So its 2010... and I wanna play XMP.
I installed it again and it crashed a few times before even loading a server list. I then updated it in the options and it seems to work.
I've played loads of games since I stopped playing XMP and nothing matches up. There seem to be a bunch of servers up so... lets play. =)

4 of the current crop of 5 are actually mine:
Penguin Power is a test server I'm running under Wine on on of my Linux dediboxes to see whether it's viable to do so. Basically I'm just looking for feedback on whether it's playable. The
