Hi,

It is very cool to hear that we have 2 new players joining GCK in a week. It is also very cool to hear that you speak English :D because it will make our communication easier. Sadly though, you didn't need to download maps and gamespy. Nowadays we have only 2 servers 24/7 and they have their own limited map pool. So, you don't need all of the maps. You just enter a server and if you don't have the map running at the moment, Giants will automatically download it in seconds. Another thing: nobody is using Gamespy now .-. We still do play, although we have very little players and it is a rare situation to meet more than 8 people. Usually we play in the evenings, GMT. If you want to know if there is somebody on the server just download Giants desktop client from http://gckms.no-ip.org/lobby

http://gckms.no-ip.org is a site where you can see if there is anyone on the 1st server: Giants Dedicated Server, but it is more comfortable to check it from the desktop client. The other server is GiantsWD.org. We play on both of them.

We hope you will join us in the game! I also reccomend our YouTube channels, where we put Giants gameplays and crazy stuff:
-oldgamers100
-oldgamers101
-oldgamers102

Yeah, the names are pro .-.

You have to download the 1.497 BETA patch to play online. After it is installed you should see the server up when you try and join a game.

Here you can find the patch. It's the second download.

There are still some players roaming around. And we sometimes try to organise games here. Some players use steam to contact other players.
