How do you find SPWaW servers ( IP addresses)

Post by OffWhite Tiger »

Is there a listing of IP address so that you can find games in progress!

The best place to go is the Combat Net - where you can meet folks up for a game. There are no "servers" per se, each host becomes its own server when a game is created.

What ever IP they happen to have is what you enter to conect so you really need to be in real time contact to get it going.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like many people are utilizing Combat Net.

I've logged in at all hours of the day (I'm in the US, EST) and have rarely seen more than one other person on. Usually, there is no one on, and once - just once - there were 6 or 7.

Hopefully the word gets out...

Again its a problem of critical mass... IF you check in and see no one and leave, the odds you will happen to check in when someone else checks in are slight, check in and stay for half an hour - even if you are the only one - and the odds are a group will accumulate.

Good idea, all that visit.. stick around for a while.. if there's more ppl just hanging around there there is a greater chance you will find someone interested in a game.

I think it's just a question of time before MGN becomes very popular with loads of visitors.
