Freeworlds is also even more official-faction based than discovery.
You even have a shiplist from which you can pick if you're not within a faction, and must delete all your civilian ships once you join one. As I gather, you as a player cannot be in more than one faction at once, and are limited to one account's worth of characters.
Given that this is one of the main complaints of disco, and its nowhere near that bad here... I can't really see there being an exodus to Freeworlds.

It is. Clan Wolf emblem.
Back to topic. Tides of War gonna be a huge SW game based on FL-engine. Breathtaking graphics for a FL mod, fancy stuff and features. I will gonna play that mod till my brains explode, BUT...
It will be a huge performance eater no matter what the makers are saying that it will not be, and not every player have a high-end beast at home. It will be SW only, not everyone likes SW. It will be very RP driven, not everyone likes to RP. Also people can play 5, 10 or 50 mods not just one. Yes Tides of War gonna be great, but the other mods will gone continue to exist.

Well, there is nothing that is not normal at the moment. People have RL stuff to do and that's normal. I would not wonder if there are only a hand full players online at the most celebrated days.

Anyone want to go start a new Battletech mod? :cool:
Also, pay good heed to the veterans of Disco. This happens every fall. Hell, I know I'm doing my fair share of exclusive forumlancer. That will change once 4.86 comes out though. (Or a good Mechwarrior game... whichever happens first.)
On the other hand, the populations of Archy's portal, PTC "Relaxed RP", and disco Siberia seem to be growing.
Apart from the russians who prefer to speak russian, I guess some players prefer to play elsewhere.
The thing that bothers me while playing on GC is that you constantly have to put up with people who run around calling people lolwhutt and trying to put themselves in a position of "player superiority", and who are using skype friendships to get other people discredited within their own npc faction.
Cliquelancer, if you will.
The admins are doing nothing to stop it from happing. In fact a lot of them (not all) seem to be more interested in serving their own clique, spending most of their time guarding the forums and silencing people who object to someone in their clique (by calling it trial by forum or flaming or Q_Q), rather than doing objective admins work. You got several Al Capones and a lot of their goons here, in a way.
