That was probably my post. That never happened because there was a lot more work than he initially anticipated. I recommend just keeping an eye out on his website for updates.

Work is being done.

We will be doing the initial testing ourselves, until everything is working.

As was said in petter3k's last post: it's being worked on, and there'll be an announcement once everything's working up to par.

I'm not directly involved in any of the AFO server-side stuff, but I can assure you that things are moving along.

Some footage of the game being played online in 2001 was recently uploaded to YouTube. It's a little pixelated but it's cool to see what the game is like when played online. There's even some voice chat.

I seen that over on online consoles. Now only if the voice chat is even remotely as good as the official severs though.
