I'm out

Your clan is so little known? Made of the pub, made sure that everyone wants to enter the noble clan of RA

On crossfire I see a lot of players without clan and who do not even know that they exist, ask them to join you

It is true that the crossfire server is somewhat abandoned, but I know that freelancer discovery is very active (I often see 50 people connected) after I never test this mod

Well PE, if you must leave, at least remember the good times, and also remember that nothing is able to remain the same forever. Things change all the time, whether it be the server or the population or even the activities. When that change comes, people must change also or be left feeling as you do, alone and forgotten. However, most seem to just focus on the present and not of the possibilities that the future can hold in store for them. WHile everyone does respond to change differently, it is always better to go through that change with others, as they too are also adapting to the changes, and look to each other for support. Just because you are one of the last RA members, doesnt mean you are alone here without friends. Sure you may be small now, but so was DP at a time. As you can see, DP has grown somewhat in the years, simply because we went through the changes that hit us as a guild, and even as a family. Nothing ever worth having ever comes easily. you have to work at it and go through some hard times sometimes, but in the end, those things that are worth having become so much more prized. So, while i am sad to see you go, just remember that you will not be forgotten and that you will always have those who still call you friend here.

yes... the server population is an issue
Despite the low numbers CF still belongs to the 3 most active servers. And that shows the general shape of FL.
Dunno why people prefer discovery but I assume that most new players by default try to join the most active server and so other servers never really get a chance these days.
On the other side I also think that existing features on CF never really were used in an interesting way.

e.g. Clan bases
yes... the clans have build them... but thats it
nobody tried to disturb the construction of the bases... nobody caused conflicts and some interesting game situations that would have spiced up everything
for a short term achievement (a fully constructed base) you ignored possible long term goals (player interaction and conflicts which would have kept your clan members busy and interested in playing the game).

but well... I can only provide the features.... you just need to use them

@Portalearth read twice Op post above and after my reply to your message in chat ...

i would like to add my 2 cents here too. i,m one of those players as mentioned is on c/f not in peak times. i see a steady flow of new players coming on and old players activating new char names too, and pirates getting new char names too . there old ones are known so they loose the surprise attacks. i,m kept fairly busy with help and advice to them through the game till they get going/stand on there own feet. $$$$ is not given as thats not the purpose of the game.in saying that yes i have given $$ to some who are really struggling and show some keaness in the mod. quiet a few of them are still there today as long term.
i also add that yes at times there has been only me on in game but after a short period of time seen that change to six or more.so my point here is it,s not quiet for long. just for the record too i,m on here daily for atleast 6-10 hours with short breaks and r/l. sometimes more.
it is yet to bore me, there is always something or someone, that keeps my busy.
we only have a few players in our clan too from a small list. but one or two are in game.
also just on discovery which i do see mentioned here at times. i have played it and its not my interest. i prefer crossfire due to its on going up dates its creativity by the team and its friendly from other players.admittedly we have some ratbags but thats the game.
its a game after all, but a bloody good one. r/l always comes first.

Yeah, thanks for that Kermit

Like Kermit, I have seen many new players come onto our server, only about a half of those who enter are never seen again which is unfortunate. Indeed RP is almost dead to all clans except Smugglers, but that isn't a reason to leave. We still have events, Clan bases, players loyal to this mod.

Disco isn't even that great. I joined Disco for a week to see how it went. I was stuck in a beginner's ship for four days before realising you can reset your character which is no way within RP limits.

the only advantage of the Disco mod is the way they handled the battleship issues: they move better than in CF, get not stuck in tradelanes, they have more firepower and a VHF has no chance to kill them, and there is a bigger assortment. some players left CF just for the BS issue.

i´m one of the newer players on the server - and there is only one reason for me not to be a member of a clan - my RL (i work as a traindriver and are mostly 10 or eleven days not at home) forces me to have no regular times to play on the server...

hope, i find more time in futere...

greetings, (Sirku, H.G.Adams)

PS - there is a player called Mercury - is that you? I saw him nearly 20 days back the last time...
at the end of the last year, he played often...

Mercury is a Freelancer, who has been in trouble quite a few times I may add

mercury is thanhru with his hundreds of other char names using two computers. he is also a PIRATE. a good pilot not player.

PLLs come then left MOD, that isnt strange me for my 2 years playing
RA you are right. But for me, i find out some reason to keep my playing as fighting in Arena with Dented, talking with some ppls who are friendly. when I keep my playing, i dont hope it will be fun bcs it isnt as we wish. Even that is really good MOD. community here is cool, ppls are friendly thats enough for my playing so let find something for you

I'm in ?

I know that my question seems to be (probably) debilitated but are you "satisfied" now, have you resumed to undertake your carrier of smugler ?

yay, we need more smugglers. because smugglers smuggle and get rich. and this makes pirates envious for smuggler's riches and then they come to tax them. and police doesn't like smugglers to smuggle, because smugglers mostly smuggle black market goods. so if we have more smugglers there are probably more jobs for us, the mercenaries. because we can protect smugglers. just as i did a few days ago. a smuggler called razza gave me such a job and it was fun. i didn't get rich, no, not like the smuggler got rich. but it was fun. even if there was no cop. well, there was a cop online, but maybe he didn't knew that razza is a smuggler who smuggles. ok and there was a pirate too, but he was trading his own business. but there was a second when i really expected, he would come for the smuggler, because this pirate knew that razza is a smuggler who smuggles. and this second was really exciting. i hope to experience more of such an excitement. so yeah, we definitely need more smugglers

Hehe lots of Smuggle in there Denne

Maybe m8 you need to run as a freelancer!
That way when you log in and you are alone, it does not matter, you just work on your cha, take it to the next level, if someone turns up who you can role play with, fine, else there is always something you can do.
There have been times when I have played 5 to 10 min and log off having done something interesting.
The longest I have played is a few hours, at times, it is hard with all the variables to be in a clan and give it the support required.?!

However things go for you m8

Good Luck.
