Gobalopper Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Since WOL is down and we can't really trust Westwood much anymore should we even bother with it anymore? Instead of using it get everyone to use the XWIS server instead. This could lead to getting clans back but I can't guarantee that.
Harkdawg Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 yea im all for it!!!!We can have 8 player games + even the chat works :)and getting clans back!! that would we nice!
Warskum Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Theres 1 little problem, there will always be the same players that play cuz new guys dont know bout Xwis, so i am not sure yet if we should drop WOL.
lowzeewee Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 And Leo and I can't play newbies anymore! :(But overall,YES! :O
Darkrul3r Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I don't think we should ditch WOL yet. We need it to tell all they new'bs about xwis. Unless theirs another way of telling them.
ps501 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I'm all in favor of moving off of WOL for "everyday play" but when/if WOL actually bothers to restore their server, I think we should all make it a point to go there frequently, tell all the players about fed2k, and XWIS. However if WOL becomes stable, maybe allows more than a 4x player and/or puts clans back could make sense to play there too.If we think going to XWIS is the way to go collectively, then a thought for this site - on the main page put an obvious 1st time users guide - maybe above the news section? So all newb's understand easily how to use the board, what it is for, and that we are here to help.
leo Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I am for but only if EA would agree to patch the game so olaf's server will be the main one, that way we can have the new players and still play on a great server.
Kyle Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I'm all for xwis...the only problem would be that we would lose a number of emperor players becuz some don't know about fed2k...
Atomic Mitten Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Well WOL seems to have gone down completely now, xwis isn't working either !It's working again, they must be working on the wol server !
ken124578 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Wow, i leave to spend new year with my family in Germany and look what happened. :O
darkd3th Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I say if wol comes restores and gets the clan manger back we should stay at wol . If it doesn't we have no other choice but to go to gobs server. But if we get a clan manger for either I'd be there in a second and a half.
bryorama Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 I love XWIS. It's actually letting us play 3v3, 4v4. I love IT! I can't express it in words. Everyday on AIM/MSN I'm getting the occasional wanna go on XWIS? We are starting up a roudy 3v3 by Vilgent, Darkrul3r, Sendakon, PS501, Appolyon, Mrdozy. I LOVE IT! Ditch WOL!!! UP WITH XWISÂ :)
rigel6669 Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 I thought that Xwis was also using the WOL server, so how can you ditch it ?I am all for playing on 1 server like Xwis if EA makes a patch for it, so that all play on the same ...
Ords Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 I agree on this but now in the weekend Saterday evening also XCC is down.So how are we getting a second server online next to it like Westwood had.What Capacity does it take from the Connection and is it hard to install.I have now an FTP and a Webmail running.But when I add a Game server like XCC to it what will happen with my performence :- :OOrds
mordusxxx Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 yes Xwis is down for me to so why should i ditch one down server for another?
Atomic Mitten Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 What is going on Xwis is down again ?The last time wol went down completely Xwis didn't work either, so I'm more than puzzled that everyone is talking about using Xwis as a substitute server for Emperor and Dune.
XTF Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 I say if wol comes restores and gets the clan manger back we should stay at wol . If it doesn't we have no other choice but to go to gobs server. But if we get a clan manger for either I'd be there in a second and a half.XWIS has a clan manager. WOL doesn't and won't.At the moment XWIS is not able to handle much more than 150 - 300 players. The cause of this limit has not been found yet, but we're trying to increase this limit.Clans can be managed at http://62.216.18.38/xwi/
Atomic Mitten Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 What I don't get is I have the xwis switch, but not any clan manager or chat room anymore ?
Ords Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 Olaf I am living in holland.Is it possible to back you up with my server.Its on 24f7 and running under w2000pro.It has a Webserver and FTP server running.Can I assist on Xwis. 8)Iam playing since 2200 hours again on your server good job mate. ;)
XTF Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 What amount of bandwidth is available and where is it located?
Ords Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 It is located at my home in Bergen op Zoom.The bandwide is ADSL comfort 2048/320. 8).I do not know the amount of bandwide is neccesary. :-.
Atomic Mitten Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 What is with the strange Ranking system on Xwis ?I played a few games and I had a rank of 7, then the next day after one lost game my rank went to 61 and apollyon to 60.How is this ?
