What do you think ?
As you know we are paying a lot of server ans website bills, and this will add to it. While it's our hobby and we feel proud to offer a home to our players, we must think before we continue to take away money from our own budget. SA:MP has decided to no longer support things by their current means, probably as they are slowly moving away from developing and just want to keep SA:MP running with minimal cost.
They were rewarded for this idea by a number of server owners (some who told 'any jackass can be official' and then quickly put down their cash), instead of turned down.
If we want to be back on the official list, there will be no other option as to pay.

Do not roleplay a veteran on discord, be a veteran in game.

I voted for "Yes, and I want to contribute for it".

I think that being an official server is a great thing for Argonath RPG as it attracts new players.

It's just a waste of money, the server had a lot of players when the server wasn't official.

I wish i could help pay for it, but i don't have a credit card, and i just don't want to run the risk of my money getting stolen.

I voted 'Never!'

Not because of the hard admin work.

Not because of the 99% raise in hackers, Dm'ers and flamers.

Only because I do not think it is fair that it has to come down to money that we can have a 'better' server, I have my principles, I joined SA:MP knowing it was a free community, where players and server owners only had to pay for the hosting only, not to be on some 'List'

It seems SA:MP has gotten corrupt.

Kill me for my opinion if you wish

My opinion is 'Never' aswell...

I totally disagree with the fact they are asking for $40 a month. This is very expensive and it does not offer anything, exept a place in a list, where probably will be 499 more servers. It was good when there were 15 servers. Now they will be 500 and it won't be anything special.

Everyone can give $40 a month and make his server official, even if it has LVDM script ... It is not worth it anymore. If it happens, I will give my best to support the server with money, but I personally think all the SA:MP developers think about is money...


Beware from the Wolf...

SA:MP has followed the path of some other games, and not only paid ones.
Many games have so called 'ranked' servers where you have to pay to the game developers to be on the list.
Including Americas Army, a free game but to be 'ranked' or 'preferred' server you have to pay them.

SA:MP sees it a s a way to guarantee the future of their master list, and this way the future of the game.

I voted never.

Simple as this, we should not pay for it. Even tho I understand it how the SAMP owners think when they made it.
If I had money, I would probably vote yes and pay for it myself, but that's not the case.

I aint santa... Ive got something for the bad bitches too.
