When will be next big version? Also why are few people on MTA than on SAMP it has more features.. 70% of mta servers are empty..

Mantis Roadmap says that the planned release date for MTA: SA 1.6 is on January 12th, 2017. On the other hand, MTA: SA 1.5.3 is scheduled for release in June 16th, 2016.

Of course, that roadmap isn't always day-accurate, but it gives a good idea of when will be future versions released.

When will be next big version? Also why are few people on MTA than on SAMP it has more features.. 70% of mta servers are empty..

For a few reasons:

• MTA didn't get its awesome features till late versions.

• Some people prefer SAMP due to the fact that its servers don't require downloading/the downloading works in background.

• Sync in earlier versions of MTA wasn't great at all.

• There's no serious RP servers in MTA(or in other words, they're terrible compared to SAMP's) while SAMP contains tons of populated RP servers.

• Search for GTA San Andreas Multiplayer Mod, SAMP will appear first.

However, there's no comparison here, MTA is far better than what in 2020 SAMP can be(if not dead ).

Also why are few people on MTA than on SAMP it has more features

I don't get how this rumour is assumed true, because MTA has more players than SA-MP at most time (constant player amount on MTA averages above 20,000)

Also, the perceived amount of SAMP players consists of bots for a great amount, because some servers show hundreds of players while there's none of not more than 40 players on there. Because SAMP allows tampering with such data.. it can appear there's alot of players while SAMP is largely more empty.

• There's no serious RP servers in MTA(or in other words, they're terrible compared to SAMP's)

If you think so you haven't played both SAMP RP servers/and, or switched from SAMP to MTA RP servers by yourself, or not the right ones, because I think most SA-MP roleplayers would never want to go back after playing on MTA RP servers, because it's a whole new dimension of RP where SAMP is simple RP without immersion and passive RP (hasty and simple-minded roleplayers) and as you say there might be more RP servers that aren't empty rather than MTA, but those that you find on SAMP are of low standard/quality.

Well then try to use Google for a comparison between the two, you'll find out that this point is mentioned in most comparisons.
