Well, instead of signing a petition for Microsoft to continue Freelancer (Because we don’t have the money to do so, and neither does Microsoft, despite they have the money to buy 500 private islands thanks to the newest generation of Xbox “gamers” playing CoD). Digital Anvil got the axe because Microsoft had no patience for them and therefore sacked them.

Well look at it this way, the graphics engines for Freelancer people have produced, the massive and expansive mod community and their projects, Freelancer 2 should be in the hands of the community.

Although there may be some negativity at first we can pull this off over time, with some co-ordination and support. And honestly the original Freelancer is not going to stay forever with constant mods and servers being added. It’s like adding clay, you keep adding clay to make whatever your making not collapse, and you keep adding, and adding until it’s just a big mess.

With the expertise of the community we can make Freelancer 2 a reality and show Microsoft that they can get stuffed, because we can actually do a better job than they can…

I do know as a fact that there is legal lawsuits, issues and roadblocks on the way to reviving a great and wonderful game. As Freelancer gets new mods, that’s adding an even greater opportunity to make the sequel realised.

And Xbox can also get stuffed… Were not handing Freelancer over to those hogs :). Petitions can’t help us here unfortunately, that will only infuriate Microsoft as they always think about money, when we create kick-arse mods for free. Only actions can help us here.

We all know this is a massive long-shot, but we never know unless we try. We should base Freelancer 2 on the current Freelancer adding new graphics, textures, sounds and a fresh new look on everything. Also a new System to explore, rather than Sirius and maybe the combined forces of Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari and Rheinland settle their differences and get revenge and redemption on the Coalition.

Also the help of this great site, ModDB and Lancers Reactor we can get more manpower and ideas to make this sequel a reality.

This may seem like i’m preaching to all of you to do it for my own benefit, but I assure you I have experience of my own.

Thanks for reading.
