The HTH servers at HTC will be FULL.

Quoteth HiTech several months ago when asked in the MA if he was worried about what will happen when WWIIOnline comes out.
"Actually, I'm looking forward to when they finally release it".
-
cc, some people were putting all their hope into that, and there will be big frowny faces. I wonder how many will whine somewhere else like they did here.
And I should know, oh yes, the frustration, I was there.
hahahahahahha yes HTC fanboys, but get ready, for once $%#@^%&$%# comes out, youre out of business!!! finally!! realistic flying LW planes!! cya suckers!! i hope you enjoy paying your $30!! hahaha!!

-
took me a while to figure this one out ..
Mandoble me thinks it's about WW2OL shipping to retailers yesterday.

Quick! Someone go put molasses in all the 190 and 109 fuel tanks while they're all in the hangars!!

Couldn't agree more guys!
(remembers all those WB pilots who kept saying "think I'll wait till WWIIOL is out")
Come on over guys, the Water is fine!
-
ahhh.. finally.
The truth will dispell the myths.
to all the people that thought WWIII would be the end-all sim to blow everyone away...
well.. I hate to say I told ya' it wouldn't but...
the truth hurts eh ? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)_

Hehehe, WW2OL is just an infant compared to AH, let's see what happens in the future, it's allready one of the best selling games on the Web.
And for those who care to ask "You have no idea bla bla bla"
I do...
-
I don't remember which started when, but seems like WWIIonline started development about the same time if not sooner than AH?
-

And I being the MAster of the Obvious, know your still on the AH BBS, rather than playing WWIIOL. Hmmm, I have a good idea as well.

It started a couple of months after.
-
Anyways.. it's out and now folks got 3 Sims to choose from .. and competition ain't a bad thing i've heared :)
-
I remember a looong beta followed up by a free download here at AH before I decided that this was where I wanted to spend my online money :) And it is still that way.
This new infant on the block may not dig too deep into the monthly budget but I think it is going to be high maintenance and in the long run cost the same. Right off the bat I'd need to upgrade this PC to get a decent fps? My 600mhz isn't going to cut it and the graphics are definately a several bars below AH.
But even if I had a 1.2gig kitchen sink PC I need to first *buy* the cd the game comes on? Then rush home and download a patch that is 5 times the size of AH itself? While later on I'd have to buy more cd's for more theatres and undergo with more large patches?
Anyone been 5n1p3r3d yet? ;)
Course it could be fun to open an account and complain about how the 109 FM is porked and both it and the Stuka are overmodelled! :) Start an Anti-Allied Conspiracy!! ;)

***DUE TO THE HIGH LOAD ON OUR SERVERS, THE FORUMS WILL BE DOWN THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SO THAT USER SIGNUPS WILL NOT BE HINDERED***
From WW2OL forum.
Looks like they have more than their 10 servers capable of serving 10 000 players (each) can handle. :rolleyes:
-
Finally.. with the riff-raff off to see if the fediddlein grass is greener over there mebbe we'll have a day or two of decent fights in the MA.
Which is were I'm off to now; dammit. :)
Hang
-
Releasing it to who? :cool:
-
You guys are funny. You sound like the AGW when they released AH.

Yea, but AH was a FREE download and FREE beta and FREE trial period. Unfortunately WW2OL makes you shell out big $$$ for the privledge of being a beta tester :(
-
I would tell ya how many were already in and playing while I was trying to, but I can't. I will tell ya this, it was almost twice as many as I've ever seen in an AH arena. Obviously, I didn't make it though huh? Go figure.

Well theres currently 192 in there. It peaked at 360ish.
-
We'll see just how well WW2OL will do. It's basically a strat game, we can't get 30 bish working towards one goal. How will they do that with over 500 people on a side?
wait and see attitude here. Methinks that diehard flight simmers will be disappointed. saw some graphics , cockpit views from a spit straffing a panzer. I wasn't impressed. and I doubt seriously if they've put the time and money into correct FMS' with so much other code to write :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
-
I told you so !! opps I wasn't going to say that. :( I heard a tester say he needed more ram to play it . I heard another say "wwiionline is a sim in progress" I guess what he was saying is it sucks and will be a few more $30.00 cd's before its worth a sheet
-
14,600 has already downloaded patch from 3dfiles. Dunno if thats a true but so that site claims...
-

uups 19329 and counting... 19344...

It's obvious why forum is down. Not because of trafic, but censorship! This way CRS avoids those huge whines passing to other ppl. :)
EDIT: Something wonderful, like 67.3MB patch download!
:eek:

Actually Gadly, AGW was not nearly this hostile towards AH when it entered open beta. There hadn't been a two-year long "prep fire" from the cheerleaders like we've had with WWIIOL. :)
-
I bought WW2OL today.
Yes I am angry about what is going on right now. And I do feel like this game is not giving me my moneys worth.
The Worst thing is that It will not work with my Microsoft joystick. I am hoping this will be fixed in this 70 meg patch :rolleyes: (19 hour download for me)And the problems with the "BOXED VERSION" (more like beta version)
are horrible.
but im not going to give up so soon, Just like other games the first release is always a little querky or a lot querky.
Well see...

Actually, I saw it peak around 580 or so last night.
But to be true, there are alot of teething problems. But having said that, I do see its potential for the long run.
