I still can't login.

It uses these hostnames. All resolve and are listening on port 3074 but I can't tell what the problem is since the traffic is encrypted.

WORMS.STUN.EU.DEMONWARE.NET
WORMS.STUN.US.DEMONWARE.NET
worms-180.auth.mmp3.demonware.net
worms-180.lsg.mmp3.demonware.net

Haven't been able to log in for a couple of days now.

Any chance someone can go bounce the server or something...

Believe me, they saw our posting but donīt want to answer.

I wrote PMs to parsley & Spadge from Team17, but they donīt answer.
They were logged in often here in the forum but they donīt answer.

This sucks and isnīt good support!!!

Come on Team17 members, say whats up, is the server time for PSP over or will it come back?

Or is there a new Worms for PSP in the Pipeline?

It's been a while since wormnet doesn't work and still no news from team17, seems they don't give a damn about online players...

They're probably too busy with their new titles but shouldn't forget wow2 though

Chrrayden

Word!!!

If they are making a new game, How could they top it WoW2?
I think a free for all mode would be fun, Or Mini games!!! Yeeeeaaahhhh...<(".v)


I hope all the new profiles I created didnt go through. If so Boogerz will be my new profile name! aye! Aye! AYe! AYE! AYE!!! v(0 )/

They make new games for X-box live and PS3/PSN, but they give a **** to PSP users!
If you think they make a new worms for PSP your are wrong.

Hey Team17, you can close threads and open new Topics on the News section, so you can also give news whats up with the PSP server!
Donīt you have enough money to pay the server or what?
Why is the Nintendo DS server still allive?
Is Sony the reason for the switch off?
Rumours over Rumours...

Financial crisis on Team17?

I read on the web that THQ was in deep trouble, surviving chance 50/50, is this the reason for the Servercut?

If this is the reason we understand it, but no infos is a slap in the face of all Fans!

Remember: Fans = Customers = Money

If you have a complaint about the WOW2 servers, please consult THQ Inc, who are the publishers of the title and are responsible for the agreement with Demonware (i.e. the servers). Unfortunately this is outside of Team17's control, as we don't control them.

On any occasion where Team17 have had the ability to keep legacy title servers going, we have done so (running some for 10yrs or more).

For your information, we have tried to contact THQ about this but have not had a response either.

Thanks for this info, Spadge!

THQ is really in financial trouble, so the chance, that the PSP server comes back is really low.

Anyway, time to contact THQ:

www.thq.com

I send an email to them, but if all players mail, the chance maybe bigger, so come on and send mails to them!

Indeed, I don't actually think you've ever shut any game servers down, right back to Worms 2, which was, I believe, your first game with online servers, (which is why when I thought you were running these servers, I was quite surprised), so it's good to know it isn't you who have broken that record.

Thats too bad, I just discovered that the servers are down. I havent played this in a while and now the only reason I was goin to play it is gone. :(
Would it possible to transfer the servers to Team17? Or am I demonstating how little I know about how servers work?

Spadge

I don't think so. Its further complicated in that Demonware (who hosted the servers and its their online tech) were acquired by Activision some time back.

Muzer

It depends how the game works. Most modern games are designed to operate with only one server (whose URL or IP address are hard-coded) and have no provisions for redirection of the connection to another server. I suppose if it uses a domain name rather than an IP address in the code, the domain name could be bought by Team17, but I doubt that will happen, especially if the URL has something about demonware, THQ or activision in it.

Wow. That was cold.

Is THQ protected against this, was there any contract breached, does the game documentation explain that online play may not be available after certain time from the release date has passed?

I'm just curious.

dapope

OK... that's bad news.

Now i'm thinking what to do with this game? I probably won't play it anymore if there's no online playing... Let's hope team17 will figure a solution??

Otherwise i'll hopefully meet you guys with worms on PS3.

There is no need for this game without online Mode, so I will sell it soon...

Now I moved back to Bomberman Online for PC.
