although i'm still pissed

[MatthewPapa]

I have the PXO code but it is a huge is a mess. Unless someone has made better significantly better progress than me its going to be a while until PXO is up and running.

dood, why don't you respond to my PMs

[Unknown Target]

Suing Volition for having PXO go down is like suing your parents because they don't have enough money to buy you dessert after dinner.


Seriously, the company basically gave us everything, including the source code for our favorite game, and you're want to sue them for PXO? Shut the hell up already, please.

[Stealth]

tell ya what Unknown...

maybe you should read the thread in its entirety before posting.  he didn't literally mean to sue.  he was just a bit pissed.

[aldo_14]

You'd probably have to sue Interplay (as publishers, I think the actual licensing terms are their legal responsibility, even if Volition had technical responsibility for PXO) anyways.  

Which would be about as useful as sueing a small ball of lint.

[karajorma]

Unless we settled for the license

[BlackDove]

License is worth a good couple of thou though.

[WMCoolmon]

The last thing that the license is going to go to is HLP. It'd have to go to an individual person; and I can't think up anyone off the top of my head that I can see it going to.

[BlackDove]

I do.

The problem is the cost.

I have newfound respect for you now..

I think they have a pill for that nowadays...


(Sorry, no offense Stealth, I just saw this and it came to me )

And in relation to earlier: Oops. I didn't read the entire thread, I just read his posts and replies, and the general connotation that I got was that he meant it. Sorry.

Disturbing.

[Stealth]

not disturbing; maybe he didn't know I played FS1 through to its final days?

i would've been willing to do it...

[achtung]

I think the acronym PXO makes people angry.  This thread is just starting to cool off.

[BlueFlames]

...PXO...

MAY YOU DROWN IN THE BILE OF TEN THOUSAND BOARS!

Sorry...  I don't know where that came from.  It's as if three letters pulled a trigger.  

[BlackDove]

Yep, that's about right.

At 56k when it was, and low ISDN's, that's the proper reaction to it.

[Stealth]

i swear, to this day i believe that if FS2 came out NOW, it would've been a lot more popular.  make that FS1 even.  part of the reason so many people stopped playing, was that 95+% of the people at the time had dial-up (including myself), and you couldn't find host a game with more than one other person in it, and even then you'd lag.  the few and far between that had cable always had to host, and then put their updates on 'High', and all the people that joined had to put their update son 'low'... it was a joke.  i would've loved to play some 4 or 6 player games nowadays, when everyone's got broadband
