Hello, I am sorry I do not speak Russian. I have read this thread using Google Translate. I found HeroesWorld.ru from the link to GameRanger earlier in this thread.
I am the creator / developer of GameRanger, and I would like you to try using GameRanger to play Heroes 3 online.
GameRanger currently supports Heroes 3, 4, and 5. Heroes 1 and 2 may be added later.
People are already starting to prefer GameRanger on HeroesCommunity.com. Last week there were nearly 1000 games of Heroes 3 played on GameRanger. That number gets higher every week.
IGZ:
- IGZ has not been updated in over a year. Many requested games have not been added (even with 75 votes).
- IGZ launches games slowly. (IGZ launches Age of Empires II in 10 seconds, GameRanger launches Age of Empires II in less than 2 seconds).
- IGZ cannot do ratings for Heroes 3 because Heroes 3 does not support that. IGZ can only do ratings for the Age of Empires series.
- IGZ does not solve router/firewall problems. GameRanger eliminates those problems.
- IGZ client is slow and lags. GameRanger is fast and lightweight.
Hamachi:
- GameRanger is safer than Hamachi because it does not expose your whole computer to others.
- Hamachi was not designed for games. GameRanger was designed only for games.
- GameRanger is faster than Hamachi because it does not use LAN mode, and it has automatic launching.
- GameRanger has no network limits, so it will never be full.
And of course, anything is better than GameSpy.
IGZ already has support for Stronghold Crusader, but no one plays it. Everyone plays it on GameRanger. Last week there were 3000 games of Stronghold Crusader on GameRanger, and GameRanger is popular with Russian people from
