New Games etc. UK by TedoDude on 05-03-2004 at 01:29 PM
I have got MSN Messenger 6.2 and have been submitting little replies about this - but I am getting no answer 
Is this because nobody knows?
I have got NO new games / emoticons in the UK, and the only new things i can see are the webcam change, emoticons as type, and change of Launch Site to Fun and Games, with different icon.
Any help?
Sorry if this has been asked before - just the search limits to 4 chars minimum - hard to search for 6.2 - you have to search for games and then there are loads of results
Extra note: Audio now works between UK and Canada in 6.2 unlike 6.1.

It's not that M$ forgot Europe...it's more that they don't care 
Generally they do leave you ppl out...sry to say. Can you play if someone from, say, North American requests it?

I just changed my msn profile to an american one got all the games now and I can get al teh chat rooms etc. if you don't want to do this just get the msn games patch for mess games. they have the US version of the launch site on their own launch site

So did I - no new games!

It doesnt matter where u dl it from..its al tied to wich country ur from that u put into ur profile/.NET passport
So in order to get those games u either change the country in ur profile/.NET passport or get the gamespatch at http://mess.be/
(i personally prefer the second option)

In short, it has nothing todo with your version or your language. It has to do with the setting of your geographical location in your .NET Passport settings; Not all games are available for every geographical location... So if you wanna have all the games, then you must set your geographical location to the appropiate location. This has no effect on other things (except, if you forgot your password, you need to fill in your geographical location, and of course, you need to fill in the one you set it to).

If i do this - is this legal?
RE: New Games etc. UK by Sunshine on 05-03-2004 at 05:45 PM
If u change ur country in profile/.NET passport i'd say ur lying.
The patch: not illegal, its not changing anything in the msn messenger program itself it just adds a few gamesmenu's and two tabs...1 for NEOWIN and one for this board (handy) 
RE: New Games etc. UK by Sunshine on 05-03-2004 at 05:58 PM
Make sure ur both using MSNcustomgamespack v.1.0.1 this one works with MSN messenger 6.2 the older one doesn't.

So, in short:
If you're talking about patching MSN Messenger then yes that's illegal.
If your talking about changing your .NET Passport settings, then no that's totaly legit...

About the fact that England have no games - whilst it advertises on http://messenger.msn.co.uk that we should have a game called "Hexic"
