We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Max loan amount on servers since 1.2.0? #4 12 years 7 months ago #677

I am pretty sure the max loan was not set to 100k on the old Desert Short goal, #4. Dunno if this is the case on the other servers too, but should probably fix it. :3	Zalmar Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 61 Thank you received: 0

This is a smart, challenging and really player selective decision. The problem come with the type of engines... I mean, with 200k loan you afford easily to buy SH (temperate server), but if you try to play on desert/winter server (were the engines are more expensive) is very hard to have a decent start.	meanbrake Offline New Member Posts: 7 Thank you received: 0

True on that.	Goodblue77 Offline Senior Member Posts: 59 Thank you received: 1

it's not remotely interesting when the only thing you can build is a tiny route with a single train...

The loan was never this tiny previously. It's utterly silly.

Desert is fun for microing multiple train around on a single track without using signals to optimize your start - you don't even have enough cash to do that as it stands now

EDIT: Lower loan does not invite "more interesting gameplay", it just limits people who are a bit more imaginative. Sure you'll have bad players throwing down a big track and only a single train to occupy it, but good players just get limited in what they can do when the loan is stupidly low initially.

Right - it may make SOME sense on the Quick server (still against it tbh), but it's entirely too slow and boring on others (Desert).

I have no trouble adapting and can still do ~100k routes with the 200k loan, but it slows down the game far too much and it honestly means I'll be alt-tabbed 50% of the time.

More money = more options = more interesting when you actually know what you're doing.

Using that money correctly is what makes the difference between getting to Goal in 5 or 10 years.

Yes, you're using other trains, but that doesn't change the fact that it just limits your options. Doing 2 trains on a single track (signal-ignoring) from the start is fun and challenging.

It may force new players to get better but it forces better players to sit on their ass and be BORED.

EDIT: Not to mention, have fun going farms, hahahahaha. Or building on a map that has a large amount of them close together.
