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.

No more selling cars and cash?

I read the Glu TOS and it specifically say anyone caught selling virtual material (cars, cash, etc) will be banned and lose everything. Any thoughts on this?

    That's pretty dumb, it will be hard to prove too. unless you are selling mills, I guess they will see you constantly losing millions

    Even then it would still be speculation. They don't have the ability to prove you "sold" anything. Unless they hack you're paypal...lol

    Are they able to monitor the forums at all or not run by game company?

    The only way to stop that is by removing the option to pink which in turn would completely ruin the game. The list of people who deal in the black market is crazy. Good luck putting stop to that.

    It says no trading virtual stuff for real currency. You can still trade virtual for virtual.

    selling/trading/buying thru virtual currency should be okay. its when someone sells/buy for real currency is when those possible consequences can occur

    I think in the big picture, they see mills selling for 10-15% of RR's in game price.

    So that part of the ToS is really nothing new. Have you read most online game ToS'es? Pretty much standard. I already went over all this in another thread awhile back....
