SAVE FL

why not advertise a link to this thread on the SWAT mods on moddb?:)

The adverstising should be done for the Community and TSP did a good Step with the Community Bar imO.

But just to say it, when i am searching through the Web the only easy thing which can be done by all is advertising in Community Portals from Members, like Simba did it on sivhosten, those articles are pretty well ranked.

Multi Clan Portals are good Platforms aswell. I tried advertising CF in some Forums but the outcome was lets say not good enough for the Threads i wrote. At least there have to be much advertising to get much ppl to the Game.

There are pretty much Reviews, Videos and Articles about Freelancer around from the Wikipedia to Gameing Portals which we just can copy and paste to a good article. What we need is a massiv amount of Players/Interested Community Members to spread it all over the Web in Blogs, Forums and Portals.

Eventhough we would be able to communicate with Game Magazines to write something about an active FL Community. Maybe we have ppl. who can write a real Article as a presentation. After it well known active Community Members can take the lead to choosen Magazines.

Just some ideas for the beginning...

Huor

There are some pretty well running Vanilla Servers around aswell.

Freelancer needs a place like the Lancers Reactor back, one unique place where all the freelancers can join to find about mods and news of freelancer, advertise mods, servers and clans.

knowing that BP is back, hopefully the old list of The Lancers Reactor registered users can be recover and the word spread in to gatter all the old players in one place

there's to much places/portals around sharing modding information which in some way is spreading the community in stead of uniting it.

There was a time when the lancers reactor was on of the first links to show on google when looking for freelancer game, that's the place where it should be right after the the official freelancer site.

I am not against the creation of new mods (to be true I enjoy to try different mods), but the true is that the wide range of servers is spreading the community more then uniting it, I am not saying that they should finish, but I am saying that there's the need of more freelancer modders to unity in the way of making high quality mods.

For last, the greater thing in freelancer is the join of difrent sorts of playing in one only game, since the pvp, exploration, trading, the engine itself is not the better for it, the concept behind the game is the strong thing, if there is any engine out there capable of making something like freelancer, then it should be the place for the modders to look at...

When i´ve learned just one thing in the past then it is this:

Some places will accept only one top dog. It would be contraproductive imhO.

BP is a cool guy, very important to the whole FL community imho.

However, only one man can't do so much on a thunderstorm (got it? ^^)

Please excuse my interruption...but as far as advertisement is concerned...wouldn't it be cool if we had a blog about CF rp in one of the major blog sites, in which we could all write...(wordpress for example) I've read some pretty good stories wrote by the CF community, all clans have some rp stories that would be very cool, also stories from the ASF/CSF conflict...These stories + cool screens attached to the text could attract alot of people if advertised correctly...

This blog could be like different testimonies from different points of view...like in a war, from soldiers...

The password for the blog could be shared by all the major clans and veteran freelancers and all of us could post there...weekly, monthly or we could put somebody in charge of it and the rest of us sending him/her the articles and screens...

I can write some stories...

Well, FL has a LOT of mods, but many are unfinished, or aren't just that good. People to help the projects? There are many, but they are on their own projects, which maybe will never /b/ released.

I know my mod could add some more manpower to the FL community, but I think some ppl here already know what's happening in my case. And it happens with other modders too, I bet.

Hi all, left any game quite a time ago, but got dragged again to crossfire thanks to wavey, hehe.
On a direct recruiting approach hehe ... If you don't mind kiddos ... my boys are very interested in the mod, eventually they can bring quite a few of 13 year olds that are currently playing together on wow pirate servers ... but language barrier is the problem.
