Oh.. I dont know. Maybe play 2.0 on steam?
I'm awaiting information myself.
A few friends tell me it should be up for 2 or 3 more months because of some issues reguarding CS1.6.
Guess a big key indicator will be when we get that big update that steam asks for money.

sincerely, is it possible to ignore people in these boards?
I tried played NS 2.01 with Steam, and it kept crashing. Since I refuse to install HL twice (HL and Steam), I will wait for Steam support in 3.0.
Yes, and I think we ALL know how good Valve is with dates. Not that I don't love them of course. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't really expect WON to be down for long time, there are just too many people who play it and love it. Once it does go down I don't think the number of people playing HL mods will ever be quite as high as they were in the haydays of WON. That is, until HL2 comes out of course.

yes, the single guys at valve are getting back at the world for being stood-up on blind dates. j/k
What exactly is so wrong with WON that it has to be replaced with Steam? I have not been keeping up with halflife recently

its not so much that WON is bad its just that steam is easier for valve to update with. Not only updates but games will be released over steam and you can download them right from the network. It's basically a store/game manager. Won on the other hand is just a service provider for listing all the ns servers. It's also a bit dated and time to move on. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ahh. Seems like steam might be good, provide all the bugs Ive heard about are worked out
Until they fix all the glitches with steam and it's a dependable way of playing Half-Life, they won't shut down WON.

Also, steam is another way for VALVe to make money--they'll be charging for certian services. Credit card and expiration date please.
IIUC(if i understand correctly), Sierra(/some company but not valve) owns the WON net, so they just gave valve the info... I imagine it would be like this: "We will shut down WON, but we will give you time to get a replacement. Do so now." And they make Steam. Which is really better than WON, except for the 56k unfriendliness. I think you can ask Talesin for a more detailed account on how extremely much worse WON was than Steam is now.

More like the guys at VALVe saying "hey, why are we paying £££££ a month to some company that published one of our games? We should just make a program that could authenticate our games instead of using Sierra's WON servers".
On top that they now also have a content delivery platform that VALVe can sell games over, thereby cutting out the middle man so they make even more £££.

Excuse me but you indeed are a lamer..
check the public beta forum..
acctually you can use the original NS 2.0 with steam..
HEHE
Funny you should ask. I think I'd like to know, myself.
But that could be just because I play 2.01 on Steam all the time, with no problems other than the server drops, which aren't too hard to counter.
Oh, and none of the servers around these days use C-D, for some reason, even though it does work with Steam now. That kinda sucks. I know it'd take care of the Yolt problem.

correct sir!
I belive that WON will remain up until steam is perfectly ironed out [no huge **** bugs, and having leauges move to steam will be a sign] or HL2
whicher comes first...

Fun to watch. Not fun to play in.
Since most servers kick you if you enter spectator mode, this makes Yolt a problem.
