Why didn't you use alt:V instead of Rage MP?

[Harrisonius]

The decision is obviously already made, but I don't think the numbers argument is really a valid one. When I wanted to play on GTA:W, I downloaded Rage MP. I wasn't just blindly browsing through the server list of an MP platform that I'd never heard of — I downloaded it because the community was attractive. And at the end of the day, it's all on GTA V, so it's not like the barrier of entry is exactly a big one once you've overcome the hurdle of getting the game. People literally just have to download a different platform, there is very little change for the end user.

 

FiveM also wasn't big in the beginning, which I know because I played on FiveM servers before there were any with more than 32 slots. What made FiveM big was good communities with impressive features (NoPixel, DOJRP, Twitch RP, Family RP, etc.), it wasn't the other way around.

Is ALT:V really that much better? What I've seen from RageMP and FiveM has definetely not impressed me (about as bad as SAMP before lagshooting was fixed).

 

Obviously it's not gonna change but I hope RageMP really does improve a ton.

Both platforms have it's pros and cons.

 

Personally I feel alt:V is rather more promising compared to RageMP, with it's continuous updates, better sync, helpful & great community and not too complex visuals & stuff. RageMP may have more users/players and bigger activity, that's mainly because there are more active and already largely developed (english) servers and it may have been around much longer than alt:V. Platform alt:V on other hand lacks many servers (lacks english ones, most are german there AFAIK), hence it has much less players and servers (pointing to unofficial statistics comparison above), but it does offer much simpler game joining than RageMP and writing a code is also equally easy to RageMP as well (my own experience), provided that people know how to code. 

 

As far as I can see, the minds of which platform is going to be used has been already made up. Discussion between two platforms appears to be welcome here, but in the end, it might not matter too much at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future.

I played an Alt:V server some time ago. It's overrated, the client itself that is.

 

I much prefer Rage:MP, even if Rage has its cons... that's everything in the end.

I'm absolutely no expert on this, but I'm guessing that choosing between clients must have been a pretty big decision in the beginning, and not one taken lightly. Albeit I haven't actually played alt:V before. I was on FiveM for a bit but there was some to-do with the developers I believe?

 

Either way, I guess it is what it is now. I've seen what RageMP can do and it's ballin'.

Alt:V is a good client, but it isn't popular enough. It is an unripe client and needs time to grow up and to enlarge its community.
RageMP actually is literally growing up everyday. During the last year there were something like 15 thousands players and nowadays they count more or less 50/60 thousands players. RageMP is moving toward a stable version, an optimized version, and will probably reach its goal before the end of this year.

Yep. I've been following RAGE since 2017, still remember days when George (owner) was very active in the community and he was responding to almost everyone who needed help. It's really impressive how they've grown in the last 2 years.

Im p sure you can have more people on a rage server.

[HP3]

If I may ask, what makes AltV better than Rage or FiveM for that matter? It looks really basic to me.

Alt v has better sync than rage and fjve

[Deewens]

And its lighter too for the client and the server.

What is Alt:V? I never knew there was a third multiplayer mod for GTA V. I think should stick to RageMP
