World War II Online is a more popular game tham most online gamers realize. At any given time their forums alone register no fewer than 200 active readers, which is more than the average player concurrency of many games that we cover here. So, to all those closet Allied and Axis soldiers, it‘s time to get out of the basement and meet your comrades and enemies up close and personal-like.

The 2006 official player convention is being held May 25th through May 27th in Fort Worth, Texas.

This year‘s event is bigger and better because we‘re kicking things off a day earlier- giving more time for gameplay, convention events and meeting your fellow players. Yes, there will be LAN play. Yes, there will be paintball. Yes, there will be lots of food and drink. Yes, there will be presentations, special events and con t-shirts. Yes, every Rat will be in attendance!

It is important to pre-register now in order for planning to take place. Deadline for pre-registration is March 24th.
