Everybody complains about not having enough players.
NEWSFLASH
If the problem is the lack of people, the resolution is... Playing there! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I don't want no one to give up on SAMP, that's not what I'm saying, but I prefer by far the MTA:SA server, and so does Tony. You can play both, and if you really wanna hang out with us, I don't understand why don't you. It has very interesting features and I tell you: I play in Argonath for 5/6 years (something like that) and I've never seen script work like that. (Not underestimating other scripters - it's just my opinion).
I too miss those times where we would all hang and do excellent RP scenarios with a bunch of guys, but I don't want to play there anymore, for my personal reasons. Pass by Skype, or play MTA. It saddens me to see that just because one server doesn't have the same players base as the other, it automatically earns the label of a "bad server". Try it out. Not for 5 minutes, for some time. I promise you'll like it.
Cheerios.
