So, let's say I decided to move the server completely to a dedicated server and that the said server will be exactly the same as the offline server. There won't be magical powers telling you to install Python, Java or anything else. You'll just open the launcher, put your login data in it and voila.
Now, as you know servers aren't made of fairies and they require payment when under load. This means there will be options to support development and hosting.
I thought of something like:
Completely free2play
All cars will be IGC, no boost cars
Skill Mods and Performance Parts will be IGC, only a/m parts will be for boost
Race drops & drop rates will stay the same, which means you can get drops of items that are boost-only
Card packs, however, will only be for boost just like the original title
Of course, this isn't the final form of what's on my mind. I'm not even sure if I'll ever move to a dedicated server but it just seems worthy especially after the Vitaleks quarrel. I'd like to note that if said server does happen and my team & I add UDP (aka MP), I myself will start a development for anti-cheat, game features and re-balancing of cars+nos.
Do vote on the poll and share your opinion/thoughts.
Berkay, any Idea if ramming will be buggy? Or will everything work smoothly as the online version did. Looking forward to ramming with my crew when UDP comes out completed :v
Edit: Also thank you for creating the server, all of us owe you much thanks for all your work. And thanks for taking the anti-cheat idea to mind.
I think it's kinda cool to have a set dedicated server p2p or f2p, But I do think you should still release a version for running you're own private MP Servers. That was my main plan. Hosting a private server for me and a few friends.
is it possible to play on that server with a banned acc? cuz then i'l totally support the server
(my acc was banned for only having a bad internet connection, but is fixed now)
So, special editions (cop ed., drag ed. etc.) would be available for IGC as well?

How much money would you charge for SB? Same as EA did, or less? More?

That sounds awesome. But would there still be an option to play completely offline (what we have now)?
Also, wouldn't EA kick your butt for creating your own MP server and selling SB?
It's good idea. I can donate something but for now I blocked my bank account (I lost my phone :v) so I must wait.
If u want- if I have some time I can draw something- for website(if u will have one) or for the launcher
Well, I think that U should keep everything for IGC.
If I do that, I'll have to use pay2play. Which is something I hate very much.

I won't open-source the project, so no.

I'll still use bitcoin, but it will be through something like . So your answer is yes.

I will risk getting %100 CPU Load on the servers just to deliver more smooth gameplay than EA's servers. The faster your internet, the better the experience.

As I have said, if I don't do such a thing then people just won't support it. I don't get donations so this is a legit way of doing it.

I didn't do prize tables yet, community will do them. I'm not like EA.

I'm still not certain on that topic but it will probably be no.

considering the server needs funds, i think the A/M boost is a good idea, i mean, the aftermarket doesn't affect your racing directly, and the drops will also give other players that don't have a way to support to get those parts
totaly free for everyone.i know it costs you some money to host it but as you sayed before,you won't share udp(MP)for evryone so they can host their own server.if you build this just because you enjoyed it now that you reached to this level with the game you become greedy.that's what i don't like.if you do something for fun and share with everyone!don't keep just for yourself.
