if you ever had a WW2OL account and want to try out 1.6.4.....


Following the release of v1.5 we began a limited-time program titled 'Welcome Back Soldier' in which we welcomed all former account holders back to have a look at the improvements made to the game. With the successful release of v1.6 we are bringing it back.
Starting at approximately 1700ET Friday, June 14th and ending June 28th, all accounts which were closed prior to June 12th, 2002 will be re-activated for access to the game and forums. This does not apply to banned accounts.

We are announcing the program through our press relations and contacting closed account holders via E-mail to let them know about the free play time but we need your help. Some former players have changed their E-mail addresses and we cannot contact them. If you know of a player who has a closed account, we urge you to contact them and let them know about the program.

Feel free to post this information to your favorite forums, submit it to your most visited news sites or E-mail it directly to your buddies who no longer play the game.

******************GET THE UPDATE NOWThere's no need to wait until Friday to get the update. Download and install it now and be ready for the free play time. Download v1.6 now (100Mb wow! look below)******************DON'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD?v1.6 is a major update and requires an additional 100Mb of game data. If you don't want to download the update, now you can buy it on CDROM for just the cost of shipping and handling. Get the CD ******************

Thanks for the heads up.  

 Out of curiosity (and also because I'm unable to post the question there as I'm not a WWIIO subscriber even though I have a working Playnet logon) what payment plans does CRS offer?  Do they permity personal checks or money orders?

If you have a checking account, get a debit card. They cost nothing, and they work just like a credit card.

Except for the small detail that they TAKE MONEY OUT OF YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT.  :)

Better than a credit card, in that you aren't spending money you don't have. ;)

Welcome Back Soldier



Heh.  Sounds like a sign over a potato house door.

Do you sell Amway too? :D

Funkedup hit the nail on the head :)  

  I do appreciate the reply though Blkmgc.  I've had a debit card since 1985 and they are invaluable imo.  I hardly ever use the credit cards now and rarely do I take any $$ out at an atm either.

CC same here K west. I have a lamo,no frills   checking acct set up with a debit card which I use only for internet crap/online games. It rarely sees 75 bucks, so if someone wanted to go through the hastle of hacking it...they would'nt get much. I think there is something like a 4$/month service charge for it.

 Also a great place to stick cash when i want to buy something...then explain it later to the resident CO. ;)

I pre-ordered the game last spring. I had a beta account back then, so the game box and CD numbers are still unopened and never been used. I would like to try it again. However, I only have 56k in my area. Is it possible to request and receive the current CD?

Looks like Westy and few other AH'ers want to give WW2OL a try.  Maybe I'll shell out the money and finally give it a go.  Being a loner in MMOG isnt always fun... if there are enough of us from AH testing this, maybe we could set up a time to get together during the free trial?

Rats will also be allowoing a 2 week freebie..with no need for an account. I dont know when that begins..but if like last time..you simply d/l a full install of the latest version, log in some generic CD key code and play. Will post when it comes up.

I'm so sorry, please disregard my question!
My first impressions were that you were part of CRS and here to help folks who bought the “40 Dollar Beta Gold CD” last year.

the advantage here is that if you have the unused CD key...you get a free month of play instead of 2 weeks. :)  Just set up your acct using your Cd key....no?
