Paragon_Leon Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Since i don't play on the Zone, i'm stuck to sending out pm's to people, asking them if they are able to do a quick game. I only pm those that are online at that time. Last weekend i sent out... wait for it... 27 pm's to online people. I got responses from 8 of them. And about half of them could actually play. All of this begs the question; if the Zone is so bad, and we're down to playing IP-matches, how is that going to work properly if this is the current situation ? Do you play online and if yes, how ? Do you use the Online Playing Forum to get IP-matches ? Let us know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 hhhmmm this is an interesting one...the zone is terrible but unless i have pals online (we will then ip through icq), i will happilly play on the zone. The problem about using pms and the online playing section is that you never know when people are gonna check them. If you could come up with a better system then i would definately use it ahead of the zone. Although i wouldnt know how you could come up with a better system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 So far I've played ... 1 match on the zone wich I won 1 match ip against P_L ... I won, but both P_L and the computer didn't realize that ... okay, I admit ... I lost MSN messenger has an option Starting GB too ... I don't know if that's another way to start it. Never tested it. What I think would be cool is a Lucagames Messenger system. Kinda like msn or ICQ ... linked to your forum name. But that would be hard to make ... wouldn't it?

Guest Chad Skywalker Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 All the Zone is, is a big IRC for you to meet people. You are really playing an IP game, just not giving out your IP, it does that for you. So all you need to do is create an IRC chat or some form of chat room, and just advertise the heck out of it on all the GB boards to get people to come setup games. I mostly do IP games with friends, but also use the zone to find some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 The zone is terrible indeed. THe cursing in there and the chaos that other unleash when a Mod is not around...(Right now I am wanted by them;) ) I dont do IP games because you can get my ip number and hack into my ports. THere are hackers out there with IP sniffers and sifters. However I got a firewall but it dont guarttee your saftely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavyarms Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 well, I always use the zone. There are usually players that are horrible and don't listen to a thing, like I had a Dm rookies game and this guy rushed me 5 minutes into the game with wookies. The new zone system is ****. It used to be good, now it has gone down considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungan_Reble Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I play M/P games on the zone but it's no where near as good a service as it was with AOK. I cannot play IP games as my isp dose not support them I also play one to one Direct Modem games with mate's it's good practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoF_Reaper Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I play multiplayer on the zone,it works good for me.I play alot of games using the msn messanger start feature with clan members.The zone is a bad place to play if somone did come up with another way to play that could handle the amount of players the zone does and moderate the trash out unlike the zone id be there.

darth_shadow Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 ya i usually play at the zone to mostly but since i have a firewall it wont let me play it just lets me chat because the zone is primative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I hate the zone. I have this f'd up firewall that doesn't allow me to host cause i can't see anyone who joins after me, thus i have to be the last one to join (that sucks the most), and when i join a zone game, well, it scrambles the people, and i end up not joining last. So, IP is the only way I'm going to play Galactic Battlegrounds online. I think the instant messege system is the easiest way, i use AIM and MSN messenger. Add these names to your list: ATSTCommander@hotmail.com my MSN name RogueFifteen my AIM name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
