I don't know of anybody who's really used it lately, sorry.

Frankly, TCP mode just dosen't make much sense for a large-scope turn based strategy game like the SE series... Trying to organize five or more players to all be online at the same time, and then getting a mere handful of turns done...

Instead you can spend an hour playing your turn when you have time, and download the next turn when it is available.

Playing by FTP is the main method being used for SE5, and the PlayByWeb server is great for SE4.
