You have no idea what you are talking about. If you had any knowledge of ASP.NET and how it works then you would know that that is a client side problem, and not server side. So don't go blaming the clanwars.cc server for a problem that is on your end.

I don't pretend to know anything about how to code a website, but our league was indeed down for a good half hour or so.... congratulations, he's right about ONE thing, if a little over-dramatic at the same time...

Actually if you had ANY idea what YOU were talking about, you would know that their IIS config file was fucked up and caused the downtime. See Maiden's post you fucking moron.

Okay, I have to correct my own post here. It was a server side problem, but how does that contribute to clanwars.cc being crap? It doesn't. Every server has its problems one day or another, and its people like you who jump on it when these mishaps do happen. clanwars.cc is not crap, and atleast they are contributing to the Renegade community. If it wern't for clanwars.cc, there would not be a decent clan/ladder system. Aside from that, if you really think that clanwars.cc is complete and utter crap, I would love to sit back and watch you create a clan/ladder system like they have and prove to everyone that is, indeed, better.

They would prob hire somone to make a ladder 1/10 as sucessful as clanwars.
clanwars is a very sucessful ladder system, which if I am not mistaken, has enough decency to have EA atleast donate to them, I want to see anyone get enough respect to get a huge company to donate atleast $10 to them.
As for the advertisements, I really don't care, and I don't know if clanwars does have ad's or not, but if you have those kind of ads on your pc and no one else does, try lowering the ammount of porn on your computer

EA supply us with hundreds of dollars' worth of prizes every month for players, and they (and we) ask nothing in return from the players other than that they behave themselves and follow the rules.
Various other companies offer prizes too.
I know it's "cool" to bash EA and everything, but what they're doing is brilliant.
As for ads, we have a small google banner which takes up a fractional part of the league page, and they are typically related to gaming servers etc... therefore being of potential benefit to players. They don't impose, they don't pop out at you.

Basic marketing appears to be anything but brilliant to me.

Then pray tell me: what do you do for the community that's better than this:

How about patching the God damn game instead of wasting (not really, since you're buying into it) the money on cheap marketing tactics/moves (involves prizes and whatever else) to reinvigorate their image and augment their sales?
(EA handing its services over to the community isn't something you should see as good in the first place)
FUCK

Don't dodge my question. Thanks.
As for EA handing services over to the community, well, putting aside the other aspects of "services" which have been handed over to groups such as XWIS and BHS, we are perfectly fine with handling the clan ladder. It's not simply a replacement to the original WOL ladder - it's better than the original WOL ladder, and I say that without a hint of ego or bias.

I see you edited this post - and all I can say is, are you a communist by any chance? OMFG, A COMPANY WANTS TO PROMOTE A GOOD IMAGE OF THEMSELVES AND THEREBY INCREASE THEIR SALES, UNACCEPTABLE!
They're doing a really, really good thing and you're belittling that generosity because it will improve their image? What the fuck? What would you rather they spent those hundreds of dollars a month on? Some form of advertising, perhaps? That would have roughly the same effect except for the fact players wouldn't getting free games

Yes, sorry about the edit, I wasn't expecting you to read or reply so quickly.
No, I'm not a Communist, they have indeed the right to do this, you qualified their move(s) as brilliant, which is by far, false.
Brilliant would be actual product support, and apart from the "new" (repackaged (or whatever the correct term is to define it) version of the recent one that excluded (yes) Renegade) version of the Level Editor (or those prizes, which are technically worthless), EA has failed their duty to support this game.
"What would you rather they spent those hundreds of dollars a month on?"

Sure we're doing a better job than they did, sure! But the truth is, it's not even our job, it's theirs.
I feel bad for all the people who bought Earth and Beyond, seriously.

Plz DO NOT speak bad about communism. Communists have done nothing to you, so you got no right to get them into all of this. Thank you.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Me too, because I bought it some time ago and when I finnaly wanted to try it(2 years ago in summer), it would no longer work.
Well, at least I got it in a cheap bundle with C&C Renegade, Need for Speed(can't remember which one), and Freedom Force.
How was the game anyway? Was it worth it?

You don't think being able to win free games simply by playing a game you like is brilliant? Let's agree to disagree on that, but don't just say "it's false" on a matter of opinion.

...worthless? Any game might grip you the way Renegade has gripped the majority of people on this forum at some point. I guess Renegade is "technically worthless" as well, then?

Then why don't you get off your lazy ass and do something about it instead of whining? Draw up a proposal and petition EA about it.

Alright, but the fact is that the whole idea is similar to handing out t-shirts (and perhaps other free 'goodies') to people in a convention.

You can't possibly be serious.

Renegade SDK
14:02 PST | Dario | Print News | Mail News
According to Red Alert: A Path Beyond (and later confirmed by EA's Predator at CnC Den), EA will be releasing a new Renegade SDK. Basically it's a rehash of the tools that came with BfME 2 (something that Saberhawk has already done in July), but officially released by EA.
|
Who's "we"? Simply the community, isn't that rather obvious?
"...worthless? Any game might grip you the way Renegade has gripped the majority of people on this forum at some point. I guess Renegade is "technically worthless" as well, then?"
I wasn't targetting any game (hell, I didn't even know what they were (specifically) handing out to you, but I assumed it included t-shirts, games, etc.). Worthless because other than making a few morons happy and... Oh yeah, maybe it's brilliant after all, because they can get away with not doing their work, as it makes people like you apparently happy.
Yes, we all know that online petitions work!
About Earth and Beyond: They bought a game and what, like, a year after their purchase EA shuts it down (unprofitability leads to loss of support when consumers are dealing with Electronic Arts).
I could compare this to Dell not recalling a certain battery from a laptop that is affected by the current "lol exploding battery" drama because it didn't get enough sales.
FUCK
