Reasons to love and hate Freelancer in 2022

[Traudel Habermeyer]

I have to agree with Groshyr's points here for the most part. Gameplay and aesthetics, for sure.

I can't really say much about the modding itself, but i was pleasantly surprised that we can customize info-cards, have player bases and so many more additions compared to the vanilla experience.
As i am still mostly a newcomer here, i may not be burdened by years upon years of difficult relations and beef - but that is a given in any roleplaying community i'd say. Hard to keep that out.
This one is just, on first glance at least, comparabily small today.

Yet i have to admit, that i have been somewhat tricked by the player count. I already feared i might not get as many interactions as i had hoped for, people mainly digging the PvP and hauling items from a to b.
But here i go, having RP encounters left and right. For which i am highly thankful.


To sum it up, FL is a childhood game of mine i always like to think of fondly.
Being able to enjoy it not only alone, but with others, so many years after its release is truly wonderful.
