A few hundred RTS players? RA2/YR have more players than Renegade.

I looked at XWIS's stats a few weeks ago. In terms of population RA2 was highest closely followed by Renegade... Tib Sun and YR were much less active.

Of course we are all still losing connection to XWIS over and over and fucking over again. It's downright infuriating and so completely unacceptable to get this horrendous level of service from Strike Team.

I'm the bawss.

Damn right.

I was so pissed at XWIS (sorry for the language)

I was -realy- Annoyed, I wanted to bad mouth them on there forums how they need to LOOK at Renegade and start careing, Instead of slacking us off.

I Know BHS Would do a better job than XWIS did for anyone.

Its absolutly crap.

If you look at http://strike-team.net forums, It states that they think Renegade is shit.

They care more about a few hundred RTS players than 1000 FPS/Tank players lol.

If anything, I want a new engien, NOT xwis.

If xwis doesnt like Renegade and dont want to support it, Why not give it to someone else lol.

BHS FTW!

aswell for the ladder, It would be cool if it still worked.

Yes, but isn't it hard to host that (cost some)

Moding can be real Fun...

What I do find pityful is that after all these months, there still isn't 'Renegade' in their forum title and there's no renegade section anywhere near their forum.

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.

I understand the situation. It doesn't make it any less acceptable to have an outage of this magnitude.

YR has 300 players, RA2 has only 45 servers, and about 1000 players.

Renegade has about 800-1000 players on XWIS and another 200 on gamespy (+Servers for gamespy)

Making renegade the most active game on XWIS. Thumbs Up

And these are the stats from http://www.xwis.net/xcl <--see for yourslef Thumbs Up

It doesn't help that they're blatantly lying about the downtime. Server maintenance for that long? Not likely. Not being informed of the downtime? I simply refuse to believe this would be possible.

whoa.

2)200 gamespy players (+servers=250)
3)that makes it about 1050-1250 players in ren.
4)RA2 has 1000 (including a mer 45 servers)

Without XWIS I think C&C Wouldnt survive. Everything seems good to me. This whole downtime gives everyone a reason to get off there fat asses and go outside.

How is it possible that Xwis just lets this crappy situation persist? Thy should take the whole thing down and give an error message excusing for the current problems until they fix it! This is unplayable: servers disconnect every 10 mins.

How is it possible that noone seems to know why this happens and how much time it will take to fix it?

Yes, most of us. Some servers made some kind of reconnecting utility now though, which keeps them up most of the time. It's artificial though.

Although popularity doesn't matter in this situation, there are currently 551 Renegade 'players' (including servers) and 878 Red Alert 2 players online.
And you can't tell how much Red Alert 2 games (instead of servers) are in progress as games become invisible as soon as they start.
