Before GOG release - yes, many. After - Blizzard mess with new server. Also, new server Global ("realm") is not same as old 4 realms. And non-GOG buyers not have access ti new one. GOG buyers have access to old if edit regedit\delete new realm.

Later Blizzard shutdown Global few times for some time. Affect Diablo as well. Now i guess every official is empty. Previously it have some people online, very few ones. Now it literally 1-2 persons who see empty and go to server war2 ru.

Im personally even contacting il2 (current admin of war2 ru) still think them warez repack not needed. But you can only download gateway editor to add server war2 ru to GOG version - they make it compatible with GOG build.

GOG still is alive just at specific times for now, but more and more people are joining us so eventually it will be more regularly.

We play every weekends both saturday and sunday starting at around 3pm cest you can meet up with the guys that play on GOG battle.net over on my discord as some do meet to play during the week too.

I also stream our games on twitch over at twitch.tv/trogallart

Go to the active war2.ru server. Theres always people playing. Google it and download their version. Very simple. Costs nothing

1) Not everyone wants to play on ru especially not people that play with me on GOG these days.

2) Do not tell me what to do, feel free to play where ever you want, I personally have very good reasons to keep playing with people that want to play with me on the GOG server every weekend.

3) I am glad you have a great time playing wc2 over there on RU though there is nothing wrong with the state of the GOG server as it stands. It is exactly the same Bnet was in 2000 which is fine by me.

Then again if you want more or a different experience feel free to play where ever you want RU, USA, Wargus, I do not care. Wc2 comes in many flavors just like OpenRA and Remastered CNC feel free to pick your poison. Maybe however keep in mind that OpenRA was officially recognised and RU is not and is still pretty much piracy.
