What's the email address of that representative? Perhaps if we mass emailed him it might annoy them enough to get off their asses...

I would advise against that action.
I seriously doubt he can do anything
A 5 minute search on Freelancer will get the same page.

I have a more cunning plan.
We find the Products and Software people and ask them.
Then we follow that trail.

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.

Or we find the people who worked on Freelancer at DA. Some of them are mentioned in the the Freelancer fan pack.

I have an idea to try the new CEO as well. He might not care about Freelancer and just say yes!:)

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
