Field notes
OpenLobby combines a fan-operated game server with an archival request aimed at recovering update data from old PlayOnline installations. The site specifically mentions Windows and PlayStation 2 copies, and warns that drive images or folders may expose PlayOnline IDs and saved credentials. A current JongHoLow event supplies an immediate community activity rather than leaving the project as a purely historical archive. Users must provide their own game copies; the project says it does not host game files.
