Relaunching servers in Need for speed Carbon
wouldn't be so cool that you (ea) would revive servers for need for speed carbon at the launch of the heat or someday? that would be cool and everyone would be happy.

@CrabHead501 NFS Carbon's online servers are still online to this day. It's still online even after 13 years.
At least for the PC version.
- @TheRealJony yeah but you cant register account in carbon thats what i mean
> cant register account in carbon
I assume you mean you can't create a new account in Carbon? Assuming this is for the PC version, I also assume you bought a new EA DVD version of Carbon or Carbon Collector's Edition that includes a cd-key for install (as opposed to the Cosmi licensed distribution that doesn't include a cd-key) ? There's some type of workaround, but unless you have friends that are also playing Carbon, there's almost no chance of doing a mutli-player online event.
I go online with an old account every now and then, and I see activity on the weekly leaderboards, but almost all of it is players doing career mode events while logged in, and occasionally a few players doing ranked single player events. I did some of those ranked single player events to get onto the weekly leaderboards (often I'm the only one), which resulted in getting friend requests, but I never see those friends online, but that's mostly likely due to differences in time zone (I'm in west coast USA, not a popular time zone for racing games).
If you are interested, I'll see if I can find information about the work around, which may longer be working due to some "invalid password" issue that started around October, 2018.

I'm in the east coast Canada. My time zone is EST / EDT and I also have problems finding opponents for Multiplayer in racing games too, particularly both The Crew 1 and 2.
Both The Crew 1 and 2 are dead games when I have to play the game(s) at a certain time to find opponents for PvP lobbies. In this case, I would have to play both games in the morning or afternoon to find opponents. It will be incredibly difficult to find opponents in the evening time in my time zone (which is when east coast people are done working for the day).
I feel sorry for you. You have the worst time zone to find opponents for Multiplayer races.
But the east coast isn't better either unfortunately.
It seems the Europeans and the Russians have the best time zone from my experience in both The Crew 1 and 2. I meet a lot of them in both The Crew games, but I don't meet a lot of Canadians and Americans though.
They can easily find opponents for PvP lobbies when it is evening in their time zone.
The only racing game I played that can easily find Multiplayer lobbies at any time of day was Need For Speed World.
Back in the day, I could easily find opponents in the morning, afternoon, and evening in my time zone. I didn't have to play it at a certain time to find opponents.
Pointless post, but felt like talking about different time zones. XD
