    i actually dont know what could be the reason, seeing as i only played mp once. But is it possible that players simply get bored by what basically is a nearly 10 year old game?


    What i mean by that is not that it´d be your fault or that you could actually do something about it, more along the lines of normal "player shrinkage" (for lack of a better name).
    I was in the position to witness a quite similar effect on another game that was quite popular at the time (Counterstrike). The technology got old, so when something similar came up with more recent tech (cs:s) a massive number of players dissapeared never to come back. And at the time the original mod wasn´t even that old. After the first wave was over the number of players steadily shrunk, to the bismal remains, still playing 1.6 today. (It went from Millions of players in its high time to a couple of thousand today, and that´s a game with a much higher volume as freelancer)


    Btw something along the lines of finding new mp-players: On my attempt i found it extremely difficult to get started, as the only way to get even a little bit of money was a mission and those npc´s were so darn jumpy i needed 45 Minutes to kill even one. In that speed it would take months before i could even think about trying serious RP or even a PvP for a change. That´s what sort of ruined MP for me. It just shouldn´t take that long to shoot down one scrawny little level 1 liberty rogue npc. I don´t say i´d want to get there in an instant, but seeing light at the end of the tunnel would be nice. Sorry, btt.
