Alpha Server 24/7 Announcement

Role-Players vs Modders

We have finally found a server that seemed to be a good place for us Browclops Role-Players to move to. The Alpha Server 24/7.

No one has complained about lag until today. Heretic was on. Maybe 30 minutes later the server is down. Hip HIp Hurray for Modders. I went on Argonia-Station and everyone was telling me how they are abandoning Alpha Server because the modders have moved in. Another Hurray for the modders.

The Modders have won this battle and possibly the war on Browclops players. We have been searching diligently for a good server to move to. Now that we are so close, the modders may have destroyed it for us. I am getting tired of being a homeless Browclops player as are many otheres. I may be tagging along with DocFuglyMark and join the ranks of retired players. No server can replace Browclops.

The players that say Freelancer is just a game are technically correct. But the people playing it are real people and are spending real time. Multi-Player servers facilitate real communities. When you go in and terrorize them or bring there server down with mods, you have attacked a real community of people.

I on behalf of the Role-Playing community I am requesting that Alpha Server 24/7 be spared the modders' wrath. Role-Players can not fight you back. We have only the patch and server rules to fight you with and they have proven all but useless.

All modders please stay away from the Alpha Server 24/7. To this point you have ruined a lot of the non-modders fun. Have a conscience if you can and spare at least one server. This includes cloak detectors, speed mods, etc. No matter how innocent or harmless you may think your type of mod is, you are driving the Role-Players away.

If you refuse, then please explain why. I want to know why you can have no mercy on the non-modders and have chosen to drive them out of the game.

I want to add another point.

Attacking Modders with mods will not deter them from further abuse. They will just see the server as a new playground for mod competitions. It only provokes them. If it worked, then I would agree with it, but I don't think it works.

Hopefully we will get in contact with the admin of Alpha Server 24/7 and thus have an additional weapon against cheaters. The banning method should help a little.

Reg yes I know this, I'm at my wits end here, we find what could be a perfect place, and some bunghole tags along to screw it up.

Um how was i to know that my mods would have crashed the server. Besides the fact that i only had speed mod and cloak detector mod on.


Those mods have never crashed a server untill today.




Then again it is conceivable that someone crashed the server on purpose to frame me and make me look bad.


which is all good to me because you guys give me power over you by making me piss you off with something simple over the internet.




Simpletons.

Lame Defense. You are nothing but a spammer.

Post Wed Jul 23, 2003 7:35 am

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank this heretic guy. It's rare in this world to find people who go out of their way to ruin good things for other people. I'm so glad you take time out of your busy schedule to be so selfish and rude. Your consistent defense of server-crashing mods is overwhelming. I'm thrilled to see you put full effort into ruining a game for players like us. It's a shame we don't have more cheaters, I mean "modders", like you playing games today. Becuase if we did, then no one would play becuase they would know that somewhere lurking in the shadows there would be a cheater to ruin it for them. I've got a new ship mod for you, it's called the Short Bus. Here ends the sarcasm. And by the way, you can probably disable your cloak detector. We're just honest players trying to have a good time. We're not cloaked, we're out in the open where you can see us. It's unlikely that you'll take the time to read through this but for the real players who have intelligence, I think I speak for most of us.

It doesn't matter if you crashed the server or not. You are giulty of ruining crap for others. You should be ashamed, but you proudly boast your inconsiderate nature. What goes around comes around. I hope that someday someone ruins crap for you and the others like you. You may not be the worse, but you are the most outspoken and therefore, you get the most heat. Why don't you get some of your modder friends to say some stupid stuff along with you, to back you up. Maybe they are too intelligent and understand that you have no good points.

One little two little three little idiots....four little five little six little idiots....seven little eight little nine little idiots....ten little idiot modders ruining it for everyone!

Even betta why dont you play on a server that accepts mods, there are plenty available. hmmm hmmm

what a concept, oh but that would not be as fun cause you would actually have to face other's w/ mods. We all know u would get your cheeting self killed over and over and over and over...

enjoy

Will the real Admin of Alpha 24/7 please - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - please put a way for us to contact him.

Hail Ceasar! Leader of the Free Peoples of the Holy Roman Empire, defender to the lower ranked and faith, lover of monkies (but not those DAMN DIRTY APES!). God Save Ceasar - or the screamer behind him will! Hail Ceasar!!!

Obviously the admin is around to keep things running, I'm beginning to think this person is aware of our attempts to reach him but is trying to remain anonymous, we've seen the kind of crap Admins have to deal with, we could have already met the guy and not known it.

I was banned from Alpha server for no apparent reason at all. I didn't even get a warning? What the hell? I had so much credits and weapons collected, all that time for nothing.

I'd like an explanation, my character was JKD Red Leader and [PORN Nympho.

I'm not a cheater/modder yet I lost my account without warning.

I enjoyed being on the server even with its lag problems. If nothing else I have a reason not to play the game until the New Universe mod comes out.

Besides the fact that i only had speed mod and cloak detector mod on.


Heretic unless you are the server admin you have no idea what caused the server to crash.

Also you say time and time again that you only have this mod or that mod on. The whole point is that the RPG players want a server free of ALL mods except server-side ones.

You may think that your mod does nothing, but when they have continually asked you to not mod on the server they have chosen and you continue is very selfish. There are hundreds of servers out there that allow mods so go plague those ones. Leave the RPGers to their clean server, or become clean yourself. It is not too much to ask.
