I first started playing wwiionline back in 2006, it's one of the best games I've ever played. I've been working with them for nearly 4 years now - obviously I cant tell you whats going on behind the scenes! but there's stuff happening.
I'd never really gamed much online until I started playing it, my first battle was in Verdun at the bottom of the map - must have been 600 vs 600 players on, and it was immense. Sadly numbers don't quite reach that any more, but it's still fun with 200 or so people fighting for towns and cities. I've had some great experiences in game, and it shows - I can average a KD per campaign of anywhere from 3.0 to 8.0 (1.5 is considered about average)
My favorite ever sortie, 5 years ago - my 18th Birthday to be exact! there was a free to play event going live and a lot of new guys came on board, numbers were high ... and I was defending the land between Hasselt and the near by enemy forward base. I set up my Mg34 and racked up perhaps 17 kills and a few truck kills before running out of ammunition. I was in the high command at the time - and waaaay back in the day, high commanders had overly tight fitting officer uniforms ... I charge the next truck load of british soldiers (mostly new guys) using my luger, killing the driver and 7 of the 11 occupants - pulled my knife and killed a further 3 (the knife is about as useful as a paperclip in wwiionline) before getting nailed by the latter.
Since, I've become pretty skilled in most weapons - rifles - smgs, anti tank guns, anti air - tank vs tank etc. It's a stupidly difficult game - I still panic and get killed even after 8 years.
Graphically, it's not great - infact it's pretty dismal in places (and its very difficult to work with) but hell - it's not the graphics that count, it's the game play and I haven't found as good a fight as ww2 online in... say, call of duty, or red orchestra. Just wish I had more time to jump in and cause havok.
