FAQ
- What is WICGATE
- WICGATE is a fully working replica of the original Massgate.net multiplayer platform, built on the official source code released to the public on GitHub in 2018. It includes performance enhancements and complete support for key features such as clan wars, server invites, and other social systems that were essential to the original game.
- Why WICGATE?
- The official Massgate multiplayer servers for World in Conflict were shut down by Ubisoft on December 15, 2015. While early efforts to revive online play began with the original Massgate revival, WICGATE takes it further — restoring full multiplayer functionality with new quality-of-life features and modern improvements that enhance the original experience.
