Free OLR Trial & Trucks and GN Mods on OLR

by Joe Lom » Wed, 12 Nov 2003 07:20:08

I first want to announce that OLR is opening its doors to all FREE
members.  These members will be treated as having basic memberships,
granting them access to unlimited racing on Onlineracin.com servers
between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm eastern, Monday through Friday.
 This will give people a chance to try out OLR during non-peak hours.
All you need to do is sign up for a free account and log on and race
during the above hours.

Onlineracin.com is also proud to announce that the Grand National
Series and Truck Series mods from Project Wildfire are now available!
Sign on anytime to OLR and start up a race at your favorite track to
beat and bang fenders in your truck or gns machine! The OLR Showroom
and the Crew Chief have been enhanced to support the new mods, and in
the coming days the rankings will support these additions as well. For
now, only races run as "CUP" will be scored. Also, Cup, GN, and CTS
races do count toward your Thunder Run points.  Stay tuned for more
details on these and more projects from Project Wildfire and
Onlineracin.com...

Free OLR Trial & Trucks and GN Mods on OLR

Big deal.  Change N3 from Premium back to FREE and I might consider it Joe.

WHY is N3 still a "premium" anyway??  It's horribly outdated and cannot
possibly have but 100 people left on it...

It may not be a big deal to some people, but this is something I've
always wanted to do.  Either people hate it or like it, I wanted to
have something during the non-peak hours for people to give it a try.
If they have some constructive criticism to give me, I would greatly
appreciate it, so I can do everything possible to provide the best
service.

In the last 3 weeks we have doubled the amount of servers on OLR and
I'm now using Texas servers for Flashpoint, League Only, and Special
events.  I have received great feedback on the quality of the
connections.  We have also reformatted on servers in North Carolina
with Windows 2003 server and cleaned them up.  In the next week I plan
to get with our customers and see if they want me to move all of the
servers from Springboard to Texas, or keep in both locations.  I'm
also considering more servers in California for the West Coast
drivers.

As for NASCAR3, we only have them up for our current customers that
run NR2003 and still running N3 leagues.  Same goes for GPL.  Once we
get the mods running smooth and have servers running to my
expectations, I plan to add GPL for our current customers.  I would
also like to get some FPS games like UT2004, MOH, and other games.  I
figured after they get all fired up with each other in a pick up race,
they can start blowing each other up in UT2004 to release their
frustration.  The main purpose is to add as much as possible for our
customers.

Then why do you want to play it if it's no big deal?

It's the same group of people.  Kyle Crouse does the web programming
and helps out Shawn Morris with accounting and billing issues.  Jayme
Blackmon does the graphics and helps out with Marketing.  Chris
Blackman works with Kyle on the rankings, Matt Thomas does the OLRtv
every Wed and Thursday nights, as well as the Shootouts every month.
Edward Alexander is the CEO of the company and we work together on
financial matters.

We've had some challenges along the way, but things are finally
starting to blend together.  As I have told members before, during the
last 12 months since we did the Flashpoint/OLR merger, I have thought
many times to give up and break it off.  There was many times I
doubted myself if this was all worth it.  There were times we have
bickered back and forth, but we hung in there and kept working as much
as possible.  I keep reminding myself of what Harriet Beecher Stowe
once said...

"When you get in a tight place and everything goes against you, till
it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give
up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."

I still think we have much work ahead of us and changes to do for the
better, but we are finally heading in the right direction.

Free OLR Trial & Trucks and GN Mods on OLR

Listen.  I USED to race on OLR, until they started charging for it.  Sorry,
but I do not believe in PAY TO RACE.  Online racing (in general, not the
site) should be FREE, as it was originally set up by Sierra.
I was hoping that N3 would be included in this deal that Joe mentioned, but
it doesn't appear so.

No matter.  I can live without OLR.  I was hoping to get back on it so I
could compile stats again...oh well...
