Stop acting like retards, I think it's just a normal WOL fall-out, XWIS itself still got the NAT problem.

Olaf said not this week.....good luck on getting any information more than that out of him....

That's because there's not more to tell. The date hasn't been decided yet.
I've no idea what empathy means.

Anyway, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge are also down, so you're not alone.

empathy means to show a little understanding that our favourite game is being reemed into the ground in a combined effort by EA and XWIS.....If you had said: "Not this week, I am sorry this is not very informative, but I know no more than this, as soon as I do I will post again. Thank you for your continued patience." I would not have flamed you! Empathy is consideration of others and the fact that people do NOT like being kept in the dark as to the current situation. Just telling people not this week is not a very good service or attitude...can't wait to see if it improves or not when the change over does happen. But since you are going to get Renegade (as well as YR and Red Alert) I hope you will show a little more professionalism!

I'm not asking too much, just keep us informed please, no vague posts and no continued posts of "Still not gonna happen" because we can figure that out for ourselves!

Thanks!

You know there's this thing called spelling and grammar. Research it.

okay so I just read over 12 odd pages about this and some of the info is a little garbled in stupid comments by people who I agree need to learn about grammer and spelling.

Anyways, from what I've gathered so far EA is passing off WOL to XWIS sometime soon, but the date hasn't been given? This a behind the scenes effort and for the most part will go un-noticed? There will finally be a working ladder and I'm going to assume this is for clans as well as individuals. The lack of FDS serials will be solved and it seems to me like this will be similar to GSA except it will all be done through something of a WOL mask. I've never used XWIS since I never wanted to go out of my way to get into a game of Ren and from the sounds of it I won't have to. I agree EA is blowing us off but I don't understand why some people think this will be a bad thing.

I'm trying to assure people that this is a good thing and to keep tabs on the development and I was just hoping I could get a few facts straightened out so I don't give anyone the wrong info. Also WOL is down and it's unrelated to XWIS? Has EA dropped it hoping XWIS would pick it up sooner than they were ready or is this just another one of WOL's naps? I know all the info is in the 12 pages but it's really hard to decipher it from a lot of spam and off topic comments.

Oh and I didn't notice but is there a forum or web site for Strike Team so I can keep a closer watch on things?

I think that we all miss WOL, but don't really know what is going on. Guess what, we get to deal with it.

I am Sorry most everyone seems to have an issue with XWIS, but I see a group that is willing to keep one of our favorite games alive and going. With EA dropping us we would be on our own without XWIS. Maybe BHS would jump in and support it if that happened, but who really knows. We need to be nice to those trying to help and be patient.

You can still play. I was on most of the day via XFIRE and Gamespy playing on n00bless All Out War server even with the problems I was having.

If anyone has something of fact on why WOL is down, it would be nice to hear, otherwise we get to chill.

It's just a little convenient that WOL goes down the first day of November, as well as all of westwood's subdomains. This time someone didn't trip over the cord on their way to their office.

Please continue to reference http://www.renegadewiki.com/index.php?title=XWIS_Transition_ FAQ for information about the XWIS transition as we have it. There is no reason to believe this outage has anything to do with XWIS at all.

I'm the bawss.

I just started checking out Renegadewiki and I've refered people to that for their information on it and I've told them to register on Strike Team's forums for more info. Unfortunately the security code image isn't loading so I can't register just yet. Hopefully they'll have that fixed soon

legacy.westwood.com (also includes wol01, games, games2, servserv since they all point to the same IP)
renchat2.westwood.com
renchat4.westwood.com
irca/irc.westwood - whichever isn't pointed to XWIS

It almost looks like a network issue when you run a traceroute on legacy since it says destination address unavailable, but it's just a little too strange that all of Westwood's subdomains are out and that it happened before 4AM PST yesterday and it's still not been fixed. My two sense anyway.

It's indeed a network issue.

What makes XWis suck? Please fill us in ...

WOL is not fine. It's unreliable, slow, full of bugs, glithes and exploits, and is in no way shape or form maintained/upgraded/supported.

You wont even know the difference between WOL and XWIS when the change happens. From a pure player stand point nothing changes. You join and play just like normal. So if you leave because of the switch then you you will be the only one but also moron. Oh and if EA cared about losing people they wouldn't be shutting WOL down in the first place. On the other hand it opens up news doors for us admins and BHS to offer you a better game than ever before ... but your leaving so that doesn't matter to you. Bye
