A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Founded in 2010 by Phantom, Remains of the Republic has its roots in Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) for the PS2, becoming one of its most successful Europe-based clans.

In 2015-2016, we were active on the new Star Wars Battlefront (2015) game. Though just a group of friends playing for fun occasionally, we still managed to win the EU Cup in a tournament.

Every now and then we fire up our old PS2's to play SWBF2 again, all remaining players from the EU joining forces to play in friendly tournaments along with players from the United States, where there's a larger remaining user base.

These days, RoR mainly functions as a homebase where old and new players meet up to stay in touch and play Battlefront as well as other games.

Ziff Davis is shutting down GameSpy. It is currently unclear if the GameSpy server lobbies will be shut down as well.

It's possible they will continue to run under the management of IGN.

noble deeds. Then there’s the rest of the times you just want to blow shit up.

Let's just enjoy SWBF2 as long as we can, even if it comes down to not using gamespy profiles

As long as the lobbies aren't affected, I'm fine. The only difference between using a GameSpy ID and not using one is that you occasionally lose connection to GameSpy, forcing you to leave. I'm fine with just using normal profiles.

I <3 GameSpy! Immediately when I heard this I HAD to go to this place and just celebrate it because I know the little kids here among us.... - i'm talking about the kids who like to show off about how they drank more than 100 bottles of beer while being under influence of XTC, speed, heroin, cocain, Methamphetamine, Crack Cocaine, LSD, Opium, Marijuana, Psilocybin Mushrooms and PCP and again, while talking to 74 "hot chicks" on skype. Or kids who think they are some kind of wizz kidzzz when they start talking like they know a single thing about computers and how to fix them **cough** GOOGLE.COM **cough** - will crying and start talking like it's the end of the world and satan will show up and start penetrating their asses with his pointy tail.
And ofcourse the kids who I love most, the ones who will most likely reply like this: omfg fagg000t nooob come 1 vs 1 i pwn you hard nooob your mum!!! nooob omfg i say to admin omfg omfg noooobbb 1 vs 1 i pwn so hard you in ass nooob!!!! learn to play!!! i get super weapons and cheats and omfg i have 99999- 0000"

To make this whole story short: Fuck you to all the little kids here who are below 15 I hope you're gonna cry forever after they close down gameSpy and you realize that you're nothing without it.


Oh oh!

Good news, kind of. I found that the GameSpy server lobbies are currently being managed by "GameSpy Tech", which is owned by a company called GLU Mobile. This company has no affiliation with GameSpy. Apparently they just kept the name (probably since it's hard-coded into so many games). Support can be accessed through the "Powered by GameSpy" web site or facebook page. Below is a statment from GameSpy Tech:


There have been a number of reports regarding the recent discontinuation of service to several online multiplayer games previously supported by GameSpy Technologies. We recognize that fans of games where the publisher has elected to discontinue GameSpy Technologies support are frustrated. However, reports that GameSpy Technologies “shutdown servers without warning” are simply inaccurate.

GameSpy Technologies – a separate entity from GameSpy.com – is a service provider to game publishers. Each publisher contracting with GameSpy Technologies elects at its sole discretion whether or not to maintain support for its titles.

A number of our publisher partners elected to allow their contracts for GameSpy Technologies’ services to lapse by not continuing to pay for these services. In some cases this lapsing ranges back as much as four years. GameSpy Technologies has continued to provide months, and in some cases years, of service support for free. However we cannot be expected to provide a service free of charge to publishers who choose not to renew their service agreements and in some cases remain delinquent in delivering payment for past services.

In each case reported in the press where there was a discontinuation of GameSpy Technologies’ services, the applicable publisher was well aware that they had not made the required payments under their agreements with GameSpy Technologies.

For the sake of clarity - the situation is identical to fans attributing fault to the hosting company of a popular website for ceasing hosting services, when the website owner refuses to pay its hosting bill.

While we would hope and expect our publisher partners to message their user communities on changes in status of their games, often this is not done. The result is user confusion and frustration.

It is regrettable that these publishers chose not to inform their users of the impending discontinuation of support. We understand the frustration of fans that until now weren’t clear on why their game has lost some of its functionality, but hope that this clarifies the situation.


The game goes on for now. (Sorry Ninos)

i laughed pretty bad with this post xD
For each tank built in the world... 131k of Teddy bears are made
For each stock market that falls down... there are 10 versions of "What a wonderful world"
For each corrupt person... there are 8k donating blood
For each barrier that exists... there are 200k mats saying "Welcome"
While one scientific is making a new weapon... there are 100 million of mums making a chocolate cake
In the world, there's more monopoly money than dollards
There are more funny videos in the internet than bad news all over the world
LOVE has more results in google than FEAR
For each person that says "Everything is wrong..." 100 couples are looking for children
And for each weapon sold in the world... 20 million of people share a bottle of Coca-Cola
There are still reasons to believe in a better world.
