Игра интересная, хоть и с багами. Но баги можно простить, так как игра всё ещё официально не релизнулась

Game is OK, no doubt, but what's the point of adding it in Steam without Steam payment?

Игра чёткая, спору нет, но зачем добавлять игру в Стим без поддержки платежей через Стим? Актуальненько для России

On August 1, 2024 Dev Blog came out with announcement of plans to end Global service (service in the West).
Someone of those who know me can say, I am in the East. But for Nexon I am in the West.

I have already expierenced this twice since I know KartRider.
1st time in 2012 when they closed my domestic client (Russian KR). 0 ads of this game in the web, 0 support from Nexon, 0 nothing. Updates every 2 weeks.

2nd time in 2022, when [redacted] happened nearby and some companies decided to punish innocent people and restricted the game in my country. After a month of playing with some tricks during Pre-season my account was banned by Nexon. I almost lost hope and wanted to abandon this game.

Later we discovered new way, and I didn't share with this trick with anyone. I played this game ever since. Nexon made almost impossible for me to play, but I fought for the right to play.

And today, on August 1, 2024, 1 day before my birthday, Nexon decided to give me a gift for it and announced once again about end of service. Yes, once again. During RKR's time I played on Thailand server and it shut down in RKR lifespan. Vietnam version of KR, BoomSpeed, was shut down in the early days of RKR. On our server there were a lot of "refugees" from North American KR. I discovered that NAKR was shut down before even release. Then Indonesia, Japan. Then Taiwan. Korea. Drift?

My country and 2 neighbour countries, including China were banned from entering KRD, and as I mentioned before, we fought for right to play. China is a weird choice to ban, they could easily boost player base 2 or even 3 times. That was easy way. But they choose wrong in all meanings way.

We still don't know, will they just close European and 2 North American servers and we can play with other players with huge ping, but still can play, or will they just spit on us and forget about us, remove game from Steam and Global Nexon Launcher, and ban all players.

May be better was to not invent bycicle, release game in Korea and Taiwan and then, after game is polished and without bugs, release it globally? It was pain to play, but game was improving. But it was too late, because new players saw game with bugs and without content and never came back, even with good last Pirate Update with lots of content.

Hope, you will change your mind.

Thank you for your attention.
