Zone Match may be done/gone

In a thread over at the GPG garage it seems someone was asking about not being able to connect to zm and DragonTeeth12 replied:

I'm pretty sure Microsoft has stopped support for DS and LOA. I believe they've actually shut down ZoneMatch.

I tried zm and couldnt connect either. It may be that it is just down for a day or 2 but this time I am less then hopeful it will return.

*cant seem to get the quote function to work properly on the DT12 post.

Edit by Sharkull... fixed the quote (not "qoute") tags. Smile

As will I, but I am not entirely surprised by this. Was it not true that at one point, GPG announced they were finishing with ZM?

In any case this doesn't make it impossible for DS to be played online. All is not lost.

It remains to be seen if DS can rise back from its ashes and dissociates from DS2 and GPG.

It may not be down after all. I just tried right now and was able to get in. Though it took longer than normal and there were only about 20 games going. I suppose GPG doesnt know they dont seem to know much about their old DS games anymore.
