SOW website

lol, it is soon compared to when it was first registerd. If the sim is released in late 2009 assuming there are no problems (Olegs words not mine) then the website will be expired at about the same time. Forward planning eh!

This might explain why there is no website up yet.
A few weeks before x-mas Oleg said he hoped that the sites for SOW:BOB would be open around the end of december. It is not often that something as uncomplicated as putting a page up takes another 7 weeks when it was expected to be only 3 weeks away.

Ubisoft has the domain "stormofwar.com". And as you have been finding out: It seems like Ubisoft has very little to do with this game.

Thus Oleg might have a problem with getting the site up and running. It might be that Ubisoft is just sitting and trying to get some benefits in order to give up the domain.

Just a thought.

Where did we read about SoW forum/website will be on stormofwar.com?

What's wrong with registering a domain name when starting the game development instead of waiting until all important names have been registered to other people?

Storm of War is actually a very silly name for a flight simulation series anyway.
Hopefully it will be changed to something less blandeloquent before release.

Feather, I think we have the makings of a NEW TITLE CONTEST that we we can amuse ourselves with during the next 12 months while we wait for announcement of a finished product to be released some time after that.

Here's a thought:

"Vaporware turned Hopeware turned BloodSweatandTearsWare turned Flyware - We luv Oleg"

Kinda catchy? OK I know it is not clickable but just click your mouse and see what it does.

You have been here long enough now to realise that when they say 'end of December' they really mean 'July if you're lucky'.

If I remember correctly Oleg said long ago (a couple of years ago at least) that he was looking for name suggestions...but the whole thing kinda when nowhere (lol). It was around the time that he was asking about some artist who was posting stuff here, or at Ubi (about doing box art). Maybe you remember.
