I'll give it a few days if no improvement back into the box and hopefully I can return it!

Very seriously doubt your retailer will take the game back from you considering it came with the unique registration key which you used to create your account.  More than likely there's no way to re-activate the key, meaning what good is it gonna do your retailer to refund your money?  They can't resell that game if the key isn't functional.  Anyways, that's how it worked when I bought my UO copy a few years ago.  The retailer told me that it had a monthly fee, and there was no chance of a refund.

Yup Ghost .. I've just come out of there after 6 hours straight of mayhem  :)

No doubt that the Rats are turning it around.  There's a new War Stories forum up at the SF site, with lots of player comments.  Glad to see they've at least got a heap of shards online and everyone appears to be having a ball.

;) For a moment I thought Jekyll had bravely put up a link to the StratFirst general or wwii online forumns. When I saw it was the story forumn I had to laugh. Going there and taking that as any measure of WWII Online success is tantamount to passing by the unwashed masses surrounding the Caste Rat and saying let them eat cake. These few, good and embeliished reports aren't enough to tip the scale.

 The only thing the majority of WWII Online customers posting over there want right now is CRS blood.  Or a refund.

 (which could change, if they now get the fps and other problems resolved. and quick.)
