For a while now, I've had Freeworlds sort of on my mind. Was captivated by the videos from 2014 and whenever, was even in the Steam group. But like many, I sort of forgot about it, or assumed it was dead.
For the first time now, I've come by to check it out-- great! I look forward to exploring the systems, taking nice screen-shots and videos, so on.
A couple of starting questions, however. First, I've also got DiscoveryFL, and am wondering if installing Freeworlds will interfere with that at all. I found that when I had Crossfire, Freeworlds just wouldn't launch. Had a Shaders issue.
Second... who is, well, around? When I had the launcher open, there was a grand total of one player online. The latest post in the general discussion is from August 15th.
Is it worth holding on to some optimism of a future with a player-base? Freeworlds is just too great to give up on.
