Can anyone tell me why microsoft shut down the multiplayer room? because i got fs04 AFTER the room was shut down, so i havent tried it yet. oh and theres also that slight inconvenience that the only reason i am even on the internet is that im hangin round after school because my dads a teacher, BECAUSE I DONT HAVE INTERNET AT HOME ANY MORE!!! that hurts a bit!

Can't remember why 'the zone' closed down anymore, but these days I make do with FShostspy to let me know who's on when & where, it's a free download that show's you who's on what FShost server & the details needed to join in.

Get it here: http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy/

Other than that, I check out what is coming up on our very own SimV server right here in the Multiplayer section.

Cheers,

TSC.

The zone was shut down mainly because of lack of use, too much instability in the sessions, and the installation process [just to use a particular game in the zone] was rediculous. On top of that, many sessions in the zone tended to fill up too quick. Above all, many users found that it's better to go into the IP-based servers such as WSPilots' and SimV's servers; better stability, no need to install files to use the servers, and hosting a server got better since the introduction of FSHost.
