GAMERANGER ONLINE

GameRanger is an Internet gaming program that enables users to organize and play games, discuss strategies and even exchange some tricks and ideas. The longest running multiplayer online gaming service, having originally opened to Mac gaming in 1999. In November 2008, GameRanger expanded to PC gaming and now offers full lobby support for over 600 games -- significantly more than any other multiplayer service -- and now has over 5 million members worldwide. GameRanger Technologies is located in Perth, Western Australia.

GameRanger provides multiplayer for over 600 PC games. Many of these games either had their original servers shut down ("end-of-life") or had massive networking problems with their existing systems.

More recently, GameRanger has become a popular solution for game developers distributing their games across multiple online stores without being locked into a multiplayer "walled-garden" on a single store. GameRanger allows friends to play each other, while still having freedom to choose where they buy their games.

"When you've bought a game you love, you should be able to keep playing it with your friends regardless of how many others are still playing," said Scott Kevill, president of GameRanger Technologies. "Server shutdowns, 'sunsetting' and 'kill-switches' are the dark side of multiplayer gaming."

GameRanger keeps multiplayer games alive by reversing the multiplayer decline and creating thriving communities.

Key Features:
  • Supported games: in its first release in 1999, GameRanger could only support 11 game titles. For this new version, gamers can profit from no less than 600 titles enabling them to find online demos with all friends and opponents.
  • Account and friends: apart from the ability to play several games and managing them, GameRanger can also be used to create an account and a profile (compulsory). The Gold membership (Paying) can supports up to 500 buddies.
  • Chat rooms and voice communication: to exchange advices and game strategies, GameRanger users are free to talk with other friends. This can be done via text messages of chat rooms or via voice call.
  • Ladders/rankings and ratings: at any time, gamers can check for their past and present score in all different played games. This process can be done via simple clicks of the mouse. Scores can be shared to other gamers.
  • Noobs Paradise

Advise for newcomers

GameRanger is the mecca for noobs if you are an experinced C&C veteran I suggest you stick to Revora. Overall, a friendly server for beginners, noobs and mids alike.
Is also a great Server for a relaxing gameplay where you battle players at your own pace, level -- not intense, very relaxing and enjoyable. Great for a Saturday and a Sunday night play.
