I just had an idea, how to make widescreen support in Voobly fairer:
For example there are many laptops with resolutions like 1280x720 and because that resolution doesn't fit 1280x1024 and 1024x768 you can only play on 800x600 without widescreen support. In this case widescreen support is not a great improvement but nearly essential to play AoC.
In other cases, like you have a display with resolution 1920x1080, you don't really need widescreen support, but for many players it's still useful.
My suggestion: Only make widescreen support a premium feature, if the resulting resolution would be bigger than 1280x1024 (= 1,310,720 pixels, so for example 1440x900 would be smaller than 1280x1024).
I don't know if it's possible to implement widescreen support in this way, or if there are other problems, but I at least wanted to propose it. ops:
