Suggestion for when the server comes up

Kurtdog · Post by **Kurtdog** » Mon Oct 29, 2012 12:55 am

I see.
Well, how about we put all this behind us? I don't know what happened, because i wasn't here. But i do know we love this mod, and server.
Let's put this behind us, and stop being negative here.
Once the server opens again on the 1st we start over fresh. Hopefully none of these things happen again. Or if they do something is done about it...

Thats just my take on it...

This new start gives us a good oportunity to forget all the s**t that went on the forums and ingame, hell I even suggest to put the whole forums into archive and start over with a fresh one alongside with the mod. Too much rage went on the forums, and also ingame, it killed Void, we cannot allow it again to happen. Maybe this is a last chance for Void, Fl is dying rapidly year after year, if we screw up we Void will be gone.

@Kurtdog: yea there is a Viper in the mod, it is the Original Series Mk I one. Tbh I never liked the model, there are better version to dl and use.

- We can have the best mod, the best trade routes, best ships whatever, if the players just mess around ingame bored. Events are the key. Spontaneous or planned, they can boost the activity. Also the Void was the only server whit ingame quizes. What a great idea, also whole lot of events were held, actions in Spart, EFZ, constant action in Alex, there was allways something to do. We need to aim for the same fun again.

Fact is not everybody likes to do what us core players like to do. Its a time of scarse players that play FL these days. Let alone play online (most of them dont know that you need a workaround to fix the MP server list)

Simply pvp is not going to keep new players here. We need other things among that.

Totally agreed with zsoca, we need events, i miss those racing ones

I also loved doing missions on tartarus.

According to my opinion the VOID-server is one of the most balanced Freelancer pvp server (I think of 2112 mod).

There are no problem with trade, and trade-time.
When I went another Freelancer server (under the offline of VOID) my biggest problem was to develop myself to be pvp-ready. I didn't know the profitable trade lines, I didn't know a lot of rules (look at HC server for example, where everiones shoot what he wants, and so on...).
And when I developed myself to be pvp-ready with a good ship and equipment after long hours I felt the pvp-style of that server wasn't attractive to me (HC, Underverse for example).
All activities was useless...
No needs long trade time.
Moreover a lot of old VOID-player can't give up the missio and trade activities under the game. Those players, who use missiles and torpedos (like me) have to earn money to buy this items for the pvp-s.
My opinion: if we want to get more players to the server we should create a little map into the headpage of this website with the fastest trade possiblities (it can include only the New Berlin - New London - New Tokyo triangle tied by Alexandria in a simple illustration, and no more).
I am sure, that more players try to build a carrer on VOID.

Cheaters:
Yes, I am agree with those who have written that it was a big problem in VOID. Fortunately the leadership of most clans and some admin fought against these persons with their possiblities, but there were players, whose ships moved in irregular way.
It was a real problem.

Build a career based on 40mins of trading then log off because there is no one to pvp.

How does this fit in your vision of the void?

And events are only usefull when there is a player base. Which there isn't.

Let us just have a fun on VOID when it start its life again. I think that we have to help new players in the beginning (show them traderoutes ...) to let them feel welcome on VOID. Events are great. Doesnt matter what kind. I had best times with friends trading together, pvp, exploring the space, writing jokes ... Its not important to me if I need 2 or 100 hours to make some money. There are always a lot of things you can do in space. I just love the time spent on VOID with fairplaying players even if had been killed and had to say magic word "gf"

or pay taxes ... Just dont say why we can not, say "yes we can"

(sounds familiar) and be online.

Shortly, let Strail decide what happens and use your best behavior? Not complicated theory.

When the last player wipe was my only money income was looting the USS Alaska and selling the codenames

and before that the Light arms run in NY - even that was annoyingly long-taking

. Usually trading is just a pain in the a**, I think the majority of players hates trading...anyway there is another thing with trading. The SHIPS. Not only good trade routes are required, but different ships too. Void offers only one,the AT that have a terrible handling. I always hated trade on Void for that. It is boring to have to choose from 1 ship. Diversity is the key.

I understand both groups of people. One which want fast credits for new ship and other one who wants to play on longer run. I also see nomad point and I agree with him. Only suggestion I have is to make both groups of people happy. Keep that short profitable run NT-NB-NL with AT and also give even better one Tartarus -ZetaLeone one from previous mod with westernhand (my favour it one).
So bring back some ships and also include BS but restricte them just for clans. I know that is not possible to do that right now but at least those small changes which have influence directly on the game play.
For events I am always open for suggestions and I like to host them.

I also believe both should be accounted for, a lot of people might enjoy a fairly short amount of time as they get used to the game again doing trade routes etc.

I mean the kind of grind that I am used to comes from MMOs such as WoW so this will be nothing, probably like level 1-10 lol.

So, the server is coming back online soon... Well for what its worth, I'm back to play and to offer my support.

I suggest we do some advertising on freelance community sites when we get back online. Once we get a good target, I mean player base we can start getting clans and hosting events, like the good ole days.

See you in the Void.

The mod will go back online and I will not play it

Got I job opportunity and that means I am moving to another city where i will have no internet. Take care guys and once Void is up, keep it alive as long as possible.
