Incredible news from SA-MP today:
http://www.sa-mp.com
San Andreas Multiplayer, aka SA-MP, was shutdown on the 24th of July 2007.
The SA-MP development team was not interested in further developing this mod as groups of people were dedicating themselves to destroying it.
The amount of work required to keep this mod in a playable state while they try to crash servers, develop exploits without following proper disclosure guidelines, accuse the team of not doing our part (especially when most of our network security related issues stem from other 3rd party libraries) have been demotivating and unnecessary for the team to handle.
Hackers did not fear any legal action from attacking the SA-MP game servers, as we are not officially backed by the developers of the game nor do we have any financial resources to fight back legally.
We apologise to our supporters for having to take this extreme action. It was alot of fun while it lasted. Perhaps... we'll meet again in another game, another time.
Argonath RPG will not stop our SA:MP server, and continue to develop the scripts. By adding the server to your favourites (see our server list) you will stil be able to play.
We urge everyone to write to the SA-MP team that they should not let hackers get the better of them. If needed we will support any legal actions, and we will take full legal action against any hacker who tries to attack us.
We request of all of our players to try and convince the SA:MP team to continue their work, and we offer to take it upon us to lead the project and to combine efforts of all SA:MP servers to defeat the attackers.
At the same time we will be looking out and speed up developments for new servers and projects.
Those who are with Argonath from the beginning know that we were attacked, crashed and flamed a lot and this has always lead to Argonath getting stronger and better. SA:MP might give up the fight, but Argonath will not.
