Email Microsoft For Freelancer 2

God how many times did i see a " send Microsoft E-mail" threads...too many thats what.

Instead of begging for another instalment (sp) of freelancer why can´t we (this community of fans and users) make our own ? I have seen mods that are quite impressive, wouldn´t it be only a little harder to make a freelancer 2? Am I being a little simple? I am sorry if this is so. jeff97386

It takes more than "many thousands" of anything for MS to bat an eye. Surely bombarding them with poor grammer will allow the developers to pry the cash out of Bill´s cold, dead hands. I want FL II as much as the next guy (or gal), but this is not the way to do it. Someone needs to go talk to them face to face to get results.

Dont you have to be able to change or edit the EXE before you can do a real change in the game?

Then it will not be Freelancer nnn because of Copyright protection. Don´t get me wrong, I admire your effort, but I am sorry to say that is far fetched.

Then it wouldn´t be Freelancer it would be something else. ANYWAY, do you know how many hours , days, years it would take for one man to make a game to stand up to Freelancer by itself? ALOT. I mean I was reading the storys here and it said they spent more then 200 years of man work on like the art work. (or the game it´s self.) Plus Microsoft can still get you by saying, &quot;O your using Freelancer Ideas.&quot; You wouldn´t be able to use anything from Freelancer becuase microsoft would get you. There is no point right now. I´ve seen people trying to send microsoft 6000 sigs of people who want to get FL2. Well microsoft needs WAY more then 6000. They are just going to take those sigs and burn it while drinking their tea and laughing becuase they have the power to do it. Now who do you got to support your game? Which company? Do you got enought money to buy the programs to make new effects? I know that´s a hard hit to the face, but I am tired of hearing people go, &quot;O yes sign this and see FL2 come out.&quot; No it´s not going to happen unless Microsoft gives some rope to pull on and they aren´t going to do it unlesss people can prove they are going to make a lot of money on this game. Don´t think 6000 or even 50 k sigs are going to get them to move. They want to hear HUGE numbers. I only tell what I hear or read, so I do not know if I am 100 % right and I know I am not. But I got my own opinon and I say it´s not going to happen for while. Anyway Good luck trying to make the game. Good Luck asking microsoft to give up copyright to the game. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

There are another idea int he works...details soon..

NOTE: I have never thought of making a new FL game. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> So your worng about me even thinking about it. Again you might as well sign your company over to Microsoft if you are planning on using anything from FL, just like the other guy said, ships, sounds, anything. Even the hint of Freelancer in your &quot;new game&quot; will be said to be &quot;freelancer like&quot; and microsoft will be off on it´s court papers. uh You didn´t really shove anything down my throat. I´ve never thought about microsoft and making a entirely new game using Freelancer as the idea. Not the brightest idea to risk your company. It´s your pick. Make a new game based off Freelancer.Get sued. It doesn´t bug me one bit. Even if your company supports you......it´s going to be named and it will become a target of Microsoft. Good luck to you. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Well good luck......lol <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Here´s my 2 cents on this... You obviously have absolutely no experience in this field. Have you ever even attempted to do something like this? Uh no you haven´t... I have a small Ti-83 calculator that has a built in scripting program. I use it to make games. I am making a TEXT BASED game... I´ve been working on it for 1 year now and I´m not even half-way finished! 1 YEAR! I´ve also worked with a scripting program called DarkBasic on my computer. Talk about tough! I know a friend who is working on a 3D game... He´s been working on that game for well over 3 years. And I´ll tell you right now... That game is almost worth being on addictinggames.com and nowhere else. It´s just not that great. It´s taken TEAMS of people to pump HUGE games out in 3 stinken years! You are by yourself with no knowledge, and you expect this to be out in 6 months??? I´m sry to burst your bubble but it´s not going to happen. You should just leave that idea alone until you´ve got MASSIVE amounts of experience in that field, AND a good-sized TEAM working with you. Oh and by the way, that team will be wanting MONEY... SO you better have a TON of that too. I highly doubt there is anybody with enough experience in that field that is willing to work for free. What we are ALL trying to tell you is, this IS NOT and WILL NOT be possible. 1 man CANNOT pump out a HUGE game in 6 months. 1 man couldn´t even do that in 5 years! If you want a game that has a-some graphics, a-some effects, a-some everything, you HAVE to have a team. Period. There´s no getting around it. If you were to work on it yourself, chances are, somebody who has a TEAM will pump the game out before you, and you´ll just have to sit there and ball your eyes out because you were beaten and had just wasted 3 years of your life. But by all means, do it if your so dedicated to this. All we are trying to do is protect you form loses. You´ve been given wisdom from alot of people. It´s up to you to decide what you´re going to do. If you want to save yourself from ALOT of heart ache, head aches, and who knows what else, I highly suggest you follow our advice to you. But that´s your choice, not mine. So do what you will...
