Maniaplanet Forum

Yeah I was wondering about the issue of servers for people who don't buy all environments as well. Not an issue for me, since I plan to buy all the TM and SM environments (maybe not QM, I've never been an RPG fan, but we'll see. After seeing how well Storm turned out, I'll give it a chance). But still... well, it's Nadeo's job to decide how to handle it. The best scenario I can think of is being able to join a server playing titles you don't have as long as it's not playing them as you join it. Then, once it reaches, say, a stadium track, the people who don't own stadium are "kicked" off the server, but the game gives them some notification once the server they were on has reached another map they can play.

But, Nadeo are the professionals, and at the end of the day it's their job to figure out how that will work. Knowing... corporate culture in general, the game is probably at least going to ask you whether you want to go buy the title you don't have, as it "kicks" you off the server.

a kick would be too hard. Perhaps a pause screen with options:
Leave the server | Purchase the missing title | Just wait

And a spectate option (by streaming, as you don't have the title) would be nice

If spectate it would mean you will need to install every single title of Maniaplanet in order to play in cross enviro servers.
And so "FreeZone" servers would come back..

Team exD has seemingly pulled off the impossible.

That's right. It's coming!!!

First, this Manialink: tm2united



And now, this video:
Trackmania² United

I don't know how they did it. But are you ready for it?

Aw man, for a second there I tought it was a pack with recreation of TMUF tracks on it, or even tracks ported as objects on the title

I'm somewhat ready for it, if this really is true
I just have no idea how they should've realized this, as in the core all games are separated entirely.
However:
VROOOOM

The question is :

how Nadeo/or someone else can merge all environnments in one server, if some other players haven't bought all environnments ?

If ExD really managed that, cool, I sure am ready and would love to see it!
Then it as well could be a push for multiple environment titles being natively supported by Maniaplanet afterwards

well, this would be the trick to force them to purchase them all...
Or players with less titles will have to wait... or spectate a stream rendered by a special server.
