For all Europeans, ecspecially with non-english native langu

I am thinking about to order me a copy of "Freelancer" in US for two reasons :
1. I get it a month earlier and
2. I get english language.

Since I played the german version of "Starlancer", I havent seen a more worse
nightmare. All the dialogs had such a bad accent. It made the whole game so riduculous. I guess they took german speakers and tell them to speak like british or americans.

Who will order also in the USA? Does anyone know a reliable source, which ships it goods also to europe. Credit Card is not a problem.

Rest assure that Jörg Neumann will NOT allow that to happen again!

I wanted to order in UK too, but UK has the same Release date like whole europe :
its 18 of April, I dont want to wait till then.

Well, Jörg Neumann is a german, but I dont know if he has influence on the german version.
And at least its an unwritten law, that the original version is always better than
a translated version.

Anyone knows a reliable US company which ships to The Netherlands? It´s a win-win situation for me. I´ll get FL earlier and it´ll cost me less when I buy it here because of the current valuta rate.

Are you serious.. Do developers actually translate games in France, Germany etc. to the native language???

The don't do that in Denmark.. And often they don't even translate manuals etc.. And thats just fine with me...

Is there such a thing like a reliable US company ?

Anyway, here in The Netherlands you always get the game with original (english) speech, so I don't have to order a US version for only that purpose. I could buy a US version because it would (if everything goes well with the shipping that is) arrive earlier than it would be released here. But frankly, I can wait a tad longer and just buy it in the store

I actually imagined that TLR would sell it on-site and harvest some financial support, but I can see that it would probably bring lots of trouble too..

I guess it depends of the population of the country whether the game is translated in other languages.
If you have translated it in german you can sell it in germany, austria and some parts of switzerland.
Some users like having the games in their language.
Its the same with movies. Matrix is much better in english than in german, so its the same with Lords of the rings.

As luck has it i have been doing some searching and have come up with this site
http://www.interactcd.com/
I allready mailed them and they will have the game.
Shipping is 10$ air mail

Looks sweet to me. Perhaps we can get a group price? Think about it.

Checked the site, sure enough FL uis listed there, price 45$, arrival date is 10/3

i can live with 4 extra days

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Hee gasten, misschien even een groep inkoop doen naar nederland?
Ik MOET hem namelijk ook zo snel mogelijk hebben!

Gaan jullie ook allemaal eigen servers opzetten?
En misschien even een mailinglist maken zodat we secrets e.d. kunnen uitwisselen?

update: waarschijnlijk al 5 mensen die hem gaan kopen in de US

[translated for the non-dutch people
Hee guys, maybe we can do a group-buy for the netherlands?
Because i also have to have it is quick as possible

Are you setting up servers all also?
And maybe we can setup a mailinglist so we can share secrets etc.?

Well, you will find directions to secrets here I think
And I think my connection isn't good enough for setting up a server.

Post Thu Feb 06, 2003 3:08 pm

Oh! I´m setting up a server, will have 10Mbit in my new apartment! (no I didn´t move because of the connection)
1Gb DDR and Raid0 disks, hope this will be enough for a major galaxy!

But the ultimate killer will be me!! 5.1 surround and a projected screen for 80" I will be able to hear and see you everywhere! Wohahaha <---- just went crazy
