Well maybe some of you don't even remember it if you have been playing for years, but as I'm quite new I still remember it: I chose the clown skin and one of the players that I remember was j0j0, someone that since then I have only seen once again. The other one I remember was Ace, who was teaching me some basics about the server (in that moment I didn't know he is admin). I remember that I tryied to run in a race all around San Andreas, but my car crashed and I got stranded in the middle of the desert. Shortly after, Ace came with his helicopter, landed and got out of it, and then I started to shoot him with my deagle because I haden't seen his nick and I thought that he wanted to kill me. He told me to press G to get in as a passenger and he flew to the Pirate Ships, hovering over them and telling me that you get money by staying there. I asked him how he managed to find me in the desert and he told me about the /locate command.
Well, and right now I don't remember much else. What do you remember?
-
First time I played here.. don't remember but I know that at the beginning I met Shadowfire and we would buy props together, I also was in V for a short time, but back then I used the name ok_right and I had no idea why we even had to wear a tag xD
-
Uhm..I remember Blewert dueled me and i lost.. :-* :-*
..And i remember that Scott was so nice and with his heli showed me what should i do and how to start. ;)
-
i joined the server for first time during my exams and also my friend told me about lw server.
it was great, firstly i wasn't able to get the main idea of the game(samp), i used to shoot like in one direction without running without aiming.
i was not knowing hot to earn money and save, also was not knowing how to register. it took me 3-4 days to know how to register. lolol ;D
and i also used to get killed again and again and save $500 in bank, assuming that this is the only way of earning cash.
it was a very lololol experience for me at first time.
-
It was on 2006 december. I joined the first time and i remember player and Admin Lisa. She helped me in the game. And i remember that when i joined, i had been walking at Carribean Ship :D well when i rejoined after long 1.5 years break, i missed LW's and i came back in 09 August. I didn't knew the members, only Dugi and Popz, whom are legends. I tried to be in the good gang, and remember that, Siwy_PL invited me to the super gang of Lw's(MY first day!). So there were a good times...
-
Hmm I don't remember it very well. It was about... 3-4 years ago I remember, cuz I was beginning new school. Firstly I was a bit buffled, wtf? Why are they using sawns and uzis instead of deagle, combat shotgun and mp5? Ive used them, cause in SP this weps rocks, it's like HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT! etc. I remember that the server wasn't synced correctly and I was blaming many ppl about cheating, when they were entering a car I couldn't see...
I was ussually camping on the ship, buying weps, checking on the TAB who is really rich and chasing him down (every day, the money wasnt saving). One day some DoctorOctopus or something like that (I haven't seen him after that) with his friends invited me to gang and thaught about properties.
I also remember that I was usually making a gang called "PolishMafia" and do some nabish things like killing ppl 5vs1 ;P Good times, good times... ;D
Oh, and I was avoiding shooting clans, because I was scared of having a war with the whole clan, but after a few weeks i've noticed that the clans do not care if I will attack them or not, they would kill me anyway. Trust noone ;)
-
I joined and then Drugz invited me to [187] and then i bouthgt props and all was about getting money for me.
-
Well when i first time gone to lw, i spawned and right away got shot in the face by som dude...wasnt very nice start :P
-
I remember when i first joined we couldnt register, had to save up money and buy properties everytime we wanted to play.
I remember doing stunts to earn the first 10k for tatoo parlour and standing on the ship, sending splatt all the money i made who would safely bank it so we could buy props.
-
I was playing on dutch server's for a long time but then a few got closed and i got banned from one :-[ so i googled sa-mp server's and i found LW's, went on the server and looked good i always liked the weather here, and i went on ship till i had 7000$ then i'd go gamble and till i was to 100k table and if i won i was going to buy weapons (if i lost i begged for moneys) :-X
That's all i remeber i also remeber that scott rly liked to fight on ship lol. [Tw]Scottshagger
-
i heard for LWs when i was admin on eDiT's stunt server, those were the times... When i came, i was just driving around, going to some races and having fun.. trying to learn the LWs routine :D then i heard for nice clans, so i applied for JOKER, got denied coz of my age i think :D then i saw V on server, dueled RyDeR and lost ofc (i never fought before)
:DD was nice tho :DD
-
1 friend told me about SA:MP, and this was the first server that i played.
-
Lol, I remember joining a random server on the official list which was .. littlewhiteys :) I kinda got the concept of the gamemode pretty fast I think, I earned 10k by standing on the ship, and then I bought the tattoo palour, the ZIP store and so on..anyways I was fighting [PvA]Bib3k (now [uL]dronZe, hero) some hours/days/minutes/seconds after I joined LW, and he wanted to duel me some more. So we had some duels @ VRock and he told me to apply for PvA. I got in (yay) and there I was, [PvA]Dominator..ACE was one of our members :p Good times.
Funny sidenote: I got in PvA while I didnt knew about lead-aiming, lol.
-
I remember joining this server with some real life friends of me, I was together with Wesley and if i'm right my name was sers[NL] or something. We all got bored playing on Wesley's server so we went to a public one, LittleWhiteys had most players in that time so we decided to join. It was quite messy since we all didn't know how to register, so we kept coming back without our stats saved.
-
When I first joined LW's there was no accounts, no saving stats etc.. It was just standing on the ship (defending yourself) and getting 10k to buy the tattoo parlor. After that, buying some more props and getting guns. That was so much fun, and the pirate ship was a constant battlefield. I also remember Umek helping me out alot and having fun.
My first samp friend was mook (think he is [BB] or [BA] now)
-
First day I started playing sa-mp in 2007 I started playing littlewhiteys, I have no idea why littlewhiteys.. but it was fun and not fun I gt killed all the time I had no money for anything I didnt know what to do .. but then I all learned my self and maybe some people helped me like Hollander he was my first sa-mp friend. :D
-
I cant remember when I first played, I remember I tried LW's because I played on MTA race before hand and heared about littlewhiteys and SAMP...first time I played there was about 60 of us just driving around SA not really shooting just driving lol, was weird :P
-
i started to play in this server since my second day on samp, about at november 2007.
i found it on the official servers list (rip) and found it was funny, so i started to enter daily and i got used to the gm
when i started to play i was always hunted by some eVos cause i always bought their properties to start making money, so started war between me and then..lately i met some Jokers member and i allied with them against eVos: since those days i'm their ally
those were really funny days, when u had to wait to enter the server cause it was always full O_O though it already had 200 slots..try to imagine what it meant to play LW with all those people, what a fun!
wish we could come back to that
-
april somethin 2009 i came here as my first sa:mp server and then i came and flamed [OcB] and [SMK] and then i joined [SMK]
then i left and joined [UB] for a long time then joined [V] ([UB] was gang back then) and then jojo make me med with no [UB] tag no morez. then i said fu and left [V} for 1 day then jojo drug me back and me [V]Southsider oh and then it was 2010 ;D
-
when i started i had around 1100 kills and a kill ratio of 0.3 and all i did was racing ;D
-
and then jojo make me med with no [UB] tag no morez.
Jets quite did it as he made UB a clan = no 2 tags ;)
-
When I played in this server for the first time, I was crushed by Freak so much times lol :-X
-
i spent my first days at collecting money from pirate ship.in those days it was fun at pirate ship
now nothing left on p ship.every time i tried to buy properties i got killed.spent whole many to this same thing.
-
:o three people remember me, yay :D
Umm my first time i joined as "Dr.Zoidberg" (and a few other names) then i decided on ACE (dunno why...). Anyways i joined LW's from offical list after trying a couple of other GM's and i met Benny. He taught me about the ship, spawn weps, properties, etc then i would hang around with eVo and Benny and fight other people.
After that i was hooked :D and kept playing then i got admin, so now when i abuse /me its not abuse :D
The other thing i remember was being shit scared (like everyone else) and Lisa/Lilly and being banned once :o but i was unbanned so all is well :D
-
Anyone remember Hollander?
-
Anyone remember Thompson_Cro?
I was dbing all the time cuz my hand was broken, so I was playing only with one(left) :P
And one day was banned by [JOKER]DGhost, reason evade :S
I didnt cheated, but every player who got CRO in name was banned, so he think i evaded and got banned.
I wasnt made an ban appeal cuz didnt know how xD
-
Anyone remember Hollander?
Name rings a bell but cant quite remember him...
-
Anyone remember Hollander?
Yeah, i always thought it was you undercover lol.
-
and being banned once :o but i was unbanned so all is well :D
I didn't know that someone who has been banned (even if only temporarily) could be later elected as admin.
.
-

Yeah, i always thought it was you undercover lol.
Rofl, He use to play here before me and he was reallyyy kind he teached me the basics the ways to shit back then I use to meet him at airport cause I only knew that way.
-
lil bit camping near 24/7 with hutch :D
-
Somewhere in 06, I came on shouting "SWK's BACK BITCHES", then left after realizing the only weapon was deagle, and did the same on Partyserver
-
then left after realizing the only weapon was deagle, and did the same on Partyserver
Yeah that's what I used to say many times: only deagle made the server be empty, whereas the good default weapons attract more new players.
And about Partyserver, I will have to try it, I have heard many times that they like db very much. ;D
-
First time playing?
F-U-N
Now?

-
masterbeef, are you saying that now the server is bad???
With the last implementations they have made (like the good default weapons, the car exports and the new duel arena), now the server is quite good, and of course much better than before.
-
I liked it more back then, in late '08 when I started SA-MP, LW's was my first server, I just chose it because I downloaded SA-MP from LW's mirror.
Started off with deagle only, later asked how to get those weapons, invading the ship with friends, buying properties etc.
Now that last point ain't available anymore, there quite isn't any more money needed, because you spawn with "those" weapons. I could say that I don't like the weapons system atm, that's harsh tho, it's ok, not good as it used to.
I haven't been on LW's for many months last to this year, as I rejoined, I saw forum trolls like Gryphus talking about making it easier for noobs, while DBing these, no offence.
-
It's not the server itself, it's the overall mentality. When you join as a random stranger/newbie you get scared away because it's hard to find a 1 vs 1 fight. If you finally manage to get a 1 vs 1 fight, the cockroach army arrives. Then people say you should duel them, but what's wrong with an old fashion 1 vs 1 streetfight without others mixing into the fight? And I know, I'm guilty aswell, at least in the past. But 'now' is what matters, and right now it's fucked up. Time has changed, but the people don't care. They just want to kill the few new players over and over again so they don't have to do a hard fight with someone who can stand up for himself. If someone is good enough to stand up for himself, he gets gangbanged, instead of receiving some respect.
But I don't want to say too much about it anymore, I realise the good old time with 150 players will never come back. There was less gangbanging at that time, most of the places you went to fight was just random madness, almost everyone for himself. Ofcourse there were gangs, but at that time a gang meant something. Now it's just a tag, with a bunch of idiots fighting the weaker. Like you need a gang for that.

You say something as unbelievable as that it was better to start with only deagle, and then you dare to say I'm a troll?? :o Seriously boy, you have to give me a little of what you are taking, it must be awesome!!!! ;D ;D
It's as if in a car forum, I said that a Dacia is better than a Ferrari and besides I said the Ferrari fans are trolls...
Also, you said that now you don't need money because you start with weapons, but this is false because you still need money to buy more ammo and other weapons like rifle, AK47 or M4. You can also use the money to put bounties, host races, buy special items, etc.
And of course I defend an easier server, because everyone has the right to have fun and not only a minority.

-
Gryphus really interesting and stuff, but why do you start the same discussion in every topic?
Just don't go offtopic, and if im right youve created plenty of topic for your point.
-
why do you start the same discussion in every topic?
Just don't go offtopic
I didn't start it this time.
-
I admire that you care so much for this server Gryphus, but unfortunately people have personal issues against you. And not to demotivate you, but nothing much is gonna change as you've might seen.
-
but unfortunately people have personal issues against you.
Well I have also some friends in the game, what happens is that they don't make as much noise as my enemies (some of my friends don't even post in the forum), and others have just left the game, so that all is why it seems that everyone is against me, but actually I know that fortunately that's not the case.
Also, if it were true that everyone is against me for being new and for claiming a fair server playable by everyone, then it would perfectly explain why the server is empty.
And not to demotivate you, but nothing much is gonna change as you've might seen.
Well, some things have changed to better, like the mentioned default weapons, the car exports and the new duel arena.
-
I agree. A lot of people are suggesting "make this easier" -- for the newbies. I do not think there should be more than a free Deagle when you spawn, but I guess the popularity of the idea won. I've always wanted to make challenges in the server, working toward things so that there's a sense of achievement.
-
Well here's a challenge. Make the laming stop and make the server population increase to at least 100 players at primetime. Good luck.
-
This is just unbelievable!!! better with only deagle??? :o :o :o OMG!!!
Then I reply the same as I did in another thread:
Ohh yeah, and we can also make newcomers to be disabled and have their legs cut, so they have to move on wheelchairs and they cannot walk, run nor drive any vehicles. They have to earn enough money to buy some orthopedic or robotic legs... But wait a moment!!! if they have no legs and are on wheelchairs, they cannot flee from those who want to kill them, losing all they money they have earned. Yeah!!! great idea!!!
Would that be difficult enough for you, sir? >:( ???
You seem to be missing that what many people want is INSTANT FUN!!!!
If you like to start with nothing and going up, why don't you make LW like one of those horrible RP servers in which you start with no weapons, with no money and even with no ability to drive any vehicles, and in which you have to use the public transportation, find a job, pay your driving license and all that stuff??
Starting with only deagle would be good ONLY if your weapons were saved like your stats and your money in the bank (although in that case weapons should be more expensive), because it would be more similar to the single player mode, in which you are advancing but your progress is saved (I think those RP servers are that way too).
-
Gryphus, I agree that now when its almost imposible for newbies to enter ammo without dying giving them only deagle is bad (causes people to leave). But that rly wasnt that bad when everyone was starting with nothing. However most of the players dont agree with me in this so i guess thats just my personal feeling ::)
-
and being banned once :o but i was unbanned so all is well :D
I didn't know that someone who has been banned (even if only temporarily) could be later elected as admin.
.
It was a mistake so i was never really properly banned but instead banned by mistake (as a player i was falsely banned about 2 times due to me joinign just when the cheater left and me taking his id - oh the fun)
-

pointless post is pointless ::)
-
gryphus doesnt know what LW was like a year ago.
the gameplay on LW changed drastically. we do not have 200 players and 50-100 players with only deagle... right now only regulars play and like 5 players of 25 are noobs. a few years ago around 100-150 out of 200 were noobs! spawn weapons is the best thing that could have happened. its true that it turned LW just into some random DM server but whatever.. if it increases the amount of players im OK with it.
-
To those who say it was better with only deagle because now you don't have to earn money, I must tell you that you are wrong, because you still need to earn money to buy more ammo, since the uzis with 300 bullets run out of ammo in a moment. Also, there are other weapons that aren't given to you (like rifles, AK47 and M4), so right now it's a balanced intermediate point between the instant fun and the need to earn money.
Also, remember that you can spend money on many other things and not only on weapons: hosting races, putting bounties, buying properties, special items, etc.
Gryphus, I agree that now when its almost imposible for newbies to enter ammo without dying giving them only deagle is bad (causes people to leave). But that rly wasnt that bad when everyone was starting with nothing. However most of the players dont agree with me in this so i guess thats just my personal feeling ::)
With "starting with nothing" you mean when the bank didn't save your money, don't you? well, that's even worse, because if you want to have good weapons you don't only have to withdraw money from the bank and go to Ammu with stress, paying attention to your possible enemies wanting to kill you, but also you first have to earn all that money from scratch!!!! when a player joins a server he wants to start killing from the just moment he starts playing, and not after an entire hour of hard work. Banks not saving money would be good only if, apart from the good default weapons and the car exports, we had also the races autohosted by the system.
But Miczi, if you like to start with no money like in the old times, you can always use an unregistered nick, or just use your current one but without saving any money in the bank.
I can understand that some people want to work for things instead of having them all from the very first moment. However, all those things that you have to get, should be saved and not lost each time you leave the game (like in single player mode), because otherwise it gets really annoying and frustrating to be forced to repeat the same hard work over and over again. Can you imagine that in single player mode (in San Andreas or in any other game) your progress weren't saved, and each time you wanted to use a certain vehicle or weapon you had to repeat the whole story to unlock that thing?? It would suck ehh?
If you like to start with only deagle, take a look on my new suggestion: http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13426.0.html (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13426.0.html)

best lw-no cbug no switching
i used to remember those days when it was harder for everyone
and guess what?
we used to get 100 players then and i couldnt even get into lws cus it was full
-
With "starting with nothing" I meant to start off with Deagle only.
But as Bikey said, that was with an average of ~120 players online, when you didn't even dream about a multiplayer for SA :-*

no you can ask any old school players the limit was 100-170 or somewhat and it was hard to get on sometimes
-
The limit changed over time, idk why it's 200 (197 with NPC's) now. Should just change the limit to 100 and change it back if/when we get more people.

-
I think that the limit was increased with the new version of samp (dunno which). Yeah, decreasing it may make the server look crowded.
Gryphus, im writing it on the phone so ill say it shortly. Samp is a game one of a kind and lw is a server one of a kind. Back when the gamemode was rly dificult we had a full server. Im one of those ppl who wanted to make it easier and now i see that it was wrong.

i have not much time on samp...

I can talk a lot about this, but like you, I will be quick: you all say always the same, but I'm sure that this server being full some time ago and now being empty, is for many other reasons (like the official tab), and that if the old, harder gamemode were now brought back, the number of players wouldn't be increased or even reduced.
-
You will not understand how fun it was, at least for me (remember that I was a noob also) when I had to watch out as fuck to stay alive on the ship for 5 min or something like that to get that 10k for basic weapon. And deagle on the ship wasn't really that bad because most of the ppl there were using it.
I remember that a short time after the bounty system was implemented, when there was about 100 ppl online admin put 2mil bounty on someone from eVo :D The whole server was going after him, it was crazy. I've tried to crash a plane into him but i missed :D good times, it's very sad that it seems like they will never return...
-
Yeah Miczi, I'm not saying that those old times weren't fun, I'm just saying that coming back to the old game probably wouldn't attract more people nowadays.

dificult=fun
u gotta admit we love challenges
there was ALWAYS something to do
id stand in the ship banking 20k then sometimes buying guns and all but the challenging lw was a good lw

yep but noone was lame enough to use rustlers they knew it was lame and they dont want it done on them
dbers wasnt much of a prob back then they were very little to mostly just newbs creating gangs and learning how the game works
-
