Petition to Microsoft/Digital Anvil

I propose we create a petition to Microsoft/Digital Anvil , for them to provide us with some kind of support. Documents, info anything that could help us extend Freelancer.

And one question...
Did the game sell bad?
Because I know that in many countrys it was a best seller

http://www.gamerstemple.com/news/0303/030394.asp
http://www.g4mers-zone.net

it won multiple awards
http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/external.asp

There are so many people interested in it
Why oh why dont they give us a little more attention .Dont they want the game to sell more? Dont they realize what a community can do if it has the support?
What about the future? Dont they realize people want more ?

It took them six years to release an unfinished game, wich only sold good right after the release date.
If MS/DA ever had any interrest in continue-ing with FL, they would have payed more attention to the post-release and provided us with much better support, like patches and add-ons wich complete the game with everything it's missing today (nebulae not showing up in some systems, baetter balanceing and such).

I'm sorry, but I don't think MS/DA are going to listen to us, no matter how hard we try.
But I'd like to try, so you certainly have my vote.

(ps, In order for this to be an actual petition, I think you need to sign your post if you wish to add your vote)

I'm with Nickless on this one.

But you've ABSOLUTELY got my vote.

Yes, it would be novel if M$ would consider their customers instead of their stockholders just once !

Has anyone ever got hold a DA email address? Especially a relevant one, like to DA support? I've never found one.

Nevertheless you have my vote. I would love to have more support on the server side.

*cough*cardamine*cough*

Its got my vote but as usual Microsoft wont listen to consumers. Actually Im beginning to wonder if Microsoft disbanded DA without telling anyone cos I havent heard anything from them recently.

Just the source code would be enough.
Would give us more to play with, the ability to modify the game engine to allow full ship control on all axis, a "team" in MP manning a battleship with one turret each, the list is endless.

So add my HELL YEAH!!! to the vote

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

Online petitions do not work. If you can get a few thousand real signatures written on paper...

You're wasting your time. I hate to sound like a know it all prat but the fact of the matter is:

1. If they thought it was a good idea they would have done it already
2. They are providing support, I know of several extremely buggy games that never recieved a single patch.
3. Patches very rarely add additional content
4. It'll be a cold day in hell before they release the FL source code
5. The game has very few bugs as is.

and I am sure that DA are hard at work planning thier next offering.
