I  have a few questions about this game. I am an old player, and when I say old I mean from the first year this game was released. I have not played this game since I  was in high school, and I am in my fourth year of college now.

1. Is the game better now than it was a long time ago?

I remember, many things were in the works . The boats to carry troops, more combat naval ships more planes etc. Have they done a good job of putting these things into the game?

2. Does this game still provide good memories, and has the squad system been improved?

This game used to create good memories even though sometimes things got boring. Defending a bunker when you were surrounded and out of supplies was fun. Sniping  five soldiers on a major base attack was fun. Lets not forget pulling off a small forward base capture with just 3 people.

 

3. Are the system req and graphics still the same?

I really don't care about graphics. Considering the size of the game, I will cut it some slack.

4. Have any battles actually been started in England?

When I used to play England was never a  battleground. You could spawn  units there but no action

5. Are the sides still evenly balanced? 

I played the German side .

6. Should I create a new account or use my old one?

It has been so long since I played. My old account had a moderate rank, but if things have changed so much, should I just start over?

 

Thank you in advance. I am sorry if my comments after the questions are boring. I am just taking a trip down memory lane, since this was my first MMORPG I every played

There is no comparison to the game today to the first year. You will be very happy if and when you return:-). Navy is still only a gunboat, destroyer, and a freighter for each side and very few battles are fought along the coast till near the end of the Allied map. Allies are winning this one. System requirements have increased. TOE are in, attrition is in, Sounds are awesome. Looking for one of hte lastese vidoes that won a contest. Wach some of the linked vids on other threads. Email Bloo@playnet.com and tell him you are returning. Your old account was probably purged years ago, but you should not have to buy a new code. There is always a 2 week freebie, no CC required running. Try that.

There are a small but very active naval community. The naval game depends on the frontline. If the front has moved far enough to east (like it is at the moment I write this) is the naval game dead. When the front has moved so it involves open-sea ports will it wake again.

During WWII Online history has there been quite a good numbers of bigger landing operations on Englands shores. Particular now when we can establish a beach-head with paratroopers. It doesn't happen ever map, but when the oppertunities gives will you see it for sure.

But you will definitely see fantastic and big naval battles between groups of Destroyers.

Gophur is also dwelling on two pet-projects of him.

A) To find a nice solution for adding naval mobile spawn-points (like the truck function we already have since 2005).

B) To find a good solution for how to add convoy-functions of some sort.

There are no definit plans for this, but from various post by Gophur do I understand that he really want to add these two features as soon as it is possible. But at the same time is it two delicate issues to solve to make it right. So I assume it is still on the drawing table, but still.

Forgot to add, you can download the game for free and try all the equipment off-line. Then can you see if your computer is up for it.
