I logged on a few days ago, I used to play CF in the old days, 1.2 I think...(Yea im old, but wise I hope)
You have come a long way OP since the old days, well done to you and your team..
I started to read the Forums and was saddend to read whats there....No wonder people are leaving.
I decided to start this thread because most of you have lost the meaning of playing together on a server.
After reading the forums, all I see is FLAME WARS between clans, Moaning, whinging and infighting.
This is the main reason that I and others I know wont play here anymore..
Its got to stop, your all behaving like SPOILT BRATS...The more OP gives you, the more ungrateful you are...(If the cap fits)
You should all take a step back and remember playing on this server is a privilage not a right..
You guys have the best mod out there for Roleplay, Trading or just exploring, trust me im old and have played on most of them and this server is by far the most professionally run server out there..
The grass is not greener, just a different shade..
IF you want to play on an unprofessional server that allows cheating, mods, dock spawning etc...Then C.F is not for you..
All this Moaning and Flaming has got to stop..Please you can do it..
Most other servers have rules but dont enforce them..so unless you are an ADMIN or POLICE you get severe problems trying to play properly..
I make no apolligies here OP, AND If I were you I would close this site down for a while and take a well deserved rest..maybe that will teach them.
Remember OP set up this site for you with most of his own cash I would think, so more respect please...
Most other servers envy you guys, you have the potential to be the best, but you must stop all this infighting...
I know rules sometimes seem unfair...But did the rules in the original game make the game less enjoyable, I dont think so..(Yes there were rules)
OP, As side note the rule regarding entering Clan systems seems to be bothering a lot of people, including newbies..
Remember when you first played F.L. and entered the ALPHA system and found you were hostile, after you killed them, didnt you want to get your REP changed so you could land, buy a new ship, trade etc..
Maybe a REP change system for Clans would be possible for those people wanting to enter these systems...Those who didnt pay but entered would face the consequences, but could enter without asking people all the time..surley this would inhance ROLEPLAY
AND if people survived, new members could be recruited
Remember..IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME..
Just a thought..
Regarding Roleplay, Why dont you think of a script before starting..Get it written up on the Forum, and posted in game...
I will help with this if you want....
Most people just grab a m8 and try to R.P without anyone knowing whats going on, this is what causes arguments..
I dont know you personally OP, and if you think this will do no good please feel free to delete this thread.
I just feel strongly about this..
At least I tried...
