100,000 downloads, 177 players online, and a new Discovery Wiki

[Igiss]

Discovery Freelancer v4.84, officially released on December 9 2007, has reached a total amount of 85,000 downloads from our site (according to Webalizer stats) and 11,500 more downloads from Mod DB. We did not count downloads from other sources that host the new version of the mod. So, 4.84 has reached 100,000 downloads in 3 months of its existence, which is really impressive.

Another impressive number is displayed on the screenshot above (click to see full version): there are 177 players online at one time on the Discovery 24/7 RP server! This is probably a record number for any Freelancer server, ever; to achieve it, we used the tool released by w0dk4 that allowed to surpass the 128 player limit of original Freelancer server.



We are also glad to announce that Discovery Wiki is back online after years of extinction. You can visit it by followin g this link: www.discoveryfl.com/wiki. The resurrected Wiki will contain information about the mod itself, about our server, its factions, upcoming role-playing events, as well as info about other Discovery servers that their admins will be able to edit themselves. Also, the Wiki will play an important role in organizing development of the new version of the mod, providing safe ground for sharing information between our modellers and other community members who contribute to the mod.
