NOOOO!!!

I can't stand all this talk about deth to FL.

If mechwarrior 4(made by Microsoft) is still running servers this game will be around for a while. I'm gettin homworld 2 on my way home. But I will not put this game on the shelf. It a great game. It's not even a year old and people are talking Deth. WTF shut up. We don't need this talk. I'll except this rambling about a year from now, but 7 or so months into this games life? PLease. If you don't freak it(means play it for hours) all the time you won't get burnned out so fast.

(Sighes) Sorry for the rant. It gets me all stirred up to see people already ready for FL 2, and talkin about FL going down the drain. It hasn't even been a YEAR!!!!

It's a problem with humanity these days. Consume, consume, want, want, more, more, more. Ugh!

This thread brought out the ugly in me today.

If games like Starcraft and Counterstrike are still popular, then Freelancer will last for at least 5 more years if not more.

It's still relatively new (to the general public), give it time.


For the Coalition!!

Well, all games don't last forever.
I guess it will last for about 5 years...
Freelancer isn't released in some countries such as Korea.
It's sold only in some countries which means this game won't last longer than Starcraft or Warcraft.
Just my opinion. I'm not an expert!

For all of you out there saying mods will save this game, I hope you are joking, i have played most of the mods and see a re-occuring theme, rediculous top level ships, such as the shadow in the TNG mod, that was absolute crap. the games are always so unweighted.

If any modders out there here this, to make a proper mod keep the orginal universe then add things system by system ship by ship and gun by gun to what free lancer already has, then test it and MAKE sure it works 100% before you update the mod, also don't go tell everyone there is new stuff let them discover it them selves.

Also with the ship mods, keep a theme, not starwars, bablon5, my mums volvo and a fedex ship all crammed into one mod.

And i don't know id anyone has tried this yet but the problem with having to erase accounts everytime the mod is changed, can't we get some resolution on this with the program to be able to adjust all players stats, for exaple if you add a new system you may have to re-start everyone back on planet manhatten, or you may have to realod peoples ships due to chnages in them.

No offence but ATM there is no mod even the slightest bit close to being able to save FL.

Look, all you have to do before downloading the mod is check the description. If the content does not suit your taste, do not download it. And since they are mostly free, I don't think you have the right to bash them. If they are so terrible, write your own mod, post it and the rest of us can praise it These modders dedicate time and sweat for no reward at all, other than rights to brag.

You are entitled to your opinion, but do not state your opinion as FACTS, as if your opinion supercedes all other opinions.

get 'em Factor.

I have confidence that dis here game will last. My other post was a bit harsh, but at the end of a 10hr. work day and then reading a thread about FL and how long it will last, just rubbed me the wrong way. Oh, I bought HW2 yesterday, guess what.............I played FL, and didn't even take HW2 out of the box. I will probly let it sit for a bit. I'm to into FL right now. I can't stop thinking about all the things that I want to do in FL. Online is really fun. I hire escorts, run with thugs, give myself a bad rep. in some systems(kill a trade lane, then jump the ships that come through)heh.

I think it will last LONG, as new MOD's come out a lot . It will always have its place in my heart... erm, "gamebox". (Have a box that fit DVD games-box blah blah).
