Gotta be honest: This article got me misty-eyed multiple times.<p>This is what I find cool about Freelancer (and games like it). There are STILL a decent amount of Vanilla and mod servers out there, and that game came out in 2003.<p>This is one of the big reasons I don&#x27;t play much multiplayer anymore, other than Minecraft. There&#x27;s no permanency and no assuredness that what you put together with your friends will be around tomorrow. I know my minecraft server is always going to be running and my friends know it too, we&#x27;ve built amazing things there because of it.
