Mania Planet-Battlenet basically a mixture of Facebook, Youtube and Blzzards. We can chat, visit websites, watch videos, download and above all cars, tracks and mods of the community and install without having to adopt the game have.

Almost sounds like Nadeo and Ubisoft are killing off the community there. The only place to share cars, mods and tracks? We have TM carpark (and future carpark) for that, we have TMX (and MX) for that, and of course we had TM Mod.

You seem pessimistic for no reason. I don't see the word 'only' in that sentence, and as maniaplanet is designed to add more capabilities to the existing manialink, manialive, maniahome, and new instruments to the mix, I don't see how or why all the above mentionned website would suffer from maniaplanet. On the contrary we appreciate external websites and hope they will thrive around maniaplanet.

Gamestar says the game will come in autumn

beta is coming in mid-june as hylis said

can you say us something about release date?

I see some confirmation here. But my initial thoughts date back to when Mania Planet was announced, there was a lot of news/rumours going around that Mania Planet was being designed as 'the only' or 'a single' place, rendering all external community websites useless.

But I'm sure this is now an absolute load off everyone's mind!

1. The "community" websites will be less necessary if Nadeo's online system can provide a similar service (in quality such as in quantity). Less necessary because an alternative system run by Nadeo itself will be ready in case of failure.

2. Nadeo's system will have a better visibility/exposition, because everybody can see it ingame and DO NOT have to check one's borwser, especially newcomers who don't know all the community from their first TM day. These one may go to Nadeo's service instead of the older one, which may experience difficulties to renovel its attendance.

3. The online database will be financially food by Nadeo, contrary to the "community" websites who have to gather money from all those who want to donate. It seems that the first business model offers more security in the long run.

You can't say that those 3 things couldn't make the oldest sites vanish. I would be afraid to lose them if Nadeo's system is not better. Thus... Do it if you want, but do it VERY fine!

I simply see it as a possibility to get more and of course new (in this case "non" TMO/S/F) players involved into the community. Sure there will be the normal sites, but causual gamers won't know/use them to a full extend as if they would use ingame stuff. So i don't see it as such a bad thing, it's just another way to do it (depends on how good it is).

Ingame is manialinks, so players and not Nadeo system. No ?

As far as i understand it, there will be a maniaplanet system which provides the possibilities to share tracks, videos and and. And than there will also be such stuff like manialinks, which are user derived.
