Just thought it should be mentioned on the forum area as well...

MrA in the front page news says:
Nadeo made an announcement which consists of good news and bad better news...

I think it has potential to bring some new players, if people can find out about it, but as always I've seen no TV adverts to mention this is happening at all

just a note, unlimited access to multiplayer only.

Hopefully this will kick some life back into the community on here. TMNF players have no excuse now.

lolnope. editor is still limited.

The community does not just consist of track builders. Most potential players for this game will likely be playing it for driving and competition; creative tools have been Nadeo's peripheral obligation/marketing point since TM2 anyway.

As much as I love the editor now, I will admit that I didn't even open the editor for a year and a half when I first found TM.

Weirdly, it's one of the first things I did! I remember going onto Mr.A's old server and asking people how to validate maps and stuff
