RRJDS Guild Server

Firstly, thanks for this facility. I only now just realised our server was not listed here!

The most important thing about our server is not the Freelancer mod that we are running.

It is our group of friends.

The Guild was founded more than 6 years ago by beta testers of Freelancer, to add interest to the game by founding and working for the Guild, building wealth for the Guild on plain Freelancer, by trading, exploring and selling information to players, by buccaneering (gentlemanly piracy with reasonable demands for loot), by looting NPCs for weapons and equipment and selling those, and by commissions from other players as escorts, mercenaries or tutors, or payment for fixing reputations with desired factions.

The Guild also lent money from its banks, at reasonable interest rates. An important and often-needed role of members was that of Enforcer, peace-keeping or justice-handouts for non-payment of moneys owed to the Guild or for attacks on players or for breach of Guild rules.

At the moment we are running our own mod, the RRJDS 2.82 Mod, currently at Release 3.

This mod addressed several player requests - easier traderoutes, bigger mission payouts, bigger ships, proportional ship sizes and cargo capacities, badder weapons, tougher hulls and shields, tougher NPCs, more challenges, a combat training system, a jousting system for clan wars, new surprises, and more.

There are also restart templates for groups of friends to be in the same ship and almost any faction at the outset, and a Fugitive template for those desiring more of a challenge.

For the new player, there is the challenge of starting in a shuttle with 4 passengers to take safely to New Berlin. For those who enjoy this sort of trade, there are larger passenger transports and passengers in many systems who wish to go to dangerous places or via dangerous routes, who must pay larger fares.

And for those who fear no-one and nothing, there is The Prophecy!

See our website to see who we are and what we believe in.

Then join us, even briefly, and see if you like us.

If you like us or do not like us, tell us your feelings. If you like us enough, apply to become a Guild Member and help mentor other players in our method of gaming.

Thanks.

PS: RRJDS Guild = Reputation Repair & Judicial Distribution Specialists Guild.
From the good old bad old days when we repaired reps and handed out justice almost every day.

More appropriate now, more in line with what’s happening on our server!

Hey pals.

We now have 3 FL sessions running on our server, we need to check on its stability before upstaging to serious hosting of 3 mods in parallel.

We are running:-

Session 1: Plain Freelancer 1.1
Session 2: RRJDS 2.82r3 http://downloads.rrjds.com/RRJDS282ModR3.zip.flmod
Session 3: TNG 2.76 http://downloads.rrjds.com/archive/Tng276Final.zip.flmod

All server names start with " RRJDS… "

Please connect whenever you can, play around for a while so we can get the player count up and tell us if you have problems such as lag or connection?

Thanks!

No need, they show in the Servers List as normal, they all have the GLS Workaround patch.

But if you want to Direct connect here they are (but could change):

Plain FL 1.1: 209.25.178.120:2312
RRJDS 2.82r3 209.25.178.120:2322
TNG 2.76: 209.25.178.120:2332

Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

Sad to report…

Another one bites the dust.

Our graciously donated server was finally taken offline by our hosts, they gave it to us free of charge for more than a year after it was to be taken down, and we thank them considerably.

The Guild itself melted away more than 2 years ago, so this is the end of a fun era. We’re now 8 years older and… none the wiser!

The mod itself is still on our web server at http://downloads.rrjds.com if anyone would like it please go ahead and download a copy while it’s still there, it will be a pleasure to see one running again at some point.

It’s not perfect, the ship sur problems in it are many but I had no time to generate new ones, which is so easy to do now with the nice utilities available thanks to Schmack and… um… you know… Thanks so much for those, guys, just wish they had come along a few months earlier.

So - it’s good bye from me, other than passing by now and then to see who is still around.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out in the long distant past, and I hope some of my words were useful too.

Bon chance! and au revoir!
