the death of samp? or the rebirth of samp?

[X~Shaheen~X]

well im sure all of you know that its one week left for gta IV but something that has been on my mind. what will happen to samp? since gta IV already has multiplayer for everything exluding rpg pretty much everyone is switching. there will be some without systems or want to rp but everyone else is gona be gone. now what will this do for us? well i wanted to ask you

will it bring a better group of samp loving players into argonath? or turn samp into a ghost town?

whats ur opinion?

Well judging on the latest developments with the 'official' list and the current downtime it could be both.
If SA:MP would continue as they were doing before, I would say that after two or three weeks people would be returning once they played the new modes and found that 16-people DM is very different from SA:MP.

[Aragorn]

About SA:MP master list - I do not know what is going on...

About GTA IV multiplayer - cmon - 16 slots its not serious...
Also as I understood they will have servers modes like missioned team dm... MTA SA already is an example how fast such things get bored...

I suppose the next scenario: 29 April all are "Hooray!"... 31 April "Nah I ll go better on SA:MP - much more fun"...
Also do not forget that MTA:VC server is still active and some times its full 26/26 slots...

History:
3 years ago the biggest slots amount on MTA:VC were 17 players servers... Servers were full and funny... So who knows probably 16 slots is not that bad beginning... But that time nobody even imagined that there can be 100 slots on servers... After SA:MP 100-200 slots people will be bored on GTA IV...

Actually we suppose that PC version will bring more slots multiplayer possibilities, as for Xbox it will lag (no dedicated servers - only home host), that is why they stopped on 16 slots...

So I doubt SA:MP will be dead... I expect that people will run from GTA IV servers back to SA:MP...

Well they have added a freeroam game mode also for GTA IV, but 16 players aint much to play with

[X~Shaheen~X]

u guys took a load off my mind i was pretty psised at gta IV and thinking it would break our community but i think its strong and that people we play sp then mp for a week and come back here 

[Dave]

The clan i am in on XBL, there are 16+ members, it sux for us....we would be fighting each other day in day out. I think Rockstar can learn alot from MTA and SA:MP

[punkemo]

I looked at the Rockstars Website, they are not bringing GTA IV out for PC so SA-MP will live on.  :hurray:

[Petey]

thats been the same with every GTA so far, it will come out for pc, they will just not announce it now

[MasterNeo]

naaa...i still wit SA:MP..saw the trailer..i hate it =.=..dunno why..my heart beats and say

'dont go there,u never seen sauron before...and u still dont ahieve ur purpose on SA:MP..to be the actives guys in the game'

[Towley]

well of course these servers are going to not be a great as GTA4 and such because that is a much better game than SA will ever be. But the thing is that dontcha think that once GTA4 gets goin they will also have a giant MP kind of thing here even know they will already have MP on the game? Hell in the future I see an Argonath GTA4 RP will 400 SERVER SLOT W00T!!!  :hurray:

[Maxy]

Not likely.. unless some other group of developers makes a giant IV:MP client for it, but it doesn't look like SAMP dev's are up to it..

[Fastshot]

well...like the 2 bosses said. when gta iv comes out everybody wants to have it and they'll but it...ok!
but aragorn or Gandalf i dont think they will play only 2-3weeks, it could be months...never forget the offline modus!
and its very fun to discover all things in that gtaiv world! but as the online mode will be sh*t i think most of players will be back soon

[Helljumper89]

 I never thought anything will happen to SAMP because of a new GTA4.. it has 16 players wow.. not really fun to play on a server with 16 people and whole liberty city to find and kill them..not really fun... Rockstar created GTA4 for the single player not the Multiplayer part.. GTA has always been about SP anyway.

 After people beat the shit out of GTA4 and maybe play some MP, I think people will be back on SAMP within 1 or 2 weeks. People who play on RP servers for SAMP will be back within days..

 Yes there will be some things to explore and have fun, but the new release of SAMP 0.2.5 is much cooler to me then GTA4.

[Aragorn]

All depends on how fast you will explore the GTA IV to be back to SA:MP... For one people it will be HeyWTFIamoff for others Howtopassthatdamnmission...
As for statistic of players - 99% of players never passed game on 100%... Mostly used saves and were more interested in cheats and modifications... So they will just pass a storyline... Also there are 30% of players who never even played GTA:SA and just joined the multiplayer... )))
