in terms of population,
RA2 > slight gap > Renegade > huge gap > Tib Sun and Yuri's Revenge
Of course, in terms of XWIS' priorities:
RA2 > slight gap > Tib Sun and Yuri's Revenge > gap big enough to accommodate a planet > Renegade

I'm pretty sure Renegade has FAR more players than any of their games. I assure you that I will be having some words with anyone whose ear I can grab about this. This is completely intolerable.
I'm the bawss.

RA2 does indeed have a larger player population, unfortunately. It tops Renegade by a couple hundred at peek times, non peak times a little more.

I get a "Unable to connect to westwood online" or a "Your game has been rejected" or a "You need an update in order to play online"
I know thats how it was originally, but I think XWis changed the situation.

Works fine for RenAlert
|
True, and it always worked before when i did the TC for A New Hope and such. I did my mod a little different this time, maybe that is why. I stuck all of the renegade files in Always2 that way i wouldnt have to export them everytime i need to update my always.

I have not yet had time to read all threads on this subject but this a general post that should answer most questions complaints.
The reasons that all servers went down 2 days ago is that the host had a scheduled downtime for network maintenance.
We were not informed of this downtime and have only been informed today after trying to get some answers.
Once the host network was backup, the Ra2 and Yuri´s revenge servers automatically restarted.
The TS/Renegade server did not. This has nothing to do with any perjudices against those games it was just bad luck.
There are still some services that need to be restarted on all servers so please be patient.
Please also note that Olaf and i are currently away at Leipzig GC with EA.
On the one hand this is unfortunate timing that this happened in our absence as we are struggling to get access to PCs to get online here.
On the other hand we have access to talk to the top people at EA here and one of our priorities in our visit is to get some assurances from EA that this kind of thing is going to stop happening.
Note we were contacted by Riz on our mobile phones as soon as this occurred and we got online at our first opportunity. But since it was a network issue there was nothing we could do.
We have sympathy with those players who have made civilised enquiries and will do our best to get the message to the right people. But we are no longer accepting responsibilties for things beyond our control or accept complaints from people that are being unreasonable and rude.
When we get a chance to give an update we will.

Update :
We are back now.
There are still some stability issues with c server (RG and TS). That is the priority,after that we will let you know the status on ladders etc.
Note all levels at EA are aware of this, not least because a lot of people contacted EA during the downtime, which only helps the case to get more reliable hosts provided. We are discussing that presently.

Yeah, I find it impossible to believe that an ISP would schedule a downtime of a day and a half (the time that even the website was down). And if they absolutely HAD to schedule a downtime like that, they wouldn't have just forgot to tell everyone.
I'm the bawss.

A hosting company chosen and specified by EA showing utter incompetence invokes no disbelief from me. This type of scheduled unannounced outage happened close to the start of the redirection. Strike-Team/XWIS did all they could prior to and after the redirection to specify a different hosting company, but EA wouldn't budge. Maybe they will now.

Yes ofcourse, the reason renegade was not restored auto was because of "bad luck".
XWIS Def of bad luck:
extreme lack of care
|
It was just the way the cookie crumbled. That's all there is to it. I have personally played many hours on Renagade prior to this outage/after the redirection and never once had a problem.

I find that very hard to believe. XWIS was always on the same German box at Clanserver4u.de even before the servserv redirect. The IPs never changed. Where XWIS is hosted has NOTHING to do with EA whatsoever. Where it is hosted has and will always be Olaf's choice.
Actually, its cool to be me.

EA were paying for the hosting before the redirection. Where XWIS is hosted has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH EA. It is not Olaf's/Strike-Team's choice.
