I have a lot of IRL stuff to do. Work, college...etc. I haven't played ANY games for the past 6 months or perhaps even more. I just come through the forums every now and then to see how ya'll are doing.

Asi remember similar type of topic was made a few months ago and was locked because it wasn't made by division managers, maybe I'm wrong...

Community was not what it was from when I was a regular (2008-2014)

And, moved onto more interesting games.

Really do miss the old times though.

No you’re right. It was shutdown because we don’t want to have that conversation anymore without HQ blessing.

The lack of roleplay and mostly the complicated gameplay was my only problem.
It requires a lot of time to read and understand the hundreds of commands to be able to play properly.

After the last ban, need I say more? Like, at some point it's enough.

Though it is also true that the last two years I haven't been as active due to IRL taking priority.

I wish i knew the exact reason, but the best i can describe it is that these days i don't find enjoyment in playing alone (without being in discord with friends or whatever) casually anymore, i guess it's because i've been playing games for so long i no longer see the appeal in it anymore. I do however play (other games) with friends i have made online in a game i played for a number of years during and after my time on argonath.

It's just that if i see that none of my friends are online i won't even bother to start a game, it just feels like work, boring, i dont know how to describe it.
One could argue that playing samp is not really playing "alone" since it's a multiplayer game, however i never really connected with my ingame friends outside of the game, i remember all the good times i've had in this community but i also forgot a lot of it, and let's be honest, i've probably been forgotten too by most people and a lot of the friends i had in this game have left as well. Maybe that is one reason, playing this game for so many years and then coming back as a stranger.

Other than that, i also have a lot less free time due to my studies and i also picked up a new hobby since a shooting range opened 10 minutes from my house, a lot of my free time goes into that now.

Sorry for this disorganized rant, i really had no idea what to write and this was the result, i just had to write something since i end up reading this forum every 6 months or so but i never actually write anything.

[Spike.]

University and life ultimately have taken most of my time, along with the fact that playing the same game for years eventually grows tiresome.

Like many other people here it's simple to see that people can only enjoy the same game for so long, and sooner or later work creeps up more and more into a person's schedule.

I wrote a long post and the site timed out. 

I came back in April 2019 to try and add some time to the server that I have loved growing up. I have made great friends here. But in June 2019 I was told that the vision of the server which I quoted at that point, was no more relevant. And this was said by a SAMP Manager so it was credible.

This was unacceptable for me. How can a vision change? It is something that is fundamental and if that did change, I have no place here. It would not be the Argonath I had known and felt great to play on. Accordingly, I left.

Will remember the good times.
