Hi Lake10 Where have you been?
I too have had some time away from LFS, not so much playing other games/sims, Ive just not had the time to PC at all
I play only LFS now, and I'm not a big open wheeler fan so I've noticed a similar situation as you describe, however I think the lack of servers/racers you speak of is due to the time we "olders" go online looking for action
I've had some cracking TBO class racing just recently, but at 23:00 (GMT) and later its hard to find a good choice of servers running tintops anywhere other than BL1
I think many of us got to used to joining CTRA servers and became a bit lazy, we just went there all the time, it grouped all of us into servers where we could get good races with good racers. now its gone, we find these TBO servers like RSR & NDR have sprung up to fill the CTRA void.
In the past, when Ive had a good close race I try to add "good" people to my LFSworld buddie list then check before I go on next time, to see where and what my buddies are racing.
As Scawen has pointed out there are more players than ever, but I think spread a little thinner across the servers, especially late at night, but thats to be expected I suppose.
I look forward to racing with you again soon Lake, I remember having some very close battles with you a few years back, so look out for me, and Ill do the same.
Im pleased Scawen has said something about all the "Devs are alive" posts, hopfully some people will stop posting trivia/spam in the test patch section also.
Its a shame the most vocal people on this forum, seem to be the most unhappy about development ect, rest assured there are many of us not so vocal here who continue to support the Dev team. I think of it this way, imagine trying to do your job (or school etc) with someone shouting in your ear "have you done it yet? where is it? now? where? whynot?"
I would eventually have to lash out .
All good things come to those who wait
