Just passing the info along, don't go taking pot shots at the messenger.
We are contacting all former players via e-mail to let them hear about the latest game updates and starting Friday, December 13th they can come back for a limited time and check it out!
At approximately 1700 ET on Friday, December 13th, we will reactivate all accounts which were closed between June 6th 2001 and December 10th, 2002 for access to the game and forums. This does not apply to banned or special promotional accounts.
We urge you to contact your fallen comrades and let them know about the re-evalution offer to let them see the latest features and gameplay in WWII Online. We also have a few surprises in store for the holidays- tell them not to miss out.
Questions or comments? Discuss it here
Takes at least a 32 meg card that can support 8.1 and that dx must be installed also. The Community Forum is the place to go for tech support. We usually manage to fix problems.

How do find time to play WW2ol when all you ever do is trawl AH boards?
-
Guys, I made my bones in flight simmer in July of '95 when I started flying Confirmed Kill. It will take better shots than that. Interesting you find the fact that I posted a heads up simply to inform, an afront. If you guys are that anti-flight community oriented, things are deteriorating.

Hey hardcase, mind asking the Rats if they can give one of the Aces High cheerlea.. I mean spokesman a forum account so they can "relay information" on the WWIIOL forums whenever there are AH updates?
-
Anytime AH has a freebie or some special, Post it here and I will copy paste it to the Community Forum. Guys, all I was doing was passing on info on a freebie, that some might miss out on due to changing their addys. No hype,it was a cut and paste from CRS just info on a freebie.

AH society seems kind of enclosed one..
Anyone comes to talk of other sim and theres alot of flaming.
I remember the IL-2, people aggressively against the othe rsim also then, albeit not as much as with WWIIOL.
It was tad different during WB.. (well, I haven't cared about it after 1.11, other than for DoA *misses the times*...)
-
I find it in extremely poor taste to come onto another companies privately owned and operated BBS to shill for a competitor.
Such action speaks poorly of the competitor and their lack of conscience and their believe in proper business principals. Recognizing this, I would certainly hesitate to give them a credit card number.
This act of seeming desperation makes me also wonder how badly they must be doing, and how bad the game must be that they need to engage in such contemptable practices.
At least posting when they post on AGW, they are not directly abusing the private property of a competitor.
Another telling point of fact is that HTC is confident in their product, its superiority to this desperate competitor that they don't feel threatened and rather choose to ignore the gall that persons like Hardcase exhibit.
AW is dead, WB is dieing, WW2OL is desperate.
LONG LIVE ACES HIGH! :D

I'm still waiting for my free offer. I may well go in and have another look. Hardcase...can you check on this for me?
My handle was Curval in there too.
-
Oh boy, free garbage .
It's not even a game yet and the graphics are outdated .

When have they not had a freebie ? Free download , first two weeks online have allways been free with no strings attatched, H2H is allways free. And now AH is giving away cash prizes every month .
-
Thanks Hardcase. I haven't received any email for the exact reason you mentioned. The @Home network went away between the time I closed my account and today.
Competitor? Not for me. WWIIOL will never get me to stop supporting AH.
-
does doomie still work there?

There you go. Make that your sig, and every time you post on the WWIIOL boards you keep your promise. ;)
-
I just backed up all my hard disk, i'm willing to give it a try.
I just hope I didnt cancel before mid-2001... absence from that horrid game has been so blissfull ive forgotten when I cancelled.
-
I won't get an email because of the @Home collapse as well likely.
How do we 'former' players get back in?
i can't remember my account login etc
no point in asking this over there because I can't access the boards!!

-
My e-mail hasn't changed, but I don't have the free offer yet.
-
I'll try it again in a second. That game still has potential. I figured it would take them an extra year to get the game completed, and they've had more than a year to fix it since I last played it. It's time to try it again.
Now if I could only remebmer which email address I used for that account.....
-
no
-
If you don't remember your account info email Hatch@playnet.com He should be able to help you.
Remember how the bandwidth was totally taken over by everyone villifying CRS during the first 6 months? That was the reason the forums were closed off. I don't rag on AH or WB when I post here, but there were many ppl who simply went ballistic when they posted on ww2 and without an account. I would like to see one forum opened up to anyone. PPL could ask info etc, and we would also get Blair and crew, but he would be isolated.
I agreed with the closing at the time. Those trying to help were finding it impossible to keep threads from being hijacked. Again, this was just a heads up.]

To me it looks more like about flight simmer community.
Of course new people whos began playing in last two years has no idea of such things, theres just one game and others are evil.
Besides it's off-topic forum whos owners have declared several times that they don't consider WWIIOL as competitor but as an other simulation.
-
Thanks =hard=.
-
i think i should fire up my wwiiol acct that i used for all of 2 weeks and get on their boards simply to relay every news post that htc makes
obviously it's great fun

Be welcome do it in the off-topic forums, thats what they're for.

You are aware that Hardcase spammed every forum on this BBS with his last message?
-
Some 1 have money for me to upgrade to 500.000 GB ram ?
If not i cant play it. :)
-
I think it's good that HTC is not stopping these advertisements. But I think it's even better that the AH community is flaming these posts... :D
-
Got mine now..came this morning. Thx.
Not too keen on the 110mb d/l, or the fact that I probably will have to buy more ram if I decide to play...but, I may try again.
I won't stop flying AH thats for sure.

nope.. i only saw this and some squeaking about putting in other forums
-

He did, and Skuzzy rather politely directed him to limit such posts to the OT. I hope this is not what you are referring to when you mention "squeaking". Anyway, HC knew it was over the top when he did it.

His second post in the Aces High general forums was there because Hardcase is small minded enough to be goaded into posting in the general forums by a few trouble makers at AGW. Once was enough in OT but to spam a second time is just rediculous. Those trouble makers now are passing comments about how much more tolerant they are and mention censorship failing to see how AGW supposedley being independant is different from the company owned and run forums of Hitech Creations and iEN (which I might add he did not post to the iEN forums) To post to HTC's or iEN's forums is like crossing the street and posting adverts for your shop in your competitors shop window, it's not just bad taste it's way way out of order. IMO HTC have been tolerant enough to leave your spam in their OT forums. If I were HTC or iEN I would not allow such blatant advertising. You really are a pathetic specimen Hardcase and a reminder of why I rarely posted or read the WW2OL forums in all the time I held an account there.
-
I remember when people posted about WB/DoA free play events.
Nobody was saying anything about that kind of advertising.
..and I actually minded it nice when someone was telling about those.
-
Once or twice OT is not a problem but two pieces of the same spam in two forums is too much especially considering the closed door approach by CRS to their company forums.
-
I was happy to see this as i want to see how far they have come with the game.
if you arent i can't see why you didn't just press the back button.
-
And if you're happy with the game then why not just play and stop spamming forums not relating to that game.
-
The only forums I posted to are the OT and the general. The General post was moved to OT...."every forum"..kinda not true.
HC
-
Spam..is not a single post. You guys are going hysterical . Get a grip. Some ppl acutally needed to see the info.
HC
-
CRS does not run the forums there, they were handed off to HQ.
HC
-
Don't be so hard on Hardcase, guys! He's obviously just a useful idiot being directed by the rapidly diminishing forces of the dark side.
-
Hardcase> this is not the first time you've spammed here or AGW, this is OT but it's OT for another sim so expect negative replies especially when you have spammed before. Those forums ow run by HQ were run by CRS and now run by HQ as you pointed out but they are still the official forums and still closed to non subscription holders. You got a rough ride here and AGW and called a spammer both places so the cap fits so kindly wear it.
-
I remember when people posted about WB/DoA free play events.
Agreed, but point to the last 500+ post thread relating to these games. ;)
I think Skuzzy was polite about it. He could have just deleted the thread without any comment at all. I think he reminded HC rather mildly. And... HC should know better anyway.

Oh man, thats priceless...and so true.
I hear about WB promos occasionally on this board and it doesnt fiz me at all, even though I would rather slide down a razor banistter into a vat of turpentine than be caught dead on an IEN server. Yet I have no opinion of WW2 online at all, "never played it" and all the WW2online posts here are getting old and on my nerves.
So dont go away mad...just go away.
-
Yes, it seems that Hardcase has company in the position of WW2OLs little squeak. Someone else must have been "fishing" around for that position.
I sure am glad HC is not alone.
Hardcase, can we all log on free to the CRS boards for your game and post? I might like to make sure that any poor newbie to sims etc know about AH. Fishu feels its important that everyone know there are choices are out there, and to be fair to ALL the new players, we must make sure those in WW2OL know about AH (specially since it is a superior flight sim).
Oh yes, HC, dont forget to post that info on that BBS also letting all those players over there know that HTC offers 2 free weeks, and a free HTH version ALL THE TIME. You offered to spread the word about the free stuff, now step up and be good to your word.
AND QUIT SPAMMING YOUR COMPETITORS BOARD.

I posted WB freebie there, I will copy/paste your info there too. Did anyone notice that some ppl got some info they otherwise would have missed. I did.
HC

It is very easy to be good to my word...just posted to Community Forum.
AH Has 2 Week Freebies for New Players.
This is from AH board to me:

BTW Warbirds is having a freebie weekend on the 13th. Browse their board for the particulars.

Yes a very begrudging post made in one forum, c'mon Hardcase you can do better than that, post to the main forums as you did here and while you're at it post some links too for downloads etc as you did at AGW, spread the word!
-
LOL HC, if you did post it, you are a man of your word.
Other than giving Beetle hell, yanking your chain has been the most fun I have had on this board in a long time.
I still maintain using the HTC boards for your companies competiting uses is an unetical practice.
