Project Torque Notice- Servers will be closing
Announcement end: 16 Jul 2010 16:59 Hello,
It brings me great sadness to be the one to announce this to you all.
We are all aware that Project Torque has not been what it used to this past several months. The drop off of players has left a very noticeable impact on us in all areas.
We (Invictus & Aeria Games) had ultimately put a lot of faith in the Julia build to help us grow the community back to what it used to be. Although we had seen some improvements (some older and newer players returning to the game!), it is simply not happening as fast as we had hoped.
Sadly to say, despite our best of efforts we are no longer able to support the game. We have put together a schedule for the remainder of the month that will lead into the server final shut down.
The final burnout schedule:
July 15th 2010: Shut down of both the in game and web item malls from making purchases of AP Items. RP currency will still be usable during this time. During this time we will be unlocking just about all unreleased items and running nonstop events in the game for prizes. This includes the unreleased cars that have yet to make it into the game.
July 17th through August 2nd: Daily events will be run that give out numerous prizes and locked items that have not yet been released in PT.
August 2nd 2010: Complete shutdown of the game servers.
August 3rd 2010: Closing down of PT Forums.
Compensation plans:
We do plan on creating special promotional offers during this time frame as compensation to the few and proud users left in our great community. Some include a 100% AP refund for users who have spent in the last 90 days. A 200 AP gift for all current Active PT players (most likely a email with key redemption process) and possible setup of special packages from our current lineup of games that may include items from each title. We know a few play our other titles like Wolf Team and we will let you know as soon as information is available on these packages. We will be posting a separate thread up once we complete all the details of these offers. Rest assured we will take care of you all as best we can!
Personal note from GM_1Fastcrx:
As most of you know I have been a GM for this great game for over 2 years now and I loved every minute of it! Yes some of you were a pain! But it didn’t matter we all had a blast together and respected one another throughout the thick and thin, the ups and downs, and the flat out just terrible times. I know I’m an optimistic voice to some here; it saddens me to be the bearer of such terrible news and disappoint you in doing so with this post. It is something I never thought I would have to present to this great community. I do not enjoy one second of creating this post.
We all had nothing but hope for Project Torque here at Aeria Games, and to this day still believe that Invictus has a great game and that it will get the recognition it deserves one day. Again you are all aware of the hardships that we have endured throughout the past 2 years. There are a strong few that are still here and have stuck to it since the beginning. I really must say that even in the darkness that has shadowed PT in the last two years there is still light in the end of it all. We have all gained new friendships, memories, and overall exciting experiences.
I could not have asked for a better community to be a part of and a better game to be a GM for. I thank each and every one of you for your continued support! You ultimately were the ones responsible for this games success and progress. The game will now be back in Invictus’s hands, in the hopes that they will excel Project Torque to new heights and continue to progress the game.

I just wondering the statement by the GM.
The game will now be back in Invictus’s hands, in the hopes that they will excel Project Torque to new heights and continue to progress the game.

I misunderstood that the sentence "The game will now be back in Invictus’s hands, " to ""The game will NOT back in Invictus’s hands,
so, this announce means Aeria will return their North American right to Invictus. We dont know who succeed this North American rights. Invictus hold the North American license for the future publisher or for themselves? Invictus give it to Gamepot? or sell it to Gamigo? Now I cant imagine what would happens.

Actually, it is not only ip-ban issue but also free to play nerd issue same like Level-R Japan. Ofcourse ip-block against non-North american ip makes lessen PT player. But , originally, those non-north Amercan player is not legally welcomed players ,considering licency issues. It is easy to understand another example that if you enter United States without proper permission or entry visa, you will be repelled from United States because violation of immigration law. It is same situation with PT.
US Project Torque allowed to use multiple account/PC-farming play/ time attack play which it dispromotes to purchase Aeria Points. They dont care for customers who paid real money, and they fellow guest players opinion who should not insist claims game. Alloed multiple account/PC-farming makes customer feel it is stupid to pay for game.
(customer is the people who pay real money on game. I dont think non-paid player is not customer,they are but just a guest player.)
At the early of the stage when PT had launched I suggest that stop no farmer (I forgot where was my post sorry) , and some other customer suggest same, but Pt allowed those dummy account play.

But..I also concerning about some issue on Level-R. One is high spec RP cars and the other is GT car.
Now, Class 6 or class7 area all RP cars and it is difficult to understand who want to buy class-5 real car?
Personally, I think no need high level RP-car. Or high level RP car should be available only by real money.No need to care for guest player who have much time to practice. also, GT-car should be bought ony by customer and no need for guest player.
By the way, I post about the contract issue on Gamigo forum, some PT players who dont know the history of Level-R(JP), they blame my post is propaganda or lies on Project torque forum without any logical explain. But it is appear they are still misleading the situation. if they have enough education they would realize what it happned this 9 months. I dont hate and blame anyone for personal issues . But I hate and blame against LIER and agitator with propaganda. Actually, Aeria GM already admitted Gamigo have global right except north america. But they still keep negativa propaganda campain, is weild.
Dear a GS on Project Torque
You comment on PT forum , you insist0 that I hate you, is wrong. I have nothihg hatered or compalin against you with any personal issue. But you did mislead customer with propaganda in Aeria Forum and the chat, especially, ip-block issue. It is better to cease stupid propaganda, is too misery and it makes bad reputation on you.
I am one of the oldcomer who played level-R from technical test 2006 , earlier than you. I can check press release by US, Japan and Chinese text so I can have more press release than US players. Also, I am who I test closed beta of Project torque for Last Chaos user Aug 2007, and I announced Project Torque to Japanese Player to promote Japanese player immigrate to PT.
