i would like to have it on the same way like tmn eswc + ingame adds like this


that system will secure that you get money so long the player is playing the game, so if he plays 7 years long tm2s you will get more money with this system than, if the player pays only ones.
So make it please free2play and not pay2win or freezone shit.
The game life from the community and the community is getting smaller and smaller if you fuck them.

@ The Big G: Go write/code a game like trackmania and give it away for free yourself. See how long it takes before you're poor and can't pay out your crew anymore.

Nadeo must make money as they are a business and will not be able to pay their workers without it. A free envi on TM2 similar to TMNF would only create the same problem as it did on TM1 (a Freezone). If it were to be free then it should only be for the people who support Nadeo by buying, for 20 euro, at least 1 or 2 of the other envis such as Canyon, Valley, whatever ( Excluding SM & QM as they're a different genre).
@ Zarez ... Agreed

TMN (ESWC) was paid by NVIDIA Corp. as advertising game and Nations Forever was a mistake...

LOL! There you have it. I think a lot of people are a little spoiled with such a complete free game like tmn.
They all think it's so easy to make a good game and give it away for free.
In the end you can earn money with a game in many different ways but it has to be developed first. That needs to be paid for too.

I think the same that better be all enviros paid than only stadium F2P. Of course this is my personal preference because I love canyon so much and only canyon F2P would be heaven

Not that I did'nt like stadium and I really miss the old TMN
People say that nadeo needs to make money - it is absolutely true but can't it be achieved just by limiting F2P players (like I described in my first post of this thread) so that they will buy the game if they really are into TM2, elseway they are not going to buy the game anyway and we just have less players/servers.
Could it be at least that people who bought the game can setup a local lan game with their friends and get some good enjoinment out of it (by that I mostly mean being able to create more local profiles what I believe is requested by a lot of people allready and ofcourse the lan mode available again

).

I'm sure Nadeo already have plans and ideas for F2P. Remember Nadeo does have to earn money, but also Hylis is a supporter of esport and knows there are benefits if something is F2P. Already we know Shootmania costs money, but there will be 2 x Title (Joust & Elite) packs which will be F2P. In my mind this is ideal, free and functional part game perfect for esport, will have servers hopefully with many players. An SM owner gets the benefits off all game modes etc and benefits from increases players to play with in certain modes.
Whats to say they will not do a similar thing for Valley or a future TM2 enviro ? Have a Title F2P but not the whole enviro. Even for stadium they could do this if it was not completely free. For stadium another possibility is to make it a free bonus to anyone who purchases any other enviro (Canyon,Storm,Valley etc) or make it free but costs planets so in affect you need to buy another enviro to earn planets.

What would you think of the idea:
All the people who played the free stadium only for so long, know exactly what the game is about so finaly it's time to start supporting Nadeo and pay the tiny amount of only €20,-?
