I think this it called a "Troll".
Any of the old time SEIV people can remember that game got some trolls at first too, just had to ignore them.

Whats a troll??

A troll is someone that registers on a forum wiht the express purpose of making an inflammatory post just to get lots of responses (and hopefully incite flame wars). Occasionally, an additional post or two along the way is needed to prod the trolling on, but most of the time, it is done so that the troll only ever has to make the initial post.

Though, it looks like this troll vastly underestimated the SE community.

Thats an understatement

After that post none of us were even at each others throat, we just expressed our opinions in a calm collective manner and backed up our thoughts and opinions

Hell I think we should thank this troll, this thread is already the 2nd highest posted in in the SF forum lol

One of the things that really impressed me before buying SE4 (about a yewar ago) was the forum activity. The game had already been out for quite a long time and I just happened to hear about the game after looking through www.the-underdogs.org (Not a game on retails shelves, for certain). There was more activity then than the day after any other game release I have ever played. That pretty much convinced me this was probably a good purchase and I wasn't disappointed!!

Rarely do I see trolls on this Board, but they are around pretty much everywhere else. I've had a hard time liking SF, but there isn't much more to say if I don't keep playing it. This Board brought me to Freelancer after reading the post, and for the most part, I am enjoying it. But it is getting rather dull and repetitive. Maybe this, alone, will bring me back to SF for another whirl. Who knows!!

I'm only playing the single player in Freelancer amd am at Level 11. At this point, there is little to do other than run several minor missions to level up so you can continue the story, then repeat. Upgrades to ships and weapons are rare, even at this level (So far, I have had 3 ship upgrades and 3 weapon upgrades). The game is still beautiful and the story interesting, but there isn't much flexibility.

(now why did I not like Starfury??)

I bought the game at CompUSA and the clerk told me the Online MP was the real hit. I should give it a go.
