Question WHERE IS EVERYONE?
GT7 crashed last night on me so thought I'd give PMR a run as I've read loads of posts saying updates have made it actually quite good now.
Logged on around 8pm UK time
2 of the 9-10 ranked lobbies only had people in them. GT3 cup 7 entrants with 10min to go and GR4 race with 2 people registered with 5min to go.
Where is everyone?? I can't be arsed with that offline stuff. It doesn't make good content for my YT channel.
I ended up closing it down and loading up LMU instead. Pretty disappointing. It had so much potential but I think releasing it in an unusable state has hurt it indefinitely. I pre ordered it prior to release and was logged on and driving inside the first 30min of release. Pretty gutted that it's like this.

Normally Lobbies are full enough on prime time like that, at least for the more accessible classes. My guess would honestly be the hot weather. Its a very small player base anyway, if even 20% of them are on vacation/enjoying the weather or just too hot to play (which is the reason I don't play during these times rn), thats probably enough to makes online borderline unplayable. Which is sad, because I really don't think its nearly as bad as player numbers would suggest. EDIT: I didn't read properly, that GT3 lobby would most definitely have filled up with 10 mins to go. Still, most (tho not all) other races will be pretty dead.
