Whether you believe me or not I love playing racing games too. Mostly I’ve been playing Grand Turismo, Crash Bandicot etc. since high school so yeah I love race challenges. This year I tried an online game called CTRacer, it is a racing game the difference is it’s an online game.
"This is just a quick brief of CTRacer. I tried so many games these past weeks or so with different genres."
QUICK BRIEF OF WHAT IS CTRACER:
-"It’s an online racing game with a map to explore. Just imagine a RPG game where your character is not a being but a car, where your healing pots are not potions but gas stations, where your items/accessories are not clothes but engines/body kits/etc and where your map is a giant city with routes and highways to go. And yes just like an RPG you can take quest/mission either race with someone, destination points, hunt “speeding cars”(LOL) or challenge your co-racers (like a pvp equivalent). What I like in this game most (that made me try it) are the mountain courses that can make you remember “Initial D” (if you heard that). The mountain passes are all the same even the names are the same so yes I am a big fan of Takumi and I want to do the drifting just like he does on thoses mountain passes!"
ANYWAY BACK TO THE IMPRESSION:
-So I found out about CTRacer from an internet (thanks to surfing) and it has cool graphics so far. I started playing this game at OBT of CTRacer, play the courses, done some quest and missions then logout. The reason for logging out? Well, to be honest it has lots of hackers and I mean it! The records are like “WTF?! Is that even possible only 19 seconds to reach the goal??!!”
Just like me lots of racing fans got disappointed because of cheaters roaming around. We all know hackers are everywhere in any online games but the thing is the hackers at CTRacer are too obvious that you will end up cursing for playing fair but can’t have a fair players. There’s an old saying “If you can’t beat them, join them” along the line so now almost everyone (but not all) are hackers!! That time I expect the game will not last long and I was right! Later September only few are playing the game. The effects of hackers/cheaters really helped a lot in worsening the situation. It’s like a ghost town and I would love to draw ghost at the city roaming around to make it a realistic ghost city. The game did not meet the “fair play” that most players want making it a big EPIC FAIL in any racing online games.
So the GMs come up with a bright idea (sarcasm) and that is to reset the game AGAIN. This time they will be putting a hack preventing tool (Wow! You just thought about that now?) so hackers or 3rd party tools cannot get inside the game. They also made an event called “Ask the GM event” to drag the players to play the game, just ask the GMs anything like CT (currency in CTRacer), Mileage and stuffs. Just like the event title implies, you can ask anything and the GM will give it to you! (Except the Tech points which is equivalent to stat points of the car) This event lasted up to the day before the reset and after that all will start from scratch.
From what the announcement made by CTRacers, the Reset Date is October 6, 2009 (which is yesterday) and they will use HackShield services. I don’t know the difference of HackShield to GameGuard aside from the price but I hope it can wash away not all (because that’s impossible) but most hackers in-game.
I’ll try to play this game again and make a full review out of it maybe next-next week or so. For the meantime best of luck for me!!
NOTE: These are just my thoughts regarding this game, if you don’t agree that’s not my concern any more.
