The melBG Backgammon Server is online!
Play online
against human opponents, and against computer programs.
Connect using any FIBS-compatible client, with 'server.melbg.net 4321' in the
server setting.
This server is developing rapidly, supporting most essential FIBS
commands.
Because we are developing, sometimesyou may need to re-create your login.
Please spread the word - the more players logged in the better.
We'd like you to use your real name (or part of it) as your
playing identity.
That we we will develop a sense of community and friendship.
FAQ
In 3dfibs, the program freezes after I enter the new
username and password.
Close the program and restart - you'll be able to log in.
How do I set up my login using javafibs?
javafibs works perfectly - use the 'new user' command to set up your username.
When I log in using 3DFiBs the program goes into
a loop and I can't progress
We're working to fix this. Meanwhile, log into FIBS and then the program will
work with the melBG server
If you have difficulty connecting, playing or setting up a new account
