that would be nice except they would go bankrupt within a month.

I thought this game folded because of lack of players and income? O,o

No it hasn't folded.  There has been an ebb and flow of players but a solid core of players have always been around

I wish CRS had included screen shots with the press release that would have illustrated these unit markings.

Out of all the games I have played. This once was uninstalled the fastest.

That's funny, out of all the games I've played, this is the only one I didn't uninstall after 2 weeks.

Thanks for the link. They look nice.

This is the only game I have played regularely since 2002. All the others gets boring within a few hours lile WoW;  or days like BF, Doom3 and RO. Some games gets my interest for a few weeks like MoH and CoD (ony due to a decent storyline in single player mod. Other makes it a few month like HoI and Total War before I'm done with them.

WWIIOL have stucked on me. Hard to tell one thing for why. Proberbly since it is a very complexed and difficult game that always gives an awesome challange to the player. Since WWIIOL has so many dimensions as well as a great tactical and strategical depth plus that it's the most realistic WWII MMOG out there is it very hard to find a more challeging WWII MMOG out there.

At the same time do I understand that the hard realism isn't for everyone. Many gamers wants an easy casual game without a step learning curve. A game where you can take the role of a Hollywood invincible Hero ala Rambo, and just RunN'Gun at a few other sports. I don't fancy that very much, but that is just me.

I guess it is just too difficult to most kids, why it isn't a surprice that the middle age of the player base is over +30 years old, and that many players are active or retired military personal.
