End of Life: American Truck Simulator support
on April 1, 2025 at 6:06 am
This was posted April 1st 2025 as an April Fool’s joke – TruckersMP will keep supporting American Truck Simulator. Greetings Truckers! TruckersMP will be ending support for American Truck Simulator (ATS) effective immediately. The decision comes after extensive internal discussions, technical evaluations, and a bizarre incident involving a rogue AI truck that gained self-awareness and refused to follow traffic laws. Why is TruckersMP Dropping ATS? The reasons for this decision are numerous, but here are the most critical ones: 1. Overpopulation of AI Pigeons ATS recently introduced a hidden AI pigeon mechanic, which has been interfering with the physics engine. Players reported incidents of massive pigeon swarms carrying entire trucks off the road and dropping them into the Grand Canyon. Developers deemed this issue “too powerful to fix.” 2. Trucker Rebellion A faction of virtual truckers declared independence, forming the “Free Republic of 18-Wheelers.” They have refused to recognize TruckersMP authority and have started a movement demanding in-game benefits like “unlimited airhorn honks” and “free gas for all.” Negotiations broke down when their leader, Big Rig Randy, challenged TruckersMP staff to a duel at a truck stop in New Mexico. 3. Cursed Highway 51 Multiple reports from players indicated strange occurrences on Highway 51, where ghost trucks materialized, honked menacingly, and vanished into the ether. One player even claimed their truck was “abducted by extraterrestrial weigh station inspectors.” 4. Official Multiplayer is Too Friendly The new SCS Convoy Mode has been deemed “too wholesome,” with players forming polite lines at weigh stations and obeying all traffic laws. TruckersMP developers noted that the “chaotic lawlessness” of their platform was part of its charm, and ATS players becoming too well-behaved was “a sign of the apocalypse.” 5. The Final Straw: Bigfoot Incident Despite all the above challenges, TruckersMP was willing to power throughāuntil the infamous Bigfoot Convoy Massacre. Players driving through Oregon reported seeing an 8-foot-tall, hairy figure darting across the highway. Soon after, entire convoys started disappearing, with trailers left torn open and cargo scattered across the road. The developers had no choice but to shut down operations for safety reasons. What’s Next? TruckersMP has assured players that Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) will continue receiving full support. Meanwhile, players are encouraged to “keep on truckin'” – just maybe avoid any backroads at night. This decision is final. Unless, of course, a group of players successfully performs the “Trucker’s Ritual” – a secret process involving three perfectly synchronized airhorn blasts and a sacrificial offering of a hot dog at the nearest rest stop. Only then might TruckersMP reconsider. Until then, farewell ATS. You will be missed. (Unless you’re reading this on April 1st, in which case… keep your wheels rollin’ and your jokes rollin’ faster.) Thanks for your understanding, TruckersMP Team
