I do understand your stance. And it is indeed frustrating that due to the limited size of the community, there are not too many servers available and often even fewer server owners. And because of that, a user's ability to play the game can (effectively) be down to the whims of a few individuals.

However, what we need to understand is that it's (generally) their server. They can regulate it how they want (within certain reasonable constaints, of course). We (the 25Assist team) do encourage keeping servers open and not banning people due to personal grudges and other subjective reasons. However, we're unlikely to intefere in these situations. We simply don't have the standing to do so.

I suppose the way to better manage this would be what the US Army did. To centralise the server ecosystem and only allow certain servers in our server lists (however one would curate them). However, we (25Assist / aao25.com) are in no legal position to be doing this. This game still belongs to the US Army. We help make the game playable, but don't try to levy undue influence on it (for the most part at least - and especially lately).

Again, I'm sorry you've been frustrated by the situation you've come back to. I wish the community saw the value of having a diverse (read: large) set of players even if some of them - compared to the ones in charge of the servers - are more skilled than the ones, or have different politcal views, or sexual orientation, or wear their wedding ring on the wrong finger, or have something else arbitrarily different about them. But that's saddly not the world we live in.

I don't see an account with the name 'odball'. Are you sure you've signed up for an Assist account here? This is different from your forum account.

There's certainly an account with that name. ID is 884473. But it's not been activated or logged in to 25Assist.

Understood. No idea what's going on. Pass is correct, not forgotten.
I'm able to login on forum, but not in the assist (using the same data).
VPN is not used by me.

Any remedy?

Have you tried just resetting? your password and using a new one?

You have registered an account under your name. The login name and the in game name are both "odball". So use that along with your password to log in to 25Assist.

Unfortunately I don't see anything our database about any old accounts by that name. Effectively that means you did not use your BattleTracker credentials to log in to 25Assist and as such we do not have your details.

And unfortunately (though somewhat unsurprisingly) we do not have access to the actual / original user database that the US Army was using. As such, we cannot look up or verify your honor from there.

Best advice I can give is two fold:
1. Try and find a previous screenshot of you in game with your honor showing. This is easiest if you have data from back in the day still lingering around (old hard drive / PC, forums, and so on).
2. Try and find a history Battletracker page of your username on Wayback machine. Browing through the toplist pages could work. Or map toplists. But if you didn't have a BT account, this option won't work, of course.

We do not distinguish between any different forms of armed forces membership (active, different branches, and so on). We simply do not have the capability to do so.

We give out the "Active Duty Army" to all US servicemen (and women) that send us (to [email protected]) an email from their .mil email with details about their account (account name is sufficient).

Have you tried the steps in the FAQ?

Didn't it release in the 10th of oct or December of 2024?

Yes. And you'd think there'd be a beta or a full release now, wouldn't you? But there isn't (as far as I can tell anyway)...
