Server to play?

[KEPTN Arthena]

Hello,is there any "private server" or something to play F.E.A.R Online? cu game is closed and i want play it again : /

[NeoLoboz]

No, stop asking for PS for this game since it was bad.

[KEPTN Arthena]

why U R so angry? i just ask,i liked this game

[Keyz]

yea I would like that too
We need a server provider tho but since this game has been terminated and there is no new content , they mostly wont host a server for this game.
Sad as it is , I gave up long ago asking for PS ;-;

I miss this game so much, even if theres no new content, just a few servers to play on, or offline or locally hosted would have been nice :/

Still a bad game, and you should be ashamed to even say you like it.

This game had an interesting FPS system. It was aweasome to do some frags there. I miss it.

Just because you don't like FEAR online, it doesn't mean that others shouldn't play it. It Project Origin based game why should I be ashamed if I like it?
I still hope for game return.

There won't be any private servers, because its violation of copyrights and WB/Aeria/Inplay will never let it happen.
Only ppl who able to do mods can add stuff from FO into some L4D2 or Skyrim.

I personally dislike FEAR 3, but i still liked FEAR Online. Modding could happen considering this is the same engine as FEAR 2's, but more modified.

As someone who has worked on private server emulation projects, the copyright issue is debatable for a game that is literally no longer playable. This game would require either a leak of the server-side software (which would likely be illegal to use) or a redesign of the server-side. Despite using the same game engine, the server-side is significantly different. If you independently create server-side software that FEAR Online just happens to connect to, that is not illegal. If you launch that server, modify the existing client-side code as a part of that project, and especially if you receive any sort of monetary compensation -- that's when the project clearly crosses the boundary of legality. There's a huge gray area in between that has yet to be fully resolved in the U.S. legal system at least.

I didn't like the game but that doesn't give me the moral high ground to claim that others shouldn't. Some people enjoy playing golf. I find it quite boring. Do I get the right to tell golfers they should be ashamed?

There's nothing here that would make a private server / emu project impossible, but there's also not anyone with the correct skill set and time available to work on the project that I'm aware of. If someone decides to make a serious attempt at starting a private server / emu coding project for this game, I'll definitely market it to my group of game preservationists and offer whatever I can.

Gaming is part of our culture and even the worst of games should be preserved in whatever capacity there is to preserve them, whether it be like this game (client-side files, patches, lots of videos and screenshots, and some written articles) OR like the Asheron's Call, Star Wars Galaxies, FEAR Combat, and other communities that have managed to return games to a playable state in modern times.

God I hope someone does this. FEAR's online multiplayer was so much fun with private servers and crazy duke nuke'em maps and stuff.

[Wanderwurst]

the Tpoic is dead... but i hope too. xD

[Grimsdottir]

Damn... I was hoping.
