Kirkenes Quarry

[Roop]

I can almost understand why people would pretend to be in a traffic jam all the way from Duisberg to Dover but what's the attraction to Kirkenes? I mean, it's the back end of nowhere.

It's a challenging road, very narrow, with multiple points where you HAVE to give way or you won't ever move. It's a test of patience, skill(more so with an HCT/triple/etc), and behavior. It's also a very long road. It meets every qualification to be a busy road.

Calais-Duisburg road is popular because it's accessible by everyone that owns the game, goes through a common routing area of the map, and everyone else is driving on it. It is not popular because it's a challenge, requires skill, or patience. The only challenge is passing players without violating the rules or causing an accident.

There was a time when C-D was just a connecting road, with very few players even on a maxed server. That's because everyone was in Europoort. Those were fun days. It naturally progressed to C-D and hasn't changed since then.

I would gladly spend 12+ hours a day in virtual traffic jams on either road. But Kirkenes is far more fun.

Well, I hope to give it a try when I get all the dlc installed.
