Trackmania frei Version wird drastisch beschnitten!

- We are still working on rules for the freezone servers and may ultimately bring back the oppoturnity for players to host in freezone, under some rules enabling the game to run longer on itself (since we lost the Massive advertising revenues) but I can't tell exactly when it will be ready
- Until then, we also work on a way for hosts to put their servers in front of the FreeZone ones. In fact, we have encountered some players making fake accounts or some critics that the most populated servers should not necesserly be the first. We will try to use coppers to make hosts with commited players to have an easier access to the top of the list. It is a test, like we intend to do more in the month to come.
- There will certainly be a compromise, but we will try to find the rules that enable the best experience for all type of players, including hosts, while enabling the game to balance the recent lost of revenues. And I think it is better than simply letting it down. So far, thanks to favorite servers and direct access, we are quite confident that most players that really want to play the game, that they can. It seems that the main challenge is in making the host enjoying the situation.
- For the hosts, I would invite them to look at the manialive recent release forum.maniaplanet.com/viewforum.php?f=46 . It will take a little time before it gets better, but it may be a necessity for future freezone servers. It is also a tool, dedicated to hosts, that we are working since months on it, and I hope that it is, at least, a little signal that we care and that it is the best answer to somebody that would say that we are going to remove dedicated from maniaplanet: it is way the contrary!
- The number of players in Nations Forever is a record in the month of December. It is a record old of 30 months.

El Fuego, we are working on the rules and will update on this question later. Today, you need to use hide_server 1, to make it work.
you can create yourselves a nations account if you want to test it.

for all of this, I would like you to have a little patience. If you played the game for so many years, welcoming free players by so many, I think it still has to do with Nadeo making it possible, and we are talking of a scale of time quite smaller than that.

thanks
Florent
