 Economic theory says that everything has its lifetime.

 This applies to a game like RR3 as well as to my interest in playing it. I knew that the moment will come to say Goodbye and I felt it drawing closer since the last 2 or 3 updates. I am not leaving in anger or frustration as I read from some here. It is just time. This game sucks too much of my time. One cannot keep up with the updates without spending a least two hours per day. I have been playing for 22 months now and I have reached level 217 owning all available cars with a total Garage value of 429 Mio. I never bought GC and I still have around 3800 left.

 In my opinion RR3 is coming to an end of life point soon. FM tries to expand that with some add-ons like Exclusive Series, new tracks, cars like MP4-X or the long awaited Formula E. But the game has some conceptual problems like the lack of real new play modes (unfortunately Exclusive Series is just more of the same), or the problem that it becomes more and more difficult to enter for new players. The game is getting older and so are its players (and even the cars in the game). But one of the main problems is, you cannot decide by your own how often you want to play and how much time you are ready to invest without losing track (that was better in the beginning when special events were added to the game series later on). The game doesn’t need any more cars. It needs regular challenges. That’s why I started to like WTTTs so much. There you have a challenge every week and you are free to skip it without losing progress.

 I had a lot of fun and feel a strong addiction. Cold turkey will hit me the next days, maybe weeks. But perhaps even more than the game I will miss this Wiki where I found great tips, interesting people and last but not least it provided a nice platform to practice my English.

 Thanks to you all guys! Especially to the admins and faithful long-term contributors.

 Race on!
