Hi haven't played in a few years but I found my disc and installed it and came to see if you were still here.
Why do you need to be register to download now?
Hi, what happened to the old site?
-
-
Welcome back
Because we decided to make people register before they download.
-
Hi why is it a .org now?
-
because .com is no longer available to use
-
Why is that?

Why is that?
They probably had problems with the domain and had to change.
-
Wasnt it so that lancersreactor.org was hosted on a MS server, and then they decided not to host the site anymore?
-
Why would they decide to not host it?
-
Maybe cause of Microsofts 5 year policy. After 5 years support is dropped. This also included the Global List Server and so on.
-
Why would they stop supporting a game after 5 years?
-
Its not only the game. The 5-Year-Policy applies to all of their software
-
Why 5 years and not 4 or 6 years?

for the same reason they would stop supporting an operating system after 10 years?
-
What is that reason?

Simply put.. $$
It costs $ to support programs.. webstaff, patches (yeah i know..) and the like all have to be financed somehow.. and we all know just how much MS likes to spend $ when the return is minimal.
One does not have to look far these days for similar actions from developers right across the board.. they say its due to things like the economy & shit.. but the reality is they really don't care.. they have your $, once a game is out its a rare thing to receive support along the lines of Steam (HL2) or Bioware.

So who hosts the site now?
