Lets boycott multiplayer!!

I think the multiplayer in this game is rediculous! Im playing single player and progressing so much and see no point in going into multiplayer. Why should I?, so i have restart at level 1 on every new server i go into! What was microsoft thinking? I say we just stop play for a while and give microsoft a message.HEY, YOUR IDEA SUCKS AND YOU NEED TO PATCH IT. AN OFFICIAL MULTIPLAYER PATCH. THAT WOULD SOLVE THE server save only "problem" . If someone wants to spend 5 hours in a server building up there character fine. I wont be upset when they burn me if i dont play. This game could be great online if yoiu could carry your stats around servers! it would truelly show who plays and who doesnt~ thats how it should be. as for HACKING. the only thing they can do is get items faster than peps who play it naturally! this isnt neverwinter nights where you can set your strength to 5000 and blow everyone away! hacking wouldnt be a problem in this game! servers should just set parameters to what level characters are allowed! if you are higher than the max, then your denied access. GOD ITS SO SIMPLE.

DigitalAnvil made the game, not microsoft.

Whoa, it IS simple. I guess DA should have hired you to do all their MP programming.

He's right. It's perfectly simple. Let's make sure that no one beyond level 38 can enter a server, ignoring the fact that most cheaters wouldn't bother with that and go straight to the juicier things like ship invincibility, weapon stats modifications, and shield strength editing.

Think of the Multiplayer version of this game as a new version of TradeWars. Where each new game you start over.

Christ orca...quit whining. For people like you nothing will ever be good enough.

Yeah, single player sucks. BFD. Multiplayer is a blast though if you find a good server.

How about this

People with an iq of 30 and below hate multi-player.


The End.

Cripes, how can one be such a moron?

Yes lets boycott a perfectly good way of playing instead of just sticking to one server...

Good idea!

I want some of what YOU have been SMOKING!

Okay, so you are telling me that "hacking" a character to level 38, equipping it with the best of everything in the game, and then stalking and killing every HONEST player wouldn't be a problem?


THAT is why they call it "DOPE"!!!

Dont flame when you know it would make it 10x as great!

As for cheaters havent you heard of anti-hack files? Smart files that ive seen some games use. Heres the way they work. These files can tell if your game information has been altered through natural gameplay or through file manipulation. If you hack your files boosting your shields to ungodly amounts they damn game would know and should know and you shouldnt be allowed in the server. Microsoft made windows right? They have no limits to what they can do. All they need are parameters for your stats that cannot be surpassed or ACCESS DENIED. Im just a small town boy trying to be heard and dont aprecciate flammers like TACHEON OR WHATEVER. I know this is your board but accept opinions k buddy? Or I will be forced to change the name of the website to BiasBoard.com or opinionprejudice.com. Jk guyz!!!!

FYI: Freelancer is mainly a single player game. The multiplayer part is nothing more than a bonus an d a good bonus at that. They once planned to do a stand alone Freelancer multiplayer game but i don't know what happened to these plans. Besides that: feel free to boykott it anytime if yu don't like it.

Why the hell would I want to "boycott" half of a game that I enjoy playing?
