'''Relic Online''' |
'''Relic Online''' was an online gaming system that [[Relic Entertainment|Relic]]/[[THQ]] uses for matchmaking in some Relic Entertainment games, replacing its previous use of [[GameSpy Arcade]] (''Dawn of War'') and [[World Opponent Network|WON]] (''Homeworld''). Relic Online was developed by Relic/THQ and [[Quazal]], and is completely separate from any GameSpy/WON systems. It has not been backported to older games such as ''[[Dawn of War]]'' and its expansions, but has appeared in Relic's ''[[Company of Heroes]]'' series of games.
