After all these years, today totalling a whopping number of 8, it almost seems like waiting for this particular day has become some kind of tradition amongst our most loyal community members. Expectations are growing with each year and our goal is to fulfill, ideally, even exceed those. Before we start off with the ton of amazing news we have, we would like to pledge some kind of toast - just like serious old people do on their 50th birthday (yeah, that's how old FFS feels by now).
Players come and go and sometimes so do our Members or even Leaders. Today, FFS Gaming is the result of contributions from various people around the world, some of which are not part of this Community anymore. Kudos and Thanks to everyone who participated over the years and made this project what it is today. Mentioning particular names would be kind of unfair, as technically everyone deserves to be mentioned and this post would otherwise include nothing but a huge list of names.
With that said - Skol!
<i class="fa fa-gift"></i> Gifts & Server Updates
Now comes the fun part that probably matters most to our average, yet beloved, player. In accordance to our previous birthdays we are giving 8 days of Free Premium to everyone. To make it even better we are adding Free Auto-B and a 2x Bonus on Cash & Points for a limited time. Happy grinding!
*Only in-game Premium features, only for registered users
Along comes a set of notable changes to the server which can be considered gifts, as well:
| General |
Non-English is now allowed in Arena Chats to open up for regions where English is less commonly spoken (Global Chat remains English-only) |
| General |
Fixed glitchy Caddy handling (Credits to Renkon) |
| DM |
Added No-Delay to remove the handicap of players with high pings when beating toptimes (to be added in more arenas) |
| Auto-B |
Increased Cashback to 50% so the whole price will be refunded with Premium |
| Forum |
Fixed user profiles with many subscribers taking very long time to load |
<i class="fa fa-picture-o"></i> New Lobby Icons
An amazing job has been done by our Designer & Modeller <span class="devffs">KingOfSpeed</span> to freshen up the Lobby of our now exactly 6 years old Multigamemode which not only revolutionized Racing, but also MTA as a whole - realizing what many deemed as straight up impossible. Yes, we are basically celebrating 2 birthdays in such a short time span! Now, look at these sick customly rendered icons:

Compare to how it looked like 6 years ago!
<i class="fa fa-futbol-o"></i> TRON Stadium
And if that was not enough to impress you yet, we are also adding a whole new and customly modelled Tron Stadium bringing you some vibes from a different reality to CarBall. Who else if not <span class="devffs">KingOfSpeed</span> created this masterpiece which also brings a whole different playstyle to CarBall due to the smoothened walls around it.

<i class="fa fa-car"></i> Lucky 7 Outcome
Congratulations go to Nitrous Racing for winning Season 3 of our clan-based WFF league. They literally whipped out The Baguette onto the field and smashed up everyone else with it. Even a portion of DOS was unable to stop them from winning with an impressive score of 323 - 237 (+86) while being tied with Xtreme pro Racers and Seventh Miracle at 9 Points.

<i class="fa fa-car"></i> Lucky 7 Season 4
Season 3 may be over, but Lucky 7 is not - quiet the contrary - Season 4 is in fact the start to a new era in competitive Racing.
Whether it be the record of 277 contestants at Who Finishes First 17 or the fact of Lucky 7 being the first successful clan-based WFF league - we are constantly pushing the competitive scene forward. The amount of Tournaments and Events around the competitive Racing scene is steadily increasing while the quality of each tournament is also improving without a doubt. Today, we are taking Lucky 7 to a whole new level with Season 4 using a mix of fundamental rule changes and adding our largest ever Prize Pool in actual cash.
| Season 4 will introduce an all-new approach towards its participating clans. To reduce the effect of frequent clan switching or even whole roster swaps, each team will have to provide a list of 15 contestants prior to the tourney. Those rosters will be locked for the duration of the Season, despite a small window for mid-season roster changes. This new rule will be strictly enforced using various checks for Serial number and other indentifiers. Ideally, this approach will help increase loyalty of contestants towards their clan. Participating clans should now be way more careful when recruiting players known for "clanhopping". |

It took us a while, but we finally managed to finish our Mapping Contest we started months ago.
