New Players

[ZCFC]

Hello, I recently joined the server, as a complete new person to GTA:SA Online, I played SA of course when it first came out on PS2 and played it a hell of a lot. But decided to pick it up a few days ago.

I Joined your server, and it seemed great it first, but to be honest there is a huge impression that you don't want new players.

There seems to be no distinct way to earn money at first, and there is a large amount of people looking to scam a new player.

For example, I was looking for some work and stupidly, I accepted to enter someone casino to triple my money, I then proceeded to win, and never received my cash, and so left. The guy then got me to come back in, which once again charged me a ridiculous amount to come back in, and then once again, did not pay me.

I then mentioned this in general chat, and the general feedback was a quote I will never forget, 'Its not scamming as its just to new players who no one cares about'.

I mean seriously, the entire time I go round, I go as a driver no one wants a taxi anywhere near me. I try doing a flight service, as I am a brilliant pilot on that game, and no one is interested. So now I am stuck to a ridiculously low amount of money, with little prospects and a huge inability to improve the situation as no oone seems to even try to help a new player.

I really like the look of this server, and I will still continue to come on, but the attitude of the server, I feel, could be at least a little more helpful towards a newer player as well as existing ones. When you are going round with 2k in your pocket and people are chatting about buying up 13mil houses, and you can't buy anything, It;s depressing.

What are you trying to ask here?

Come work for me. I'll make you rich.

I'm sorry for this experience. You must have met a lot of bad apples who make the community look bad. Remember, if one is trying to scam you in casinos, you are always open to create a court case against them. Scamming new players not only is against the rules, but is also against good moral and thus, those who attempted to do this should be banned on spot.

Now about money making. You are free to apply to many businesses here on Argonath, for more information, please refer to this forum. Many new (and old) corporations and workforces are available to chose from. And if needed, I can pay back for your monetary loss as that is very unexceptional from anybody who does that to new players.

Also, remember to use the /report function on those, who you feel, are mistreating you on server. The available administrators will take action as mistreating newcommers is a serious offense.

Please remember that not everyone on the server is friendly. Among the good are always the bad. If you have any questions or any concerns, please contact me via forum PM function, or in-game (username: Nathan_Aldebourne). If I am not available to help, feel free to ask using the /h (message) function in game. If you feel that one is mistreating you and they tend to get away with it, use /report [id] [reason] function or send a message to the managers at [email protected].

Again, sorry for the bad welcome from our players, I hope that this shows an example that those who mistreat others shall be punished for their actions.

Sincerely,
Nathan

Pfft, I got rejected from SA:MP the first time I connected too. Notably by Wash Corleone. You'll get over it, and once you do you'll find Argonath is a great place to spend time.

This is where 'missions' would come in useful.

Bro, you won't make any real money while being a taxi driver, you'll lose a lot of time and will have to pay for the fuel aswell.
Your best bet is to either find some good cops that you can patrol with, the ones that roleplay. Or go to a criminal group, they take care of each other, the good ones anyway.

I'll suggest you head in the direction of the 58th or the Ancelotti.

Also, partake in events and always have money on you to join the lotto.
I won 1400000$ in two days by winning some events and then winning the lotto the next day.

I myself have tried to roleplay a bodyguard/private security lately, and the interest isn't really there for anyone. I even though I pay for all of my weapons myself and such, providing vehicles like the Huntley or a Maverick. I usualy spend more on /ads than what I earn.

It is a shame that Argonath doesn't have any 'missions' that players can make some money off. You can't always rely on making money off other players. If players can make steady money from script, they will be more prone to spending it on other players and not just themselves.

Lol'd about Antonio post however you should work on Ancelotti or join in NBA . Ancelotti- San Fierro mafia who supporting newcomers and giving them a job and a chance improve and show them skills in field whitout begin scared to get scammed or wat so ever. NBA- The LS Idlewood Roleplay gang . Gona teach you how to RP perfectly,gona enjoy your time roleplay whit ballas,have a chance act like real balla and even learn them funny wierd language ,gona get awards from Frank Hawk for doing a great job . Or also you can join ARPD if you love to be in law side. ARPD,SAPD- The Argonath police departments are most support in law side such as LSPD,SFPD,LVPD you can allways join organise patrols see how everything need going right,learn and enjoy your time at law side also you gain money for this type of intresting roleplaying scripted job.

" SERVER Y U HATE NEW PLAYERS AND NO HELP THEM?"

3/10 - poor attempt, please elaborate.

Hi,

First of all yes it is hard to earn money on Argonath. That is the idea of the game, as by making it harder people might value what they have more.
As for a casino that does not pay you, please report. Casino owners are responsible for their staff, and if they fail to pay the owner can be disowned, without compensation. If it was not casino staff, then it will fal under the scamming of new players, which is strictly forbidden.

Unfortunately we have a bunch of players that feel the need to offend others. We do try to teach them manners, but they keep showing their ugly faces (do not mean the member pic section here  ).

Life in Argonath can be hard at first, but that makes it worth wile to survive.

Some of us have been playing for a few years now, we have built up some cash, and a lot if that, it takes time, you shouldnt just join and expect everything to be there.

When I first joined, I rolled with the i9 guys, they taught me to shoot cops. Then I got to the wilson gang and Vercetti and they taught me how I could role play and stuff. The money came from paydays as I didn't know any other way. Then I found out where I could grow weed and where I can order heroin, since then I got a stable income. I don't care about money anymore, I give it away to good friends whenever I like to.

It's not that hard to make money, though it goes the fastest the illegal way. Accept Romeo's offer and ask him if he could learn you some RP, the commands and stuff.

I would like to teach you as well, so if you'd like, just come to East Los Santos any time and if you see any "Cesario Estrada" around, ask him. I'll teach you some stuff.

What's your IG name?

Jump in a taxi and cruise down to "9th Alley" , some guys there will surely be of assistance to you.

Cheers,
