Why exactly can't you use WOL again? I know you told me before but I cannot remember it.

A TT serial is no solution as you cannot link it to a user or computer. Everyone needs a serial to install the game and there's an up to date list of valid serials over at xwis.

An in between solution would be to give the server access to the xwis valid serial (hash) list so it can check if direct connecters use a valid serial. However, you'd need Olaf to do this.

Which is fail, I have three copies of TFD, one copy of the original renegade, and one copy of the games that were bundled in that orange box. I've had to reinstall renegade 10 times across 3 different computers because of "You have an invalid serial" or something like that when try to enter the advanced game listing lobby.



Also, Banning by ISP is a bad idea, what about groups of people that play in their college dorms, one person in the school gets banned and then everyone else in the school can't play Huh That would be very annoying.
