Remembering Ship Simulator 2008...

I just remembered how good, sophisticated, convenient & charming Ship Simulator 2008 was! 
Much better than Ship Simulator Extremes in so many ways, except maybe for the water visuals.
Anyone else plays it still?  User-hosted multiplayer?

I see on forum stats the community started to lose interest in this place around 2013 & since 2015 the process of decline went stable. As if SSE didn't deliver what the community expected, much of stuff from SS08 got worse in SSE, disadvantages in SS08 stayed solid in SSE too. So the interest faded, I guess?
I know this place used to be overcrowded & so alive back in 2008-2010.

Trying to dock in to that certain place like I did back in my multiplayer days in 2009...

If anyone could set up a working Ship Simulator 2008 that'd be awesome!

Use this to get multiplayer back. You won’t have the list but use manual connect when a server is online.

[CapnCrane]

Thanks, it worked except for no servers in the list.

Connect to  [REDACTED] : 6090 to join the server

Enjoy

Hi Willis,
I was busy whole day & when I finally was able to open the game (at night!) the server was offline.
Let me know at which times the server is online or was it a single try at it while the SSE server is the usual online one?

Hello CapnCrane, I’ll start up the server in 20 minutes. Use the same IP and port from above

Is someone able to make a multiplayer server? I’m unable to spawn in mine. Thanks

2 or 3 years ago I managed to keep a SSE server up and running 24/7. It lasted for a while, until I had to move to a smaller place. I don't have enough space for the server anymore. Hopefully this will change by the end of 2025. I plan on rebooting the server then. Maybe I could run a SS08 server too. It depends if my friend Stormforce will be able to show me how. He's the real technical genius after all!
