I used to play a lot a while ago, and bought the lifetime subscription (if you want to call it that) and then today I try to play for the first time in more than a few months and it says I have to wait for a new game because I'm not subscribed. Can anyone offer an explanation for me? Greatly appreciated.

Hey C!

Welcome back!
There are lots of new features and yes, a subscription is now required to have instant reentry and supposedly to the more lag-free servers. It comes to $1.99 / month for most sysyems. Free at is still possible if you don't mind the wait.

For the best explanation of changes check zup's posts in the announcement section.




Btw, depending on your system, in game recording is now available.

I've never heard of the "lifetime subscription" offer. If you only paid $1.99, you signed up for 30 days. Times up.

Thanks McFate. No, Finn, a few years ago I paid $4.99 to have lifetime access, and I was just wondering what had changed.

Hi BigC! Yup lots changed, i had paid the 4.99 lifetime also. Most folks here dont remember those days of a couple years ago and seem surprised. Some folks never paid a dime until the subscription plan came along. Even now there are lots who dont pay. Subscribers are now identified on forum by a gold crown under their names by the pm button.
