Why the fuck is the minimum price for hosting a race at 1.25m now? This is ridiculous. No wonder we are at <5 players lately.
-
It was changed due to low price racehosting by some players.
But 1.25m might be too much.It will be decreased to a bearable minimal price I assume.

Well as far as i know it is because it was really easy to host a race with 50k and get exp with races and upgrading levels was really easy because of that maybe thats why it is increased to make the level system bit better and harder

We have NO players. The only entertaining feature for alot of people are races then. I am often one who joins the server when it's empty and tries to populate it just by being online, talking to noobs and hosting some races. I am going to stop joining the server until this is changed back. Nobody cares about money on littlewhiteys. This is still a game. In my opinion race hosting should even be free if there havent been any races the last 60 minutes.

No need for the foul language. However, it was a typo in the script. I meant to put 250k instead of 1.25 mil. It has been fixed now.

why don you guys bring back the old system? was the shit , that's my humble opinion.

What are the advantages of bringing back the old system?
-
was easy to use and quick
-
What makes the current version slower to use and more complicated? You show up to the race lobby, type /racehost [total amount pool] instead of trying to divide the pool yourself, choose the race you want, choose laps, RP on or off, and vehicle and that's it. Its pretty straight forward. Sure, there are more options but ultimately, it's not difficult to operate.

first of all the place for host race isnt nice man second to enter you need to register and pay money (and that sucks ) the old was way nicer and adds adrenaline to the thing because someone can come kill you and steal you money that's why you need a partner to go with you just go with your infernus type /racehost x x x and that's it was brilliant
-
So you're suggesting to make it unprotected and tax free?
-
For me current version is the best :)

Being one of the most active players atm, i can confirm your statement is a lie.
Playercount is decent, depending of the time, it's lower in the mornings and increases to 15-20 every day. Even more at weekends.
The new players nor the regulars dont participate in races much because the low prizes wont attract anyone since the only races atm are the ones where winner gets around 20k - thats less than you get from one export (from most of the cars). These are hosted mainly by 2 players and none of them is you.
You may think racing is the only entertaining feature but you cant speak on behalf of the manority.

I like old system more than this too...

We play this game for fun, whats wrong hosting a race for 50K ? When players interested on some feature and some regulars start to cry about it then staff remove / hard that feature. This is what making lw have changes every month. Lately LW player count was increasing, because players was interested on the server features but its not gonna continue if you make things hard for them because they are interested in it.
Example - One time server money system increased, bank limit, etc. Then some regulars start to cry about it without a reason, then staff decreased everything (bank limit, earing ways) and what happened? Most the regulars who cried about the high bank limit and easy earnings they left the server because of hug decrease.

Its like you telling that you don't like i7 computer but you like P3 computer. What point you're basing on ?

Having bigger prizes for races doenst reduce the fun of the game, does it? But it can attract more ppl to join the fun. By your logic it would also be fun to race without any prizes but that would leave the gameplay uncompetitive ::)
-
Why don't we just change the level system a bit? Like if the race has a high amount of money to win you can earn more XP, and when it's a low amount of money to win you earn not that much XP, just to prevent the 'abuse' if that is the reason the minimum price is increased to 250k

I feel like there should be two racing systems in the server,the old one and the new one,but ofc thats not gonna happen.
IMO, The new racing system is easier but i want the old /racehost x x x back,

Ok i guess we had enough OT and non sense even in this topic (not to mention a catastrophic point of view about the server's situation, which isn't any close to reality, luckly).
Now that it was cleared it was just a typo i guess we are done here :)

Can you explain this a bit more? What exactly isn't nice? The location, the mapping, the use of a door?
second to enter you need to register
Which is a security premise for getting a hand on cheaters.
and pay money
In intention to increase economy activity by spendings, creating value for money.
someone can come kill you and steal you money
Apparently that is still possible to an extend. The most obvious indicator for this is that you have to get out of your vehicle before getting inside the lobby which increases your chances to be damaged.
that's why you need a partner to go with you
You can still take someone with you though.
just go with your infernus type /racehost x x x and that's it was brilliant
Actually it was buggy, inefficient and very limited:
The racehost checkpoint vanished when your playerstate changed in streaming range.
The code had 30k lines with programming techniques from the early 2000's.
It regularly broke and conflicted with the duel arena, the textdraws or the map blip placement.
The racestart protection was less advanced.
Protected races (and everything associated) where non existent.
Everyone used Infernus only.
There were no dedicated air or sea races.
The system was limited to a certain number of tracks and could not be extended by new ones without losing the old races.
There was no automatic race hosting by the server. (This is btw where the taxes get invested in so you're basically financing more races by hosting them)
There were no track record leaderboards or race statistics.
No follow-up checkpoint indicators.
As much as i adore nostalgia but bringing that old system back would most likely mean a total overkill. Besides i remember that before the new system was added the races were about of the same popularity as right now, namely of none at all - so that wouldn't do any long term change either.
edit: Sorry Quickplay :-X
