I think it is still popular but I know for me atleast I do not like to play one game all the time so I drop in from time to time to keep up with the latest news but without playing I recently I really have nothing to contribute. When I finish my current games and school work then I will probabally go back to Freelancer and play around. I guess I am trying to say it is probabally a seasonal thing.

I am cold, I am fear, those who know me hate me, I am DEATH!

20 posts is alot?

I have a gmail! I have a gmail!

@BlazeME:

LOL... well in that case 20 are 20 too many.

@RocketMan:

To get back on topic, considering FL's age it's quite a surprise for me how popular it still is.

just go to the multiplayer part of the game sometime and see how many servers and players their are
several of the servers manage to keep around 20 to 30 players on almost 24/7
i agree with LXP, for a game this old its pretty amazing
but it just goes to show what a great game it really is

definitly not dying

Like I said the posting is just a seasonal thing kind of like holidays. You have a bunch at one time of the year then you slow down for a while before they pick up again.

I will never tire of the game.
Some friends convinced me to try Eve-Online.
How agonizing.
What a waste of $19.95
Part of the joy of Freelancer is the freedom of flying the ship, and the creators of Eve really have stolen the majority of their ideas from Freelancer and the Modders in the Freelancer Community.
Freelancer is a great game and will always be a favourite.
I spend $50.00 a month for cable internet, just for my TNG server.
I use DSL to play.
This game is the best.
I will shut up now.

It definetely could use a better trade system. I'm missing the old Elite days.

i had a nice lvl 54char. on a 24/7 reguler server. but i got banned due to my explicit use of profanity. but yes this game rox my sox.

@LPX: I just thought it was funny. 20 posts is barely anything, I got 1288.

@UncleKrakker: well said. So you don't recommend buying Eve Online? I already bought it but have not subscribed.

I have a gmail! I have a gmail!

Well, I downloaded it and the first month is 19.95.
But in my humble opinion, it blows!
They have taken all their ideas from this game!!!
The character ideas are theirs as far as the detail, education and such.
But, the idea of being a trader, pirate and such is taken directly from this game.
And who needs this point and click crap????
Let me guide my ship, control my weaps etc.
I won't pay for a second month of it, that is for sure.
Maybe I did not give it a fair shake, but I see that 75% of EVE was taken from Freelancer and the work of modders in the Freelancer community and I say "F" that!
Maybe I am just being a grouch because I turned 45 today, but this is the only Freelancer.
This is a quote from Bobways site advertising for EVE on-line.
"Here on EVE-On-line you will be able to play as a Freelancer, Pirate, Navy fighter or corp. member"
Sorry, but you are a "Freelancer" "Pirate" or a "Navy Fighter" on Free Freaking Lancer!!!!!
Not EVE-on line GRRRRR!
Ahhhh all better now!!!

@BlazeME: Yup, I know.

@UncleKrakker: Whoa, nearly 20 bucks is a bit steep. Did you ever try Allegiance?

The new expansion of Eve looks interesting, you can buy stations. I might subscribe for 1 month and see what I think since its only £5. But on the other hand, I already am playing CSS and will probably not play Eve at all. Well, I'll subscribe in the summer.

i dont know , I only get on to see if someone has made a torp. bomber yet.......
and to see if any new mods are out.
