Boletins de Imprensa - The MRC Landscape
The MRC Landscape
Firstly. BlazeFP. A chap I have known for a long long time in this game and collaborated with on a few occasions, namely the founding of Windsor Alliance Racing in F1. Sad to see you go pal, but you sound like you have your reasons in check!
I've seen a few people asking the question about where MRC is or isn't going. And I don't think there is any question as to MRC faultering, in my opinion it is stronger and more popular then ever, which is great to see!! I think we all need to manage expectation, this game is independently run and privately funded for the most part, by a very small team of enthusiasts. And I think the top managers and the more regular users, myself included, run the risk of desaturating a solid game by overplaying it essentially. I was guilty of this too, a few drivers ago I was in every conceivable single race, every private race, every forum, and it did lose a lot of its allure for me. There is undeniably a balance for this game, remember, it is free, and still growing, the people behind the scenes have lives to maintain as do all of us.
That being said, there are a few minor tweaks I would like to see, as I'm sure we all would, nothing is ever perfect, and the tweaks I would make would please as many people as they angered. You will literally never please everyone...
I don't think the question of "What are we doing wrong" needs to be asked, I think it's more a question of individual managers own expectations. MRC doesn't advertise itself as something it is not, if anything it under-sells itself, as there is a lot, lot more to this game after you scratch the surface as a rookie. I am now on my 4th fully fledged driver in 6 years, after taking all of my previous three (not counting one test driver) into the World's Top 100 ranked drivers. This was a serious grind, and it was varied on all of those occasions thanks to the way the game has evolved in those years.
Farewell!
Blaze recruited me into MRC and I'm sad to see him go. He has been around for a long long time and will be missed by not just the Portuguese community but by the whole MRC Family. As I balance on a knife edge as to whether I will or won't conti...
