Well its been over 12 months and we are still alive and kicking at Retroverse

A new server is now up online with support for up to 64 players. Server resides in a data center in melbourne so Aussie players will get great ping times and no lag.

The server was ProGames, but as I am shutting that down and merging it with my BBS its now “Retroverse”.

We have full leaderboard and statistics, plus we also offer $25K ingame bonus to new players.

There are a few regulars who play so when you get a chance jump on and explore.

We are running vanilla Freelancer.

So finally got me a sponsor and a better server for hosting, there has also been a rebranding process as Oz Gamer Party is no more.

Server Name: ProGames Australia
Server IP : 203.143.82.204
Server Hostname: play-au.progames.com.au

Pilots can still claim their 25K bonus but everything has relocated to http://www.progames.com.au/

Only problem I am having is getting my server included in the ingame list.

Server is still running

I had to move it to a new home lastnite as I was shutting down the server I had it hosted on. But its back online today…

I do prefer vanilla after experimenting with mods and it will stay that way.

The 25K bonus works well at converting players to the forums plus it gives you a great kickstart early in the game I’ve found.

I have had a few people suggest keeping it vanilla… is there a reason why I keep hearing this?

Going to keep it vanilla… while I realise everyone else has probably gotten board with vanilla, alot of my players have never played the game before so for us vanilla is still interesting.

I may look at some minor mods down the line.

Thanks

We’ve got about 9 or 10 players now and have been having a blast playin this. Can’t beleive I only found out about this game last week hahaha.

I have setup a system that gives players who claim their pilot on our forums a once off in-game bonus of 25K and it will weekly give them (those who’ve been on for 1 hour or more) a bonus 5K.

Hey all, kinda new to this whole scene… got bored of eves mammoth time requirements so I started searching for an alternative and came across this game. I have setup a server running in Melborne Australia - 24 / 7.

One of my work colleages is working with me on some minor addons such as integrating player stats with our game forums (Invision Powerboard).

Currently the server is vanilla… that may change but not likely at this stage.

Anyways if you want to check it out feel free to jump on… server details are at:

I also provide a TeamSpeak3 server for players on our gaming network.
