Options to "revive" (save) Freelancer
-
If at all possible, I’d send a mail to the Ubisoft quarters here in Montreal. It’s the biggest site they have and maybe they’d listen more to a bilingual letter…
-
However, I am going to e-mail 4players.de to add the GLS-Workaround to the Freelancer-download and ask them if they could write a news.
I would like declare the GLS Workaround as “Multiplayer Patch” because it is the easiest description.
Does anyone have something agianst this plan?
(I also need the permission fromthe GLS autor - W0dk4.)Freelancer at 4players:

I am also going to mail some other game communites which wrote an article about Freelancer to add the “Multiplayer Patch” in the description.
(I would like to ask for a general permission to spread the GLS - Workaround around everywhere I want to - I dont think autors would be against it, but I prefer clear permissions.) -
Please spread the GLS Workaround v1.0, download at
http://stats.freelancerserver.de/It includes a redirect of FL.exe to Crazy’s new GLS server, so its more secure as regards downtimes of crazys GLS or freelancerserver.de.

bump tha whol thing
(sent a mail to Gamestar magazine hope they may took it at CD - Yeah, then I guess we would reach very much ppl :P) -
good work Bas
-
However, didnt got a reply from GS magazine till yet.
BUT I started a [email protected], and it really seems that the most newbies found their way to FL MP through google. So our aim should… - NO, IT MUST BE SEO.
-
Nicely done BAS.
I am kinda free from committments right now. So if I can help, please email me [email protected].

my personal idea is too increase the SEO by using very directly domain names and meta tags like freelancer-patch.de.vu, freelancer-multiplayer.info, freelancer-server-online.blabla etc. and redirect them to a GLS Workaround download-page
Hm - and it even wouldnt be that hard ^^
(afaik domain names are a very important searching creteria for search-engines.
NOTE: I am a noob at that, so dont rely on my guessing ^^)

Rooiiieeee, added ya to MSN, mate.
-
Have talked directly to xfb4it (via IM) and she will redirect my e-mail to a other staff member who is responsible for hosting patches @ http://www.xfire.com (Yeah I know that ya can connect via xfire to the servers but many newbies dont know, I got whispered then and then how I was able to play at a server)
-
I know someone…
I will ask and see if she can put the idea into the right peoples head.
-
I can email a few Serbian and Croatian PC magazines (I send them enough emails anyway, they practically know me lol :D), I was actually planning to do a similar thing recently.
If we could all put our efforts together, with this community from all over the world, we have the means to start a Freelancer revolution!

Adding FL to steam would see the end of “us”…
Just look at how modifiable other added titles have become since
being integrated… that’s a huge 0… Steam rewites the code to be compliant with… er… steam… & nothing else… a few games have survived this… but there SP titles only, MP must comply with the VACAll the above is good… just do yeselfs a BIG favor and stay away from myspace gaming forums… I was roasted by a admin there for trying to revive/start a FL movement… they were quite rude about it actually…
Quote:- “no one gives a S*%t”
To be honest… (in AUS) if it wasn’t for that fateful day i had some Xmas $$ and requested a trip to EB to spend it… I would have never found FL as that’s the only copy I’ve ever seen on the shelves… that was 7 years ago… I get treated like some silly hippy retro freak if i even mention it to store owner/managers… even from my friends.
That said… there is still a glimmer of light in the fact our only real PC game mag down here does a mod section… & FL has appeared at least every 16 months or so… so obviously… were doing something right…
