Greetings TruckersMP Community! This year we are celebrating a milestone like no other! TruckersMP is turning ten years old, and we are unpacking a great deal of festivities to celebrate ten years of incredible journeys! TruckersMP first opened its doors to the public on May 1st 2014, meaning we’re now looking forward to celebrating a decade of trucking with #TMP10. Over the span of TruckersMP’s existence, we have seen huge developments and changes, as well as immense growth and support from the community. Fast-forward to this past year; TruckersMP has achieved the milestone of 5 million registrations!. Next to that we have hosted several awesome convoy and delivery events for the community, such as the Easter Egg Hunt, TruckersMP Tournament 2023, Fruity Freight Fiesta, Featured Zone, Halloween Winter Island and the Christmas Convoy. We have also introduced a vast amount of new features and improvements to improve your experience, such as the New TruckersMP Trailers, a New Chat System and IME Support. Besides that we have actively listened to your feedback and also gave you updates regarding the project. We did a Feedback February, gave a Project Update, held a Community Survey, provided insight to the Dev Framework, but also an update to our Game Moderations Strategy. Lastly, we have recapped the year, providing you the year of 2023 in data. Some important figures were that we have had 36 052 average daily unique players, 384 998 new registrations, and 3 441 community events. For more insight into 2023, take a look at this blog post. With celebrating this milestone, it’s great to look back and see how awesome our community is, and what we have accomplished together. For that reason, it is important to come together and celebrate the success of TruckersMP on this special anniversary. Show your support by wearing #TMP10 in your player tag To celebrate TruckersMP turning 10, we are hosting a party and everyone’s invited! Want the details? Well, get your party hats and poppers ready. Thursday 18th April 2024 We need your help in ensuring that everything is ready in time for the big party! Can you help us deliver all the equipment we need to ensure that the celebrations go with a big bang? You will need to deliver ten pieces (can be combined with the pack down event) of festival equipment to the event location, Milestone Bay, in order to receive the achievement. You have one week, so until Thursday the 25th of April to participate! Don’t worry if you cannot complete all the deliveries though, as you have from Monday the 29th of April until Monday the 6th of May to finish them with the packing down event. Look under the ‘’Monday 29 April 2024’’ section for more info! Friday 26 April 2024 The festival will once again make its return to kick off the weekend in style. We recommend bringing your best pair of dancing shoes, along with lots of food and drinks 😉 Like the past few years, we are partnering again with TruckersFM to bring you a one of a kind 5-hour Festival! Milestone Bay will be opening its doors to bring you this one of a kind event. This is an island like no other…the festival grounds will be located on a huge site next to the race track where our TruckersMP Tournament was located last year. But that’s not all! The island also includes a spectacular custom stage, lots of party decorations, a custom dragstrip, dirt track, race track and most importantly: great music broadcasted to you LIVE from the TruckersFM studio. To get to Milestone Bay, you will need to catch the train from TruckersMP HQ. The festival will be open on Friday 26th April between the hours of 17:00 – 22:00 UTC. Alternative Timezones: https://notime.zone/NuokJOWu4BfAT Server: TruckersMP10 – Festival Event Link: https://truckersmp.com/events/21853 The Festival Server will be non-collision so that it is easy for you to get around and meet other awesome members of the community. Everyone is welcome! Saturday 27 April 2024 The celebrations don’t stop there, as we’re heading onto ATS for a convoy!

TMP10 Freeroam It’s not a TruckersMP anniversary without this server opening up! The ‘Freeroam’ server is back again for another year. If you celebrated with us last year, you may remember we released a unique server in which the community could play online in a ‘sandbox’ environment. It was a massive success, and once again as a thank you to the community, we will be reopening it again exclusively for our TMP10 celebrations. So what’s so special about this server? On our TMP10 Freeroam [No Road Rules] server, players will be granted access to our staff-exclusive Police car! And, to ensure you can enjoy the experience with reduced restrictions, the server will have no road rules enforced, but with the player collisions ON. As well as all of this, our very own Milestone Bay Island will be available on the European server to race your friends or even go head to head on the dragstrip. The servers will be available on both ETS2, exclusively between Monday 29th April – Sunday 19th May. Click here for TMP10 Freeroam server rules! Patron Gifts For our Master Trucker Patrons, we have something special planned! We will be sending a total of 500 gifts (while the supply lasts) as part of the TMP10 celebrations. You will receive a letter and five awesome TruckersMP stickers! You can order this between April 18th and April 28th, while supply lasts. Follow these steps to complete your order correctly: Head over to the TruckersMP merchandise store section for Patrons Sign in with an active Patreon account (Master Trucker) Add ‘’TMP10 Gift for Patrons’’ to your cart Once at checkout, it is important that you double check the shipping details The letters will be shipped at the end of April, and arrive in most places within 14 days or within a month, depending on your location. Once again, the shipment will include the letter and five stickers, shipped in a custom envelope. This offer also applies to new and existing Master Trucker Patrons! Thank you for playing, and we look forward to celebrating with you <3 -TruckersMP Team

Greetings truckers, it’s time for some egg-citing news! The TruckersMP yearly Easter Egg Hunt is back, and this time with some egg-cellent new additions that will be sure to scramble your heads. Last year, the community came together to help Haulie track down the missing Easter eggs they ordered and we were egg-static to see they found all of them! This year, we have heard some disturbing news from our partners instead – sneaky bunnies have been playing practical yolks, and trying to poach their eggs and whisk them away! Drivers have been absolutely terri-fryed, some even becoming shell-shocked, cracking under the stress and refusing to keep hauling! Remember: this is no yolking matter! The situation is getting dire with the eggs running the risk of going rotten. So, we need your help to find and locate them, before these egg-o-maniac bunnies take them away! Do you think you’re cracked up to it? The mission is simple! Our partners have informed us of the general area where the bunnies have been operating. The eggs are still located there and some of their missing trailers too! There are 6 eggs to be found: the violet, green, blue, yellow, orange and red eggs. Besides that, there are also three partner trailers that need to be found from ProMods, TruckersFM and DBus. Drivers will be with each of them, however some will be rolling around! DLC Required: None! How to play! 6 eggs and 3 partner trailers are stuck in Central Europe. Finding them is essential! If you are one of the top three players to find all 6 eggs AND 1 partner trailer the fastest, you will win a special prize! The eggs and partner trailers are represented by our Event team, with their player tag matching the colour of the egg they are hauling, e.g. ‘Yellow Egg!’, or a White coloured tag if they are hauling a partner trailer, e.g. ‘ProMods Trailer’ They will not appear on the tab menu nor the TruckersMP Map, so your only way to find them is by being vigilant, and looking out for them on your GPS! How does it work? Launch TruckersMP, select Euro Truck Simulator 2 and connect to the Easter Egg Hunt 2024 server. Prepare for the start at 15:00 UTC Click here for more time zones. and be aware that player collisions will be disabled. Meetup with your fellow egg-hunters in any city listed on the play area. Any company yard is fine. Leave your trailers in your garage, as you won’t be needing them. Remember: speed is key! You will have four hours, from 15:00 UTC – 19:00 UTC, to make your journey throughout Central Europe. The decision of which road to take is up to you. Garage travelling is permitted. When you have found an egg or a partner trailer, toggle your tab menu ON. Then take a screenshot by pressing F12, to prove you found it. You must be able to see the egg or partner trailer, as well as your tab menu in order to fully complete the find. When you have found all six eggs AND at least one partner trailer, you are eligible to submit your entry into the competition by completing our form. Prizes! Following your hard efforts hunting down the eggs, here’s what is up for grabs: Winner (first to find all the eggs and submit) – €25 Steam Gift Card 1st runner-up (second to find all the eggs and submit) – €15 Steam Gift Card 2nd runner-up (third to find all the eggs and submit) – €10 Steam Gift Card Digital gift cards will automatically convert to your local currency.

Hi truckers, It has stopped snowing, the days are getting warmer, the grass is green and the trees are starting to blossom. It can only mean one thing, spring has arrived! Even if it may not feel like it, we’ve gone full circle and it is spring once again. Where has the time gone!? All jokes aside, we’re excited to confirm that we’re working with Grimes to support the Spring Graphics/Weather mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and, for the first time, American Truck Simulator. In order to use this modification on our servers, there are a few extra steps you need to follow compared to installing mods for singleplayer. Upon the mod creators request, you will have to download this mod from a third-party website. You can find all the information in our knowledge base article here: How to install the Spring Mod? As with the various other Grimes environmental mods, this modification is optional and not required to play on any of our servers. Make sure to capture and share your best moments with us on Twitter and Instagram! We hope you have a great yet safe spring from us here at TruckersMP!

Greetings fellow truckers! Today, we are introducing a new feature that has been in the works for some time: the ability to react and comment on VTC news posts! This has been a long awaited and highly requested feature, so we are very excited that it has now been implemented. Currently, the features are only enabled for Validated and Verified VTCs. That could possibly change in the future if there is interest from the community! Below are a few pictures of how the system works and looks. Please note that the reactions seen in the GIF are not official, and were placeholder reactions used by our development team. Over the coming weeks, Community Management will be working on a new knowledge base article that gives more details about the features. For now, happy reacting and commenting!

Greetings TruckersMP Community! Ever since the complete overhaul of our chat system, our Game Developers have been hard at work improving its accessibility and adding new features. We’re therefore excited to announce new features for our chat system, now available on TruckersMP! What’s new? Our chat system now features IME (Input Method Editor) Support. That means that we now support languages that cannot be easily represented on a standard QWERTY keyboard (such as Korean, Japanese and Chinese), and support the Windows emoji picker and paste history! IME Support (Non-Latin character input) With the new IME support, Korean, Japanese and Chinese players no longer have to copy and paste over their text. You can now input that text directly into the in-game chat! Start using the new feature simply by typing using Microsoft Pinyin IME, Hangul IME, and others! Windows Emoji Picker Another new feature is the Windows emoji picker, so that you can directly put emojis into the in-game chat. Express yourself through different emojis or quickly respond to another player’s comment, the choice is yours! You can start using the emoji picker by pressing the Windows logo key + . (period). Windows Paste History Lastly, we now also support Windows paste history This way, you can easily copy and paste previous copied text, how useful is that! You can start using the paste history by pressing the Windows logo key + V. Your Feedback Matters! As with any update, your feedback is very valuable to us. We want to ensure that the new features meet your expectations and work seamlessly. Make sure to contact the Support Team if you find a bug and Community Management for suggestions and feedback. This will help us to refine and improve this update further. But that is not all! We have made a Hot Topic as an additional way of gaining feedback and opinions from our player base. Give your opinion in the Hot Topic here. The new features are ready for action. We can’t wait for you to try them out and hope you have a blast using them. Happy chatting! -TruckersMP Team
