    Hey guys, my name is Zak Kee also play in |BoB| Brothrs Of Battle clan.

    First let me start off by apologizing for any spam perceived by this posting. Folks, here is the situation: We are a gaming company in need of gamers and not some guy in a office cubicle who has never gamed before or has no online gaming background. We can't find these kinds of people on Monster.com!

    Now what can the service do for you? Simply launch any game from Playlinc. Imagine playing WOW, doing quests and being able to not only talk in–game with free voice chat for up to 32 players each, but also IM friends on AIM/ICQ inside the game.

    Like to view sites that help you with quests. With our Game Overlay service you can surf websites inside the game!

    Like to start your own Free hosted server off High speed datacenters. Do it Playlinc for free in any US or European datacenters. Host popular games like CS, CSS, BF2, BF2142 (ranked) on us!

I am happy to say, not only is the service free, but the fact is that I did get hired as a Playlinc Ambassadors.

    Zak, This sounds interesting. I have a few questions for you.

    How many estimated players are currently signed up?

    If we create a game server, is it visible to players outside of PlayLinc through the standard game browser?

    How is this monitized?

    Looks like a lot of clans are getting this drive-by service. I dunno that the OP will be back to answer questions. I did a little Googling:

    http://exe.gotfrag.com/portal/story/33785/ - don't forget to read some of the comments. This is the best story I could dig up.

    Looks like it's Xfire on steroids. This has voip, buddy lists. . .makes use of A.I.M. . . I read that it's 30 megs installed, and it's 12.5 megs to DL. I'm also reading that they're gonna host game servers, and they'll have an ad-based revenue system (watch ads while waiting to load/join game).

    That's all I was able to dig up from a Google search. I didn't spend much time at the PlayLinc site, as I never trust companies to tell me about themselves, especially new ones.

    It seems to have some cool features. There is always a need for a good gamer networking (social) system that allows you to actually get to know the people you are playing with.

    For the most part, reminds me of my old days on the T.E.N system playing Quake Team Fortress back in 97 on dial.

    I did not read much more about it but xfire basically does what most games need, to keep track of their friends online. It has IM that works really well even when you are in game, and I really do not want to use another voice service when we have TS which works great.

    Since xfire stopped timing out on me I have grown to really like it now. 😉
