Begging no, they know a lot of former players left in disgust and when there is a major fix they invite em back to look at it. Perhaps their dying is just wishful thinking, you think?

I'd like them to be successful. If that were the case, they would have a game that was worth playing, and I wouldn't be out $40.

Obviously they are trying to attract old players and new players, but if they were successful, why would they need to extend the free trial?

They can't even GIVE this crap away.

because there was a major patch released tonight

why would you sjtop a reval when you have a major change in gameplay. Doenst cost them anything to extend it and makes good sense....remember when AH was 2 weeks free trail? AH dying?

since you think it is crap, when was the last time you played?

Ah is still two weeks free trial +) they don't extend it a week if you don't subscribe, nor do they reset 2 weekers every update +) they don't need to

SKurj

I still personally can't justify spending the $15 a month on ww2ol (canuck bux eh) the flight sim part of the game is not there for me at all.

other stuff i dislike:
Its unfriendly for solo players
comms suck BIGTIME
still gfx issues with MX cards, tho they have improved
still pauses when in flight
inf is a chore to play
tanks are good, but not worth the subscription fee

I never would have found out about Laser Squad Nemesis if someone had not posted here about it.

Hey that game looks interesting. What would you compare it to? Something like Fallout 2 ? Think I'll download it.

Hardcase, will developers spend more time on flight models? I belonged to the beta-tester group for a while, however FM topics, discussions and improvements were rare, very rare. Looked like infantry and vehicles were the first priority. WW2OL FM's is *very* smooth, I like it, still I find AH and WB FM more challenging and in some way realistic (ehm). But thats just MNSHO

"remember when AH was 2 weeks free trail? AH dying?"

AH has ALWAYS had a free 2 week trial for every potential customer who was interested. Bad comparison.

The fallout series was a blast, 1 &2 anyway. I never tried "Tactics."

Tactics was good.

LSN is pretty different... if anyone wants to play a game, send me one - haven't played in a while, but I bought it.

I appreciate Hardcase posting here, because were it not for that, I wouldn't have re-discovered WW2OL, and would've continued to think it was in the same state as I left it a year ago.

LOL!! I cancelled last night (again) for the LAST time in... oh I'll guess about 10 patches. I made it about 3 weeks this time around. The game itself is somewhat better, but it's still kinda a drag really. Then I got hit with this newest patch and immediately got some kind of "file is not valid and cannot be updated". Checked the FAQ, thier fix didn't work so... buhbye. Personally I find it no more entertaining than I did when it came out and... the FM is still a major joke.

tumore there is one full install . If you patched it, lots can go wrong. Think the full install is about 90 megs.

hardcase

As I understand it, this latest patch is just a tech patch, no real in-game updates. I got some time with the ??.. 1.64? Still boreing. The big patch is 105mg and I'm done wasting money and time on it. I'll try again in vs 3.0.

I will go back when the AAA (Armored Axis Aircraft) get another look. I'm tired of pouring a ton of lead into a plane, setting it smoking, then watching it fly around killing stuff for the next 15 minutes before running away, all the while not exhibiting one iota of performance degradation. I'll admit the game was fun until it became quite clear something was seriously wrong with damage. Player tests this week confirmed my suspicions, CRS gave a "hmmm something might be wrong, we'll get to that sometime" answer, and I figure I have better things to do with my time.

Of course I have had generous offers to train me where to shoot, but I think I know how to shoot by now.

No prob, most of those guys meant well by their comments, but the fact remains the .303s are worthless against the heavy armor of the Axis air. If 5 seconds of fire cannot even tear off an aileron, it's time to play another game.
