Return of Free Play Access

[Cornered Rats 79]

At my direction, our team at CRS has restored perpetual Free Play to WWII Online, effective immediately. I'd like to go into detail as to the available access Free Players will receive, discuss the big picture of Free Players and how they will be integral to the WWII Online experience, and share some insights and reflections that I have had reviewing recent decision making. If you've created a Free Play account now - or in the past, it should now be active and available for you to play. Continue reading for the details on this significant announcement.

Thanks for doing this. I think it will be good for the game and hopefully get more soldiers into the fight. 

Salute!

Excellent move. Thank you.

Hopefully this helps the game!

I really hope any incessant threads of ‘I need more free stuff!’ are closed when they get out of hand (or started, lol).

One thing about the free accounts. Not sure why they cannot help assist cap a depot, or set a fms. These are things that are fundamental to game play, and it seems like we are encouraging just even more snipers. Also, if the free play players cannot cap, why do their numbers contribute to the cap timer equation?
