Maniaplanet Forum

I like how tcq's point was completely missed and everyone went off on Microsoft.

tcq's point was that there are some things that are not our business. How much a company plans to sell and how much they actually sell is their own business and is an internal matter within the company.

We're of course curious as players because we invest time and effort into the game and we hope for it to succeed. But we also don't know a lot of other details about the company or how things work. It'd be a singular piece of a much larger puzzle.

We don't know how much marketing Ubisoft is planning to do in the future, or how big ManiaPlanet will eventually get, both in terms of content and players.

Really, if we hold up our end of the deal... staying active and having fun creating cars, skins, tracks, server mods, plugins, maniascripts, websites, videos, etc... then we can let Nadeo continue to build the tools that empower us, and Ubisoft to distribute and market those tools.

We really have very little idea what the future holds for this game. We only know that a lot is planned, and Nadeo has invited us to come along for this adventure with them. Let's enjoy it!

Well said

So why doesn't Hylis just say 'We won't answer these things' ? Very straight, simple and short? There is no point repeating the same old thing again and again...

marketing.

Because then people will moan about them saying they will not answer them.

Well, i guess everyone is neieve then...

Dunno...
my support was buying 2 copies of canyon, for myself and my cousin, and im still looking for the right person to give the 3 day marketing key, because I want to give it to someone who will then buy the game.
also, I personally installed nations on like 15 comps of 15 different people.
Here in israel, nobody knows about trackmania so im doing my best to get the word out.

Thing is, I keep telling all these people that great things are going to happen with this game, and soon,
but as the months go by, and nothing happens, and I cant even tell my friends WHEN something WILL happen,
I find it harder and harder to keep them interested... is all im saying.

That's exactly what i ment with my warning. I'm affraid i get tired of waiting untill "it all" happens and leave it all together.

i did leave after my last rant about the lack of communication in english as the main language in reviews/previews/press releases vs worldwide advertisement. Just got on to check if there was any news...
There wasn't.

Reason why french is a world language partly is due to african countries speaking french (apart from some parts of belgium/canada/luxembourg)
And although a lot of people live in africa, i don't think there's a good marketvalue there..

Anyways, guess i am going to update the game, notice nothing's changed except more useless maniaplanet 2.0 facebook wanabee content with 20 maniapages and 400 mania lotto gamblers, curse about mediatracker 2d triangles bug still not fixed and wait another few months to get the same result.

blin out

They would argue its all going to help the MP commnity grow... I think some of the ideas they have (that you have listed) are good, but most of them are executed badly. Still, the point remains about bugs, people interested and the general feel that the community has about how things are going. I guess we will all known over the next 3 - 6 months.
