[delpinsky]

Just upgraded to Full Member :)

Keep up the good work and make pCARS the best SIM on the market!

[James Brooks]

This is a great oppurtunity to play a great game a year early...get the game on release...and potentially make money off of it...i dont think theres a sweeter deal that ever existed!

[Bleifuss]

Upgrade done :)

[kidcurry]

upgrade done! Refund from Rfactor Beta!

[Raymond de Vries]

upgrade done! Refund from Rfactor Beta!

Seriously?? LOL
I would have done the same if i "bought" (betabuy) Rf2...

[cbrown119]

A quick question..."Receive a free copy of the released game". Is that on any platform or just a PC copy? And if someone would choose a console version, how would the mods/patches/and other files be distibuted?

Thanks.

[Benjamin Fischer]

Done.

I like this nice little detail: "Get an opponent named after you"

You doing are a great job so far, just keep up this pace and we all will have a wonderful game.

[D-Ther]

Upgraded !

love the game so far, good work.

[Sean_S36]

So does that now mean, so called share holder,(now referred to as member) is no longer entitled to any future profit? If so this means that PCars is no longer an investment but just another way for customer to purchase a game. ( iracing ). My intention was to helping out a company, which is my hobby.

[Dan Blamey]

Nope, it's still the same deal as before, just that team members will get a discount voucher/coupon to the value of their membership with which to buy the game. No one was ever a 'shareholder' and it has been stated multiple times this is not an 'investment' in the strict sense of the word.

[Vistaron]

Yes!

[Remco Van Dijk]

So does that now mean, so called share holder,(now referred to as member) is no longer entitled to any future profit? If so this means that PCars is no longer an investment but just another way for customer to purchase a game. ( iracing ) If I Knew you guys were here to lie and mislead your shareholders! ,now members ,then I would never have contributed. My intention was to helping out a company, which is my hobby. Sad world really.
So you first ask a question (which you should if things aren't clear) but then immediately jump to conclusions before the question has been answered and call SMS liars? Not a good way to go about if you would like to stay here (and hence share in future profit).

It never was an investment to begin with, please get your facts straight before accusing us of something.

Every one should read this before uttering anything negative or of what SMS has informed anyone about to this point regarding Terms and conditions....

[Tobias Tasch]

I upgrade from Team Member to Senior because i will get Access to exclusive track(s).

[Christoph Myszk]

So you have to be senior to get access to exclusive tracks?

[marcelo_morpheus]

Ready. I think it was 25 euros very well spent. :a06:
I hope we can now accelerate the development of this beautiful project.:D

[loxx31]

Upgrated. Pcars is now critized in many simracing league forum but IMO, Pcars is supposed to be the best sim ever made when it is finished. How will look hardcore RF2 fans in one year? Probably playing PcArs.

[Spiky Cactus]

Just did so 5 minutes ago :]

Well I just ignore them. Who cares what they think I know how good pCars is.

[llywellyn]

I did it. I like this very good project. Every friday, I want to thank this developper team for this incredible work.
I'm member for a few weeks now, so I'm not able to comment at this time about bugs. But, I'm proud to support PCars.

[Riccardo De Rosa]

Ok! I'm Full member now! Next step: senior! ;)

[Greeny]

[dimitri2401]

I really have faith in the project, but unfortunately I can't really give more money than my Team Member level right now :(

I hope I'll be able to upgrade soon!

[Darkaeon]

I love the project and the whole concept of it ... As a result I just upgraded ( Keep it up guys you do a great job )

[Matthew Hardwick]

Another full member here :)

[Dimahoo]

Here too. And well worth it anyway IMO.
But I now fully expect a Puy Du Dome 67' (or "Auvergne") to make an appearence at some point!
I want to suffer the same vertigo induced fun drivers often complained of!

[Neil Bateman]

Just upgraded this morning, cant say enough about how impressed i am with this game so far, every time i have had a small issue in one build it seems to be fixed in the next build.

Love the choice of cars, and 2 of my top 5 tracks are already here, just add nordschleife on the next build please lol.

+1. Charade, one of the best track of the 60's.

[RaceManIak]

I'm waiting for the exclusive Tracks list before upgrade to full member or senior

p.s. I want Mosport and/or Road Atlanta lol

[Magik]

Upgraded :)

[Goran Johansson]

Thanks to CARS friday is the best day of the week.

I'm not old. (I hope) but now I am a senior

[dkillone]

I just updated to Full Member as well, heck, just lurking these forums, has made it worth while for me. Pretty much everything about this project is awesome and lots of great learning for a nooby like me.

Thanks everyone, from Devs being so active, constantly providing information on what their plans are/what they are up to, for including us/pretty much allowing us to make decisions on how the game path should go, and just being awesome in general. Also, even the non-devs, I've learned a lot from you all, so muchas gracias.

[alisdairb1995]

Hopefully upgrading to Full Member or Senior very soon, great way to support the awesome work already put in by the developers.

[Wendte]

Allready upgraded. It ist great to be a part of the project

[Goran Johansson]

Do we have one or moore Senior managers today??? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Howie_2012]

Yes, WayneGR ;)

[fran_o]

Senior? I am senior, really (27/02/1958)!:cool:

[rlprestin]

Upgrade done! Glad to support such a great project. Something to really look forward to later in the year.

[Andrew Clark]

I still see in the members list a lot of free users of the forum and I'd like to say to all of you it's a good time to jump in and start testing the software.

Unfortunately they cannot read you... but eventually they may perceive your words and follow your suggestion. :)

The Free users can read News & Announcements, can't they?

You know it's sunday.... (yes they can, i tought i were replying to a General section thread).

[Rob Prange]

Hehe good :)

[fur0r3]

Is there somewhere we can see how many members there are in the different Tiers? The info on top of the forum is great, but it whould be interesting to see how the (38,5K ) members are spread out on the Tiers.

[Rob Prange]

Well, you can do the math yourself pretty easily :)

[fur0r3]

This is very true.
But doing this everytime I come in to get a feel for the progression of the Tears is not my type of cake.
This is not an important feature. By far not. But it whould be fun.

Some members have a custom access (especially the Managers and Senior Managers), so these numbers wouldn't be true. Also the number of members doesn't tell you about the real progression, because it's the total amount that counts (if we look at financial aspect): in example a Junior upgrading to Full Member remains a single account, but he/she's contribute more.

[X-dark]

I'm a bit surprised to see this: "Receive a free copy of the released game" in the full member perks.

From what I understood back in October, everyone would get a free copy of the game. It is even stated here (http://www.wmdportal.com/projectnews/tool-packs-perks-and-fees-101/#more-309):

Not only that, but when the game is ultimately released, you’ll receive a free copy and money back based on its success and your position on the team.

Maybe I'm mistaken and since the old terms and conditions are no more available it is not easy to see what have changed but this is the impression I had when I bought my junior membership.

[Darkaeon]

JUNIOR

Can REPLY to project-specific forum threads
Can READ meeting minutes
Can play MONTHLY builds
Plus Juniors get a 10 euro voucher off the price of the game when released

Yes and ?

[Vittorio Rapa]

I'm a bit surprised to see this: "Receive a free copy of the released game" in the full member perks.

We asked our members to decide to abandon the initial Free2Play model for a more traditional Retal Copy game, the retail copy won (outcome of the poll). Initially the Junior and Team Members were receiving the game client (as anyone else, since it was "free") plus an equivalent (in money) game contents, but with a traditional game distribution this wasn't possible anymore, so we decided (after another poll) to introduce the "Full Member" tier, that will receive a free copy of the game; while the Junior and Team Members will receive a discount over the retail price of the exact amount of what they paied (10 and 25 euro).
We had two big yellow notices at the top of the forum, to inform the people about this changes, asking them to vote: it is essential you surf the forum occasionally, if you want to be informed of what's happening.

Thanks for this detailed answer. I haven't been able to come around lately thus I was not aware of any of these polls.

[RoadStar]

I just joined at Full Member... for $60.00, its worth it to beta test and get the full game when it comes out....a no brainer for me... I can spend 60.00 on a meal and that lasts only 1 hour....
