> Greetings from your C&C Community Manager!

> To continue the ten year anniversary celebration of the widely popular
> Command and Conquer franchise, I am pleased to reveal EA's partnership
> with XWIS (XCC WOL IRC SERVER)!

> Through this partnership, all Command and Conquer games formerly
> supported by EA/Westwood Online will be redirected through XWIS, thus
> instituting XWIS as the main online game server management team. XWIS is
> a community driven online game server that launched in October 2003 to
> replace the XCC Community Ladder. The new and improved features enabled
> include chat, in-game ranks, matching filters, lobby monitoring,
> improved Quick-Match, and fully functional automatic ladders for clans
> and individual tournament players. The beauty of this partnership is
> that you won't have to download any external programs to utilize XWIS.
> All the enabled features and connections to the servers are already
> integrated into the supported games!

> I'm also excited to share with you that the Strike Team will be
> monitoring the banning and anti-cheat controls on a daily basis and will
> provide technical support as needed. The Strike Team is a website built
> of hardcore Command and Conquer fans and is sponsored by the EA German
> Community Team. Their goal is to ensure a controlled and fun online
> environment for all players.

> XWIS will commence a two week trial period with Command & Conquer Red
> Alert 2 and Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. Once this
> trial is completed on Oct. 20th, XWIS will be supporting the following
> EA/Westwood online games:

> * Command & Conquer Red Alert 2
> * Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge
> * Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn
> * Command & Conquer The Covert Operations
> * Command & Conquer Red Alert
> * Command & Conquer Red Alert: Counterstrike
> * Command & Conquer Red Alert: Aftermath
> * Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun
> * Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun: Firestorm
> * Command & Conquer Renegade
> * Dune 2000
> * Nox
> * Emperor: Battle for Dune

> EA is 100% dedicated to the Command and Conquer franchise and wants to
> ensure a strong and secure online gameplay environment. Long live
> Command and Conquer! We hope to see resurgence in the legions of NOD and
> GDI followers claiming ground online.

> Good luck soldier. Hit the hot keys and get online with Command and
> Conquer!
