If my cd is registered with Sierra for online play and I sell it, can the
new owner register and play online??

I don't know about registering and all but online shouldn't be a problem.
There are no more Sierra servers or anything of the sort, I don't believe.

There sure are Sierra servers. I'm logged onto them now while I am
typing this. Race starts soon!

I don't think the registration will be a problem.

As long as the CD-key isn't banned, no problem at all.

Yeah, I would be a bit afraid of some of these deals, only because I know
1st hand about having installed 2 PC's with the same CD key (by mistake as I
have 3 keys legitimately)  If the person decided to burn the CD then sell,
there is all likely hood they will get online with your key, maybe not
today, but you never know...   and whomever gets online 1st with a
particular key, gets on, the other cant (per attempt)

secondly at the onset there was about 4 people I recall reading the Sierra
forums, that got themselves CD key banned for flaming the wrong guy,
cusswords all the time, and or hacking while online...  I'd hate to spend
um, what is ebay fetching now, 100 bucks?  to end up with on of those cd
keys.  and what would you do?

Online where, if there are no more seira.com   ?    Ordinary
multiplayer code (private leagues, etc) doesn't check keys does it?

Who said Sierra's servers were gone?  Where's your source for that info?

Alan Bernardo 5 posts up ;)

I read it several times prior to that but to be honest it's been months
since I felt like joining an open oval only have every decent start
ruined but 12-year olds asking for a do-over so I'm taking this info at
face value.

If you mean servers listed as "Papy Open 12" or "Papy Open SS", then
perhaps you are correct. But there are dozens of servers showing on any
night of the week and many of those are "open". Simply running NR2003
and connecting via Sierra will confirm this.

You are correct in that "open" servers are wreckfests which is what led
to me joining a league. Like minded persons who want to have a great
time, take it seriously (but not life & death serious) and compete in a
season long battle. Check ours out at www.cfrlracing.com. We have
leagues that run several nights a week plus Sunday AM.

I spent 6 hours on OpenSpeedway last weekend.  They are definitely still
there.

The OpenSpeedway servers aren't bad.  They are monitored and they actually
throw people out :)

So the seirra rating system is still maintained?

Sure is. In fact, I was off for over 6 months and as a result, they
cleared all my stats. When I joined my league last year, I had zero's
across the board and had to run a pick up race before I could get into
the league server.
