For the last few weeks we have been quietly onboarding one of the original RATS, "CORN." We're very excited to have him back on our team and you can bet that is a mutual feeling! We've asked CORN to help us out with Production and over the years he has also gained some great experience in project management and Web SEO which will be valuable for boosting our presence in the search engine. He's working closely with HATCH to get up to speed and is immediately focusing on some of those long standing ATG flip bugs you guys have been asking us to resolve. For CORN it's like riding a bike, he's shaking off the dust and is gaining momentum quickly. Contained inside is a great message from CORN to all of you, so keep reading - and once again welcome back CORN!

Programmers are at the tip of the spear at Cornered Rat Software. You'll be moving the game forward by resolving outstanding issues, implementing new features and acting as subject matter experts relating to our technology, and we are seeking additional developers to join our team in an effort to accomplish more for the WWII Online player base. If you're proficient in C++ and you have the motivation to sink your teeth into tough but very meaningful tasks, we'd love to hear from you. If you're interested, please fill out this Volunteer Developer - Questionnaire.
Please don't apply if you do not have at least 2 years of C++ experience; you do not have at least 10 hours per week of actual coding that you can devote to the project, or you anticipate a major life change within 6 months and cannot commit. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!

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!

Hey all, Campaign server will be coming offline at 12PM server time today for approximately 60-90 minutes. We have repaired one of our main boxes and will be returning a current virtual process back to the physical machine. We hope this will improve the performance of the game server and overall connectivity.
The forums will also be coming offline for a few hours as we do an important backup of all data and prepare that for our development environment to test upgrading the software. A good solid productive day here at Cornered Rat Software!
