Stick or bounce?

[JonasHudson]

I remember within the first few months I played there was a week long rollback. I had just bought my first capship (Sagarmantha) after a week of grinding (only had a couple hrs a day back then) Didn't I totally log to find it all never happened? I did. And then...I did it all over again.

Since then there have been a bunch of DDOS's and crashes. The server was down for a few weeks.a few years ago. All of these things over time were the kicks that shook a lot of the old playerbase loose. In the big forum loss I lost months of forum posts of really good rp.

So far things have held together pretty good despite all thats been going on. 2 days is pretty easy going compared to what we've endured in previous years. It sucks that its over a power struggle, but this one seemed to have been brewing for years. I'm also a player that likes to avoid drama with other players, and the admins/devs, but I also won't hide my opinions either. There's no point in getting angry at individuals, we're all here because we love freelancer. Let your principles come out via your gameplay and roleplay. As a player sometimes thats all you can do.

Personally, I believe Sirius (the server) is a special 'place', and its another battlefield in the real war of good vs evil. Great powers know this place. It wound up in a bigger spotlight than we ever thought. All these mishaps, attacks, stuggles, are all because there is a malevolent force that wants to ruin this place. But that is because its such a great game&mod, which like many games from this era, will be considered part of the pioneering efforts (simulations) in the beginnings of our real future in space . No matter what happens its up to the players to keep it alive for many reasons. So, from what I've seen, I'm convinced things will bounce back if we hang in there.
