Ripper's Majic Bus

I have watched, mostly from the sidelines, and have seen everything from creating a separate game to trying to buy the game code, or servers from EA. Has anyone thought about trying to get EA to lease out their servers? The game would obviously need some revisions and updating to bring it up to speed, but trying to get EA to lease the servers probably has a greater possibility than buying their game code or buying the rights to the game outright. Just a thought.

Unfortunately, the physical servers used by EA have been moved around and used for other applications. "leasing" the servers from them would require taking them away from other games, are simply buying new ones. Might as well pony up the several hundred thousand for your own servers and start working on writing a new game.

I vote for the new game. A design document is currently in the works. More news in a bit

No fair teasing

Isn't that what the Route 66 group said? :!: :mrgreen:

Rt 66 is most likely dead due to lack of money and infighting between designers

I never even reserved a username

to there credit they did have an idea on paper but making a game is a lot harder and most of the people with the ideas were basically thinking they could do nothing and get credit. Once Merlin left it was toast to say the least and making a board game doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Sorry to be a realest but RT 66 was a pipe dream, which by the way I hope is not true

Yeah Route 66 online was nothing, it was a major pipe dream and your right, after merlin left it was done for. the only one with any amount of ambition was an OTR driver for god sakes. Half the mod team didnt post, the dev crew was never around, and there was always a fight between one or two of the members.

now rt 66 online is being made into a gat derned RPG...wtf, an RPG.....i say burn em to the ground. They are done for, and the only reason to stay around there is to bs and hope the mod team gets enought testicular fortitude to actually do something to the trouble makers.

Like, say...

get a well thought out and polished design document together and approach someone like Codemasters with the idea?

Maybe?

yea after merlin left everything was over



since he has left me and him have been working on a game and are so fare along anyone want to hit this



merlin was talking to me a wile ago about starting something up but havnt heard anything for a wile his forum is still open for bs'ing


havnt talked to most of yall for a wile

Hey to all of the Route66 Followers credit, We were trying to do SOMETHING.. even if it was just a pipe dream.. We were gathering Ideas.. thinking of ways we could atleast Taste a little bit of that sweet addiction alot of us took for granted. The only other racing game thats ebbed the hunger was GT4.. and mostly because of the WIDE selection of cars in the game.. othe than that I still vividly remember blasting down skoggits straight with my chargers Naturaly aspirated 440 Wide open singing all the high notes of its 550hp tune... I remember power sliding my firebird around the wide bank at belair. I remember the quick snap turn around in my boss 302 powered stang on the seedy streets of the redlight district.. I remember it all and I miss every heart pounding gear grinding second of it. There was passion in that game and in everyone who played it... God why did they rip it from us.. I would pay 20 bucks a month for that game again. IF only....

I miss my 9 second 64 Galaxie.. Casandra.

a toast to MCO may she live on forever :mrgreen:

For all you guys that are just posting in these "revive MCO" folders, please feel free to join us in the general discussions. Most of he rest of us have realized that what made the game great was the people, not the game itself. I'm not saying you're wasting your time here, but we're here to hang out, not to complain about the past. And yes, you can still tell everyone to STFU :-P

Hmmmm. Mod team needs testicular fortitude? I do believe all the trouble makers have been taken care of properly. Now as far as the game itself, hey at least an effort was, and is being made. One thing that some people fail to understand is we are all out for one thing. To race again. So quit degrading people and do something.
