Seems to me most of the people that wanted raw back up, hasnt returned as of yet. I have spent a lot of hours arguing with console messages, and they are all the same............

Makes for a very dull time.

We need for someone to at least come on and make it more enjoyable, even if to just talk,


Thanks for letting me rant

I will be on at some random time this weekend for some random amount of time.

Sorry, it's the best I can do, I have totally lost interest in playing FL. raw is empty every time I log on, and I just can't bring myself to start over on another server.

I've been playing City of Heroes on rare occasions, and Tabula Rasa on somewhat more frequent occasions.

Ive looked into other mmorpgs (Guild Wars, Eve Online, World of Warcraft, etc. and have no interest in any of those).

If anyone has any ideas for an mmorpg server that we can run on the raw hardware don't hesitate to post a suggestion. We have a lot of firepower at our disposal right now, even though the bandwidth is somewhat limited.

you know...

i remember times when there been users on missing the Judges. Now it seems the other way around. I hit someone randomly from time to time, but most of the time when i log on, no one shows up even if i stay for an hour or so.

It really hurts me sometimes if i just think about what time and efforts we spent in the old days setting everything up to populate the server and seeing it to be one of the best servers out there, and then just a handfull of wrong chosen ppl killed it.

Ur right about those who say always to bring it back up... they talk a lot and you dont see them anymore or maybe for a couple minutes on a day or so. TO bring it really back up, i think you need to start using a mod and see how it goes. The old raw wont come back my friend. And i dont think they will just log on to entertain you. Even if you are one of the originals... hehe...

I sometimes play myselfs on tekagis treasure mod, wich has lotsa systems and ships. Its a great server with a good community. Maybe i will see some lost raw souls there sometime...

I just don't have time to play any more. I'm working again, I drum 2 nights a week, go to the gym the other 3 and at weekends I'm usually running around at drumming gigs, or doing housework, or visiting family and friends... and by the time I can get on FL it's some ridiculously late (or early depending on how you look at it) hour in the US and no-one is around anyway. Sorry guys :-/ I loved raw, and the people, but things change. I'll always have msn for even 5 min chats, so if you don't have it, pm me and I'll let you know what it is.

Is that because of an emotional attachment to raw or because you are worried about making credits/friends on another freelancer server?

I wanted so bad to rebuild the population on raw, but then the server went offline for a while. When Raw came back up I’d play for hours on end, pretty much alone on the server. I’d see and chat with one or two players during that time. Things just got too boring. I wanted interaction so I went to another server where I could get that interaction. Eventually I joined up with the Admin team on the other server. I don’t play all that much now anyway; I mostly spend my Freelancer time handling Admin stuff.
I showed up on raw for about half an hour yesterday as Gohan and there was Rambo and one other player on. Rambo left 2 minutes after I logged in. I flew some Nomad Cannons out to the other guy from my storage in NY and then he logged off right after.
I still check in on raw once a week or more, and look for anything that needs Admin attention about that often, but when weeks go by and you don’t see anyone else during your time….. you start wondering why you bother.

I suppose we could contact Igiss about running his Discovery mod while using Raw’s rules. I’m sure there are folks who would like to play on a PvP server running that mod.
Again that would be like starting over for all of us though.

the times of "US" on raw is long time history. Nice try you put in time and efforts, but the raw server as it was is "no more". In my opinion, you have to start it totally new under a different name and i think also with a mod. Im traveling through certain servers and got characters on several of them. Vanilla is no more fun. There are some modded servers wich i like and i play there as well. If you dont have to discover new things freelancer is just boring. This game is quiet old now. Same thing over and over again. I still like to pvp but after a while it just gets boring. On modded servers its still kinda different even its the same what u do, but with different weapon lodouts and special equipment its different, especially if you can fly Battleships. I got stuck with my Galactica on TT in a Asteroid field, took me 2 hrs to get out. :)

I will still check on global list if someone is on raw and ill pop in. But if you really look at it, not much of the old servers left. They all suffered the same. I met a bunch of old Admins on other servers and believe me, they telling me the same story about their servers what happened on raw. Im not gonna go into details...

It was an unforgetable time. I made lotsa friends ond foes here. Im proud i was a part of the servers history when it was on top of the list. Good to meet one or the other raw player on other games and servers.

Salut...

Sorry about that Vero, seems my internet was acting up, and it went, how do you say it in Redneck technology........WONKY. My internet was down for 6 hours, and my cable was down for 4 hours.

Hopefully it will stay up for a while.

I literally spent years building up my accounts on raw, now to go someplace else and start from scratch...

I have billions of credits on raw, over 30 chars in VHFs, and several more in mules, daggers, falcons, etc. I have a char on raw with over 20,000 kills, and another with almost as many.

And, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, on raw I was someone, most knew of me at least. No, I never had a reputation as a great fighter, or a great anything else for that matter, but I belonged.

Going to another server means no chars, no money, no reputation, no prestige, and worst of all, all those years and thousands of hours on raw for nothing.

That's what I meant by my statement.

I can understand that. While some of those do not have a solution, quite a few people from raw now play on a server called Discovery, the RP 24/7 one. And would happily supply you with info, money and company. Indeed Vero is an admin there, as well as the JG and a faction styled after the outcasts except Corsair, run by Chase.

While I was never anyone important, it was hard being on a server where no one recognised me, but it does change, and now at least JG is recognised. And after a coming patch to disco, and the changes that will hopefully happen to the JG, we will be back to our old, uncaring selves. :D

In anycase it would be cool if you could swing by sometime while we are online, you might like it and it would be greating seeing you.
