Tides of Westwood's Merger

The final tides of Westwood's merger/closing seem to be coming in.  The Westwood website has been replaced by a simple Command & Conquer Series page that links to the official websites for Renegade, Red Alert 2, Generals, etc.  Also, the following message has been posted at that website, concerning Westwood Online:

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Westwood Online (the game matchmaking service) will be unavailable from Monday, March 3rd until late March 5th while we move a number of servers to a new location. As a result, players will not be able to log in and chat or play online against each other until late Wednesday.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, and will keep you updated with a specific time of completion when available. Please understand that we will be working as fast as possible to complete all our work ahead of schedule.

-Westwood Online Staff.
Also, concerning the Official Generals Message Boards, Harvard sent along this message:

FYI…making some server changes due to the move.  Thanks for your patience

Last but not least, it is worthwhile to note that the Official Renegade Forums have closed, and are now being hosted by N00bStories.  You can visit the forums via http://www.renegadeforums.com/.
