Anyone Play Online

Post by JackRussell » Sun Jun 03, 2007 6:44 am

Hey Hey

Just bought game - going home to install - can hardly wait

Are there any other desperadoes that play game online?

I check online occasionally but lately haven't had much time to play SMR :(

If you see an Atani online it is likely me.

most players I've seen online around mid-day on the weekends PST.
I'm about -7 GMT.

I'm on fairly often, and there are usually other players on. If not, wait a few minutes and one will show up. The online playing community is really good, I've found. A few jerks, like anywhere, but overall fair and friendly.

I finally attempted to play online last weekend. I seem to recall The N00b was on the game i was playing.

I am left with a bad taste after playing one game, and not due to TheN00b, but the frenetic playstyle of online play.

From the get-go it was fast and furious, from laying track to setting routes, to managing stock, it just was too fast. And the constant New Train splash screens lagged on my screen for a minute sometimes. That is death if you were working on something. So, i don't think i'll be venturing online again any time soon, i enjoy the planning and calculated routes of the game as opposed to the FPS version that seems to be online play.

If you are having problems with the new train screen just turn it off in options.

yeah for some reason that perticular game did have a lot of new trains at the beginning. there was like 8 new trains in the first 3 minutes. first game i saw that ever did that. but you are correct about multiplayer, it is very fast paced but the more you play it multiplayer the better it is to get used to it's unforgivable play style.
online play has greatly improved my skills for this game. (and i am still a n00b to it.) so i would encourage you to hop on and play some more online. while people are still playing online. (have noticed that most "tycoon" games don't last very long in the online world.)
