To be fair, it's only right that I make a quick follow up post. After the miracle of 30 June (when the login was suddenly successful), I have had uninterrupted service. I even had my first multiplayer experience with RoF. I must say that even though I can't stand their login system, the gameplay online was way too much fun for any one man to have. Aside from the many little gremlins that we all seem to be experiencing (control anomalies, screen flickers, etc...), it really was a blast. Although I can't honestly recommend the game in its current state, I do believe I'll follow the advice of Ming and a couple other people and just hang on to it. There's definitely potential here.

Thanks again to everyone for the help, ideas, and advice. Good flying gentlemen. smile
