Review of 2023 and Happy Holidays!

XxSARGExX

Greetings Everyone

a lot has happened in the Starport community this year and I would like to give a little look back at 2023 from the general community’s perspective.

But before that, I would like to add something personal to this post because compared to many others in the freelancer community, I am a relative newcomer and have only been part of the Starport event management team since the beginning of the year. I talked to a lot of Admins, Developers, Modders, and old Veterans to understand what the situation was at the beginning of the year. Community is more than just some People open up a Discord where people join. In my personal opinion community means that people coming together from all over the world with the same passion for a topic, helping each other out, playing together, or just enjoying talking with others about their favorite topic. In 2023 we worked a lot to achieve this goal and made the game a talking point for many again.

Some Details:

We had an awesome 20th Anniversary with a lot of Streams, Play Together Events, and Showcases
Freelancer Galactic Community was renamed to The Starport
The Regulancer Event has started and made it to season 8 with lots of cool events (more later)
Homelancer Discord opened up
Frontierspace Discord opened up
The new Starport Website went online

Every single Point on this list has had and continues to have a major impact on the future of this growing community.

not to turn it into a novel, I will just let you know what my personal favorite was this year if I had to pick one, and that’s the 20th anniversary, You saw a lot of passion and joy, even some love for the game and that’s what makes a community so great. it’s about nothing else.

I think I speak for the whole staff if im wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

We look back on the year with joy but are also preparing for the future with fresh ideas and the goal of further bringing the community together.

freely after known words.

Let us together grow, prosper and flourish!
