[zaphod]

did you check your spam folder? Or did it tell you it was out of keys?

I played this for about 2 hours yesterday, damn fun and it's really hard to quit playing! Lag seems to be a problem though, the game felt fine when I had a friend in stockholm here start a server, but playing on other ones i always had some noticeable lag. Maybe it would be nice if the player gets a warning about lag when he joins a server too far away? I was also confused about what the best server was to join, the server rank numbers were in random order so I never knew if 6 or 1 was the best =), took a few tries to figure that out.

Overall the racing feels pretty nice, but it can get damn hard to control the carts though! As soon as I hit something, it always took me ages to get back on the track. And it can be very frustrating, if there is only like half a second of lag happening you often find yourself hitting a wall or falling of a cliff.

But still, damn fun! There seems to be quite a bit of tweaking left but it's getting there =).
