Freelancer is arguably the most important game in PC gaming history for the future of the beloved space genre. It has been out a full day and I found that absolutely noone was playing online when I searched for internet games. Somebody please tell me that it is a problem with my internet connection!!! If not, it means that noone is buying Freelancer and the end of the genre is near.!!!!

Victory, you say?
The end was in 1999. Every space combat sim after WCP failed in some level... FS2, Tachyon, Starlancer, X. Was Phoenix even released?
Of course, they can rise from the dead. Until recently, the RPG genre was pretty much dead. But then a game came and created a new RPG fever.

The new RPG that came out and revieved the genre was Diablo. Most features that separate Freelancer from other games in the genre are taken from Diablo. Computer Games magazine's preview of Freelancer (current issue) has its developers mentioning Diablo at least 5 times as inspiration.

Yes it was. I bought it for $2 or so recently. Doesn't run on my machine however. Either I get about 10 FPS (D3D) or the game crashes (Glide) or it is ugly as hell with a resolution that looks like 320x240 (but claims to be 640x480).
Didn't bother to play it because of that.
