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.

Idea for Effective RR Trading System!!!

Hey guys,
I felt like proposing a new addition to Racing Rivals: A fair, scam-free trading/selling system. Keep in mind: this is just an idea that may never be used, and there are still many flaws, but just want to put it out there to see what you think. Here’s how it might go:
  • When you friend a player and they are online, under the options “Unfriend”, “Ping/Chat”, and “Join”, there is a fourth option: “Request Trade.”
  • You may put up a certain amount of cash or a specific car to offer the player in the “Request Trade” phase.
    • If the player rejects the offer, the trade is instantly canceled, showing the player has no interest in your offer. (By the way chat with the player you are trading is provided.)
  • If the player accepts the offer, he/she puts up what he/she is willing to trade for the offer. The other player sees either the amount of cash or the car put up in the offer.
  • This player either confirms or changes to the trade.
    • If he/she agrees, the trade is automatically made, and each player gives the other player what they offered and gets what they were offered.
    • If he/she disagrees, the trade goes back to first person, who can change their offer to something else. (Once again, chat is up for negotiating.)
  • The trade continues back and forth, just like when raising bets in a race.
  • As soon as both sides agree with what they are receiving for the price of what they are offering, the trade is closed and done.

This system, if it proves successful, will effectively:
  • remove the need for vouchers (although they still help)
  • decrease the amount of Scammer lists and Scammer alerts.
  • make it easier to identify hackers in the game.

GLU obviously is not in support nor obliged to help with car sales and trades, but if they ever decide to update the game this could just be something to add to it. Comment anything to add that I missed and any problems with this idea. Thanks guys!

    The only bad thing about this is hackers can find a way around this and the RR devs and mods will never give your car back because it will still be "Unsuported player trades/sales" so this is a good idea but probably will never happen the RR devs just want your money they BARELY care if you get scammed
