Good News!
The Server Forum is back online!
Bad News (sorta)!
I did server maintenance but for some reason the server didn’t go back online after re-boot.
Good News!
That’s been fixed, it’s back online now.
The web page is still stale and that issue isn’t resolved.

Wow, how did I miss this?
Hi Frobozz - long time no see 
I didn’t know anyone still ran Evo
I will have to stop by shortly I’ve got 1.30 and 129.17 (the last beta) on the site http://artificiallyintelligent.co.uk/freelancer but can’t remember 1.28 so well - for stability that is.
Hey Chips!!! How’s it going? Long time no see indeed!
Ya, I changed the server from stock to Evo when I started hosting it, such fond memories…
I picked 1.28 partly because that is what we ran on our original 2nd FL server (stock was on the other), but also it was very convenient that Starport hosts the client so people can get it here easy.
If Starport hosted newer versions, I’d be happy to upgrade.

You should post the news about this gaming community in our news section: http://the-starport.net/freelancer/news/submit.php

Install patch 1.1, that fixes it. Also, you could’ve made a separate post
Also, waves at Frobozz. It’s indeed been a very long time!
Glad to see Lansdale is still kicking

I’ll submit the versions here shortly - got to download them again, and maybe if i’ve got a spare min or two have a lil tweak whistles to ensure no huge crashes… I made a shed load of changes a year or so back and forgot to upload it (overhauled Romanov) - and then during an upgrade to Win 7 forgot to back it up so lost it

That’s not already part of Evo like it is with newer mods.
Alternatively, you could direct-connect by IP. -

Grrrrr……
Looking forward to trying out the new stuff, awesome!

Well, the end has come at last. Not too surprising, it’s been a one-man show this past year. Sure, players have trickled on and off the server, but only a few have posted on the forum. At one time, I could have built it back up, but now the forum is gone and the link to what we once were is severed.
The guy hosting the server forum has not renewed the domain name, and now the forum is gone for good. The web page, I can’t get in contact with who’s hosting that either, so can’t update server news.
I’ve shut down the server. It was time, I guess. I now can be found exclusively on Top Freelancers server, beta testing their new mod.

Did you try to contact your hoster?
http://vitzo.com/en/whois/ottobohn.com
I don’t know if the phone number is correct, though.
Also, there is an e-mail adress left behind.
-
I saw that one too. I am not sure about the phone number, but the e-mail adress might be correct if you compare it to the domain name.
-
The email is of a different guy who’s been out of FL for years. He used to host the game server, a duty that I took over long ago.
The guy who ran the forum, I have no contacts for.
I will hold off wipe/repurpose of game server for a couple of months, see what I can do, but I don’t have a whole lotta hope.
