A little question about MTA 1.0

[Gobe]

How many players MTA 1.0 is gonna support, this is kinda important for my project. I attempted to find that, but I didn't. Thanks for your answer.

[50p]

128 (so far)

[Gobe]

128 (so far)

Ah I though it was gonna be up to 250/500 like SA-MP.

as 50p said "so far", and i know it would be fun having lots of players in one server,but look at sa-mp, when theres many players about 100-200, connection start getting lost,there is many lag and the worst desynchronize ever,so i think 127 is enough "for now"

Gobe a higher playerlimit is absolutely useless atm as there are barely 300 players online playing mta (at busy times) and i've never really never seen a server that exceeded the max player limit.

I'm agree with you Mr. Hankey, but when MTA 1.0 will come, it won't be useless, lemme remind you that we under a Developer Preview version it's just normal if there aren't many people on MTA at the moment, everyone is sticked to SAMP because of these role-play servers, but when it will come to MTA, believe me it will change .

yes many people prefere sa-mp because of its roleplay, but there are MANY people that dont even know mta exists, it was said in another topic, that new comers that want to play san andreas online can just type http://www.sa-mp.com and they get sa-mp's site, no ones ever going to figure about mta before sa-mp by himself

People will certainly tell each other that it's better than SA-MP.

well for example i got to know about mta through the sa-mp forums, i heard somethin that mta might win sa-mp or somethin so i googled mta and here i am

Well, in 1.0 they probably will. But if you go look for some SA-MP or MTA video's on Youtube, you see big "discussions" in which fans of both sides claim that that side is better. SA-MP's fans claim that SA-MP is much better. (without arguments to support their opinion... nubz ) While MTA people say MTA is much better. (guess what, a lot of these also don't have arguments... However, there are much more people having arguments on MTA than on SA-MP.)

It's quite weird that people still think SA-MP is better for some reason... I really don't see why... Well, they're just being conservative I guess. =/

1. The sych is way better.

2. It's an open source project.

3. Atleast Developers looks active.

4. Some many functions more!

5. LUA is more powerful than Pawno

Etc.

I'm agree with ya. & MTA ftw.

Increasing a player limit wouldn't be useless because that would encourage more people to play it. And MTA is MUCH better than SA-MP. Some people have "arguments" that SA-MP is better: it has more players So there's no REAL reason why it's "better"

100% agree! (Shit I found someone who's got the same ideas as me ) The next WoW is on MTA lmao. More players = more excitement.

But the main problem of MTA is the Name.

What do all ppl, never heard about a multiplayer mod for GTA?

Right, go to Google, enter "San Andreas, MultiPlayer" => SA-MP.

And second part, i dont really know how to tell that.. If you arent somhow experienced with the usage of MTA, you can get confused. I personally dislike the blue chatbox, yea, i know its possible to change the colour, but whats about the beginners?

They start MTA, want to play, find a full RP server and read "type /warpto" or whatever. So they ask themselves: Euh, what shall i do? Thats just my opinion. The players expect a stable, GUI based (what MTA is most likely), but for me, it is some kind of excessive demand to browse the Google Sourcepage, to know that MTA is "opened for business".

But on the other hand side, we get just the type of "more intelligent" people. The People who don't just search for SAMP, but like me *gg* found MTA through a Gameserver hosting group in Germany

But B2T:

I guess, if MTA is known, the PED system will increase the players (hopefully).

I personally like MTA because of the good synch, the support and the wide of scripting possibilities. I just think, we need a good Gamemode. Not Role Play Based, but maybe some kind of new missions. Or a gamemode for much players. Like battlefield, but a little bit more quality, tbh

I see it on our server:

All 3 minutes a mapchange. WHY? because some users think MTA/GTA is some kind of 0815... On CS or BF2, the maps run 45 minutes and longer. So why can't we reach that, too? But this is another aspect and not content of this topic. OMG, what i am talking about here. Didn't even finish my first arguments...

[Gobe]

Lmao.

[DiSaMe]

I forgot to say one more thing: it's not really that bad that more people play SA-MP and not MTA: it means that mainly the best players go to MTA while others stay on SA-MP. Even though there is some trash in MTA, it won't be there for long because they will ALL get owned by MTA serial system.

[darkdreamingdan]

It's worth noting that 1.0 now offers a redirectPlayer function.

Until said serial system gets cracked... and unfortunately, it'll probably happen quite quickly. People really should have better stuff to do than let 11yo cheaters rampage at random through servers filled with admins who desperately try to keep the phuckers out and maintain some order. But they don't.

But that's the way it is.

In BFSA, the games are about more than 1 hour!

Still truth though in a few posts ago. (Searcing for it.... Oh wait, it was the same post as the first quote... >.<)

Right, go to Google, enter "San Andreas, MultiPlayer" => SA-MP.

Not even a single result about MTA on the first page... It's on the second one, so not a chance people will come here if they don't know about that there are two multiplayer mods...

Maybe the site needs to contain "San Andreas" and "Multiplayer" words a bit more. I guess it would bump it up the google search.

After a Youtube video

Maybe a rental of the domain http://sa-mp.net/ or something like this would bring more players to MTA. And if there is no money, i am sure we could help out with that somehow.

Or we go onto SA-MP Servers and advertise for MTA

Ive been introducing many people to mta in the past months!

[Cazomino05]

i have to agree about the name, i know a lot of people who think MTA is only capable of death match servers because of the name... obviously this isn't the case but it does put people off and you wouldn't believe how many times i have heard this in the sa-mp vs mta argument... seems to happen every day

ya, i know what you mean, would it be possible that for the next release it is named Multi Theft Auto San Andreas 1.0? and not deathmatch?

I was thinking of this a while ago... Wouldn't this be better? Not that it matters THAT much, but it shouldn't have much disadvantages I guess.
