Hyper and crew, OmniBlade, tomsons26, pulled off a miracle here. A lot of us had given up hope of ever seeing a working server again and then this happened. It still hasn't registered in my mind fully but things are moving quickly it seems as the old modes and settings come online. It even works through the classic Westwood Chat program still hosted by XWIS like it did in it's glory days.
I've been testing it with them for the past couple weeks and this is the real thing through and through. It is great to have the final piece of the "puzzle", when it comes to C&C games, back and in working order. All glory and credit goes to CCHyper, OmniBlade and tomsons26 for actually pulling this off and opening a new chapter for C&C.
