You shouldnt play for rank, its meanless.

Try to look for a round server, more fun ! :D

We got some really populare servers in Norway: trackmania.no#1 and DataGuard OWN.


The OWN server is a round server. Try it :)

According to Trackmania.com, my current rank is 986447 :lol:
Thats fine, considering I've never played an online game before. (Slow Computer and all).

However, I will try downloading the game again :D . I still have some faith in my computer.

Edit: No, No... Still slow :lol:

What's your nick there? Maybe I've seen you. :)

Rounds definitely is better than time attack, even if you play to get points. After I first tried a rounds server, I've never gone back to time attack... :shock:

I'm only on Dataguard OWNs these days... Haven't played the last week tho, been focusing on Football Manager lately. That will change again soon tho :)

I tried to look for R34GTR and SliM_880 on the servers they mentioned for about a week, but I never saw them... :?

I've managed to reduce the loading times for my game, so I am now capable of playing online :D . Had my first match yesterday (Time attack), and it was just awesome. Unfortunately there is always a great deal of lag on the opening lap, so I waste about 1 minute in order to make the following laps smoother.

But generally, it's all fine. If needed, my username is... wait for it... jacoja06 :twisted:
See you on the track!

Edit: Here is my current custom-made car. It seems to have a 'discrete' Aussie feel about it :P

Nah, but I'll check it out. I'm hoping it's a UK server, so I won't have to browse thru 1000s of servers to find it... :P

What hours are you usually on btw?

I'm starting to get into the game once again, only this time it runs smoothly with the computer I am using (So I'm usually online from about 8:00pm (GMT +9) until I get tired and fall asleep on the keyboard). ;)

Here is the custom car I use online, even though the paint-job is not visible to 99% of other players (You need an older version of trackmania to unlock that feature :x ).

See you on the track :P

Been playing this over the last week.

Had never heard of it before this. I always play the minitrax 247 on the GBR server.

Love that game. :D

Yay, computer upgraded!! :D

Used to run at 800x600, with pretty low settings... Tried yesterday, with 1600x1200, and pretty high settings (I think), and it was smoother than before... I'm gonna love this :D
