I share your frustrations but then again whether the speed limit is 110km/h or 150km/h, you will still get reckless drivers. Even if the speed limit is reduced to 90km/h, you would still get reckless drivers because we live in a world where people behave differently therefore it is important to understand this and it would help you feel less sad about the update. This is why there are rules in place to punish those who disobey them. Yes the introduction of a server with faster speeds will increase the reports and I believe TruckersMP management would respond to this and recruit more GMs. I am not ignoring the fact people drive recklessly rather I choose to be realistic and understand that even if TruckersMP set all server speed limits to 90km/h we will still have reckless drivers and they would be punished if reported or caught ingame by a GM breaking the rule. Unfortunately, it is the way the world works, therefore, servers with higher speeds is not the actual problem but people who will always choose to break rules regardless of what speed limit is in place. And like you rightly said, "they naturally regroup where there is the most activity/players (that's probably the main reason why EU2 has been discontinued in the past)" this is why speed limit is not the actual problem but a server with higher activity so regardless of the speed, trolls will gather there and drive recklessly.

It has been interesting reading different opinions of the new direction TruckersMP has taken. As many have pointed, it is clear many did not take part in the survey however, based on the responses received, the management of TruckersMP have made the decision to implement the result of the survey. It is sad to see people making statements like "it is a shame TruckersMP has made these changes". I would like to remind you that this survey was created, compiled, reviewed and results agreed on by a team of people who are not paid to do this job. From their real life spare time, they have spent hours to listen to the community and effect the changes as received from the survey. You are entitled to your opinions but whilst giving your opinion at least show some respect to these amazing gentlemen and women who put in their time and effort to produce such a detailed report. Most of them don't have the luxury of spare time to play games like you do because they are dedicated to create a platform that meets the needs of different people. Please note that although this is a simulation game which is expected to be played as one, SCS the makers did not limit the speed of trucks to 90km/h (which is speed of trucks across many European nations even though there may be slight differences depending on the country). They gave players the option to play with a speed limiter or play without it. Does this means SCS is anti-simulation? and should we say the Game should be Euro Truck only instead of Euro Truck Simulation? The answer is no because SCS understands that though this is a simulation game some people may prefer the arcade side of things whilst still being able to drive a truck. This is the same as TruckersMP. Road to Simulation was intended to encourage a stricter enforcement of rules and a drive towards simulation. This took away the option for people who want to experience a multiplayer environment in an arcade style with the same settings on the simulation server. It has been a huge success but as life is dynamic, change is inevitable and we live in a real world where people have a freedom to choose what they want to experience and not be forced to behave like others expect. This is the reason behind the "Back to Basis project". It is an opportunity for people to choose what best suits them. So if you like Simulation with speed limit then EU 1 is for you, if you like simulation without speed limits head to EU 2. Please because you love to play on EU 1 does not make you a better person than someone who loves to play on EU 2. So those who love to play on EU 1 kindly stop making derogatory remarks against the project and towards those who love to play on EU2. After all, if we are to look at it from a truly strict simulation point of view 110km/h is not simulation because it is still faster than 90km/h which is the most common speed limit for trucks across Europe. To Summarize, please respect people's choices and do not force your opinions on others. Calling people names because they love speed or choose to play on EU 2 is bullying and disrespectful because your decision to play on EU 1 does not make you a better person so stop the hypocrisy, enjoy the server you choose and let others have their peace. Finally show more respect to the people behind the scenes making sure everyone is happy and gets what they want and stop the doom speech. Thank you for reading..............................
