Love this content man! I RPd on Los Santos Role play (LSRP) (English server) from around 2007 until the time it closed just a couple of years and that was my life for a while that and Valhalla RP. It's sad to see servers like that go but it is interesting how there are so many Russian/Bulgarian servers still around!
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience! Yeah, it's sad to see some servers gone, especially if we played there. But it's the circle of life, probably somebody is enjoying newer servers as I write this xD

This vid is amazing dude, amazing storytelling and thank you for sharing such a thing with English speakers. I've been amazed with the potential of RP players in SAMP and how they operate till 2023. Thank you again for this video. This should go viral lol.
I saw that Arizona RP was living its best life recently, then I found your video and since I don't speak russian I didn't know much about it the history of russian roleplay, and this video told me a lot. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment! That's a great question. I don't think anyone knows for sure. It just kinda happened :D I can speculate that it has something to do with accessibility to young russian people who wanted to hang out with their friends outside of school, in a game. SA:MP client was perfect for that - easy to install and play, the game could be run on almost any PC. At first nobody cared about RP - it just happened to be the mod servers were using. The idea of roleplaying and having a career as if it was real life came later. And it kept growing by word of mouth plus all kinds of TH-camrs - big and new - were making videos about it at some point. I have started playing because of a TH-camr. But why is there barely any English presence in San Andreas RP - who knows. Seems to me that GTA 5 RP kinda blew up everywhere somewhat similarly to how SA:MP RP blew up in Russian community back in the day. I could always be wrong - it's just how I see it :D Also if you think 10 servers of 1000 players is crazy - 25 servers of 1000 players is a reality of Arizona RP right now lol
Miss LS-RP that was a english sever that had 1000 player base almost always full in early days when there was like 500 slots and had to wait to get in if you got kicked had to wait again, people grew up server and samp pretty much died .. and now they have LSRP on five m , damnn. How Inmiss rhe old days
I have a similar story, but I started playing SAMP around 2018, on the server "Welcome to Los Santos 2". But my gametime spiked during the covid. I made quite a lot of friends during this. But unfortunately after covid ended everyone became busy, I started with my college so everything came to a standstill for me like you.
Amazing video my friend! I also played LOTS of SAMP back in the day! I'm Bulgarian and even though our languages are kind of similar i couldnt really understand everything in order to play on russian servers... and you know how hard it is to find a good english speaking server with enough players xd.

SAMP were still popular here in Indonesia ! We have lots of RP servers like Lunar Pride RP, Arivena Roleplay, and Jogjagamers RP (which was the most played server here in Indonesia) and many more. The community was still as good as the old days, and also the forums like Jogjagamers Forum that still gain popularity among the Indonesian gamers.
SAMP is still very popular in the middle east and southeast asia. A lot of the people I meet in SAMP are from those regions. While it seems MTA is more popular with Brazil and other south american countries.
I really like this video. It have an interesting things that I didn't know and I did enjoy watching this documental. Congratulations for the work, your video is very good. I'm from Mexico and I grew up playing SAMP in Spanish Servers. Currently, the biggest spanish server is FenixZone RP, he have five servers with 1,000+ players everyday in total. I always believed that FenixZone was one of the greatest in the world, but compared to Arizona RP, damn haha. Spanish server are very basics in their gamemodes, they are so similar to early samp rp servers. They have a pay to fast system, and if you play free you need to work a lot ahah. I was watching some gameplays for Arizona RP, and her gamemode look so nice, with a lot of modern systems. I'll start learning russian for can play haha. And I can't forget the classic "Sorry for my bad english" haha
Thank you SO MUCH for commenting even though English isn't your first language. It's not bad at all actually! Thank you for telling me about Spanish servers, I didn't know about FenixZone RP, so it's cool that you've told me about it. Unfortunately yeah, on these servers you either grind and play a lot, or you donate real money. Same goes for Russian servers. Good luck with learning Russian and hopefully you'll get to play Arizona or whatever project will be relevant in the future!
Cool video, but you should have talked about Arizona's monopolisation of the whole industry. You could also discuss how Arizona focused players on grinding with their custom cars and accessories До Аризоны у больших серверов была хоть какая-то конкурренция, но сейчас сложно сказать, особенно с их 20+ фулл серверами
Thanks for pointing that out. To be fair, the focus of the video was the past, rather than what's happening now, so I only mentioned Arizona without going in-depth. I don't feel competent to do that, cause I haven't even properly played Arizona RP. Если считаешь, что эта тема может сейчас или в будущем послужить поводом для продолжения ролика в духе "The Fall of Rus Roleplay", то можешь связаться со мной в каких-нибудь соцсетях, например через ТГ или Дискорд. Мне будет полезен вклад игроков, которые в теме. Я из неё как-то выпал, поэтому более менее рассказал про прошлое и меньше про настоящее. Thank you for your thoughtful input!
Стэн Карвер, что-то знакомое) Вряд ли мы пересекались, я играл в основном на Шоколадном сервере и на Вайте, но в любом случае привет тебе, кем бы ты ни был Многое было пройдено на Адванс РП, приятно вспомнить
I personnally still play SAMP today, even brought friends along. I started SAMP about 5-6 years ago on English servers ('cause French are dead since a very long time ago) and today still, I'm having a blast. On MTA SA, I started about 1 year ago only playing in Need For Speed San ANdreas Server that's where I felt a good game waiting to be recognized
this is really interesting. I also play rp, you may have heard of it. WTLS. I have been playing on it since 2018 but I am not so active nowadays. It has all the features you mentioned in your videos. Crazy how the original russian rp servers had such impact that after all these years the features are implemented, although the server itself is a decade old. I was the same. Going on the rp server to play, have fun. Have an internet persona and goof around with friends. But that time has gone by and now I live my life and my old friends live theirs. It was fun, it was enjoyable and I won't forget it ever.
Thank you so much for the comment! Yes, I've heard of WTLS. Maybe one day I'll check it out just for fun, because I haven't been playing samp outside of Russian servers much :D It's so cool that the experience I described resonates with many samp players, not just from Russia! Happy to know you had fun!
Man i loved Samp so much but all German Servers are nearly dead i played it as a 12 yr old child xD. We lived in the golden age without knowing it . Sorry for my bad English great video
Как русский 🇷🇺, сампер, подтверждаю что RP в 2012-2015 были самыми лучшими годами РП в истории Российского сампа, Самп рп и Адванс рп навсегда в сердечке ❤️❤️ советую также посетить КРМП сервера, Криминальная Россия Мульт Плеер, которые тоже имеют очень богатую историю)
I remember wishing i could understand russian just to play on one of these servers. There were other servers in languages i can speak but they were mostly not as popular or worse quality than the originals, i tried learning russian for a couple of months and gave up
I wish I played SAMP back in the day! I didn't know what I missed. Maybe it's not too late to experience it now. San Andreas was a big part of my childhood. I played hundreds and hundreds of hours of it. I found out about SAMP once, but it all seemed too cumbersome, that chat-action-thing seemed annoying.
It's not too late I think! Now some servers also use proximity voice chat so maybe it'll be even easier and you won't have to type everything! I can see why it can be annoying, after all - this is one of the reasons I quit SAMP.
Sadly english sa-mp RP is slowly dying off. I really miss those days when SA-RP , LS-RP , WC-RP, california gaming roleplay, streetz of los santos etc were still big servers and sa-mp had around a 100k players online around 2011-2015 really the best servers were around this time. I think when gta 5 rp was released gta sa-mp been slowly dying off sad to see i grew up on this game and learned most of my english on this game talking to other players and i met tons of people and have hundreds of playing hours on many servers. Probably my most favourite game all time. Weirdest thing that happend is i met someone in real life who i was at that time playing with in the same server without knowing , turned out it was my classmate in high school playing the same server haha. We found out when we started talking about sa-mp and we found out we were playing the same server and in the same gang too this was so weird we were friends ingame. We been in the same gang the whole time on an internet game but we did not know at all , but we were in the same class lol. 0000.01% that would ever happen this is what makes it so strange
Wow, that's a crazy story! Glad you've found each other both IRL and in-game :D And yeah, I guess GTA 5 replaced GTA SA for a lot of people in multiplayer too. Times come and go, I guess. As far as Russian servers are concerned, I'm not sure they're dying off really, just some old projects. But I can see it happening in English segment of SAMP. Thank you for your comment!
@@AlexFreezeman I think Russian RP will stay the longest , it always had tons of Russian servers for years now with servers over 1000 players , English never really reached that. I hope that UIF server and NG-RP stay for a long time even though i don't like NG-RP and i don't really play SA-MP anymore , it would be sad to see these servers also dying because they been around for more than 10+ years and LS-RP is already dead so there's not much left anymore for English players its sad to see and i would like to keep my account on UIF from 2011 i still have it.
Ahh yeah, samp, played on Arizona Scottdale and Revent Violence because of youtubers who simply got paid for playing it (Verteich and guy named Nefedoni, who deleted his channel now, he was mostly known for his garrys mod dark rp videos, but dark rp is a fucking purgatory with absence of a things called rp and common sense. Nevermind). I remember how i had troubles installing samp cuz I didn’t know how to chose a correct folder to install it. And then i started grinding money. Then wasted it (50k on arizona rp in 2019 for new players used to took some time to earn) trying to get gun license (cant remember why exactly it costed me this much). Then without money and no gun license i decided to drop it, BUT NO! I stood up late and was grinding as a bus driver, then it was truck driver. Every morning in June I was waking up and trying to log into Scottdale server (it was 1000/1000 already) and then i had to deliver 8 loads of ammunition to gun stores as truck driver, get a bonus for doing it in employment center, switch my job to collector and go to the bank for cash collector vehicle and hop from place to place to collect money from atm machines,(need to say that atm is choosing randomly, and ppl will get 10k or something for killing you) I remember how some guy tried to rp rob me, i was so fed up with this shit that i gave him 30k just to make him go away and let me finish my job, he was so surprised that he said “nah thats too much” and gave me some money back and asked for a ride lol. I was making 250k a day this way and it took me 6 or something rather hours a day. Then I decided to join a faction and went to an interview to a Los Santos media center, i still have a video on my google.photos cloud shoted from my phone cheering that I got the job. But the main job was boring, all you had to do is redacting advertisers from players. Like changing “selling house in ghetto with garage for 2.5kk” to “Looking for buyer for a house in dangerous part of town with the garage. Price:2.500.000$. (Phone number was added automatically). And to rank up i had to do shitty tasks like throw out the garbage using “/me opened trash bin”, “/do trash bin opened” and etc (dont forget to screenshot all of this shit with “/time”), or take 5 cool photos of the city (i still have them on my imgur account) and them send a report to a forum with all proofs. Nowadays i just log into to earn some money, cuz being in a factions requires playing too much and doing shit ton of these forum reports. I grown up, dont wanna hear insults from a 15 yo kid who is leader cuz only thing he does in his life is playing samp (otherwise he wouldn’t be a leader in such young age), i have enough of such insults in dota 2 already. But it surely was fun back in 2019
So sorry it took me that long to reply xD Thank you for sharing your story. A lot of things you've said really reminded me of my experience, especially working in media (I worked on radio of Advance Orange) and I did all of that boring stuff with a ton of screenshots (with time ofc) and also I think I did ads? I don't remember tho, maybe not. Anyway, yeah it was a lot of grind back in 2013, as well as 2019 I guess xD It's fun to remember the good old days but I'll never contribute this much time to an activity like this ever again I feel like. Once again, thank you for watching and commenting! I meant to reply sooner but life got in the way lol Edit: good old dayS (I added an S)
samp rp was very popular in Poland and there are still a hundreds of players. And there is more of players on RPG servers, and they was very popular back in the days
Привет, незнаю как , но сразу понял, что ты русский автор. А когда ты еще рассказал про пиратские диски от фаргуса , все сразу подтвердилось. Хочу сказать что ты сделал очень классное видео про историю сама на просторах СНГ. Сейчас самп претерпел очень сильные изменения благодаря аризоне, и многие иностранцы просто даже представить себе не могут как самп вырос в снг. Я так скажу, что русские сервер самые лучшие.
Привет! Спасибо за комментарий! Да, не скрываю, что я русский автор, и как раз хочу продвигать более менее нишевый СНГ контент в англоязычные массы :D Очень рад, что видео находит отклик и там, и тут) У нас правда очень много талантливых ребят, благодаря которым тот же самп не стоит на месте и даже опережает иностранные сервера) спасибо за теплые слова!
I hate myself for not playing samp in 2006 instead of learning to walk. Nowdays the feel of the game has pretty much shifted from being a "gta with friends" to something else, the rp servers (at least in Brazil) is one more mundane than the other. You farm farm and thats it.
The only server that still has that feeling is WTLS, that is THE server. You know the devs love the game and the community by the amount of polish the server has.
Yeah, grinding and mindless routine were my main issues with the servers I've played too WLTS is getting mentioned a lot in my comments, I'm curious now Thanks for your comments!
I will never understand why owners won't translate the server in english as well, Russian servers and their system are very unique and interesting and i would love to play there, sadly it's close to impossible with the language barrier
I remember my first time playing SAMP when i was about 5/6 back in 2008/9, it was one of the many games on my (at the time teenage) uncle's computer and i vividly remember trying to type the ROCKETMAN cheat and just ending up sending a message saying "MAN" in the chat multiple times because the T opened the chat lol i was so confused why the jetpack didn't work
Thanks! I'd say that my mic might need an upgrade, yeah, but it's also the acoustics in where I am that kinda messes with the quality. Will do my best to work around that in the future! Your comment means a lot, thank you!
To be fair, I'm not really familiar with hard rp samp servers or gta 5 RP servers. That's why I didn't mention those much xD So I won't argue. What hard rp servers in samp would you recommend tho? 👀
Amazing video and how you do that you have in russian language text and all stuff in gta and if i wanna play on Arizona RP my chat text isn t in russian language but dtuiéšíčšíčéwpepw something like that
Hi! Thank you! As for the Russian language, first - you might want to install Russian language pack on Windows (if that's your OS), and second - the encoding. Try googling "how to enable UTF-8 encoding on Windows 10/11", bc encoding actually might be the reason why Russian text isn't showing. One of, or both of these steps might help. At least, I really hope so, I'm no expert in this tbh lol
We paid for CDs that were pirated by others. It was an alternative if you didn't have fast internet. Anyone could download games for themselves and not pay for disks if their internet speed was good
Hey, I recently stumbled upon 2 russian videos from a server called radmir and the second one called next rp. What are exactly those servers? Their own platforms? To me it seems like they are not mta/samp but their own games with a bunch of resources taken from gta sa. I watched a little bit of the gameplay and it looks very p2w and just weird...
Hi! From what I can tell, these servers are based on or inspired by a mod I mentioned in this video - Criminal Russia. It was a singleplayer mod at first, but it was later made into multiplayer. I plan on making a video on both of them some time hopefully next year!
@@AlexFreezeman yea i didn't mention it as well mb russian ones are 1000/1000 brazil ones as well but you know most people including russians and brazilians speak english as a common language for everyone and everything
I get you, but as unfair as it may seem, sometimes people want to play on their native language. Not 100% of the population knows English that well, so they play with what they can understand. I think if you search hard enough, there are more English speaking servers to play on, if not here then on MTA at the very least Samp might be considered dead, but as long as there are any servers online and people play there, the game isn't dead, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for commenting tho
@@AlexFreezeman because I'd like to try the godfather mod and I can't find it, I don't understand if it's a reproduction of the PS2 game from EA games or if it's a mod that I can't find
Nooo, it's a mod that has most of SAMP servers running on as a base. I thought I explained it in the video. Basically, you've most likely played on Godfather mod if you've played on any RP server. It has nothing to do with actual Godfather, be it the movie, the game, etc. So there is no such thing that you're looking for. It's just a title for a basis for the older SAMP RP servers.
@@AlexFreezeman Thanks for the reply, I wasn't looking for a mod on the godfather movie or game But looking I don't understand how to try servers with that mod, is it used in everyone in their modified versions still now or only the older ones continue to imement it?
You'll need GTA SA, samp client and you need to know the IP. There are websites where you can find them. Enter the IP and connect. It's pretty straightforward. Also there are probably guides on that on YT. Russian servers are joined on like any others.
BRUH russian servers got THOUSAND PLAYERS bullshit because as american i cant join and NONE of the rp server are anything liKE crazybobs cops and robbers
I know they are, the point of the video was the story, so of course they're outdated. And I mentioned a lot of Arizona RP as the new biggest name out there

Cool video, but you should have talked about Arizona's monopolisation of the whole industry. You could also discuss how Arizona focused players on grinding with their custom cars and accessories
До Аризоны у больших серверов была хоть какая-то конкурренция, но сейчас сложно сказать, особенно с их 20+ фулл серверами
Thanks for pointing that out. To be fair, the focus of the video was the past, rather than what's happening now, so I only mentioned Arizona without going in-depth. I don't feel competent to do that, cause I haven't even properly played Arizona RP.
Если считаешь, что эта тема может сейчас или в будущем послужить поводом для продолжения ролика в духе "The Fall of Rus Roleplay", то можешь связаться со мной в каких-нибудь соцсетях, например через ТГ или Дискорд. Мне будет полезен вклад игроков, которые в теме. Я из неё как-то выпал, поэтому более менее рассказал про прошлое и меньше про настоящее.
Thank you for your thoughtful input!
I like how sounding the horn is a universal symbol of interacting with players
Just like tea-bagging in shooters lol
We need multilingual ways to communicate after all :D
SAMP RP #03 на всегда в сердце 😔
Стэн Карвер, что-то знакомое)
Вряд ли мы пересекались, я играл в основном на Шоколадном сервере и на Вайте, но в любом случае привет тебе, кем бы ты ни был
Многое было пройдено на Адванс РП, приятно вспомнить
И тебе привет) приятно видеть "односерверчанина" в комментариях) ну, практически :D
You made me to go back so Samp.
I don't know if that's a good thing for you, but I'm glad I made an impact!
I personnally still play SAMP today, even brought friends along. I started SAMP about 5-6 years ago on English servers ('cause French are dead since a very long time ago) and today still, I'm having a blast. On MTA SA, I started about 1 year ago only playing in Need For Speed San ANdreas Server that's where I felt a good game waiting to be recognized
Thank you for sharing, that's so awesome!
Good video! You earn a new sub, hello from brazil
Thank you and welcome to The Frozen Crew! 💙
Really well made video
Thank you!
this is really interesting. I also play rp, you may have heard of it. WTLS. I have been playing on it since 2018 but I am not so active nowadays. It has all the features you mentioned in your videos. Crazy how the original russian rp servers had such impact that after all these years the features are implemented, although the server itself is a decade old. I was the same. Going on the rp server to play, have fun. Have an internet persona and goof around with friends. But that time has gone by and now I live my life and my old friends live theirs. It was fun, it was enjoyable and I won't forget it ever.
Thank you so much for the comment! Yes, I've heard of WTLS. Maybe one day I'll check it out just for fun, because I haven't been playing samp outside of Russian servers much :D
It's so cool that the experience I described resonates with many samp players, not just from Russia!
Happy to know you had fun!
Man i loved Samp so much but all German Servers are nearly dead i played it as a 12 yr old child xD. We lived in the golden age without knowing it . Sorry for my bad English great video
Your English is great! Thank you for your comment!
I agree, it was a great time for Samp enjoyers xD
Damn your english is good son,regards from Poland
Thank you! :3
Как русский 🇷🇺, сампер, подтверждаю что RP в 2012-2015 были самыми лучшими годами РП в истории Российского сампа, Самп рп и Адванс рп навсегда в сердечке ❤️❤️ советую также посетить КРМП сервера, Криминальная Россия Мульт Плеер, которые тоже имеют очень богатую историю)
Спасибо за комментарий!
Хорошие были времена)
I remember wishing i could understand russian just to play on one of these servers. There were other servers in languages i can speak but they were mostly not as popular or worse quality than the originals, i tried learning russian for a couple of months and gave up
Aaaw, that's really admirable that you've tried tho! Maybe one day!
You shouldve went to LSRP, it was the peak of SAMP RP and was in english
Great video
Thank you!
i wish there was a translator thing for the servers so english players could play on ru servers
I agree! I heard there're multilingual servers in Minecraft, something like that in samp would be nice too!
I wish I played SAMP back in the day! I didn't know what I missed. Maybe it's not too late to experience it now.
San Andreas was a big part of my childhood. I played hundreds and hundreds of hours of it.
I found out about SAMP once, but it all seemed too cumbersome, that chat-action-thing seemed annoying.
It's not too late I think! Now some servers also use proximity voice chat so maybe it'll be even easier and you won't have to type everything!
I can see why it can be annoying, after all - this is one of the reasons I quit SAMP.
good video man, keep it up
(also do the video of the gta russian ripoffs)
Thank you so much!
And I'll keep that topic in mind 👀
Ahhh good old times. Hours over Hours sunk into SAMP. Was kinda big in germany too, around 1 or 2k Daily Players back in the day
rpg city und nova esports
@@turboterps Life of Midnight, weiß nur nicht mehr, in was das umbenannt wurde
Los Santos Roleplay is back on SA-MP!
You’re doing more promo than the fucking admins głośnik you pal
Sadly english sa-mp RP is slowly dying off. I really miss those days when SA-RP , LS-RP , WC-RP, california gaming roleplay, streetz of los santos etc were still big servers and sa-mp had around a 100k players online around 2011-2015 really the best servers were around this time. I think when gta 5 rp was released gta sa-mp been slowly dying off sad to see i grew up on this game and learned most of my english on this game talking to other players and i met tons of people and have hundreds of playing hours on many servers. Probably my most favourite game all time. Weirdest thing that happend is i met someone in real life who i was at that time playing with in the same server without knowing , turned out it was my classmate in high school playing the same server haha. We found out when we started talking about sa-mp and we found out we were playing the same server and in the same gang too this was so weird we were friends ingame. We been in the same gang the whole time on an internet game but we did not know at all , but we were in the same class lol. 0000.01% that would ever happen this is what makes it so strange
Wish i could speak Russian so i could join into some server :D
Wow, that's a crazy story! Glad you've found each other both IRL and in-game :D
And yeah, I guess GTA 5 replaced GTA SA for a lot of people in multiplayer too. Times come and go, I guess. As far as Russian servers are concerned, I'm not sure they're dying off really, just some old projects. But I can see it happening in English segment of SAMP.
Thank you for your comment!
@@AlexFreezeman I think Russian RP will stay the longest , it always had tons of Russian servers for years now with servers over 1000 players , English never really reached that. I hope that UIF server and NG-RP stay for a long time even though i don't like NG-RP and i don't really play SA-MP anymore , it would be sad to see these servers also dying because they been around for more than 10+ years and LS-RP is already dead so there's not much left anymore for English players its sad to see and i would like to keep my account on UIF from 2011 i still have it.
Ahh yeah, samp, played on Arizona Scottdale and Revent Violence because of youtubers who simply got paid for playing it (Verteich and guy named Nefedoni, who deleted his channel now, he was mostly known for his garrys mod dark rp videos, but dark rp is a fucking purgatory with absence of a things called rp and common sense. Nevermind). I remember how i had troubles installing samp cuz I didn’t know how to chose a correct folder to install it. And then i started grinding money. Then wasted it (50k on arizona rp in 2019 for new players used to took some time to earn) trying to get gun license (cant remember why exactly it costed me this much). Then without money and no gun license i decided to drop it, BUT NO! I stood up late and was grinding as a bus driver, then it was truck driver. Every morning in June I was waking up and trying to log into Scottdale server (it was 1000/1000 already) and then i had to deliver 8 loads of ammunition to gun stores as truck driver, get a bonus for doing it in employment center, switch my job to collector and go to the bank for cash collector vehicle and hop from place to place to collect money from atm machines,(need to say that atm is choosing randomly, and ppl will get 10k or something for killing you) I remember how some guy tried to rp rob me, i was so fed up with this shit that i gave him 30k just to make him go away and let me finish my job, he was so surprised that he said “nah thats too much” and gave me some money back and asked for a ride lol. I was making 250k a day this way and it took me 6 or something rather hours a day. Then I decided to join a faction and went to an interview to a Los Santos media center, i still have a video on my google.photos cloud shoted from my phone cheering that I got the job. But the main job was boring, all you had to do is redacting advertisers from players. Like changing “selling house in ghetto with garage for 2.5kk” to “Looking for buyer for a house in dangerous part of town with the garage. Price:2.500.000$. (Phone number was added automatically). And to rank up i had to do shitty tasks like throw out the garbage using “/me opened trash bin”, “/do trash bin opened” and etc (dont forget to screenshot all of this shit with “/time”), or take 5 cool photos of the city (i still have them on my imgur account) and them send a report to a forum with all proofs. Nowadays i just log into to earn some money, cuz being in a factions requires playing too much and doing shit ton of these forum reports. I grown up, dont wanna hear insults from a 15 yo kid who is leader cuz only thing he does in his life is playing samp (otherwise he wouldn’t be a leader in such young age), i have enough of such insults in dota 2 already. But it surely was fun back in 2019
I wrote a shit ton of not interesting crap, didn’t I? Well, sorry
So sorry it took me that long to reply xD
Thank you for sharing your story. A lot of things you've said really reminded me of my experience, especially working in media (I worked on radio of Advance Orange) and I did all of that boring stuff with a ton of screenshots (with time ofc) and also I think I did ads? I don't remember tho, maybe not. Anyway, yeah it was a lot of grind back in 2013, as well as 2019 I guess xD
It's fun to remember the good old days but I'll never contribute this much time to an activity like this ever again I feel like.
Once again, thank you for watching and commenting! I meant to reply sooner but life got in the way lol
Edit: good old dayS (I added an S)
samp rp was very popular in Poland and there are still a hundreds of players. And there is more of players on RPG servers, and they was very popular back in the days
That's awesome! Thank you for letting me know!
not now, unfortunatelly
SAMP that was a very good time for me as well my brother and i played too but in germany on Nova E-Sports best rp time ever
Привет, незнаю как , но сразу понял, что ты русский автор. А когда ты еще рассказал про пиратские диски от фаргуса , все сразу подтвердилось. Хочу сказать что ты сделал очень классное видео про историю сама на просторах СНГ. Сейчас самп претерпел очень сильные изменения благодаря аризоне, и многие иностранцы просто даже представить себе не могут как самп вырос в снг. Я так скажу, что русские сервер самые лучшие.
Привет! Спасибо за комментарий!
Да, не скрываю, что я русский автор, и как раз хочу продвигать более менее нишевый СНГ контент в англоязычные массы :D
Очень рад, что видео находит отклик и там, и тут)
У нас правда очень много талантливых ребят, благодаря которым тот же самп не стоит на месте и даже опережает иностранные сервера) спасибо за теплые слова!
@@AlexFreezeman сделай еще видос про наши сервера в гта 5 ,где онлайн по 2к и больше, я думаб иностранной аудитории зайдет тоже
Если честно, не изучал ГТА 5 рп настолько, чтоб уверенно о нём рассказывать:D
Посмотрим)
I hate myself for not playing samp in 2006 instead of learning to walk. Nowdays the feel of the game has pretty much shifted from being a "gta with friends" to something else, the rp servers (at least in Brazil) is one more mundane than the other. You farm farm and thats it.
The only server that still has that feeling is WTLS, that is THE server. You know the devs love the game and the community by the amount of polish the server has.
Yeah, grinding and mindless routine were my main issues with the servers I've played too
WLTS is getting mentioned a lot in my comments, I'm curious now
Thanks for your comments!
@@AlexFreezeman it's basically GTA online, has some features like the phone from GTA 4, heists and lots of things
@@AlexFreezeman there's a great video from Internet Rob about samp that he plays on that server, he explains a lot there
@@Frollas_ That's neat! Thank you!
I will never understand why owners won't translate the server in english as well, Russian servers and their system are very unique and interesting and i would love to play there, sadly it's close to impossible with the language barrier
I remember my first time playing SAMP when i was about 5/6 back in 2008/9, it was one of the many games on my (at the time teenage) uncle's computer and i vividly remember trying to type the ROCKETMAN cheat and just ending up sending a message saying "MAN" in the chat multiple times because the T opened the chat lol i was so confused why the jetpack didn't work
The legendary "Man" in SAMP xD
I'm only joking, thank you for sharing! I think I tried typing HESOYAM once... lol
Fun times
Great video! But please get a new mic bro, this has the potential to blow up
Thanks!
I'd say that my mic might need an upgrade, yeah, but it's also the acoustics in where I am that kinda messes with the quality. Will do my best to work around that in the future!
Your comment means a lot, thank you!
I miss the early days of samp 😢
yeah but gta v rp wont even reach the toes of samp hard rp servers
To be fair, I'm not really familiar with hard rp samp servers or gta 5 RP servers. That's why I didn't mention those much xD
So I won't argue.
What hard rp servers in samp would you recommend tho? 👀
If you were to hire someone to narrate this for you youd be really popular
Well I know how my speech isn't perfect, but it is my voice:D
Thank you tho, that means that everything else was pretty good :P
Sorry but WTLS is the father of all servers in gtasamp
Real "fathers" of ALL servers are literally all the early DM and free roam servers, RP servers didn't even exist back then
BTW we got an update recently (2 months ago I think) for SAMP: 0.3.7 R5
I think it's a pretty small update tho technically yeah, you're right.
From what I've found, it was released in November 2022
I thought Kalcor stopped updating samp
I thought so too, but apparently not xD
Or maybe he just does security updates when needed
i still play mta and samp till this today and i wish i knew russian or could have translator mod for the server because they be poppin servers
fr!
I kinda wish I knew how to create samp servers! Minecraft has multilingual servers, why not make one for samp, sounds like a fun idea!
Amazing video and how you do that you have in russian language text and all stuff in gta and if i wanna play on Arizona RP my chat text isn t in russian language but dtuiéšíčšíčéwpepw something like that
Hi! Thank you!
As for the Russian language, first - you might want to install Russian language pack on Windows (if that's your OS), and second - the encoding. Try googling "how to enable UTF-8 encoding on Windows 10/11", bc encoding actually might be the reason why Russian text isn't showing. One of, or both of these steps might help. At least, I really hope so, I'm no expert in this tbh lol
Good
Good video slava Russia 🇷🇺
any P:LA players here ?
we had zamunda(piratebay) we didn't even pay for CD
We paid for CDs that were pirated by others. It was an alternative if you didn't have fast internet. Anyone could download games for themselves and not pay for disks if their internet speed was good
@@AlexFreezeman you just don't turn the pc off and the torrent downloads like 4 days 😂
That was an option too I guess xD
For the most dedicated (and mentally stable lol)
MTA is the best PERIOD.
That's not what this video is about but thanks for the comment anyway :D
need a criminal russia video!
I'm working on another documentary first, and will probably do Criminal Russia after! 👀
Hey, I recently stumbled upon 2 russian videos from a server called radmir and the second one called next rp. What are exactly those servers? Their own platforms? To me it seems like they are not mta/samp but their own games with a bunch of resources taken from gta sa. I watched a little bit of the gameplay and it looks very p2w and just weird...
Hi!
From what I can tell, these servers are based on or inspired by a mod I mentioned in this video - Criminal Russia. It was a singleplayer mod at first, but it was later made into multiplayer.
I plan on making a video on both of them some time hopefully next year!
im in usa and i love the online addon
Nice! Do you play SA:MP or MTA perhaps?
don't let our game die!
Haven't checked in a while but it seems pretty alive to me :D
@@AlexFreezeman there's about 1 or 2 english servers doing well
@@k.ss.s4946 well, I didn't mean English servers in the first place XD
@@AlexFreezeman yea i didn't mention it as well mb russian ones are 1000/1000 brazil ones as well but you know most people including russians and brazilians speak english as a common language for everyone and everything
I get you, but as unfair as it may seem, sometimes people want to play on their native language. Not 100% of the population knows English that well, so they play with what they can understand.
I think if you search hard enough, there are more English speaking servers to play on, if not here then on MTA at the very least
Samp might be considered dead, but as long as there are any servers online and people play there, the game isn't dead, but that's just my opinion. Thanks for commenting tho
Anybody here from MTG?
make a video on criminal russia!
It's on my to-do list right after the next documentary I'm working on!
Stay tuned (and subbed!) 👀
Hello there is it anyway you could have a video on top English servers that's good for mobile
Hey!
Sorry, I'm afraid this is a bit too out of my reach in terms of what content I plan on doing. Thanks for understanding!
can u say more of godfather mod?
pleaseee
I would if I had anything more to say :D
But I'll definitely do at least one more GTA San Andreas topic eventually!
@@AlexFreezeman because I'd like to try the godfather mod and I can't find it, I don't understand if it's a reproduction of the PS2 game from EA games or if it's a mod that I can't find
Nooo, it's a mod that has most of SAMP servers running on as a base. I thought I explained it in the video. Basically, you've most likely played on Godfather mod if you've played on any RP server. It has nothing to do with actual Godfather, be it the movie, the game, etc. So there is no such thing that you're looking for. It's just a title for a basis for the older SAMP RP servers.
@@AlexFreezeman Thanks for the reply, I wasn't looking for a mod on the godfather movie or game But looking I don't understand how to try servers with that mod, is it used in everyone in their modified versions still now or only the older ones continue to imement it?
Can u suggest me server that use this mod?
How you play in russia server ?? U from russia?
Yes :D
How to play Russian server pls tell me
You'll need GTA SA, samp client and you need to know the IP. There are websites where you can find them. Enter the IP and connect. It's pretty straightforward. Also there are probably guides on that on YT. Russian servers are joined on like any others.
@@AlexFreezeman but bro how to play Russian server in eng
You mean with auto translation? Sorry, I don't know if there is a way (maybe a mod but I doubt it).
,more
Another video is coming soon (ish, might be long from now actually)
HZG
BRUH russian servers got THOUSAND PLAYERS bullshit because as american i cant join and NONE of the rp server are anything liKE crazybobs cops and robbers
Advance and samp rp are outdated servers, go to arizona rp
I know they are, the point of the video was the story, so of course they're outdated. And I mentioned a lot of Arizona RP as the new biggest name out there
Still today i play rp on samp, i dont like gta 5 rp
It's completely fine, I'm not really into GTA 5 RP either :)
Даймонд рп говно. Тогда и сейчас если он есть конечно 🤣
Я не играл, поэтому хз даже, не буду подтверждать или опровергать 😂
i hate gta v rp so much , gta sa best gta
Thanks for sharing your opinion :D
I didn't play GTA 5 RP enough so I can't really compare.. valid if you think that way
