There's no "special setup". Olaf and Scorpio9a fixed the problem.

The main thing I have noticed with the switch over to XWIS coming is that since people cant connect through WOL they dont bother to get the XWIS launcher which is where most servers are at[besides GSA] and so mostly true Renegade players are on the servers now, the bigger servers are doing fine. They have a following and the players go where they know there is action. Less n00bs means better gameplay so if we decrease the number of players and we get more talented players then so be it. Renegade was becoming filled with n00bs ruining servers and gameplay. I personally think the switch over has been a good thing.

I'll vouch for it... I've been playing on XWIS since WOL started having problems. I'm behind a NAT and have had no problems what so ever playing ANY servers.

So I don't think the game is dead.

Good point!

He actually does have a good point. However, it could be a pointless point because a lot of people who buy it could either:
A. Already own most of the games and just want them on DVD.
B. Not even bother to install Renegade.
I'm not saying this against you, but even though the game will be purchased again, it does not guarantee that all of those people who purchase it (that have never played it before) will begin playing it.

The problem is, because of someone who was ill-informed, we've been calling it the "NAT bug" but it was never related to NAT. I, too, am behind NAT and I was able to join some servers, but not all. So, unless someone who codes for BC and/or XPhaze says they specifically did something, then you have come to the wrong conclusion. I am confident that you did because if anyone from either of those communities had a fix like that, they would have posted it in the Server Owners forum where we were discussing the bug with Olaf.

I recently tried playing Worms Armageddon online... the player and server count hasn't changed for 3-4 years. Good times, and they still exist.

Some people still play RA1 online too. That's from 1996 and didn't even really have a true online play.
So yeah...

Reading the Xwis MOTD tells me yesterday evening (GMT, so with little Americans out there) there were about 300 players on Renegade. I'm sure more came as it became later.

Quote: | I didn't say Renegade had no players, I said it had very few - 30 players is not very many at all.

Agreed. If you look at BF2 for instance, that game has thousands of players, instead of hundreds of players at any given time. But it has been like this for years now and Renegade just refuses to give up and die.
Anyway, as long as people are still here, so will I...

there's 75+ people playing on gamespy as of this moment. let's say that number recycles 3 times and that makes it 225 on gamespy alone
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
