 |
|
Hello all.
This strangeness just happened today. I'm not entirely sure what an upcoming loss in advertising revenue has to directly do with denying TMNF people access to completely independent servers run and paid for by private citizens - maybe someone can fill in the gaps for me.
Currently, a stack of extra 'official' Nadeo servers have popped up called 'freezones' for the TMNF brigade to play on. Again, more confusion - if they're concerned about a loss in income, why spend more money on free servers?? :S
ANYWAY... I know most Mad Lappers have bought the game by now so this is irrelevant to you, but there is a way for TMNF players to still connect to servers like Mad Laps. TMNF accounts are still allowed 3 servers in their favourite lists. If ML isn't in your favourite list then you can add it simply by copy + pasting the following into the in-game browser bar:
tmtp://#addfavourite=madlapseek
As you can imagine, there are quite a few pitchforks, torches and angry mobs about the TM official forums...
Admins, please edit the link if the server login is incorrect, ta.

So basically what your saying munk, is people who havent payed for it only have acces to 3 servers if they put them in there favourites?
Not including the free servers they've put up?

Yeah, but the important part is there is still a way for TMNF players to add favourites, it's just a little awkward to do.

You can also add (and remove!) servers from here -> http://official.trackmania.com/tmf-playerpage/
So basically you still have access to all the servers, except you have to find out what the serverlogin is, and you have to add it to your favourites by using the link posted by Munkhi
And yeah I agree, it's really weird they've decided to do this, and a lot of the community is saying that this is the end of TM

so that's what all those Zone servers are about!
Florent's reasons for adopting this are a little spurious - blaming loss of revenue from ingame advertising - I can't remember seeing any at all for a couple of years. More like his new bosses are squeezing the pips 
So never more will we see thirty low-commitment players crowded onto Mad Laps on a random night just soaking up the goodness of our tracks. Shame
