Haven't tried it myself, but it seems to work for many. If you have problems, there are forms at the above site as well.

Have fun

lol
We just need to get the points across that we want it to be a single payment and a free world to do what we want lol.

I really do dislike it when game companies say they will do something and you get to be free.....everyone still ends up doing the same thing lol.

That's right. Be able to play the game on the raggedy edge.

Might be the first and only online game I play.

Well, you can't exactly blame the game company if they allow people to do what they want and then the people don't.

NO what I mean is that, they offer a wide range of gameplay, but people do the same old thing becos that is wot u can only do.

I mean bascily all u do is the same thing and go the same place, but what I hope a firefly verse would offer is different paths, either like Captain Mal and the rest, or join the Alliance, or run your own planet.

I understand what you're saying, but I think that I must point out that you're contradicting yourself here i.e. Offering a wide range of game play implies that people can do what they want, but then you go on to say that they can't.

At any rate, I agree that they are going to have to offer something more non-linear to grab and keep Browncoats.

No no, what i am saying is that in most online games I see companies or at least i see things saying that you can do what you want, shape your own destiny.

But I played some EVE online, and iv talked to people who play many online games, but so far there are none which allow you to do that, as you mostly end up doing the same thing and ending up in the same place, all aiming for the same title.
(EVE online, you could become a Pirate, or you can do missions like everyone else untill you join a corp - I would look for a corp which is active, i mean proper fleet battles and wars)

Now there are a few I can point out which work, Face of Mankind i have not played but sounds good and gives a range of options for what YOU can do.

Now, I think Firefly is a PERFECT chance for these companies to show off, to create something which basicly operates like normal life.
Like you can download or buy, register, create character, then start off trying to earn money, either taking Jobs, finding employment of both legal or illegal sorts, or enlisting for Alliance military, or even staff for some serious building.

Maybe train your character in a particular field like, fire arms, piloting, mechanics, medicine, leadership, religion, companion, trade, buisness, war, money, management etc....

I mean which allows you to follow Mal's path or you can become the next Badger, or the Next Alliance Agent or commander to try and snatch Serenity and her crew (well other outlaws in the game).

What I am saying is that I seen few online games which allow you to do what you want to do, which allow you to shape things your way and give you that feel of actualy being there.
And that Firefly/Serenity is exactly that chance to give us, browncoats and gamers that exact feeling!
