I've been playing NFSHP2 on line for 6 years.
The last couple of days I've gone on-line for races (middle of evening, PST), there's no servers listed.
What's the deal?
No idea, you might want to keep up with this thread, as there's more folks there who play it online....
It seems they are setting up private servers for now. IP's are listed in the thread.
