Matt "Xoom" CallahanHappy Birthday to WWII Online as it turns 22 years old today (Est. June 6th 2001)! Over the years our game has seen a lot, good and bad, but we have endured. Congratulations to the WWII Online community and all past and present RATS who have paved the way to this moment. We're on the way to doing big things, and our next big initiative is to transition our store page on Steam from Early Access --> Full Release on Thursday, July 6th 2023. This will result in a large number of players joining the game and today we wanted to lay the plan out for you to prepare as a community for all of these new players. Please continue reading as it has specific details on this and to see some legacy videos and artwork as we reflect on 22 years of the game. S!

Matt "Xoom" CallahanWe are actively absorbing player feedback regarding Proximity AOs. As with anything when we incorporate a new big update, we monitor its progress closely and make changes as needed. After some chats with Game Management and reviewing feedback so far, tonight we're updating the following:

1) The number of players it takes to register Heavy Infantry EWS will be changed from 5 to 3. This should help in lower population times. We want to make it easier for players to assemble and deploy an AO, while still using the Prox AO system. This may get reverted if we find it becomes too easy or problematic.

2) Newly established Allied garrisons will still have a 10-minute grace window to change to the country of their choosing, however upon making that choice it will only take 1 minute (down from 5) for that action to take place. This should alleviate the problem of not being able to choose the preferred country for your garrison if a counterattack comes quickly... providing AHC responds fast enough.

3) Proximity AOs will now stay online for at least 15 minutes "AFTER" your already established AO is below the Heavy EWS threshold. This means AOs should have a greater opportunity of staying online as players cycle in and out between respawns and deploying mobile spawns.

Matt "Xoom" CallahanTonight we start Campaign 195 and it includes several changes. We are opening up several weapons available as free unlocks for the duration of the campaign to our Free Players in an effort to showcase these weapons in a live scenario and increase the server population. We are also looking at rolling back to a simplified 4 Tier system (Tier 0, 1, 2 and 3) to avoid confusion and keep the transition of tiers smooth. The theme for this campaign is squad development - rebuild your squad by bringing folks back and helping new players! Please continue reading to learn more about that and the settings for Proximity Attack Objectives, which will be featured for the first time for a whole campaign, and welcome aboard our two new Side Commanders!
