As much as it drives me insane, the community is why I stick around. The fact a Freelancer community is still alive and kicking is insane, I'm glad to be a part of it.

My potato computer can run it. Also, forum RP can be fun if done with the right people. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun RPing with the guys in Kugov, I've always been a fan of their attention to detail when it comes to politics RP. When they start responding again, that is...
Freelancer fulfills a very old niche for me, this game started my gaming and no other game has ever interested me more.

I've stayed here because I had the most epic times I ever thought I'd have here. There's also the draw of being part of an ongoing (space) world, multiplayer world in general. The idea that there's always stuff going on here, always something to jump in on, to find to do that is more than just normal gaming by yourself, always leaves me coming back. I used to have friends here, but they left, then I left, and came back, maybe they came back, and left again...?
Yet I do also find that some people are busy with some POB's, but aside from that we could still use a few new things/aspects to our experience here to spice it up and keep it refreshing. Most people are content with the basics of the gameplay and game world, but find themselves with much drive to log but not as much to do. As far as I am concerned we can set up things so the battles that are already happening or would happen have more significance, and it should all be used to try to drive activity outside of weekends and events. Coming back is easy, staying is a reflex that also can feel hard sometimes when there's a lot of wrongful stuff that goes on here that never changes or is reigned in, and its a permanent anchor on this place until those in charge decide to make some changes.
