Who is XWIS?

XWIS started out as an alternative to WOL that used a client program to re-point Renegade (and other games) at the XWIS servers instead of the EA servers. Now, EA are giving control over WOL to XWIS directly. So that means that your game will look for the servers it always has but will find XWIS servers at those addresses and not EA servers. XWIS is a service run by Strike Team, which is a replacement software for Westwood Online (WOL). The XWIS network has been running for quite some time as a optional place for gamers to connect to away from the cheaters, spammers, and bots that infest the default WOL network for the older RTS-style C&C games.
