Is RT2 still alive

[conomark]

Hi,

Just found The Terminal and love it!  I recently obtained RT2 Platinum and am learning.  I just wondered with the release of RT3 if there was still going to be some action (like new maps) in the RT2 section.

Well I can't guarantee people will keep making new maps but I suspect there will be a few every now and then.

As soon as I figure out how to make a map look like my province and add the info about it, I will upload it. (But wont be for a while)

I got RRT2 platinum also, it was a good buy.

I suspect RT2 is really dead now, the last message posted here is 6 months ago... :(

I've parked RRT3 and started playing RRT2 SE again.  A few others are doing the same.

[MiG]

To me that's difficult to imagine. Every train needs to be loaded, I think that's a complete waste of time: What are managers for? ???

[Gwizz]

In RRT2 your company can hire a special manager.  Some build track cheaper or buy locos cheaper, etc.

Managers were dropped in RRT3.

[MiG]

I know, I just think you should have some kind of a stationmanager who puts the right cargo on the train (like in RT3), also I don't like the non-realistic factor that you can send passengers anywhere and I think the new economic system (in RT3) is a lot better.

[Gwizz]

That is a good idea.

I'm glad to here there are some rt2 users out there.

I too, like to run short lines that supply main line station/depots.  I  don't necessarily play for the win, but like the simulation part of the game.

I've been working on a rt2 map with some help from Ray Allen.  It's been kind of on the back burner, but if people are still playing rt2 I may have to move it out front :)

[Gwizz]

Move your map out front.  There still is pop in players.  I give the terminal a look see about every 2 or 3 days. 

But I seldom respond to questions about games other then the Tycoon games.  I'm reading about the Northern

Pacific RR and its' connection with RRs along the Columbia River lines.  Plans are to use the information to make a map. 

 

Still looking for JSS.  He gave me a RR book that I enjoyed.  I may tie it in to the map of the Northern Pacific RR.  

And I would like to give some positive payback to him for the gift he gave me.

Gwizz, it looks like you just replied to a post from 2004 (almost 12 years old). Even if that map is still on the back burner, the burner might not exist anymore.

[Gwizz]

Yea I know; but, I was hoping that he might still post that map.  

I am still trying to make MS 10 work like I want it to.  Maybe I should reload 7 or XP.

Aha! A little searching shows his last post was in 2006. His history also shows a Dec-2004 thread announcing his finished map (I guess you missed it 11 years ago). See Conomark's RT2 Susquehanna map.
