The game was a feature of various gaming services over the years. Firstly as part of the Engage Games Online service, before moving to [[AOL]]. For a time, there was choice between the hourly billing method of AOL's game service versus the flat monthly charge offered by rival service Gamestorm. The game was also briefly available via the Gamezone network in Europe.
Magestorm is currently available to play at https://gamemodi.net/#magestorm.

When Electronic Arts purchased both the AOL Games Channel and Gamestorm, the game was shut down almost immediately in 2000. As compensation, players of the game were given free copies of [[Ultima Online]]. The game however was relaunched as Magestorm Millennium in 2001, on the Mythic-Realms game service, operated by Mythic Entertainment itself. It brought together the former two communities of AOL and Gamestorm and was one of the most popular games on the service, surpassing its spiritual successor, [[Spellbinder: The Nexus Conflict]], developed in 1999.{{cn|date=November 2023}}

The official server run by Mythic Entertainment is no longer available and was retired in January 2006, along with all other games offered on the Mythic-Realms gaming center excluding ''[[Dragon's Gate]]''.{{cn|date=November 2023}}
