MTA would be awsome =D
The only problem with MTA is ehm...
Is there actually a main problem in MTA?
There isn't a problem - everything can be created and will be much better than SFSFv2 on SA-MP, but I see a problem - too much functionality. Literally, the problem is only a good one if I can say so, but it feels a little far for me anyways. And for some reason I'm sure the server wouldn't be very successful on MTA sadly. Although having FrostBytez host it would be like a gift from heaven.
If we had the server on SA-MP again it would be awesome, but I'm quite unsure as the mode is released now and hasn't been widely played on for months so there probably are some bugs (which I could fix anyways). On the other hand the best feedback (and almost the only feedback) we've had for the server was that SFSFv2 is superb and even after long long hours of gameplay one does not get bored unlike on other servers. Something like that sure would encourage the server to continue but what would be to do if we actually continued the project right now would be:
1. removing the git and downloads
2. remapping most of the world
3. writing a joint script between SMF forums and SA-MP server
The joint script would be a shared database which would allow us to tie more of a community feeling into the game and also would allow me to write some simple SMF add-on which would integrate our web panel into the forums with other good pages related to the game. This all since our forums and gameserver would be on the same dedicated server.
SFSFv2, I suppose, was some sort of a landmarking server. At least that's what I would want to consider it due to the feedback received that I already spoke of above (superb and unlike other servers one does not get bored). And I doubt we would have problems with our active playerbase after a month or two of operating, we would average 40-50 players or similar without problems.
I would love to run a SA-MP community and all, perhaps a little different this time though. The only thing I can think of is that is SA-MP really a good multiplayer modification nowadays and what will have happened to it in a few months, a year or so (player amount wise I mean).
I'm eager to hear all your community feedback you have regarding SFSFv2 and perhaps bringing it back under a new outlook or operating method and what would you like to see if we did bring it back... means your general idea about this whole thing.
