Hi Tamerlane,
I realise that the MTW server has got a lot busier recently but I see no reason not to pursue this query further, on a 'just in case' basis.
Whilst setting up a substitute server is only a problem of finding someone wealthy enough (!!!) to have enough machines for the task and a fixed IP address, the hard part is going to be getting individual users to realise it's even available.
After that, it'll be all about helping them to work out how to fix their copy of the game to link up to it. I've yet to see any signs of the gamespy address embedded in any config files and wonder whether it's 'hard-coded' in some way. CA has no qualms about mods which enhance the user experience but they might not be so accommodating when it comes to tinkering with the core program code.
