| Hey, I've also submitted this to news but wanted to post it here so any comments could be made if wanted. FreeWorld is currently accepting signups for alpha testing (until the 14th of April). We have already taken over twice as many signups as we have in any previous signup (over 3,500 so far) and may have to close the signup early. If you want to have a try, or have tested with us before and want to have another look you can signup at www.freeworldonline.com/signup.php Some screenshots (click for larger version):       More screenshots can be seen here Background information about the game is available on the site, or try some of the fan sites from the links page for a bit more information. Also meet the community by going to the official forums or chat Thanks for reading, any comments? |

| I am kinda off about to get a new computer. I would love to particpate but I will not be able to start testing untill I get it but I shall sign up ay way will that be ok |
| ||
| The next signup won't be until about 4 or 5 months from now, but if you signup now you can play it at any time during the next few months. Oh, ment to mention the download size (as it may be a problem for some people). The full install is 105MB, and the minimum is 60.5MB (no music - but can be downloaded and installed seperatly) |
| ||
| did you fix the ZIP bug with with auto updater? |
| ||
| If u mean the one causing an unknown runtime exception, then no I'm afraid not. Although we did find that most people that got this installed the game in a place other than the default (which really shouldn't matter, no locations are hard-coded). Installing in the default location appeared to fix the problem in a lot of cases (not all). This problem will definelty be fixed at some point, but as it isn't effecting the majority of people it is not a priority. |

| I have played this, it is an excellent achievement and deserves everyones support who has time to explore the vast world that is FreeWorld! IPete2. |
| ||
| I think I will sign up later today |
| ||
| . |
| ||
| I would signup it looks brilliant, but the download on a 56K modem is a bit of a problem. |
| ||
| Ed, ask the guys for a cd or something see if they can oblige if you cover costs. IPete2. |
| ||
| erm, u can ask another tester but the dev team will not offer that.. think how many ppl would then say "but u did it for him" :P Most of the download sites offer resuming, if thats any help. |
| ||
| I will have to dig out the mail and see if it still downloads =), who knows given the current net speeds in this neck of the woods ya might see me on there in 2072 ;) |
| ||
| Download links will be being sent out very soon |
| ||
| KD - I still love playing Freeworld when I can. How much is written in blitz now and how much in other laguages (C++ i presume) ? Keep up the excellent work. I find it fascinating seeing how the whole thing is developing and cant wait for the next stage. Zace. |
| ||
| Currently everything has been done in blitz, patcher, login, game, server, editors, etc... however I will be doing the server (if nothing else) again in C++ There are some issues with Blitz TCP/IP support (that I have posted about and email Mark about) still in existance that demand this.. although for speed reasons I would probably do it anyway. |
| ||
| Awesome. Is your server graphical at all or is it all number crunching etc? |
| ||
| I get errors every time I sign up it say It can not send the e-mail and I am sure it is right |
| ||
| Zace - basicly just a number cruncher, all it displays is chat and other message, input bar and some statistics Agamer - what email address are you trying? |
| ||
| The one I have with this acount click on my name |
| ||
| Ok, i tried your email and got: Error: problem when communicating with server - Unexpected response: 421 mk-cpfrontend.uk.tiscali.com Service not available - too busy - after connect Our server tries to send the e-mail directly to your ISPs email server, thats the response its getting when it does that. Its likely to be working later, or perhaps try a different email. |
| ||
| Treid it this moning and it now works. That was the same message as I was receving. |
| ||
| Good, if anyone else gets a similar problem it is usually only temporary like it was for agamer Also you can now download the game, goto www.freeworldonline.com/downloads for a list of servers. If you haven't signed up though, do that to, you need an account to be able to play (their being sent out this Friday). If you have already signed up you should also recieve a welcome email soon with some getting started information. |
| ||
| I've tried a few times but never recieve this e-mail it tells me I should be looking for. |
| ||
| If you have junk mail filtering check for the emails there, if you want I can check the status of your signup if you give me the email address you're trying to signup with (you can email it to [a mailto:support@freeworldonline.com]support@...] if you prefer not to post it) |
| ||
| If anyone else is wanting to signup, then I'm afraid its too late... no exceptions. Thanks to all those who did signup, and I look forward to seeing you in game in a couple of days :) |
