Names that you should just think about before you create it and log in to a server
I_Crash_you
Virus

Handles in general are not bad, just don't create ones that scream that you might be trying to do something to my server. Like ohh, make a new Virus that propagates using FLServer

If people saw the thousands of names i do leave on my server, they would realize that I am not as strict as a few people make it sound.

Nah you're sound , anyone who hosts a server for people has to be , but hey its like the human condition to be pissed off by things outside our control.

Tell me , from what I hear you Server is gettig better and better , now I'm considering deleting my MPAccount , (LOSING ALL OTHER CHARACTERS) , but are you gonna format the server? should I prehaps wait?

There is a way to just delete that character and not ban the account. You just go to the menu item :edit, then :accounts, then select the character and click delete character. I think that this is a better option than banning the character if the name is the only offense. Just a thought

MinceMeat=LB=LRRP[

I can only also find Documents -> My Games -> Freelancer -> Accts -> SinglePlayer

given that player data is stored on the server , may Multiplayer only pertain to the accounts stored on the server?

And if so how the hell do you delete your own without uninstalling the game?

<-- Insert Big F off picture here-->

So if I use the GUI to delete a character it can take me upwards of 15 minutes to locate one name to delete

If I use some other tools I have to delete a character, it can still take 5 - 10 minutes to locate the character to delete

If I use my telnet client and character name to ban, it take 10 seconds.

Once they add a delete option for the telnet client, I will use that instead

I will probably be uping the character limit tonight to 100 players as part of my new connection coming online.

I do not have plans for a server wipe until I impliment my mod that is in development. Then I will server wipe. That is at least 2 - 4 weeks out. So don't fret.

I hope to have the first beta server up this weekend for some chosen few. (mostly real life friends) to test out. As the mod is built I will be updating that and sending them new builds directly. This will most definatlely take a while. But the changes I am making should please most players. It will greatly enhance the game for high level players, giving them more to do and new things to do. It will also extend the life of your characters as it will take a lot longer to progress in the game. This is to allow time for guilds/factions/kingdoms to band together and wage "wars" ect...

Also by having slower progression, I will be able to locate cheaters that much easier. Now if you jump 10 ranks in one night, something is very suspicious

still waiting on how to make a new account

those modifications sound great genedefect! this game seriously needs to be toned down in advancement. too bad though that changes just can't be made on the server, and then when a player connects those new rules (the mod) gets downloaded and take into effect right away.

wait, i have made a crap load of progress on the server and u have plans to wipe it? why should anyone bother staying then? lol. oh, and i gained a crap load of lvls earlier, someone blew up heavy cargo ships next to the manhatten dock rings - loot, land, sell, repeat. made a good 170k this way in 5 min.

server seems to be down, 17:30 PST (4/18/03). I can't even get a ping reply from the server IP.

is this due to the switching of the line?

For the past 15 min, I have been unable to join the server. I have been on it much of the day and it is usually very populated with players, but now I am unable to join and the player count is ultra low...

edit - ditto to the ping comment, i am getting nothing. odd, player count is showing 3-7 players still... *_*
