Don't care, you're choice. You are the server owners, we are the server's players/community.

You've made no mistakes so far, all the changes you have made on you're own decision so far have been good choices.

I voted never. Not because I think the SAMP team are corrupt somehow, because they need the cash. Kyeman said himself that they're paying hundreds of dollars to keep SAMP online. However, I think the new bunch of official servers will be looked down on by the SAMP community, I mean, read the original thread on the SAMP forums, most people are saying that the new official servers are bad, so I think it'll be a bad decision to be included in that spotlight.

Hm.

For me its hard to say - would I like to pay or not...
Being official actually did not bring anything except increasing traffic... That has a good side as new comers...
And some feeling to be proud that SA:MP developers decided we deserved to be official...

Now situation is changed... Instead of grand and great servers appeared small and less qualified servers... Should we set ourselves among them? Will it increase a respect to our server which we had while we were official? I think no, as SA:MP community is stable and regular, and all understand that for being official you just need to send money...

Also we have no any information will be developed 0.2.5 version and will there ever be other developing... With this it can look like they just want to make money before leaving SA:MP themselves... Here is other question: should we waste money on it and what it will bring to us as well...

Besides it server was removed from official list without any notification to the owners or contacting - this is "amazing" care about official servers...

So...
From one side - increasing traffic (here we will see how many servers will pay and will be in official list
From other side - We were official server when it was hard to be and we did not get any feelings that we are official... Developers never contacted us, never tried even to talk to us... Nobody cared... If we shall pay we will be among junk servers, that really did nothing to make their servers great and just get up cos they paid to the developers...

Will that beat increasing traffic advantage or not? I have no answer...
I wanted a respectable server that gained respect by our work... Since now looks like nobody cares about it... Money buy everything...

You found paradise in Argonath. You had a good game, you made good friends. The admins protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Aragorn, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect.

Well, from the payment point of view, alot of the non-official servers will go "Look! They paid for that, what a bunch of sados"



Know what i mean?

I wouldn't really care if the server went unofficial again, because there's too many new players that break the rules now and stuff. Although it's nice when the server is official so it will get more popular and it's more like an honour to play in it. :P

We should be in it because there is only good things when we are official many players we get but more rule breakers and more regular players. If we need to pay money i will donate for sure.

Not active in-game anymore, checking forum from time to time.

I voted "Never" too...
Argonath was 'famous' even before it became official... There were much players playing on it...
But I will try to donate something if needed  ;)

Official = trusted by multiplayer developers

Now this meaning disappeared...

It has disappeared and has been replaced with the concept of basic bribery......

I wouldn't go as far as to call it bribery. Sure, there are other ways to make up for some of the cash lost running the SAMP masterservers, but with GTA IV coming out in less then 10 days now, there will be less support for SAMP, but someone has to keep it running.

I've already stated my opinion, though.

..I think being on the official list has helped bring in new players ..I think people are forgetting that there was a big drop in players just before we were on the official list and that sometimes there were NO players online that was bad ,the 'problems' now:  hackers can be banned new players can learn

BUT I voted never because I dont think you should give in to blackmail ..If it was a one time fee ok but 40 monthly just to be on the list ? thats bullshit

its like Anto sais SA:MP is a FREE community thats what makes it so good. the SAMP team arent the only who put in a lot of time ..so do our owners , scripters admins and ofcourse the players without whom there would be no samp WHATS NEXT? Paying for the client ? I say stop it here

Welcome to MTA:SA :)

Doesn't work on "my" vista.

I even tried everything MTA suggested didn't work.

So, Welcome back to SA:MP Vista users!

:D ;)
