Why XWIS can't just implement the login system properly is beyond me...

Clone Degeneration. They didn't implement the login system properly when the real thing was around and it was easier to determine how it worked. Now that the real thing is gone, a proper implementation is far more difficult because it requires reverse engineering the client itself as opposed to just snooping on the text protocol it uses. Any clones of XWIS would likely be degenerate in other ways.
