Today, Roo Avery has published a Freelancer Feature Article on Xbox Live Addicts website, one of the lead UK Xbox Live fansites. Run by a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional), the site is an EMEA Xbox Community Network member, an IGDA Member and a Microsoft Partner.
The article tells about the Freelancer modding and server community, including The Starport where many of us participate, and Freelancer Community Network which we are a part of. You can read it all here:
and we certainly recommend all of you to check it out.
The article features a Discovery screenshot: one that you could see on ModDB earlier, with a Unione Corse ship flying in an asteroid field in Burgundy. There's also an interview with Starport admin, FriendlyFire, who mentions us as well.
Now, to get away fromt the egoistic rant on ourselves: in fact, the article became a great opportunity for a number of Freelancer servers to showcase their stuff, and it mentions all of the prominent fansites, mod communities, and servers which are currently running for Freelancer. Certainly something to help keeping Freelancer alive, and quite fairly saying that it's yet very far from dead.
Quote:And that about wraps up my feature, I want to take time to thank FriendlyFire, Worfeh and The Starport community for helping me with this write up. I want to thank the Server Admins and Owners out there, and the other key figures of the community that keep the game alive.
