Good evening,

Here is something you have been expecting for a long time; you asked for it, we did it!
The Ubuntu and Debian packages and repositories for PlayOnLinux are finally signed.

To add our key to your distribution, under Debian, run this command :

Also note that the Fedora repository has been updated to use the same key.

The PlayOnLinux Team

Good evening to you all and my apologies for being a little late in translating this news.

A new facet of the PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac project has been unveiled. We want to provide you with the means to enjoy your games in the best possible environment, and that includes online games!

As such, in addition to the technical solutions to help you play on your favorite OS, PlayOn* will now provide you with game servers. We already have servers up for Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Garry's Mod and TrackMania Nations Forever (two servers)! We also have a Minecraft server that you can join.

Here are the corresponding server IPs:

• 95.130.9.82:27015: CS:S multimods
• 95.130.9.82:27045: L4D2 20slots!
• 95.130.9.82:27060: TF2 Classic-Arena
• 91.121.96.138:27016: Garry's Mod PERP
• TMNF: /France/Aquitaine/Gironde/ : 2 servers (1 techspeed and 1 fun)
• 87.98.166.53:25565 : Minecraft beta 2

We also allow acces to a Mumble 1.2.x server on 95.130.9.82:64738, no password. Come talk to fellow gamers and enjoy the essence of PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac: the GAMES! [translator's note: there may be an abundance of French speakers, so please keep that in mind and be respectful of everyone's origins!]

Of course, if you experience technical problems or have suggestions for games or otherwise, don't hesitate to post them on the forums: in this thread

Wishing you lots of fun on these servers,
super_g2

P. S. More surprises are coming! But we can't tell you what right now...

Good evening,

We have two games for you this time: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and Two Worlds II.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light:
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is an action-adventure game. It is of course a continuation of the most famous video game heroine's adventures. There's however something very new in this installment: a coop mode allows you to have a second player tag along, who will play a mysterious Aztec warrior while you take on the role of Lara Croft. That's a first for this franchise!



For details, visit the PlayOnLinux forum HERE.

Two Worlds II:
Two Worlds II is a medieval-fantasy role-playing game that takes place in the realm of Antaloor. You play the same hero from the previous game, 5 years later, this time held captive by the mysterious Gandohar. Your hope of seeing your sister again is ever-dwindling, until the day your sworn enemies the Orcs set you free. Take back your freedom and fight the forces of evil, and you might shed some light over Gandohar's dark past.

Good evening,

Before earning fame from the Worms franchise, Team 17 delivered several great games in the '90s, mostly on Amiga. They are the Brit geniuses who gave us, among others, an excellent beat'em all called Alien Breed. Now a classic, the game deserved an HD revival, like many of the company's titles. Well, you can check that off your list since you can already listen to the machine-gun melodies in Alien Breed: Impact's infinite space.



For details, visist the PlayOnLinux forum HERE.

Also, thanks to Benj's contribution, you can now enjoy EverQuest II Sentinel's Fate.
