Is the online completely dead?

[redgroupclan]

I'm on 1.2 patch, which I thought would bring up some servers to join, but I don't see anything in the lobby. I also get a [Null] message when trying to mess with Gamespy ID. Is the game so old that the Gamespy ID thing has been thrown away and absolutely no one plays anymore, or am I just having some technical issue?

SWBF1 online via gamespy is no more.
Gamespy got bought out and the SWBF 1 masterservers are all down.
(I'm not sure about BF2 or the PS2 stuff.)

There are still folks playing via vlan on Tunngle and GameRanger.

Here's some info on how to connect:
Battlefront with Tunngle
SWBF via GameRanger

Does anybody even bother to play anymore then?

There are still folks playing.

I am an old PS2 player, so I don't know what kind of numbers you are expecting, but there always seems to be people on the Tunngle servers. Not hundreds... but they are still there.

Personally, SWBF 1 is the only game I play online. But I don't play much, so I'm a bad example.

If you go on the http://swbfgamers.com homepage it will show a little rectangular block that tells you how many people are online.

EDIT: This picture shows how many people are online RIGHT THIS SECOND.
