WILL WE KEEP ONLY MONEY ???

[rJCaiG]

Developers, I can not believe you are even thinking about this. I reckon there's about 100 people on this server with over 150k, which they WORKED for. 100+ people, working their asses off for 100k+, then just like that, the server goes all emo about new players joining...Sorry for any body I may be dissing, but, as Tice said, new players join every day. We do not reset the server then, so maybe we should treat this upgrade as "another day" ?

[Kaltsu]

As mentioned, we are talking about a major update here.
Let's put it this way, which one would you like more? To keep your money or SA:MP 0.2?

[RiX[LV]]

All want keep money and SA:MP 0.2!

[Tice]

As mentioned, we are talking about a major update here.
Let's put it this way, which one would you like more? To keep your money or SA:MP 0.2?

Why should a major update make a difference? The update has no reason to require us to lose all our money.

[Jakez]

Are we 100% sure that we'll lose our money in SA:MP 0.2?

[Aragorn]

The update has no reason to require us to lose all our money.

It has... In version 0.1b you did not need to work or roleplay really to get money... Also all missions of version 0.1b were totally abused by regulars (rpg veterans)... As developers have no any wish to check all 2500 accounts logs who abused when and how - they can make a reality a disicion to reset all accounts...

We do not want some abusers to lead the finances of Argonath SA:MP...

To those who screams, that people will leave server:

1. If virtual money are more important for you then the community of server - you can go right now, even if money will not be resetted...
2. Developers have a lot of experiences before opening their own servers... The experience says - servers do not lose players cos of resetting money... So it is a bullshit... I was one of those players, who lost money twice in internet game cos admin resetted accounts... I earned back what I wanted in 2 weeks...
3. Once again: if the earning money will be totally changed - all who earned money in easy way of 0.1b - will lose their account money...

Agreed.. Ron just lock the topic.. ppl will only say the same thing over and over again and argue with you.. :conf:

[Jakez]

Good good, i understand now.

[[GSF]Niall]

I think money  should be kept because as someone said before you get so far in the game for it to be resetted? And then 0.3 and 0.4 might come out and the same thing will happen.

[Tice]

It has... In version 0.1b you did not need to work or roleplay really to get money...

That's true, but how will it change in 0.2? People find ways around stuff.

Also all missions of version 0.1b were totally abused by regulars (rpg veterans)... As developers have no any wish to check all 2500 accounts logs who abused when and how - they can make a reality a disicion to reset all accounts...

People will just start abusing again to get their money back, they will always find ways around scripts.

1. If virtual money are more important for you then the community of server - you can go right now, even if money will not be resetted...

Well, money IS a big part of Argonath, and makes the community what it is. I never said it's more important then the community, but I think resetting it all will damage it alot.

2. Developers have a lot of experiences before opening their own servers... The experience says - servers do not lose players cos of resetting money... So it is a bullshit... I was one of those players, who lost money twice in internet game cos admin resetted accounts... I earned back what I wanted in 2 weeks...

Fair point, but it's the fact that people really don't see the need to earn back their money, and would rather stay with what they've got. It just seems unneccecary.

3. Once again: if the earning money will be totally changed - all who earned money in easy way of 0.1b - will lose their account money...

But think of the concequinces of doing that - people will be desperate to earn all their lose cash back. They will try anything that can earn cash quick, and abuse it.

edit: I dunno, I guess this should be locked. Everyone will just keep arguing...

[Aragorn]

All abusers will be banned as money cheaters...
Admins will have more possibilities to check everyone on server...
Missions will be changed... And it means they will be changed with the experience of the 0.1b abuse...

[Gandalf]

Talking about checking accounts.
we have 15.400 platers accounts on SA:MP (all 2007).
of them 7.544 were active last month.
and 633 were active last 24 hours.

The resetting of money and user accounts is not something we thought of today.
To make the new scripts do what we want we need a new player database, where we will store other and different data.
With the experience we have there will be new scripts, built from 0 lines. So if we need to save money we must read old accounts and save them in to new ones. If we do this for all players, we get a lot of files that will never be used. If we do it for limited time, what if an older player comes back ? We could make a convert command for players to do it by themselves, but that would need a lot of testing and delay the whole script making.
As we are now designing a new system to our wishes, this system will be used in the future and will be made compatile with future versions.

I got another idea , JUST RESTART ALL ACCOUNT , it will bea  new start with 0.2 YOu'll fight to work to get money to buy..it won't be cool (today you start the 0.2 server and after 24 hours all things are bought!Not cool

Why do you complicate that much ?Do scripts and stuff and restart all accounts like i said
0.2 =a new beggining for all

[TomazK]

I hope that you guys will
find a peaceful solution.

Well, OK. I guess if we have more chances of earning money other then being a cop then people will come to terms with it easier.
