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.
I've been a long time player of this game and even long time forum member. I have played this game faithfully and spent a considerable amount of money. The state of this game has continued to go down hill for the past year and i feel like it has hit its all time low. GLU has always promised to remedy cloners/hackers/apk for the past SEVERAL updates. People continue to pump money into this game, however you continue to let these modders take the game lower and lower. How come all this money isnt being put back into the game and correcting these issues? You keep finding "new cars" and licensing agreements but i speak for many of the old timers when i say "****" new cars. Fix the **** game first so we can play without being robbed.
Brings me to my next point.....your customer service is filled with absolute morons. You are hiring people who do not even play the game or support it. These apk users are running times that are impossible. I dont give a **** about the coding or what you claim the car can do. If it can be done then prove it. Let me see you run a 6.4 in a zonda, 9.6 in a civic si, or a 6.2 in a Koenisigg. You guys have never been about your customers and loyal base of players. This game will be dead if you do not turn it around.
And i appreciate the 200 free gems (right in the middle of turf) so these daffodils apk users can change their name for the next leg of events.

That's one of my questions, how can they be putting "New Cars" every second week, when they cannot even fix all these hackers with modded apks

Yes many racers have sold off their accts and got what they could out of the game while they could.! Can you blame any of them? I have been contemplating the same. I was holding hope that this would all blow over but it really doesn't seem like it's going to, and It really doesn't seem like Glu cares either. The hackers have ruined what was once a good thing and Glu allowed this to happen but not taking any proactive approaches to fix it. A few moderators per server banning ip addresses of guys who are clearly hacking would have stopped this along time ago... Oh well what's done is done and this game will be over soon

I just don't understand why someone would spend real money here. I have read some posts where people "claim" they spent $100's + on the game. Why? If ya know it's broken (the game) then why? Ya know the hackers will do all they can to take all you have.
As for me, I'll spend my cash elsewhere.
