Thoughts regarding the Microsoft Matchmaking server
-
Quick question - who got the starport link up on the Microsoft site?
It MAY be worth asking another question of themOn the front page of MS’s Freelancer page:
Message from Microsoft Games Support
Microsoft Game Studios has made the decision to retire player matchmaking services for Freelancer. We are proud to have hosted these services and would like to personally thank you for being loyal to our games. You will still be able to play your games and create matches within your game; however, matches will no longer be hosted by Microsoft Game Studios.My thought - asking if they would be willing to add an additional few lines - something like:
The Freelancer community has provided a solution for matchmaking services to allow players to find servers online. This solution is not condoned by Microsoft, but is available through xxxxx
In other words, having a link to the location describing and giving the GLS work around. Whether it is here, or elsewhere.
Is it worth a shot if someone has been in successful contact before Just a thought
-
Whoever has the contact email (cheese, still got something working?) could ask them. Worth a shot indeed.

i remember this building - always light on in the offices till late in the evening
I once had a phone call with one of the M$ guys - he sounded interested but nothing has happened. Gonna believe its hard to achieve anything like this. But good luck to the one who has success!

It was me Chips, I will see if I can work anything, should’nt be too hard as I have a direct e-mail to one of the people who maintains that sort of thing, calls im self Brad so woohoo!

No worries I’ll let you guys know how it goes

Now you’ve attracted the StarTrader for sure. -_-
I really hope this works though… Let’s hope that guy still works there.

Hi Gary, Bradley here
Wouldn’t be a problem for me to update that, but I will need to run this by our legal team since they crafted that current message. Hopefully they won’t have any issues with your addendum.
Cheers
Woohoo progress is good! Hopefully they can pull through =]

I don’t like “official jargon”, it’s made me want to sleep and feels like take to mechanical thing. I hope all of those people can reply email in that style.

I second that.
, :down:, :worship:,:eek:, :crazy:, :bounce:, :protest:, , :hitler: and should all be added, imho. Well maybe not :hitler: as we have lot of people from Germany and it might be a problem to them, legally.
