*Greetins XvT Pilots,
This is Keeper. It's been a long time! I am sad to announce that, for the first time, XvT WoW has ended without a match played. For myself, it has been 6 years since I played in an event hosted by BattleStats. X-Wing vs. TIE-Fighter is the pinnacle of Star Wars' space combat. I do believe we should hold on to this game and not let it die until LucasArts comes out with a sequal to it. The Star Wars Galaxies combat upgrade was a great idea in theory, but inevitably failed because it introduced a player's skill with a joystick into a world governed by a player's character level and equipment.
As you may know, the MSN Gaming Zone has abandoned XvT and XWA. Long gone are the days of harassing +Members in the help chatrooms and getting one hour or 24 hour bans. ^_^ Voobly Gaming has picked up the game and match making is done there for BSC events. They also have a Balance of Power and an X-Wing Alliance lobby. Voobly Gaming is almost identical to the old Zone except that they have a forums section and you can create a club on the site. For example, if I made the callsign Baron_Fel and then create a club called 181st there and joined it, my name would show as [181st]Baron_Fel. Optionally, you can just make a name 181st_Baron_Fel.
There are issues getting the game to work on a 64 bit system. Well, not work, but installed. That has been remedied! Check the links below. Also, there is a link for the XvT iso incase you lost your CD. So reactivate your BSC account, rejoin your old clubs, get a hold of your former squadmates and make a Voobly account. I hope to see you guys out there!
