Is the one gift per ps3 restriction still in place? Or has that restriction been temporarily lifted too?
 
Forgot to ask, can you gift within the same ps3 still between different accounts? I can't try out myself right now that's why I'm asking these questions here.
 
No, if you have 10 accounts on 1 ps3 and you trade a car on user account 1, you can't trade any more cars on that ps3 till reset. Sucks IMO.
 
agreed its horrible. my old drifting account has cars on it still :(

So get them back! You've got until March 3 to get your high-dollar cars back to your main account. I've loaned out quite a few, but I'm getting back as many as I can, starting with the most expensive/rarest ones first. I'd suggest everyone else who's got cars loaned out do the same.

Are you referring to cars that you've loaned via gifting? I ask because I have 6 expensive cars that have selected the "share with friends" option. Those are safe, correct?

you do understand that to "get them back" as you say might take a LOT longer than the 5 days that we have until the NO MORE TRADES goes back into effect right?

Yes, the shared vehicles are fine. If the ones you actually sent to someone that could be "lost".

Shared vehicles however do reset as I've found out. Either after 24 or 48 hours of being shared, they are taken offline by the server.

1) I understand that some people may have more than 5 cars "loaned" out (not "shared" online, but actually sent to others). I get that. I have more than 5 cars out right now. What I also understand is a little concept called "prioritizing"; if you couldn't get all of them back, which ones are most irreplaceable to you?

2) There is no "NO MORE TRADES" going into effect. Again, prioritize. Cars that are worth well under a million credits? Don't worry about those. Concentrate on the really hard to find stuff, the rare LMP cars, the Group C cars, etc.


Point being, don't just give up. If you can't save everything, don't panic, or you'll end up not saving anything.

At present, it looks like I'm going to "lose" three X2010s (I sent one to each of three other accounts my family has on our PS3), a Courage-Judd GV5 '04, and XJR9 LM, a Toyota GT-ONE, and a Formula GT. I've got time to get five of them back, though. The X2010s cost more, but I can replace those at the dealership. The FGT I can usually pick up in the OCD. So I'm concentrating on the Courage, the XJR, and the GT-ONE, because I don't find any of those very often.

You have to decide for yourself which cars are most important to you, and be willing to write off the rest. Maybe PD will relent, but don't bank on it. They don't often do the logical thing, do they?

Yes, those are safe as houses, until the next time PD is feeling capricious and spiteful. :)

I've had a friends F2010 for the last few days and it's never left. If anything, I'd guess your friend removed it from being shared, used it and re-shared it, thus kicking you out of it.

Meh, it was my own account sharing to another account. I guess someone either tried borrowing it or another one of my accounts tried to do so and it got flustered so it took everything offline.
