It has been years since i have bothered with the game, mostly gave up due to how lag just really annoys me in this game, but otherwise one it is still the best game i have played for its simplicity.
I did have an account here a while back, I can only assume that it got shelved with the old forum, by the looks of things.
I am thoroughly glad to hear that people are trying to work on making a sequel, even if Microsoft has done nothing but ignore this game even exists, but it is their IP, so what they do is up to them, I still find it odd that after this amount of time they are still stubborn about the Original code, though i have my theories, I doubt they really exist in reality, though i found it odd that the Halo mod died so abruptly, then I witnessed a space section in Halo Reach, made me wonder obviously.
Either way I hope to stay at least a bit more active, though I am almost certain that my disc for Freelancer is corrupted by scratches to its surface, finding it rather odd that it still plays with no obvious problems though, not sure what to do there.
