McLaren2555 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 im really wondering why the hell players are not joining sim 2 even though tmp has approved our wish for comeback of EU 2 server.The community used to bark like dogs to introduce no speed limit or to bring back Eu 2 ever since road to simulation was introduced like for around more than 3 years.Now that the players have got their wish why dont they just make it like EU 2 of pre 2019.Its really strange that maximum players voted for no speed limit or EU 2 server in the surveys.BUT now its the complete opposite. Many players i talked to in sim 1 and everysingle of them said sim 2 is empty and when it gets populated they will join happily.Really love to know your opinions on this.EU 2 server is what made tmp it is now,it gave tmp recognition of a fun to play game,back then due to EU 2 the craze was creazy and it was also seen in youtube @Foobrother @Random_Truck_Driver @Jeronimο 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twix bar Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I don't know. People probably don't bother joining smaller servers and automatically join the biggest one because nobody wants to play on a deserted server. NGL I was hoping people would go in sim 2 as well but that never happened. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It happened the same when EU#2 was opened. Probably that majority of players who voted for "Simulation 2" don't use it because they see the name and think that it's the same as Simulation 1, only with less people? We all know that reading is not the strongest feature in most TruckersMP players... Maybe it should have been called "EU#2" (which is what the server is, at the end of the day) and more people would have switched? But like you mentioned in another topic, the moment Sim1 goes down for a while for whatever reasons, all of its players will have no other choice than to use Sim2 and from that moment on, it will most likely be like 2019's EU#1 and EU#2, back to basics for real. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming. Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 My guess is the majority of players don't look at our website/forums so they didn't even notice the change. That's perfectly fine by me though, it cuts down on the chaos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite [SVK] Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Most likely what @FernandoCR [ESP] said, people just can't read anymore. You have to throw it in their face and smear it all over for them to notice anything. You've been the most vocal group, claiming to be very numerous community. First, wait until Promods is back, so the numbers are more even, then go on camaigning even harder than before, make it popular. Give it a couple more months, and you'll see. If you are going to wait for people that say the server is empty, nothing is going to change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donii. Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 The main purpose of people wanting to play TMP is for driving with other people, or seeing other people around the map. Unfortunately, people haven’t yet drifted out of Simulation 1, which makes server the most populated resulting in everyone wanting to be on that one. I tend to find VTC’s are a major focus too, not everyone is interested in speed these days and realism is key. 1 | | Player Reporting | Ban Appeals | Support System | Feedback System | TMP Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If was TMP I would just switch the server settings between Sim1 and Sim2 (and at the same time reduce the speed limit to 90km/h for the new sim2 ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I know... That's the funny thing about the "report ratios", they shouldn't change no matter the "policy" but then reality tells differently... And if people do switch massively to the 150 Km/h server, the current situation will be seen later as "Paradise lost", I'd guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TurboStar- Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 maybe because most people are used to connect right away to Sim 1 server and dont like or is interested in joining Sim 2 server, since there you can drive 150 maybe they think that with the higher speed the chances of crashing its a lot higher, or simply they stay on Sim 1 server because its a lot more popular than Sim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"RICKY" Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hello truckers. Ready to hear the truth!!! So a poll was done some time ago not so much asking what players would like to see in TMP. Through this survey many players wanted back the speed limit of 150km and TMP opened server 2 . Server 2 has been open for 3-4 weeks now and hasn't seen many players in the 800-1000 range. Meanwhile, server 1 is always full and the team has already had to add more slots. Conclusion. I think all those players who want the speed limit of 150 after all prefer to play on servers with more players. But as TMP has a large number of players and everyone likes to play in their own way, we should continue with server 2. But as everyone knows, servers are paid and one more server is an expense, but I'll leave that to the team to analyze. Happy miles to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I've supported the idea (but with different suggestion regarding simulation part), that's all you will get from me. It's not my fight, TMP is not even my battlefield anymore, heck, I can't imagine myself downloading TMP client again for the purpose of persuading people to switch over servers.

Interstate Nomad Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Players attract other players, even more than a raised speed limit. I guess that's what multiplayer is about in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[MCG] Masunio Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Users often don't use websites or forums to see what has changed. Plus, they may not notice and they just see that Sim 1 always has more players and they choose Sim 1 to play because they simply don't want them to drive alone on the road. Besides, some people prefer the nature of simulation rather than driving at 150 km/h on CD road or other roads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
