Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.
However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.
On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.
In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.
Question for Rryst or anyone with knowledge on how our servers are selected
So after the whole issue that happened over the weekend, it made me wonder how it is selected what server we connect into for the races. I didn't know if it was just an algorithm to decide which server you would have the best connection to, or if it is selected when you create your account and from that point forward that is the only server you can use for turfs or multilayer races? I didn't know if it would be possible to add an option to select other servers or if important user information is kept on this server so that is why we are unable to switch easily. Just wanted to get some input on this topic.

See I thought that too, but then it wouldn't make sense why I can have separate devices on my local network that each connect to a different one of their servers. That is why I am wondering if it is decided when you create your account.
