My friend Zancarius(alias Ben to those that know him) has found something online that might help break up some nights of boredom.  He found a fix for the old Tribes 2 game that allows us to finally play that game again online.  The game used a crappy concept of requiring some auth server to be able to play it online.  When that auth server went offline, it made the game totally useless.  They didn’t patch out that auth server check for the cd key so the game had no way of being played online.  Enter TribesNext.  Seems a guy came up with a ruby based fix to allow us to play Tribes 2 again.  And if you didn’t have it before, now you can download it and play it for free with his fix.

I haven’t had the opportunity to try all of this yet since I’m work but this all sounds promising since I always liked Tribes in the past.  Had some great multiplayer matches in that game but their company went down the wrong road and tanked the series and themselves.  I can’t run a linux server with this fix but I can run a server under wine since the windows server should work just fine.  I might post back later about what progress I/Ben have with this.
