Be aware that Empire Earth 3 ’s original online servers were shut down years ago. The GOG version supports LAN and direct IP connections, but you won’t find official matchmaking.

You may encounter websites claiming to offer "Empire Earth 3 Keygens" or free lists of serial numbers. Use extreme caution. Most of these sites are fronts for malware or phishing scams.
