The Incredible World
A game world beyond anything you have seen
The vast majority of games are "arena" types, where you play in a tiny area with invisible walls. Most MMO's are also limited in size, and those that attempt to have huge play grounds do so with "ZONES". Battleground Europe: World War 2 Online is magnitudes larger, dwarfing all others, COMBINED!
(note: the map has grown significanly since this comparison was created! Now is 800km by 400km!)
Like any game you will need to take time to learn how to play it.
Fortunately there is lots of helpful players in game and guides to help you play, a dedicated Training Server, and this Wiki being an excellent start on your adventure. Once you get comfortable with the game, check out the tips and tricks page to get some pointers.
Best of all, there is a separate Training Server with reduced damage, so you can be hit more.
