The 10th anniversary of the WWIIOL:Battleground Europe launch is coming up soon. Hard to believe that not only has our game survived the storms to last a full decade, but that there's also a huge list of players who have weathered those storms alongside us.

Keeping an MMO of this scale running for 10 years is no small feat, not to mention the regular updates. We're proud of our accomplishment and we're proud to have one of the most dedicated player base to be found in gaming. To honor this unique milestone, we have released a set of Official T-shirts through Cafepress.com. Our resident artist, Bruce "TOTO" Patnaude has designed two shirts: An Axis theme and an Allied theme.

The actual process of resetting can take a long time, depending on how long the campaign ran. Skurcey wants to know "Why aren't stats compiled during intermission? I've always wondered?"
