I just don't get it. Why won't you make it Vista compatible? Don't you see what kind of chance you're missing here?
Way back you released MTA: Race because DM was not finished yet. Back then SA-MP was not even in the picture yet. Despite it not being the final product, the servers were flooded and everyone loved it.
And as we kept playing, we learned that something like this might just actually be more fun then MTA: DM. Especially with deathmatch maps like Destruction Derby and Break.
And then SA-MP came and beat MTA to the DM mode, and everyone started playing SA-MP. I don't know how MTA: DM is right now, but when I last checked it most servers were utterly dead.
My point is, you've basically thrown away a great product and gave everyone a second choice product in the place. You have the gold mine right under your eyes, but you won't use it. I bet you hell, you start updating MTA: Race again actively the servers will be flooded again. Why? Because it's something new and refreshing, different from what we're used to.
I'm just making a suggestion here, leave DM for what it is and start focusing on Race again. MTA: DM never got the success you expected. Ever since SA-MP came it's been a second choice. But you people have the opportunity to do something new.
