Can't connect as it takes about 30 sec to download the map? Its very slow - anyone else having that problem?

 

[Steeps]

had it a few times recently, although my net was a bit jumpy in that time. Connected fine earlier

... Timbo_La hasn't been on in 61 years. So, if required those two will be deleted first.....
up.

You can delete me if you want, i was hoping the speed of my internet would improve after ringing up my isp but it seems it ain't going to happen.

should have come on earlier to say, but was hoping to be able to continue.

No maglev in the game at all?

 

[Duke]

Doesn't look like it

How's the game going...not been on for a couple of days so my stuff is probably in a bad way (Chuggington Ltd) People still playing?

 

[MissChief]

I check in regularly and am currently second. I do like looking at everyone else's screw ups and seeing trains amd road vehicles all jammed up amd losing money. there are still some steam trains running around over 80 years old!

Heritage railways obvs

Really need to start playing on the server, still not been on it yet

 

[Duke]

I wasn't on for a few days but have been on yesterday/today.

 

[MissChief]

just found a train 105 years old!

 

[MissChief]

Might be an idea to plan to restart the server at some point? Some of the vehicles are becoming so out of date. There's only 2 planes available and it's 2081!

 

[Duke]

..and because its only us playing now

 

[FrenchTart]

I'd recommend dropping iviv a message to ask him to look into starting a new map for you.

 

[iviv]

Hi! Sorry, not had any time to check in on the server, final year exams happening over the next couple of weeks! If everyone wants a restart then I'll do it

 

[MissChief]

Some suggestions if I may. Not many changes, but maglev is a must, maybe monorail too. Other than that it was alright.

 

[SpaghettiOs]

You can't have maglev or monorail with that rail GRF, so I suggest using OpenGFX trains+. Also, the planes do get ridiculous by 2081, but you were only intended to play till 2050.

Can we also change the time multiplier to 3. It's still a bit ridiculously slow.

I do think a restart is necessary too.

 

[Duke]

Too slow? I thought it the speed was fine as it gives us about a week or so to play?

 

[MissChief]

Speed of the game is fine IMO and i'm happy enough with the standard trains if necessary.

 

[SpaghettiOs]

I just think that after a while, you have enough money that it doesn't really matter how fast you accumulate materials. But the slow time makes the start of the game take unnecessarily long. That's my opinion at least.
