Since I'm developing Rene-Buddy still, I notice every little change that happens on xwis.

Why did the address that the game connects to change from

c.xwis.net:4010
to
g.xwis.net:4003?

Probably Crimson would only be able to tell me (please)... but anyone else know?

Also while I'm asking Xwis questions...
What do the Port Mangler Servers Do?

And What's the difference between the
Live chat server - xwis.net 5000
and the
0:XWIS Server - g.xwis.net 4003

Also why is the Ping Server (159.153.192.10) Needed?
theres like 10 of them.
Since the game auto pings xwis constantly..

As far as i know their changing servers or something, probably why your noticing some changes

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

This doesn't meet the minimum standards of spam.

that would explain why c.xwis.net is throwing me a "connection refused"

and why
"our $XWIS_Host="c.xwis.net"; #This shouldn't change, so not in config file"

wouldt work for xwisp

Port manglers are for NAT (type) detection and the ping servers are for bandwidth detection.

The ports changed because we moved to a single IP address (and server), the host changed because we moved servers.
