Cups1237 Posted December 20, 2024 Report Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) Shut Down the ETS2 TMP Servers for a Short Period of Time to Encourage ATS TMP Servers to Be Played on Again. Suggestion Description: I know it sounds like a horrible idea, but I think it would boost the player count of the ATS TMP Servers. Just simply, for a period of time shut down all of the ETS2 TMP Servers. This shutdown could just be for one day. Say July 4th, just as an example. Seems like it'd be the most fitting day, if any. This could be a one-time thing. Any example images: None Why it should be added: The main reason I don't play ATS on TMP is because the player count is so abysmally low. I would play on it otherwise. I LOVED playing the ATS TMP Servers back in 2016/2017, when the playercount was commonly above 1k. I don't know the exact reason as to why ATS TMP is so unpopular compared to ETS2's TMP. I would assume a large part of it has to do with low player count furthering discouraging people from playing (like myself), and/or maybe just a lot of TMP's playerbase is European/not-American. I am an American Player, but really only play on the ETS2 TMP Servers because of (again) the low Playercount on the ATS TMP Servers. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REPLY: Even if you are completely against this idea (which is fine, it's just an idea). Tell me why you do not play ATS TMP. Is it low player count? Is it because you don't own ATS? Is it because you prefer ETS2 over ATS? Or is it something else. I wanna get a consensus here. Also feel free to share why you think ATS TMP is so unpopular compared to ETS2 TMP. Or on the contrary, tell me why you play the ATS TMP Servers in 2024. Other thoughts: I think shutting down the ETS2 TMP Servers for even just one day could be enough to revive the ATS Servers, unless the main issue with ATS is actually that TMP just has so many people that prefer ETS2 over ATS. Maybe the issue is simply American players don't know about TMP? To my knowledge ATS outsells ETS2 on Steam. So it doesn't really make sense why ATS wouldn't be as popular or more popular. Maybe you could argue that ATS doesn't have a Calais-Duisburg road established. I knew about TMP since NerdCubed and DaSquirrelNuts, and ever since then wanted to play it. And quite honestly IDK why TMP for ATS died and went away (basically), I know there's still around 200-300 players, but it used to be much higher, and consistently. Is Convoy what killed TMP for ATS? I've heard people say that, but it hasn't killed ETS2 (though maybe even the ETS2 servers are even less popular than they used to be). I guess with Convoy being a thing, people may no longer really search for how to play Multiplayer, potentially (therefore never finding out about TMP). Forgot to mention, ETS2 has been around longer, so that can be a factor. Edited December 20, 2024 by Cups1237 Added details
Community Manager mth. Posted December 21, 2024 Community Manager Report Posted December 21, 2024 Hello @Cups1237, I too wish that more people would play on the ATS servers, as this is my favourite game! However, we'd rather work on ways to promote the ATS servers positively, for instance by hosting special events there, and not by restricting players in their options and annoying them. For this reason, we will decline your idea. Thanks for your understanding! 1 1 1
