Hello from Holland!
Enjoyed Atari 's Crashday a lot and got me into multiplayer online race-games. (am hosting CD Master Server since end 2009, after Atari pulled the plug).
Due to a severe nerve pain illness I got to spend a lot of time in Need for Speed: World. Had a lot of fun without the need to race, loved the open free-roam / World and easy socializing, shame EA ended it.
Then started to play Test Drive unlimited 2, as World' surrogate.
TDU2 's free roam & open world is great, shame the number of online players reduced and server is not stable.
These offline periods got me spending more time in The Crew and to like it better.
But am missing the social part, things like; having a goodv chat, meeting new friends, or just a nice hangout and talking fun in free-drive.
The Crew 's user-unfriendly chat options and menu sure don't make it easy to socialize
