General Discussion / Hope for Forgotten Servers

If you're having trouble finding servers online - I suggest the FH2 forum members download and use a game application like Steam or Xfire - I personally don't like proprietary game software much, but I have to admit it's very useful for finding people to play games that don't have many servers online.
Download Steam Here
Note: You do not need a steam-based game to have the app and an account. The program gives allows you to make a friends list with people (like from this forum)
Download Xfire Here
I have never used xfire myself, but some people I trust have recommended it.
You can also use LogMeIn HamachiĀ² if you understand how to set up a LAN network. This program basically allows you to set up a LAN network over the internet. I use this with all my friends and find it very useful - and it's free!
Download LogMeIn HamachiĀ² Here
Both managed and unmanaged modes are free for public use.
What I recommend is everyone on this forum use Steam or a program like it to make a friends list of all the other people from the board - and if you can't find a suitable FH2 server, just log in to Steam and send IMs to other members online, and then set up a Hamachi network to play the game over the VPN.
