Open beta began on June 21 which allowed AOL players in the game for the first time.

At the beginning of 1997, AOL moved to flat rate pricing which caused a dramatic spike in Fed players.

AOL later wanted to cut ties with Federation, forcing the game to move to the web.

In the end of November 2003, a disk drive failed on the Federation server causing the site to go down.
