Funny im posting in my own thread, but I am a glass half full kind of person now. I try not to look at the negatives and be grateful for what I have and what I can achieve. I have my own opinions on the nature of certain things in Freelancer like story/economy/pvp balance/sys design/marketing/RP but I keep most to myself with the exception of a few things.
I do make an effort to swing by and remind everyone who's the big ass cheater on this server educate the youth in this game. I have a ton of new real life events that demand the bulk of my time go elsewhere and plus I'm just getting older. Things that were an appeal to me when I was 16 are no longer an appeal to me 9 years down the road. Maybe this new patch will re-invigorate my desire to play Freelancer more often. But as it stands I prefer to be in this limbo of swinging by on weekends.
