All Server empty now :-( Players missing

Post by Flexman » Mon Dec 13, 2004 8:05 am

Since the Version 1.0 is out I never had a race with more than 6-7 other guys. All servers are empty now (at least in Europe) and you have to have luck to find 7 opponents in a cup for some few races.

The Playtrix Christmas server which is the only one that is well visited is not really interesting for owners of the full version because cups with only 3 tracks which always are the same has not the same fun like cups in 0.86 with 16 players and many funny tracks.

Concerning the 0.86 there still are players but also now only the half than there were before. As they do not like the new version or unfortunately do not want to pay for that I hope you do not turn off the 0.86 servers because then these players will be gone.

I hope you do something to solve this situation if it doesn't change within the next time. Maybe you consider other restrictions for players who did not buy the licence (like only have one color, not able to use the track editor, etc.). But if they only can race 3 tracks this also limits the possibilities of players who paid for the game, because they still can only race against opponents in the demo server unless there are not more registered players. :( And as the single-computer multiplayer functions were not improved in the new version this game still lives from it's network multiplayer function!

One reason for my part is that it is not fun to drive againts antislider with slider/anyother car because players can choose their cars freely. It would be nice to have a full version server with random car -mode as in demo-server. Or rotating fixed car server.

Maybe with time more players move from 0.86b to 1.0.

There is already one: The Dutch United Server by Bubby is online most of the time. But like all the other servers, it's empty.

I don't really think so because also the European 0.86 servers are empty now. :(
