Old Guys who never play FL

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Old Guys who never play FL

I just realized something, all you you guys who have been here forever never seem to play FL or at least not Multiplayer. I realized we all have lives outside of FL (or do we...) anyway I was just wondering why this is. By old guys I mean people like Mustang, ElectricBrain, Tachyon, zeratural, Bargib, Wizard, Eraser etc. (dont go postal on me if i didn't mention one of you "seinor" members, it doesn't mean i dont like you )

Peace through superior firepower.

I don't have the money to buy it (yet). Things are going financially bad right now. At the end of the mont I might the money to buy it. And when I do, prepare to battle me in MP

For me it´s pretty simple, I have bought Freelancer a while ago and in the meantime I have finished the SP campaign and are currently exploring the universe and trying out all the mods that are available at the moment

There are several reasons I´m not playing Freelancer in Multiplayer:

1. Currently I only have a 56 k connection (will be getting DSL soon though)
2. I´m way to busy at the moment to extensively play MP right now, due to some changes at work (they gave me more responsibilities.....and pay )
3. If everything goes right, my first child will be born somewhere around September 12, so you can understand my priorities are somewhat different from playing games. I´m currently very busy redecorating one of my bedrooms for my child (new wallpaper, a dresser, a bedstead, new curtains etc.)

For me, it's the same reason as Wiz, haven't got the money at the moment.

I'm still playing SP whenever I have the time to play.
Haven't done everything in SP yet and there are so many mods

Besides I have exams in less than 2 weeks so gaming isn't really a priority at the moment.
After my exams I have about 3 months summer break so I guess I'll find some time to try MP than.

Money again. I am confident I could fork out 60 Euro for the game, but since I won't do the game justice on my machine (Celeron600, 128mb ram, 16mb video card), I'm not going to buy the game until I get a new computer sometime next year. Who knows, I'll be getting the Gold/Collector edition with reduced price by then?

My Computer is pittyful compared to your's FF, it's a Celeron 400, 64Meg

Got the game a few days after UK release, finished SP, still exploring everything. Occasionally play MP but have a dodgy connection so its basically lag city. MP has never really been my thing. To many spotty youngsters who will never see a real woman naked mouthing off over a chat room.

I haven't really been playing anything lately, work has been bedlam for the past two months. Weve had some major changes to implement here and in melbourne, which has meant a few trips interstate and a lot of weekend work.

But all that overtime is paying to get me off 56k and onto a new snazzy 512k ADSL line and DSL router. The local telco probably won't get the line upgraded for about 3 weeks though. So hopefully i'll be able to get on one of the servers and play a few MP games reasonably soon.





I don't really run this place but I have an understanding with the people who do.

I spend what time I do have to be around FL is spent doing server admin dutys 95% of the time. In time, I'll be back playing this game more often. For now, it's let the peeps play. I doubt I'll ever uninstall this game from my hdd.

Wow this post brought out all the veterans. It's good to see you guys posting in the same thread. My eyes are beginning to tear up.

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.
