Original Pricing Unlocked - $9.99/mo

User Rating: 5 / 5

Happy July 1st everyone! As we announced in our, "The Future of WWII Online", article/videos (which places all the plans on the table) - we have now completed all elements of our transition with consolidating our subscriptions (removing Starter, All Infantry, All Air Force and All Ground Forces - all of which are being converted over to premium as we speak) and we're back to having a "Premium" subscription only. With that, we've unlocked the games original pricing of $9.99/mo (USD), this is the first time it has been at this retail rate in over 15 years. As we said in our original announcement unveiling this plan, this is a big risk for us to take and in order for us to keep it at this rate, we're going to need existing players to hold onto their current subscriptions AND see a growth with this new rate (free players or returning players subscribing). We've done it to meet customer requests and remove as much entry barrier as possible, we can't go any lower than this. We do reserve the right to roll this back if required, as we have briefed everyone upfront.

This isn't just about keeping the lights on, or focusing strictly on what content and features you get... it's much bigger than that. It's about the FUTURE of the game. I want you all to think of this like an internal funding campaign ~ because it really is. Help us innovate and bring the next 20 years of WWII Online to the masses. We need 100% of your support - right now. Spread the word about this exciting and big news and help us get everyone involved, let's go!

Welcome aboard, Kempi!

User Rating: 5 / 5

As we aim to refine and improve our release process, I am happy to announce that I've appointed "KEMPI" as our newest RAT and Quality Assurance team lead. The QA team provides a critical function for CRS as it tests all changes made that our Development and Production team is making, and ensures that the final end product is the best as possible. Kempi has been a long time player of our game and knows it inside and out, both as a player and a High Command officer. We are very lucky to have him onboard.

WBS Extension & Call to Action

User Rating: 3 / 5

XOOM

S! Soldiers, Airman and Sailors of WWII Online. Yesterday we had our greatest online presence of users since our original Steam release, with over 2.5x the normal population and we got up to 6 Attack Objectives ~ which is seriously awesome! I have seen many great friends of our community come back, a wave of enthusiasm from our players who are here, and a request from many to continue WBS. Therefore I'm announcing today a free 72 hour extension to "Welcome Back Soldier," which will push the end date from March 24th (Tuesday) to March 27th (Friday). I am also announcing, that all Free Players will receive ALL INFANTRY access with immediate effect, until March 27th as well.

We know that times are hard and we're happy to be one of the online services in a position to help ease the current burdens being placed on friends all over the globe. As WWII Online has a world-wide fanbase, we take this entertainment option quite a bit more seriously. I think it's also important to say that WWII Online has had a hard time in Q4-2019 and we're still coming out of recovery. So we hope that we've been able to show our willingness, in mutual tough circumstances, to provide the free service that we can to the extent that we can. I am also hopeful, along with all of my colleagues at CRS that we see many of you stay, and subscribe come this weekend. Veteran players... be on the look out for a special offer e-mail sent to you, we will do everything we can to accommodate these difficult times.

This past weekend demonstrated that while WWII Online has been around awhile, when we have our players packed into the server, it's unlike anything else in the gaming industry. It was truly exceptional and I'd like to thank everyone for their participation over this weekend, we hope you stay with us for more!

Server Patch: 15MAR2020

User Rating: 4 / 5

XOOM

This evening our team deployed a patch to the WWII Online server in an effort to stabilize things. That fix did work, but it broke something else. We are preparing for another deployment on our server Monday, March 16th 2020, and you may see some instability overnight until that server hot fix is deployed. CRS Game Management will be on alert for game crashes throughout the night. The training server will remain online and operational throughout that time. We will work to keep the Campaign online as best we can, but until this next hot fix is out (Monday sometime), anticipate additional crashes. Thanks for your patience and understanding, we are working on stabilizing this and will get it done.
