Freelancer - global server workaround
« on: April 26, 2008, 04:42:32 pm »
I don't know how many of you lot are sporadic freelancers - I'd been away from the game for months and came back to find Microsoft has shut down the global server, so you need a workaround if you want to see the server list in-game.

(I know, the fix has been up for months, but I didn't know about it so maybe someone else is also as out of touch  ;) )
It's posted in lots of places, but here's one of them: Global server workaround

You rock, Herr Wessels.  I got back into Freelancer about two months ago and was bummed when I didn't see any servers at all.  I'm exploring an all-new Freelancer setup that I found with the Discovery mod.

Yep got that a few months ago. One thing that is happining is that the Popular servers are posting Direct connects to there servers. I like using the LAN connections because it tends to reduce the Ping. Having a Blast on Monkey Universe. Where it pays to be a Smuggler.

On the Monkey Universe there is a TON of Illicit things you can buy and sell. Just a partial list

1. Cigs..... The Outcast way to take out the Liberty Navy. By way of Lung Cancer  :drool:
2. Narcotics...... Poppy seeds are popular  :D
3. Pleasure Droids...... For those lonely nights in the Middle of No Where :-*
4. Child Slaves..... Don't even get caught transporting this. Even the Pirates will hunt you down  :-[
5. VA Neural Chips...... Plug in, Tune in, Drop Out  :o
