Is S2 still worth buying?

[Koocka]

Hi all!

I've been playing LFS since S2 A i think, and now i'm planning to buy a license because i'm getting bored with racing the XRT on BL GP, with the noname crashers and with the noobz who can't even vote a kick or a res.

Is it still worth buying? Nowadays i end up with useless accounts, because if i don't buy a game when it's released, the community disappears in a year or two, and all i get is 4 people playing on 2 servers, and that's all.

Is the LFS community still growing as it did before? I don't want to have another nice (payed) acc. that worth nothing.

[N I K I]

don't be afraid man, we are bigger every day :razz:

buy it, i garantie you will be addicted.

[djgizmo68]

LFS will never dye until way after S3 IMO :) BUY IT!

[kurent]

This community is bigger then it ever was and still growing. You can see how many people are online here:
http://www.lfsworld.net

Also, if you are licenced it keeps track of your statistics.

[Madman_CZ]

heh.. the community is still growning and fast. Last year pre-s2 Q there were around 9000 members on this forum. Today there are now Members: 18,884 and this has increased by another 2000 since around Christmas. It definitely getting bigger. There are more people online than ever and there is some great fun to be had on the servers. True not all servers are full but there are a few good frequently visited servers but the LFS community.

The CTRA servers are good fun and you can have some action packed racing on there, the servers are not available at the moment due to the patch X and licence software update. They will be back though soon.

You can often find some noob here and there on some of the servers but generally they are very clean of any serious wrecking and noobish driving thanks to the wrecker barricade.

I would definitly recommend investing you hard earned cash into LFS S2, guarantee that you will have fun!

Simple answer - YES! LFS is the best racing sim of all time, the best £24 you can spend. :)

[Vykos69]

The number of daily users online increased since S1 release by about 300% If people remember the first year of S1 and the max. users online. To nowadays numbers. Physics update next and S2 final, and then it goes on and on. The community is way more stable than any comparable in the web. Maybe WC3 and CS are on the same level, in terms of continuus players.

[KanseiDneova]

Buy it, i played demo for over a year. When i bought it, played 8 hours the first day. Never gone through a day without playing it.

[Linsen]

And we'll probably get an insane influx of new players once S2 final is released -- whenever that will be.

[The Very End]

Hehe, when you asking on the official LFS forum, if it`s worth to buy it, well then you allready know what kind of answer you will get :tilt:
Well, as people say, it grows.
More and more people are joining this game, sure there are people who leaves it, but currently it gaining more people than it lose, I can`t think of many games that goes like this nowdays :)

[r4ptor]

Demo vs. full version is like frozen pizza vs. a proper home cooked meal - go for it :thumb:

[Richard Torp]

I has played LFS since march 2003 (demo) and license since june 2003 and I`m still here and a lot of mates from that time too.. :)

LFS is a long lasting product.. :D If i`m not dead in a 4 years time..i`ll still play LFS.. :razz:

[faster111]

Yes it is you get events clean racing and more.

[Bob Smith]

Demo vs. full version is like frozen pizza vs. a proper home cooked meal - go for it :thumb:
Agreed, frozen pizzas rock (once cooked).

Oh hang on.... :p

[96 GTS]

No, S2 is NOT worth buying. I certainly haven't enjoyed the heck out of LFS the past almost 5 year, I certainly don't like the close and clean racing S2 has to offer. I most definitely don't like all the extra cars and tracks S2 has to offer, and I certainly don't wish I'd discovered LFS sooner..

:p

All of the above was sarcasm, by the way. By S2, you won't regret it, it's great. :)

Frozen Pizzas > all! So your similie is flawed, becuase I prefer frozen pizza to any food, but S2 is waaay better than Demo.

[GruntOfAction]

I seriously thought it was worth buying untill I realised how most of the people act on S2. %80 are in diffrent countries and don't even speak english and the one's that do are either cocky little 12 year olds or they can't even speak english!

[Jakg]

80% are in different countries? Why does that matter.

97% of Racers speak English, and i'm not sure what server your on to find "Cocky 12 Year Olds"

[dawesdust_12]

I dunno, this guy really seems like he's flame baiting, going around going "I HATE LFS!!" and stuff...

[funnybone2]

im 12 and im not cocky :D:razz:

[Joris]

Hell yeah! Best money I ever spent!

(exept for the investments in my love handles):homersimp

[Nathan_French_14]

hmm, gruntofaction regrets buying S2 huh? B.S :D

[The Very End]

Well, if we going to flame eachother -
To be serious there are like 50% of LFS comunity that takes racing too serious.
Disobey one blue flag, and I bet that you get the fastest ban out there.. not to mention of you taking a stupid out-dated M.I.L.F joke to the admins (Don`t ask...).

But back to point, tho some people seems to take things too serious, there still are like... 99.8% nice people around there on the servers ;)

Well, back topic, you will not regret it!

[The General Lee]

S2 is honestly in my top 5 things bought...Ever!

Yesterday, I was getting help from a fellow racer on how to become even quicker. Yesterday I also had the most fun in LFS, both when I was learning new stuff from the guy in question, but I had a really great time having a fun night with my team mates.

The community is always willing to help, the close racing is second to none, the amount of noobs are minimal, the extra cars/tracks kicks me arse than Mr. T, everything about it is great, I was actually watching some replays of me during demo times and I thought to myself, there and then, I am sooo glad I bought S2.

S2 is so good, people are even buying it for other people!

Do it, you wont regret it!

[Koocka]

Thanks for the answers guys!

I think now i will HAVE TO buy S2... now i only have to figure out how 'cause no credit card is present around here ^^ anyway, see you soon on the track :thumb:

[The General Lee]

Ask DieKolkrabe to buy you one, but it will disappear in a month or two. :razz:

Only kidding.

You will find your self S2 licensed sooner or later friend.

[K.David]

Head over to the Hungarian LFS Forum (http://forum.liveforspeed.hu/) and ask around there. I know a person who (used to?) do these kind of favours :thumb:

[MyBoss]

Frozen Pizzas > all! So your similie is flawed, becuase I prefer frozen pizza to any food, but S2 is waaay better than Demo.



So when you make home made pizza, you put it in your freezer first, wait until the next day and then eat it? :really: :scratchch :tilt:

Nowadays i end up with useless accounts, because if i don't buy a game when it's released, the community disappears in a year or two, and all i get is 4 people playing on 2 servers, and that's all.

No offence but if you don't want to end up with useless accounts don't wait sooooooooo long to buy a game that you want/are interested in then :shrug: and if you do wait so long you can't really moan about it.

I'm also not really about persuading people to buy either, if you still have to ask about buying the game or not after so long then I say don't buy it.

Funnily guys who dislike youngest group playing are not many years older themself. You could try forza 2 to see if there is more mature online community :D

That's if it doesn't kill your 360 first.

[Indiana Jim]

I'd buy an S2 license if I were you. You'll have more cars and tracks to enjoy and it's a different community.

Initially, when you look for online races, you'd probably wonder why not many more races online. Well, most S2 racers belong to teams and race in sponsored league races. Many teams have their own servers and practice in private. Some teams have "team nights" where they race against each other.

All that said, at first sight it may look like there is little or no support for online racing, but if you visit the leagues' websites you can find their racing schedules and may be surprised to see 30 or more drivers in one race.

Some leagues offer multiple races on week ends and all these races are scheduled in their calendars.

As far as this community growing, yes, it is growing. You won't login one day and find everyone gone.

ill sum it up for you unless your gay ;D is a woman worth........

Sure. Demo isn't that bad-not really such a big difference between that and s2.

Er, the community still will be growing though.


On s2 there are about 600 servers.










Except that only about 25 are populated 90% of the time. Not including the private ones.
