Yeah, people like you is the reason me and my team ram. All of you need to chill, berkay is bringing back this server for all of us, if you cant handle ramming and you're raging over pixels, from a Mclaren F1 that rams you, You have issues. Ramming has NOTHING to do with cheats being used. If you have a problem with ramming, simply LEAVE and SWITCH to another lobby

Sounds fair enough. Thanks !

Please, get off achievement system, while using any cheat.

People's fun should be protected too. So I propose a temp ban. You get caught cheating, you get unable to play for two days!
How sounds that?

With my level of English, it makes more sense without that "NOT" , is it?

let me explain it to you, you are in a MP race, you use a hack and then you get banned from MP, so you can only acces private an SP events. and when you logg in again (the next day) you can acces MP events again.

the temp bann is a good idea, but after how many times do they stop hacking? My idea is : after 3 temp banns a perm bann.

I already have gotten the idea, but if you read berkay's statement again, you'll see that "not" does not belong there. It actually changes the meaning of the phrase.
Nevermind, I got the idea, and agree with it.

They will stop by themselves, when they'll notice that they play 10 minutes then take a 2 days break! You really don't have to permban anyone. Just give them big penalties.
For instance, you can delete the car he was cheating in. Who will still be cheating, then? )

Same like in RL, if you're speeding you won't loose your driving license for good, but the right to drive for 1 to 3 months. At least in my country.

? Yes or No?

[berkay2578]

Hachiko, everything is already explained in the first post...

J0nathan, "while not in event/race" -> "while in freeroam". I already told everyone that cheating in MP will result in an instant permaban so the "not" fits perfectly.

[junniorboy]

Have any date for this server ??

You added them in lucky draw? Wow
"Race drops & drop rates will stay the same, which means you can get drops of items that are boost-only"

[JasonKajiwara]

I think its very fair. If the only thing thats boost is the card packs. That's perfectly fine. Just for races, make them pay a bit more cause they pay too little especially if some cars are 500 to 1m. Unless you lower the car prices to how they were like tier 1's were like 20k and then the tier 2's went up to like 100 something k. and Then the M3 GTR was 300K.

Nah, the default prices were fine. We'll have to come up with IGC values for the all other boost cars though.

But I just can't support it because I don't have money(26USD a week for lunch....)

nobody obligates you to pay anything! the game will be 99% free to play for everyone.you will only pay for buying cardpacks and aftermarket parts witch randomly you will win some in races!does that motivates you enough and not to pay anything?
DO REMEMBER THAT THIS GAME IS OFICIALY DEAD!!!

And if you would ask EA then it stays that way. Licensing & copyrights ring a bell? Dedicated server = take-down notification. I don't understand why almost nobody questions this. The server being just an emulation tool for a dead client will not be a reason to be able to continue in a legit way with this idea. It's not about emulation, it's about car licenses with other companies and copyright of the need for speed games in general. **** whatever ToS says - take-down notice will come first and then the talking can start. And the talking will be a monologue by EA, not a dialogue with the community. Either continue off-grid with offline server version, or dig your own grave and create something with a dedicated IP to hunt down for EA's lawyers. Just my two cents, based on what my guts think about this.

That's actually the crux of the matter, the scripted code, the smallest polygon, all the car designs and brands are intellectual properties of many companies and if someone is using it without permission than that particular someone gets into real trouble, it even doesn't matter if that someone does it as a non-profit project.

As for me i'm already okay with it as an offline version, and if it gets sometimes updates and maybe some tweaks and content i'm already overly happy and willing to donate ocassionally a few bucks via paypal but everything else would be a very serious copyright violation and i don't want that someone get's into trouble just because i want to play the game.

At least its much safer to distribute it as an offline version.

[polloteca]

i still wait for that one day.. in the distant future, where we can play with the cars EA staff didn't want to release or work into, and more (like ferraris and such)
