My 2 cents,

I hear cuple of players complain about  lag (win 8) or they even cant play it coz of the issue with win 10.(i think a lot of players use win 10 nowdays)

People come online(if they can get online) and experience a whole lot of lag,after 5 min of lag i would be done !!and i think alot of players.

They turn there back on ra2 and never come back.

Wouldnt it be a good idea to solve these problems first and then release a free serial "month" so people can see how much fun this game is.(without lag)

 

Dont get me worng  i am very happy with origin what there doing ,but there server (EA people !!) is fucking down after 2 days !!Wtf ??? They cant handle the downloads !This is why i never ever gona buy a EA game again coz its a BS company and there support sucks hardcore !!

Blizzard on the other hand,so good to see there are company's like this that do know how to handle and support a game .

I feel like evry time xwis or a partner of xwis does things to boost activity its a half of glass of milk (hope ull get this 1 ;) and thats why its going Downnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Many people activated ra2, they just don't know how to access xwis ra2 server I believe, we are making manual video soon and gonna publish in section which the unactivated members can see, how to access xwis.

Very helpful video for those who'd need it. :)

 

Ps. Which ever one of you (hardman / rumble) are narrating it sounds like you're either tired or stoned.

Yes if you want Play the same guys on different nicks :). Player Ranking top 50 6-7 Players on different Nicks xD. Whole Clan ladder 6 guys. That free serial thing wont bring anything here on xwis. This is the biggest Chance and only few ppl try to bring activity. Where is Olaf? Why he still dont send a Email to every1 with the Link to Origin and the topic how it works. John if u think qm will more activity deinstall ra2 lol.

it's possible the new downloaded serials a lot of people are doing skirmish and missions to get a feel for the game before the jump right into online play.

And i can assure you the staff is doing a lot more thab youd like to believe to direct people the right way, i found forums that listed ra2 having no multi player since gamespy died in 2014.

A lot of people still play ladders on different nicks. Fair enough, I have like 5 nicks too, but the main one I use for ladder games is IonGenHD. Sometimes I use others to confuse a couple of people, no harm in doing that.

I've done some 2v2ffgs on GR a couple days this week. There are some decent people on there that can at least give a gg for a 2v2ffg. Most of these "decent" people are interested in coming to xwis but don't know about the free serials on origin, how to get the serial after they download ra2 from it, or what to do with the serial once they get it.

Unfortunately it all happened a bit fast without any warning. Hopefully origin will put the free downloads back up soon and we can take advantage of it.

I found the gap I believe, we got thousands of news xwis forum log in and almost thousand ra2 new nicks, the reason is when they downloaded ra2 from origin.com/, they didnt Download XWIS ra2 version, and thats why not many are online, I helped like 6-7 people to get on xwis, they joined ra2 lobby, when i told them to download xwis ra2 version, we need to share the link about XWIS ra2 version, not many people know what ra2 version they should download!

I don't think that explains the gap? They don't need to have the xwis version of the game installed to play on xwis. Using the origin download and clicking internet in game will bring them to xwis server just like it always has.

I was about to upload a video on youtube, to show which link they need to download hm, so what is blocking them from joinning xwis ra2 server?

I'm not sure, probably a number of reasons. But it doesn't matter which game version you have (Disc, TFD, TUC, xwis download, origin download), if that's what you meant. Though the XWIS version should probably be recommended due to extra maps etc.

 

The gap could be any combination of:

 

- Issues with peoples OS, getting it to work on windows 8/10

- People not bothered about online play

- People playing single player etc first

- People logging in then losing interest and leaving

- People confused with logging in process 

 

and probably more.
