mtimmins92 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 so just seeing that the kirkenes quarry has hit over 200 people, is there any particular reason for it's popularity ?, I know it is like the unpaved road near bellingham in ats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Good question! I believe people only attend areas like this for the "lols" and the challenge; ETS2 Youtubers are known to push this idea onto their viewers to further congest the area with traffic, creating an even larger chaotic scene. Stay safe if you do look to visit this area, I'd imagine it's very easy to obtain bans from very common and unfortunate mistakes considering how tight the roads are.

Space Night Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 @Bout ye but I don't see why people try to take a double or a HCT down there knowing that the road is so tight. Going down there to pick a load is fine Going from there empty after dropping a load is fine Transiting too and from with a load that is destined or originating there is fine, Taking a trailer there to simply sight seeing is useless traffic and will snarl it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it beyond them if creating more traffic is exactly what they aim for to get a kick out of trying to find funny moments. The main thing is we're smarter than that!

Callum. Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Its a small and tight road which makes people want to take the challenge, then it gets busier which has now just made it the ProMods version of C-D I have driven it a couple of times when there has been 200+ people, its fun but chaotic, certainly not somewhere I will be going often.

dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It's a fun road to drive on with other players and it's an experience that we don't get in vanilla ETS2. It's the same reason lots of people drive in the middle of iceland with the 1 way snowy roads. Although I went to the quarry when promods was only out for 1-2 days and there wasn't many people even with 2-3k people on but now I can see tons of people are going there just by looking at ets2map and right now there's only 1k players on and there's traffic backed up.

ATEKGaming Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I haven't really gone towards it but more past the area but I've not personally gone down the road YET. I'll probably go towards it later today to find out what it's all about. :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Suter Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Kirkenes right now with only 1000 people online. Ive been watching it for a while. Some people have been stationary for over 30 minutes. Wheres the fun in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Purrie Posted October 25, 2019 Community Manager Share Posted October 25, 2019 It's a challenging road that's for sure. I am not sure why one would use a double or HCT to drive that road but everyone their choice. I drove on the road twice, first time there was a heavy traffic jam and I wouldn't move for a couple of minutes so I just pressed F7. Second time it was early in the morning and there were not that many players on the road and even then I would have to wait a couple of minutes at some points to wait for other trucks to pass or make a turn.

Dunkstormen Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I believe such roads gets so popular due to content creators promoting them. Like the slim dirt road in the northern part of Finland. Then there is always those people who seek the congested areas and simply makes them more congested, and combining that with disrespectfull drivers is a dangerous cocktail.

Ptterz Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Although Kirkenes quarry road is fun to drive, guys, try the Kirkenes-Murmansk road! That should be fun to see full of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezz Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 TThe road is enjoyable provided that people give way where appropraite, this road isn't fun if people can't delicate and work things out with other truckers on the road. A system of let a few trucks go, or one truck each side goes, would work. If people continued this, it would become so much more free flowing.
