Final Elite Server announcement! Good and bad.

Thu Sep 25, 2003 11:28 pm by Stinger

Word has come. There's good new and bad news. Decipher as you wish.

The Elite server will be operational until approximately the Friday after Thanksgiving ( 11/28?/03 ). After that, it will be taken off-line. This is over 2 months notice, which we thought was the right thing to do. It has been an absolute pleasure bringing this server to you all. I personally can not thank all the people I have come to know through being an admin of this server. We've all weathered the good time and the bad times (mostly good). We have done everything in our power to troubleshoot and maintain the integrity of the game from a server standpoint. Freelancer Multiplayer played as the game was designed has always been our "mission statement."

We do not need, nor want any thanks. If you have gotten to know the admins or chatted with them, we've always done our best to treat people fairly and with dignity. In addition, we have always considered this nothing less than a true labor of love since we all are die hard Freelancer fans ourselves. Finally, we also are well aware of the fact that without our player base, the Elite server would NEVER have been what it is today. Thanks to everyone for being a major part of one of the biggest, cleanest servers out there.

So enjoy the server for the next 2 plus months. I know I will (for a change). See you on-line!

*SPECIAL NOTE* -- With this amount of advanced notice, we have made the decision not to be involved in any character transfers to or from any other servers. Sorry, but that is something we did consider, but have opted to make a clean break and let everyone know about this WELL in advance.

Been a pleasure. Sorry to see one of the finest Freelancer servers going...guess all my money-grubbing on Elite in the past few months was all for naught.

well, i say to all those who play on Elite, come to 24/7 Proxima Dedicated, i just started playing freelancer multiplayer about two weeks ago, and if Elite is anywhere near as good as 24/7 Proxima Dedicated, then elite was a great server. anyways, Proxima has AI with regenerating shields and stuff. and missions pay more as well. someone told me they have 400k missions out in the border world systems!
proxima is supposed to have one of the best connections of all of the servers, or atleast thats what the "console" said in the game. i dont know much about that stuff. ok going to play now bye.

In the past i considered you a bad admin, out of grief of being banned, out of neo hate on the past, but while exiled on elite i tried other servers, supposedly good alternatives to elite, only one (seattle) could be compared to elite, i met really bad admins, unworthy to bear the admin title, when i recently got back to elite i felt safe there, no need to be afraid of bad admin policies, no need to expect the worse, i could play freely without the admin meddling in my way, and that i apreciate, yes elite had some flaws, nothings perfect but, its nº1, thats what matters, good luck on the future stinger and my complements for the fine job done

ROFL@ carminamish
Proxima = NEO server Sput and Tas are admin there

MAYBE it's interesting for the people maybe not =)

That's an amusing rumor, but if you go back a few months you'll recall that a similar rumor was started about one of my members being the admin of Elite (Mad_Dog) and that one was no more true than this one. Just because a couple of us play there doesn't mean we're the admins.

I have played on Proxima for about hmm... a month i gues.. or 3 weeks... anywho.. i can assure you tas and sput arent the admins... if they were i would have already been banned (hated by NEO).. so go tell your lil freind who told you that that he is full of ****... have a nice day

Fri Sep 26, 2003 8:15 am by Mad Dog

Oh god not again, we (NEO) do not admin, mod, govern any server around, so please stop spreading these lies.

I took the care of checking where nope was located via his email, and found out his email is hosted on a neo-nazi supporter site on germany, http://www.hab-keine.de your credibility is kinda burned, and people like you should not be allowed to be on the internet, this isnt a brown coat meeting where you can get here and simply try to ruin things just for fun, i dont know who the proxima admin is nor do i care, the matter is, hes doing a good job, and people like you destroy everything, servers, even threads like this one, where you posted something that had nothing to do with the matter being talked over, cowardly knowing that whatever you posted here wouldnt be locked due to the thread nature, get a life pls, and i dont want to see another post here from the kinds of you

Fri Sep 26, 2003 8:25 am by WarDragon

OMG A NAZI?!?!?! omg...lame.. jesus a supporter of the nazi's? do we need to say anything more?

Fri Sep 26, 2003 8:36 am by Griffon_26

correction Wardragon: The leader of Australia, the prime minister, is too dumb to play games at the level Sputnik does.

I should know, I'm an Aussie

Fri Sep 26, 2003 9:08 am by WarDragon

atleast he knows how to turn a computer on...which i cant say for my leader (the prime minister of canada)

So long Stinger. I guess I could care less about Elite going down, but I did have fun there (when NEOs weren't busy feeding me Cannonballs). But I have one concern: If Elite goes down, and numerous other servers have ALREADY gone down, how long will Freelancer itself last? My prediction is that, if many good servers CANNOT be maintained for more than a few months, I have very little hope that this game will last more than a year or two.
