Try  www.wwiionline.com.

Their new site is bit of a toejame in my opinion, nothing seems to work as it should. Quite hard to avoid feeling it was done in great hurry.

 Well. Hmmmm. Jochen, ever play MMP games on The Zone or Gamestorm?  If not then I could really only highly recomnend you do so for a month or two to get a taste of what it is like before waving that $10/mo flag around as some kind of prize.

-Westy

p.s. it only means to me, that I could still have my fun here and got to WWII Online as a side dish when I need the taste for something different every now and then each month. Kind of like eating out at a nice restautant all the time but occasionally popping thru a drive-thru for a quickie meal

oops sorry was just adding some info to this thread ...its was about 5:15am here and wasn't really aware what forum this was in..
that said I'll have to agree with westy on this just look at wwiiol forum to get an idea of what type of community you'll be walking into. But I'll try to keep "an opened mind"...

Wetsy, I already know what kind of folks that low price tag will draw... Even AH feels like kindergarten sometimes when I compare it to WB few years back. High price has its benefits too, if nothing else, folks tend to be more mature which is the way I like it. Pilots don't play 2$ per hour just so they could piss off others.

But point is, both IEN and HTC are forced to rethink their pricing soon after WWIIOL becomes reality. I think AW is practically dead already.

In my opinion WWIIOL will be technically better than either WB or AH, if they can implement all the stuff they have promised. So, they would have propably the best engine, sea and ground war and lowest pricing, only thing that is against them is relative lack of interest towards blitzkrieg if you compare it to late war which is offered by AH and WB.

That's the biggest 'if' in online gaming today.

June 1st 2001? I really doubt we'll get anything more than a basic game for our money.

I just hope it isn't going to be quake with both water and aeroplane wings.

NOV 2001 release, then add Falcon 4.0 bug timeframe fix experience period till its smooth and stable, as in complete online playable.

Man, the graphics will be so dated.

Cool idea though.
