Don't get me wrong, I love nadeo games, but with the marketing plan they are using with the MP Games and the lack of players makes me worried about the company future.

To be honest I still don't think selling each environment separately at the same price is a good idea since they all work the same and have similar functions (I also think this limits a lot of possibilites that we could archieve in TMUF, like the Multi-envi servers) and also the lack of advertising, free copies for famous reviewers and let's players (trust me, that does help any game to be more recognized) Among other important things, like a free version of TM2 Stadium to make the TMNF Players to get in Maniaplanet, come on you guys have Ubisoft helping out, I'm really sure they can help with all of this, and in my opinion if the same direction still goes, I think ubisoft might abandon nadeo by it's lack of proffit.

And also, before any developer comes in and do an unrelated comment, you really should listen more your community ideas to make your games more famous instead of obviously keeping a small community on purpose, when I go on multiplayer on any TM2 game, the servers are almost empty, and that is a really bad sign.

Though I'm with you on the marketing part, I'm not sure that

is true, as it's difficult to see what the profit is that they are making...

Only in case you didn't notice it, Filipe, there is a nice message from Hylis a few months ago: http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21538

If they can afford to let the people play TrackMania for free (start will be soon, and this until Dec. 14th),
I don't think their situation is that bad

To bouncing back on TMarc words, I quote what Hylis said and I hope that you will be less worried

Then, we should be able to make a demo solos, which are really efficient to bring more people, since it could be less intimidating for many.

Then, the free access for custom titles should be for Maniaplanet 3, later, alongside the mixmaping, the top titles, the generalized quick overlay (see Elite) and other things that are part of the system.

So, there are already three steps ahead to welcome more players. And we have others afters.

By the way, among good additions for TM, there should be evolutions on the scripts capacities for modes, update of the modes for using them and items with start/cp/finish/static lights. These ones should re-inforce the interest of title packs.

Well that's some good news, don't get me wrong but I just want nadeo to be successful and have a good ammount of players

Well, it would all be really cool if there wouldn't be any titlepacks in the end.

I'm really sorry Nadeo , but I'm afraid this update will be too little too late (time will tell ofc)
I REALLY hope you guys can pull it off once again , I applaud the effort , but I still feel you have done far too little for the game(s) and you should have listened more to the community

Agree.
