Before the admins get all huffy, please do not delete this thread, it is not an advertisement for a competitor game.
I know I left but I had to come back for a bit to spread the word. For those of you who don`t know, Freelancer is a 3D space sim released by microsoft in 2003. It was a fantastic game with a dedicated fan base but for various reasons it was never a huge commercial success. If it weren`t for freelancer I most likely would have never found this game and spent three wonderful years here (there isn`t space here to tell that story, but if you are really interested I`ll be checking in for the next few days, so send me a PM).
In honor of that link I chose the name Kusari when I joined up here and have used it ever since. My second tribute is this thread. The fan community of Freelancer has started a petition asking microsoft to consider making the long awaited sequel to the game, and it already has nearly 15,000 signatures. If anyone here is a freelancer fan (I know there are a few of you) please go here: http://www.petitiononline.com/FLPet/petition.html
and sign up. If you have never heard of freelancer now is the perfect time to check it out.
