Title: Wow... just Wow (Newbie Post)
Post by: LazarusLong42 on July 18, 2004, 03:49:23 pm
So, every so often I get a jones to blow stuff up.  Since I like my freedom, I prefer to do this in a virtual arena, but I can't stand Quake-likes.  So, out comes the old copy of FreeSpace 2.  But while the missions are interesting enough, multiplayer is always the most interesting and fun thing to do.

So, even though I've tried before and failed, I try logging into PXO.  Yep, it still doesn't exist.  

So, I start doing some googling.  And after lots of searches, I finally come across this place.  And all I can say is... wow.  This is awesome.  I can play multiplayer space-combat again, for the first time in... it seems like three years or so.  Y'all have made my day.

And even though I've had a couple of errors, I've found the answers to those problems here too.  I am happier than the proverbial pig in ****.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

It gets better. I don't know if you're fans of either but if you are imagine playing in the Wing Commander or Babylon5 universes online.  Both are on their way as Freespace mods. :)

don't get fs2 on ebay, get it from Home of the Underdogs, then check karajorma's FAQ and you'll be set up in no tme at all.

Alright, since none of you seem to be doing it, then here I go...
*takes deep breath*
Exits are to the sides and rear. Water guns are under the seats for what they're worth. One or two might even have holy water. If you encounter any Shivans while crawling in the air ducts, hopefully it's only Carl. Give him your lunch and hope he doesn't kill you with his fusion-cannon-thingy. Plasma rifles are located in the lockers up front. However, these can only be opened by [V], God, an Admin, or a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue. Do not try to enter the control room as it is guarded by Claymore mines. Thank you, and enjoy your stay!
Neat, I just welcomed somebody with the 'welcome speech'!:thepimp:

Welcome to HLPBB! The exits are to the rear and left in case of emergency and shotguns are located under your seats. Flamethrowers are available in the lobby for all flaming occassions. Please be sure to stop by our Sandvich Bar and enjoy some Bosch Beer and Space Crack. Also, knife fights are strictly prohibited in favor of much more interesting 20mm mortar duels and paper machete/jello wrestling.
