It is good to see another fellow MOO2 player - my brother and I also played MOO2 on hotseat for years (and later for a year or two on LAN when I got a wireless router).

I myself do not like playing on-line anonymously. And I can definitely understand why Stardock would not try to create a ‘battle.net’ type collection of servers for people to play/match on-line (for the record I don't want this and I don't think it makes economic sense). However, playing these types of games with friend
