TrackMania - Nations (A free multiplayer game)

Hi all

Wondering if any of you are into the fun and massively addictive game by Nadeo, Track Mania nations..Its a kind of stunt like racer game, that is massively multiplayer, easy to use, and best of all its TOTALLY FREE!

You compete for a nation and you go head to head in races online.. Think the Frogs are in the lead at the moment.. I (Langeveldt are ranked about 50,000th out of 400,000), its huge! Australia are about 20th, GB are about 15th and SA are 46th. There are 68 nations to represent in total, each with their own cars

The game comes with a track editor as well (most of the online competitions are on tracks people have made). If you have the original version of TrackMania, you can also make and share cars..

You don't need a hugely good computer to run it, just ADSL, the file for download is 200 megs, that puts you through to a simple installer, and thats it, you are in

http://www.trackmanianations.com/indexUk.php

You can download the full version at the link above, let me know if you come on!

Looks good, I'm downloading it.
Expect to be rubbish though.

Got into it at work - we try to play over the network at lunchtimes.

Also play at home - does anyone have a server game set up?

Downloaded it and had a bit of a look. It's pretty good fun indeed, certainly worth the download time for a free game.

Downloading it, the file size is big enough to give me a positive approach..

Shall I set up a server for Cricketweb? Would be nice if we can get a few people racing (if there is sufficient demand)

Rich, I've tried downloading him three times, but it keeps messing up for some reason? Downloads quite slowly aswell.

Need more detail, does the download stop halfway through?

If it does its probably an issue with their servers

Right my msn is rhingston at hotmail dot com, if anyones on line with TM nations running, just MSN me and we'll get a server going..

I think you go to "Internet" and then click on RSA which should be on the second page of nations, and the server will be called www.cricketweb.net.. Failing that try looking at the GBR servers.. It won't be a dedicated server so you have to tell me when you want me to run it

The password is: Igor (if you are asked for one)

Oh, and a random question to you all..

Shall I make the server private (only cricketweb), or public? (anyone can play)

Obviously private will be a bit more exclusive, just for us, but you will have more people racing on the public server
