Does any ever race online?

[Marshall_Petersen]

I've been on for a few days and haven't seen anybody online. I'm in the Pacific Time Zone, so maybe not very many people are playing while I'm up? But I just can't believe NOBODY is on.

There normally aren't a lot of people but normally especially on the weekends if you host your own race with kf3 or kz1 and sometimes mini 60 people will eventually start coming on. It works for me.

Thanks for the input everybody!

Yep it's strange before they 're 20 sessions with 5 or more drivers on it what happened?

For a test I started some 24/7 servers with just the original tracks and karts. I hope that some new drivers will be encouraged to play online.
The servers use rotating tracks and quickrace settings.

You also have to realize that there arent that many people that own the game in general, so theres only so many people online at one time regardless of how many servers are up

I know, I think I'm long enough here.    Let me test it for 2 or 3 weeks, if it doesn't work, it's one or two mouse clicks for me to end it.

this wokrs best with tracks that are included in game as more people have those tracks then modded ones

It was your proposal to use standard settings.

... i was just saying that there arent many poeple online so dont expect to see much change

That's exactly our problem. There are more than 4300 forum members and 99% of them don't show up online. If you have any good ideas how to get more people online, my ears are open and I'll do what I'm able to do. We have to ensure long term success of KRP, only if KRP stays successful (money for PiBoSo   ) we'll get upgrades after version 1.0     

PS: The first 24h aren't representative, but at least 28 different drivers used the servers, about 35% of them multiple times.
(for pessimists: only ~0.6% of the forum members used them -> dibu, shut down the crap    )

PiBoSo hosted servers in Mini60 at Rye House got at least 6 people in the server every day. Back in the good 'ole days of Beta 9

Let's hope that at least some more people go online now if they find servers with easy settings.

Btw I've just set all servers to use standing start.
If changes at the servers are wanted, everyone is welcome to make suggestions.

If possible you need to black list  Hugo Hernandez, polucho, JesusRB, lluc ibanez, and alberto. they are first off intent wrecking people like myself and second off they are also wrecking each other. if we want more people online we dont want people like them representing the online experience

Done. Blacklist is active.

i did see this today i have video if any one needs to see it its a shame really we want fair races (i dont even care if i finish last ) but players ramming each other just put others off

[dibu]

Post the link here or send me a PM. If necessary I'll extend the blacklist.

[JesusRB]

I find this laughable, are we the only ones who give strokes?

[JesusRB]

when we walked into a server, it insults us, and then you complain that accidents do

[JesusRB]

sorry, I have over 300 people lag
