Whats wrong with Elite??

For ELITE, i really want to join, but the server is grayed out and wont let me in, i trust this server will stay up, my friends are getting the game and i wanna find a stable, and long lasting server to play on.


Second, i KNEW this would be a problem, why did i complain about multiplayer? because i saw this coming, ok, i started a game on a server called E2, i played nearly the whole day, gathering credits, trading, buying weapons, fighting, etcetera and met a good friend on the game. After building up my char, doing a few missions, i met a few people driving HumpBacks at level 25-30. I knew that must have taken quite a bit of work. so now, i go back to play a bit more, and the server is gone, my character lost, and all those others lost their character which they worked so hard on. I dont know if it will come back, althought i sincerely doubt it, and now, this has completely discouraged me from this game, i got it 2 days ago, and every time i think about it draws me even more away. And there no you know why i complained so loudly about this, someone please tell me how to enter Elite, i love this game, but i stray from playing because im too scared my character will just be thrown away. someone, relieve me!

Elite is running the beta still and not the final retail copy of FL. But that is going to change soon.

E2 is down for maintenence, so plz have patience.

@Common54, FYI, there are a few servers out ther that have stated they will be persistent. Elite, E2, Enuo's oc3 dedicated server, Gemin and TLR-Gold have verified they will be there for the long haul. Even so, sometimes they do need to be taken down for maintenance purposed (i.e. defragging/windows updating/virus scanning/the normal routine). I understand your point, but if you create characters on those at least you know it's only a temporary setback in getting your Freelancer "fix."

Ah, thanks for the "enlightenment" if you will stinger, i hope Elite makes the change soon, at LEAST in 6 days (when full game comes out) because im still gonna buy the original (yeah, i like it that much) im thinking of making a permanent switch to elite for the rest of my freelancer days, i just hope the server can handle its said amount and still keep its preformance.

If it changes to the retail already, only the warez people will be able to play. Those with the legit beta need a place to play, and ELITE is just about to only place now

jup agree with Kahar the elite server should be beta up to the official release day, ok, maybe one day earlier make the update, so that you can test the server before the great run at it
but not much more
