Connection to "World Of Trucks" <-- What is this?

[Ghost Rider]

I've been away for a while, but I'm being prompted to link my Steam account to a World of Trucks account.

I'm assuming that's the developer's website, but when I created an account using the same email address I used for Steam it says MY copy of American Truck Simulator is already connected to another account.

"NONE FROM THE GAMES OWNED BY YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT CAN BE USED TO SIGN UP TO WORLD OF TRUCKS."

It's irritating, but what's the value of linking to "World of Trucks"? Should I even care about this?

Any words of advice will be appreciated.

Ciao!

Please contact support on the World of Trucks website. They can investigare what might have happened. We here are players, just like you, and can not do enything with the accounts on WoT website.

Yes, World of Trucks is a website maintained by SCS, the game developer. WoT generates the jobs in External Contracts and External Market. However it is not mandatory to use so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

It sounds like you already signed up for world of trucks the last time you played. It has been long enough that it must be prompting you to sign back in to your account that you dont remember having.

I wonder why you didn't just go straight to the WoT website and look there? There's nothing anyone on here can do but tell you to go to the website or email:
http://[e-mail] for assistance.
WoT runs all the ATS events and rewards, and logs all your WoT deliveries and awards you achievements.
It is totally optional, nobody is forced to sign up, but you will miss out on the events and awards (paint jobs, interior decorations etc). All the WoT jobs are different to the normal game jobs and you can finish them in real time, which some players find useful if they have limited time for playing sessions.
It's part of the SCS community ethos to keep players engaged and interested.

All responses appreciated. Thank you!

I did go straight to the WoT website, and contact them via http://[e-mail] for assistance.

Just thought that additionally I might learn something more from the player base, so again thanks for confirming and for your help.

I strongly suspect that ttower is on the right track "...already signed up for world of trucks the last time you played" and I've once again lost track of another account / login. Will continue my follow up with WoT.

Losing track of my accounts happens all to often to me the older I get. :) As long as it's not my bank account, we're all good.
