A little bit of History

[Tai]

I know you all see it growing, the server the community. But not everyone knows much it actually did grow as the most game during that progress. I want that you see actually how big the changes been in last time and what else will follow!

The project based on IV:MP started with Traser in first point, he watched the progress of IV:MP closely and asked for help during that me and David Omid joined the team. David already left due to the owners saying IV:MP is illegal and does break the EULA.

We keept on watching, along with first release of IV:MP, I was so funny to write to Rock Stars Support if such if even legal. I totaly forgot about that eMail I sent, till I talked once with Ronnel. I checked for a answer and yes there it was, it started with "Yes it is legal...", which made me flood Ronnel and jump like a gummy bear around my room!

So I started scripting Agent joined the Development for a short period as he wanted to take part, but disappeared later on.

We already accepted Admin shortly before release of first scripts, which was everything we could do, till today we try to make them at least working till new scripts come.

We recruited Carbon as Manager, he helped a lot in the beginning with placing cars, finding positions. Due to activity reasons he got removed from the team later on. (check below)

Since the first of November the Server is official released and started growing. More Admins been accepted. Traser got retired from his position as Manager.

Since Traser got removed, IcyAero got promoted to Manager Position. Together we promoted 2 other Managers Void and DellStorm choosen by their great responsibility on Server and inside the Administration Team. Carbon got retired by Management shortly after it.

As RS2 seems to become a big project, the development was expand along the Admin Team. While we had more then 10 Administrators and Moderators in server, we also have now official Graphic Artists who serve the new Scripts with needed Graphics.

On most days IV:MP Argonath does count about 15 players playing in the main times. On weekend the activity is much more.
The Development Team does include so far about 2 General Managers who are responsible for Administration Staff Members, 4 Scripters and 2 Graphic Artists.

Till Summer '11 the Admin Team will be expand to 27 Administrators and Moderators, like it was decided in Development in 2010. Like decided the work on the new Script Version (Rock Stars IV 2.0) has been started. As long IV:MP does raise it's possible amount of members ingame, as espected, we espect a huge amount of new regular players on RS2.

I hope you know now how much afforts we put into this server, it's membership and the community.
Every single player, is reason for the massive growing of it and every single change we make.

Kind of Regards, Tai

Quite an educating post here,
even though I am an administrator on here, I have never really been too sure about how it all began as I was not too active at the start of the IV:MP Development on Argonath.


This is a good way of showing the players and all that dont know how the growth of the server has actually increased over time.

Haha Tai ! I love the part where you describe how you felt when you got an answer from R*, it made me laugh out load here in this random internet cafe in Spain, while laughing and getting weird sights at me I continued to read this great piece of history.

You did a great job putting it all into one topic and it gave me the feeling of "CANT WAIT TO GET HOME FROM SPAIN AND LOGG IN".

I can say, all through it's a bit weird that I kinda miss you guys !


See you all at saturday !
