imho its a good thing to hand it over to someone who really cares ...
if i remember those wol crashes which took more than a day or a whole weekend ... and the speed and the bots etc ... ea just dont care, wol got a very low priority.
and i think its good that it is not in the hands of bhs, for a couple of reasons ...
one is that i think its never good to have everything in 1 hand, so bhs can focus on their patch and rg stuff and the others can focus on keeping the net alive

I may be wrong, but from what I understand there won't be a need for a "new" FDS or anything of the sorts. The way it was done before will be the way it is now.
From what I can tell, everything that has been happening is behind the scenes. Meaning we wouldn't even have known about it if they didn't announce it. Everything will work the same from the client side as did before, except now FDS serials won't mean nothing as they won't be checked to see if they are in use by anyone else (I'm sure they'll be other things that would be different... But again, we wouldn't know about them otherwise.)
Again, I could be wrong... That's just what I get out of it.

Just thought I'd let my opinion be known. I tend to agree with Crimson - I think it'd be hard for us to get service worse than WOL with EA, and I think that having different employees working on our online play will mean new ideas, new dedication, and new readiness to fix things for the better. Furthermore, I think that I can agree with those of you who think XWIS may not be fully prepared to handle all the players on WOL, but generally I think that people meet challenges better when they know in advance that they're in way over their head and that they're going to have to work really hard to get ahead. Yes, perhaps EA is shrugging off some extra responsibility towards the C&C community, but that's not really bad, since we weren't getting the attention we deserved from them anyway. I just hope that BHS will be able to help with XWIS and support the community in a more official capacity, and that things will stick together over a transition period that I think may be rather bumpy.

Well there is something going on today:
1) Wol can't retrieve server list
2) I go on Gamespy and I get a buffer overrun error and disconnected
3) If I make it in the game after 5 mins or so I get disconnected from Renguard and the game shuts down.
Very frustrating. Played hookie from work to relax and play a bit of Ren and all this. Oh well.
