	Before hosting your own multiplayer session, it's probably worthwhile for you to take some time to familiarise yourself with the routes and to participate in a few established multiplayer sessions. This way you can get a feel for the capabilities of Trainz Multiplayer before you're lumped with the responsibility of assigning tasks to other users.

-==Trainz Multiplayer Public Beta==
+==Trainz Multiplayer Versions==
-Welcome to the Trainz Multiplayer Public Beta. The development team at N3V and our beta testers have spent much of the last year ensuring that we can provide the very best multiplayer experience possible for the Trainz community. This public beta is the final step in that long journey, where we make the beta software available to the community for final testing and feedback.
+This page contains information about Trainz Multiplayer in general. For information about a specific Trainz version head to the relevant page below:
-There are two important points to keep in mind when using the Public Beta. Firstly, it's a beta- while we've worked hard to ensure that your first experience is a good one, there are sure to be a few rough edges. If you're looking for a final, polished, product then it might be best to wait for a little longer. Secondly, while we're undertaking the beta in order to get public feedback, please keep in mind that we won't have the opportunity to follow up on every request before the official release. We consider Trainz Multiplayer to be an ongoing process rather than a final destination- feedback that is given during the Public Beta will be used to help shape the ongoing direction of Trainz Multiplayer after it is released.
+* [[TS12 Multiplayer]]
+Please note that Trainz Multiplayer games are not possible between TS12 and the TS2010 Beta.
