Good news for the players of games set to lose their multiplayer servers with the closure of Gamespy: another company has stepped into the breach to scoop up and restore multiplayer services to them all.

Gameranger, a service started originally to facilitate multiplayer on Mac computers, is filling the gap to allow players of games like Grid and Battlefront 2 to continue to play online after Gamespy closes on the 31^st of this month. And what’s more, they aim to make the experience even better than it was before. They’re dedicated to fixing as many bugs as they possibly can for their new players.

Scott Kevill is the creator of Gameranger and says that his service can dig into the internals of the game to fix bugs, game-breaking or small, and also to hopefully improve on the overall performance of the games they now host. It was also developed to allow support for games, without the need for updates meaning players can just hop in and play. Kevill hopes that by taking on the task of supporting the games that he can keep their communities together instead of letting them fragment.

Gamespy closes at the end of the month, but it seems despite the questions about how the games that weren’t going to be moved to new servers would survive, everything is going to be okay. The remaining games are now in safe hands. Here’s hoping that the move can be made with minimal disruption to players.
