Multiplayer Account ID Acquisition

Sun Aug 01, 2004 1:15 pm by Dark*Paladin

This is not exactly a technical problem, but this forum seemed like the place to post it. I am having a problem with trying to get a new Freelancer MP accont ID. For a some time my borther and I shared a Freelancer disk on my computer. Then my brother got another computer and I bought another Freelancer disk to play on my computer recently. The problem, I am having is that the game will not generate another ID for me. It keeps giving me the ID that was on my brother's cd even though I am using a different one. I wouldn't have problem with it except that I am trying to play on the same server as my brother (that is where all my $$$ is) and I can't play at the same time because it says that the ID is already in use on that server. Does anyone know how to get another Multiplayer ID?

That actually works? I tried that it and it says that it is an invalid account. I guess you have to do it randomly and get lucky. Oh well, I'll give it a shot. Thanks

I would think your problem is an internet connnection problem of some sort.

A FL MP ID# seems to be made from a specific hardware setup and the OS account. Seems to have nothing to do with the FL disk itself. Since the solution to your problem can be abused by cheaters, I will email you a solution. Hope it helps.

Ok thank you Earendil. I was hoping it was linked to the freelancer disk. I think is somewhat stupid that you can buy another disk and not get another ID. I actually thought it had something to do with the ip address. When you e-mail the solution send it to [email protected]. I think that is the one I have here at lancers, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the help.

@Omega Chief - It's possible the FL MP ID# is similar to the key code in WinXP. Lot's of digits, using many characters but not every combination is valid.
