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

[Bogomil]

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.

I am sorry to hear that and I totally feel you. Unfortunately the vision of the server is decided by incompetent people who enjoy playing alone.

Personally, what keeps me from joining the server is the low playerbase. No point playing when there's only 5-6 players online, interaction is way too limited.  Otherwise, the script itself is not that bad in my opinion. Can't speak about management, as I haven't had any problems with staff in quite some time. Too bad, as Cutter stated, I will remember all the good times I had here. Perhaps advertising the server would help (if it pays up, cost-wise).

Cheers!

Honestly I keep checking every now and then, I've been here since 2008 so this is a second home for me.
University got me working my ass off, I have a year and a half and then I'm done for a while (break time)
I don't have the game anymore, got a version that isn't compatible with SA-MP so might try getting an other one later

How was it that that vision changed..?

Gandalf and Ron had a vision of having a simple, relaxed environment for players. Not one with anything complex, which I felt it became back then (hence the rooting for rs 4 related scripts). My point then was that we didn't need a heck load of jobs, crafting or what not to have 100+ players in 2010-12/13.  New players need friendly people; not a lot of scripts or rules. This being the vision I grew up with (in Argonath terms), I couldn't disagree more and hence I left.

But this place is very special for me and will be so

Well, maybe the staff should plan a big Meetup event type thing where all of us can be back again together for a day atleast. No one wants to join a server with 0 players playing. Maybe this Meetup event will make the server active for a day. If this Meetup event day thing worked, then maybe plan a Meetup weeks where we all can be back together and enjoy.
.
I don't know if this thing will even work, but it is worth trying.
.
People will get to know that there will be people playing at that time of the day. And most importantly, all active staff members should also join and roleplay with us, make sure you guys aren't busy in admin duties.

Quote this, and +1 if you support.

One more thing, why not to extend this community. Not by its name but by its players. I mean, players active here should play other games together too, because SA is old. And, together we can raid different games and join Argonath too 😁, I mean, we should contact each other and plan a time to play. Argonath, and different games too. I hope you're feeling me.

[AK47]

Well the Svenssons used to play a lot of other games when we were a bit younger, and we still do from time to time! I play with a lot of other people from here aswell!

With this I agree.. so much more scripts are implemented. The jobs are fun I guess, but just a lot more complexity as you shared here.
Even when alot of DM'ers were on servers I still RPed as a freecop without any script. That was just fun, didn't care about the killing money.

Just makes things heavy when stuff like farming (in some areas) are for members-only e.g. with respect to all.

[Stivi]

I can list admins and managers that have not the slightest idea of how some rules work because they don't know how the situation developed so that we had rules/scripts introduced, they know jack shit. Don't listen to them, go read them yourself, it's that simple. Btw a player compiled the rules list, HQ is just editing the post.

I said this in June 2019 xD

[Huntsman]

1) Life, growing up, adult responsibilities, leaving time for only one Argo server, which means VCMP
2) I don't like to play with myself. Atleast not in that way. The refusal to see the reality and pretend that 10 players in a map like San Andreas is "fine" and "things are getting better" is something that I can't share with the rest of the still active players, unfortunately.
3) The whining culture that was in SAMP ever since its beginning. Sorry. Even Aragorn said it himself once 

[OneLiterBeer]

SA is just too old. I've actually never ever finished the game cause I couldn't care less about SP. It's all SA:MP baby! And it's gone now.

[Bogomil]

Hm, you were right. I owe you apologize. Only 22 people don't like the staff team / HQ work.

I would believe it if they actually left during the current hq time. I like the other 22 percent and the comments of people aswell, they are more convincing, especially Cutt3r's and Huntman's. Locked since the poll is over.
