StarFarer.com.... wtf? Hot chicks in space, maybe?
« on: June 13, 2011, 11:27:55 AM »
Anyone know anything about StarFarer.com?  I was futzing around and tried that url to see if there was a slightly friendlier URL to share with people.  Apparently another game with this name is in dev, an mmog to be exact.  Hehe, the logos look straight out of the 80's.

As far as I can tell, that's a domain name squatter sitting on it and not an actual game in dev. The whole site is a single HTML file with some google ads. ... The early 90s just might be the last time that page was actually updated ;)

I do have http://starfarer.info registered and it points to fractalsoftworks.com, btw.

that happened at nexuiz once. the name of the site was ..., but if you typed in nexuiz.com instead, you got a japanese porn site. (I don't think it's like that anymore though)


Edit: removed offending link -Alex

That link you just posted was porn.

oh dang, really? I could have sworn it had been fixed, and both linked to the nexuiz site.

oh well, apologies all.

EDIT: also, apparently I got them mixed up.
