We're done! You're back online and can keep playing this awesome game with many players from around the globe. Although the servers are fairly barren at the moment, as more people hear about this patch soon player numbers will rise again.

Only permanent accounts will work with special profile-based server features like bank systems or admin logins. They are not immediately ready for action, but have to be manually created by the admins, what will take a few days. To request a permanent account, register and login to GermanCrysis.com forum. Then follow this < < LINK > >.[www.germancrysis.com] In this form simply write the text "account request" and your preffered password. When you are done, send the message. That's all.
