What clans and servers should do to keep freelancer interest

Mon Oct 20, 2003 10:30 pm by 666heretic

Have wars.

Like say on Alpha Centarui 2 server that TE controls cosair space, say USLF (which is deaD) controls rheinland. another clan controls kusari. another controls bretonia. Liberty can be controlled but not NY. Have wars like invade each other and such and make or break alliances. I think it would be interesting. Basiclly like Role-Playing a game of Diplomacy or something. Or Role-playing the real world on Freelancer.

Ya if you like playing alone, sorry to say, server has been kind of empty of late.

The better thing to do is probably to organise some mass dueling events or something like that. Having silly wars will just end up with a lot of forum flame like the Elite server.

The server I play on is quite full a lot of the time, but everybody minds their own business and there is very little cooperative play, which defeats the whole purpose of MP.

CW I don't care about your negativity about my opinion. It's my opinion and if you don't like it you don't have to post or comment. I know the potential negative consequences. But the positive ones will be like Fleet STrategies, new fighting tactics, etc...

So mr. cw, you don't like soemthing, don't comment on it. Don't look like an ass, leave that to me.

Um, I like fox and hare type things, chase someone around a system, or across Sirius, it's all good. Umm, bounties are always fun; there's nothing better than *actually* having the whole galaxy against you. Randomly dock camping someone everyone once in a while, for no reason stirs things up. Makes pent up tension, so you can have some posse running around trying to mow you down. That's just me, and I haven't even played FL in a while, soo...

I hate to break it to you guys but freelancer is dead hardly anyone plays anymore all the good skillfull clans have left and moved on to different games maybe you guys should do the same insted of trying to save a dead game (which is an admeriable thing to do because it's 1 of the best games ever but none the less it's over)i recomend Jedi Academy if your into the clan thing....it's a very very good game for clans and for all the guys that like the dueling aspect of freelancer Jedi Academy has a bulit in duel mode where u can hit a key and challange a guy to a duel which i think is great ...so there will be nomore "omg wtf i wasnt rdy" kinda dules like there were ALOT of in freelancer..

i dont know this is just my opnion of course

bai

FL will never totally die, not even if FL2 comes out. I still play UT long after UT2003. FL is my perfect game:
a large universe, lotsa ships (some I haven't even flown yet) and more guns & stuff than you can shake a stick at.

I wonder how many players are like me: MP but squirreling away all those nifty mods for when the MP community is empty.
Which it isn't, Topserver count is 905 players on 442 servers, on 10/20/2003 1:19:21 PM

EDIT: Bottom line- Everyone migrates from game to game at their own pace.
#1 for me is a game's replay value, quality, and genre. FL gets 'A' in all these in my book.

You guys think freelancer is dead because you're bored doing cargo runs all day.

THIS GOD DAMN GAME HASNT EVEN BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR AND YOU'RE CALLING IT QUITS.

that's what i call pathetic.

Heretic, stop flaming people. If they want to leave FL then it's their choice. What are you going to do if they stop playing? flame them? not gonna work. Chill down before you get a heart attack. We want people to play FL and enjoy themselves. If they stop enjoying it, then they should stop. It's none of your business what they should like or not, so stop ordering them around. The rest of us still enjoy FL - good! then let US enjoy the game.

Yeah FF i realize that, but still that's all i hear now that FL is dead. Why should they post it on an FL forum?

So you see, the problem is not those who quit - the real problem is just those negative-minded trolls who post these pessimistic posts. Well noone likes trolls, but just ignore them, getting you heated up is actually letting them win.

Yeah Heretic, I remember the days when as a Roughneck allied with NEO we were getting into battles every time we logged on to Elite. It was quite a rush! It's not happening as much nowadays except in scripted (RPG) servers. You never know though, NEO occasionally plays on my server as well as some old allies and the amount of clans considering my server is rising.

I agree there is a lot to FL but even then a point will be reached when you've seen it all and done it all. I have found my interest now is in the poeple that play the game. And of course each person is unique and promise endless variety!

Hi fearsome Fear Factor!
