Yes, I suppose in theory we could have a program that connects to 'our' WOL and the real one. The problem is that the people who follow stuff like that is so small in relation to the total number of players that someone drastic would have to happen (like WOL down for good) before people really adopted it.
Other than that, I know v00d00 and Scorpio9a both have a WOL replacement coded. I'm not sure what percent complete they are or how much they've been tested. But, we do already have the hardware capacity to take over if needed in these servers I spend $500/month for.
I'm the bawss.

If in the even of WOL going down. Wouldn't you have to implement a means of changing the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Westwood\Renegade\WOLSettings\Se rvers
binary data?

If it were up to me, I'd just link the n00bstories IRC network to the WOL IRC network. That would be quite cool, I think. That is, of course, assuming that EA ever drops the official WOL servers.

Since so many people use Renguard and it just started logging into the new server and asking people to re-register it would work out rather well. The possiblities of a new master server are endless. We could have things that we never had before with the normal WOL.
BTW: right now I am reinstalling renegade for the first time in years this should be interesting.
