I say Yes, and no, here's what I mean,
Anyone whos played online racing before knows that lag can ruin racing. It makes it impossible for close bumper to bumper racing, even with broadband only races.
So the solution is to charge lets say $5-15 a month and allow PD to get us top notch servers, not some cheap free gamespy BS, and 20+ cars allowed per race
BUT, for the casual gamers there should be a free version of online, but with cheap gamespy servers and lets say only a maximum of 10 cars allowed per race
So this is how it is
$5-15 a month will give you:
- High quality servers with nearly zero lag
- races with 20+ drivers at once
- access to online endurance races with driver changes
- access to online tournaments
- Online ranking system
- Ability to save and share replays
Free version will give you:
- Up to 10 drivers at once
- generic races
I'm definitly for paying money, even if its just for no lag. I had a bad experience while driving an Online Indy 500, with one lap to go we were 3 wide and I was leading http://www.nros.org/speedweeks/ (I'm the black car in the middle)
We went into the first turn I was on the outside. We were 2 feet away from eachother but taht was too close. Lag made us touch and I smashed the outside fence. I swore the car below me moved up, but after watching his replay I realized lag made us touch. I started 23rd of 28 that day, and it was very upsetting to come so close, to lead lap 199 of 200 and end up being taken out by lag. That only increased my hate for it
So what do you think is best? Any ideas as to any extras that paying may enable PD to give us ?
