KeremTMN Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If there are 3000 people on the server, usually at least 1500 people go from Calais to Duisburg. What do you think is the reason why this route is so popular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Pegasus Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Players enjoy meeting and socializing with others on the CD road, as nobody wants to travel alone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codeize Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Simply because the vast majority of players want to interact with other players, some people enjoy seeing the carnage that routinely occurs on the C-D road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Nomad Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 After looking at the picture, I fail to comprehend why only so few players have a sense of right and wrong, let alone patience and the will to follow simple road traffic rules and game rules. "Back to basics" couldn't document more precisely the regression of once humane unique selling points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3749771 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The reason is simple. Because players use TruckersMP to meet a lot of people. We can meet a lot of people when we drive down the busy road of Calais Duisburg. No one wants to drive alone on an empty street. If I'm driving alone on an empty street, I'd rather drive offline with AI traffic. 1 Languages: EN / KRN / JAP | Discord: werzey TruckersMP Support System | Knowledge Base | TruckersMP Rules | Feedback System Report System | Appeal Ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite [SVK] Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 It's no about socializing, it's about interacting and most of the time messing around with others. Well documented in the picture that many of these don't give a damn about others, are not friendly or respectful and just craving for some attention. Why the Big Sur event looked nothing like this? Seesm like numbers of players is not the only thing that declined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jack Junior Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 C-D road gives pure enjoyment and pleasure to most especially when it involves crashing into people and blocking the road completely. It is one of the roads where you'll always see people compared to other parts of the map where you see no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming. Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 1500 people on CD at once is very exaggerated. Right now there are 2,500 people on Sim 1 and ~700 on CD and the surrounding areas. You can see traffic stats here - https://traffic.krashnz.com/ To answer your question, people like chaos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fs7- Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 This road has been very popular for maybe 5 years. People take the most crowded CD road in order not to travel alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think that it is not used by everyone. I stopped using it many years ago, when the "Idiots on the road" videos started becoming too common. I know that there are others who, like me, decided to avoid it. And since I mentioned those infamous videos, I think that they are the main reason for so many people to be on that road all of the time. Too many players only joined TruckersMP because they had watched those videos, liked what they saw in them, that's what they want and that they will not find anywhere else in the map, so they don't have reasons to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1411 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Cause every day is different and its just pretty funny to watch all the other driver going absolutely insane x) I still remember the time, when the Rotterdam - Europort road was pretty crowded and the chaos was just beautiful to watch.

Wraith645 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think it's popularity is due to the fact it connects 2 big cities, its not a long route just one long road and it requires no DLC. Saying that the Rotterdam port used to be like cd road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalEclipse Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 People love one-lane roads, and Calais Duisburg is the best one because it's entirely in the base map (no DLCs needed) and it's one lane for almost the entire length A few years back, it used to be Dortmund-Rotterdam, but people shifted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkenstein Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 C-D road got busy, even in the early days of TruckersMP (ETS2MP back then) because it's the most central located road of the map, connecting the mainland of Europe (SCS started Europe with just Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary and U.K) with England... Back when there were also traffic jams at Europoort (Rotterdam) because cargos to the U.K were the best paid jobs. Only veteran drivers will remember. The road got the reputation of 'death road' because of the chaos it occured (LOTS of traffic jams and trolls), and since everyone is in for a challenge (because let's face it: there's not much of a challenge around the main (base) maps of Europe, making driving a rather tedious experience for some) they would like to take on the challenge themselves. I mean, the most used road in ProMods is also a challenging road (Kirkenes mine trail). I hope that we will have some more challenging experiences in the future DLCs of SCS Software, because we're in for a challenge! I hope it'll be comparable with SCS earlier release of '18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker'.. My suggestion would be either an off-road challenge, or a tight spot challenge (such as Paris in real life)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonichell Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 It connects major cities and regions, and provides access to important facilities also the road offers scenic routes Everyone loves going to the area to socialize aswel because they know players will always be in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGF- Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 For interacting obviously, although I would like to see the playerbase spread all over the map. You barely see anyone outside of C-D sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMANISTA [ITA] Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I think it's because there are a lot of players on that road and a lot of people like traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Rossoo770s. Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 When I joined TMP in 2014 it was the same as it's now...too many reckless/stupid people overtaking,ramming you on purpose,not respecting limits,sign,speed,priority excc maybe there was less people than now yes ik..but c-d road is always populated...it's so populated also by passaparola from friends,known people excc ex. X: hello,what do you say we go on calais duisburg? Y: what would it be and where is it located? X: you follow me and find out.... by doing that then the place gets very populated and everyone goes to the same place...I don't want to say that no one told me that this road exist otherwise I would be lying even to myself xD also I got there years ago by passaparola. Calais duisburg road will be more and more populated in the next years...unless if something change like the April fools with highway...maybe someone might not like it and not go there anymore... REMEMBER that you are playing a SIMULATOR GAME and this game is NOT a RACING GAME. If you like races,maybe you're on the wrong game.

Kael_ Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Hey, The CD route has become popular because it connects several important cities on the map, mainly the port of Rotterdam where it was once a route with a huge concentration of players and now in turn Calais-Duisburg. And in my point of view, who frenquenta the route, wants to socialize, it can be boring to drive for hours in places that do not have concentration of players, but unfortunately we have players who do not respect the rules and want to run over everyone on the CD route.
