What makes official multiplayer better than etsmp?

[Kasenumi]

8 players official, thousands on private.

Number of player will be increased later. But the biggest benefits will be having AI traffic and mod use allowed. Also, not having kids racing around ramming and folks blasting music and/or screaming on the CB all the time. Not to mention the lag-fest whenever any player density of more than 20 or so is encountered. ;)

No CD situations anymore
Need I say more?

Ryu said it pretty well, but let's turn the question around. What makes TruckersMP better than Convoy?

- Larger player count
- Customisable CB experience

And what makes Convoy better?
- Easier to manage groups of players
- Mods
- AI Traffic(and the ability to yeet AI if you so choose)
- Smooth gameplay
- Self-moderating
- Customisible lobby experience
- Rules are what you want them to be
- Kick whoever you don't like
- Be you without the ability to be banned from the service
- Ability to play together immediately when an update comes out, instead of waiting weeks, or even months for a 3rd-party service(TruckersMP) to update
- Controlled environment to introduce your friends without risking yourself getting banned, can basically say "hey ♥♥♥♥" as a greeting and no one will bother you.

The list of both is much longer, and both do share a lot of the points that can be made. For example Larger Player count is both a pro and a con for both.

Made by the official and rightful developers of the base games. Not a hack like TMP.

in addition to all of the above.

TruckersMP is nothing more than a game Hack.

Is this where we take a moment of silence for TMP?? hehehe

[TwinShadow]

I won't miss TMP, never did. lol

But there will always be a cult following for them.. Or.. well, is it me or have they always been a cult? Hah.. Hah..... ahem... anyway..

Just to clarify something real fast, mod support isn't there, yet. But it should in the future once most of the major kinks and bugs are fixed and buffed out.

TruckersMP will die a slow death after SCS Convoy is fully released in 1.41

There are already quite a number of Servers up and running for ATS and ETS2.

You compare a beta with a non beta. Do you expect _all_ ETS2 players are on the beta?

And then there are many players out there, that just have no interest in multiplayer. Having an official multiplayer, won't change this.

i never liked the rules on tmp, but they had some advantages over scs convoy not gonna lie.

Just my personal opinion but: If this hits the live client, then ppl with vr will be able (hopefully) to drive with their friends while sitting behind the wheel in vr. Thats one of the downsides from my pov from TMP that you cant rly use VR.

So name them.

A big one, for me, those of us playing on Mac will get to participate in the Convoy...
