A little story....by durifto

Many of us started playing Trackmania several years ago. More and more new players are getting on now. A bunch of us used to play on a server called Hardmaps 2008 which used to be run by blood, with tracks from him, soza and joe. There was a huge following. I myself must have played on their server alone for about 6 months. Starting up the game, I would look forward to jumping on there and improve my times. Other servers stopped existing for me. Sadly they decided that other games were taking priority and the Hardmaps trackmania server was going to go away.

With the help of a bunch of regulars, a new server was started called Hardmaps Reloaded with the same awesome tracks. Over the next several months, Hardmaps became popular again. New track designers started contributing, benji_au and gtcc to name a few. Even blood had a few new tracks that we were able to add.

One day Reloaded disappeared and no one really knows to this day what happened. A few months went by, then I came across another server that had the Hardmaps name. This third edition was aptly names Revival. Thanks to Marcchello, Hardmaps lives. Many of the old racers have found their way back. New tracks are always being added in the style and feel of the original tracks. More and more players are becoming regulars. There are a few other Hardmaps servers around all run by great people.

This is the story of how we got here.

Hardmaps Lives On!!!!
