I have a cable modem and raced 8 other people today online and had very few
warping problems. I understand everyone's milage may vary but at least it's
FREE! I played on TEN for a while too and thought it was great till I saw my
bank account shrinking away. I think the multiplayer is great as is, so what
if they don't have the point system like TEN. GPL doesn't have anything like
that and you don't see people complaining, so I don't think it really adds to
anything. Once everyone gets in leagues you'll know who's the clean racers.

I just started running GPL online and am quite happy with the VROC
system/GBS system though there are a few mild warping issues.  What is
'10' and what would the alternative be? Is it going to be anything
like VROC or GBS???

But without a ranking system how fun can it be?  There is no way that
you will know all the racers. And what fun would it be if you get one
bad racer who intentionally wrecks everyone?

Funny thing is, this doesn't seem to happen with GPL on VROC.

I suppose GPL racers tend to have invested more time in learning the
sim, so they are more interested in actually racing than just messing
around.

And despite some complaints in the newsgroup, on the whole I find the
standards of politeness and consideration on the track to be extremely
high.

If TEN is different with Nascar races, maybe it just reflects the era
being simulated - the racers were more gentlemanly in 1967!

I did not paying, it was only $13 a moth which I would gladly pay any for
their great service!

Or maybe it was because only 31,000 units of GPL (Of which I am one)
were sold.
LOL.
