All of you that have been following what has been happening around the Original War community lately already know that it has been a very interesting couple of months. The official opening of the main website, the merger of most of the Polish community on this website, a new and strong server, and the project that you have been waiting for years finally nearing its final stage of completion.

We cannot deny it: the Original War community is living through its second renaissance right now. And we're not about to stop working.

The Original-war.net staff has been in contact with our Czech friends from OWAR Centrum during the past week and we have all agreed that it would be a great new step for the Czech community to open their own section on this very website. As of today the Original-war.net website and forum is going to be served in English, Polish and Czech. Say welcome to our new Czech administrators and staff: Morphid, Timeshifter, Spooker, Sasheva and Bulisek.


Although the only parts of the website that are currently translated are the interface, we will be working on bringing you as many articles of OW.net as possible in Czech in addition to their English and Polish versions. Stay tuned.

Stucuk has just released new version of 1.11.0 beta patch which you can download here on OWS Beta Test section.

Contains latest Bug Fixes and latest multiplayer map stuff (So you can't play anyone who has used a previous 1.11.0 with this one, both players need this version).

New beta-version of 1.11 patch is now available.
You can download it from Open Beta Test forum in OWSupport.com (Access requires login).

We are inviting you to test and report bugs.

It's about time. After many problems and server changes the website is finally online as it should be. It took us a while, but the end result is what matters... as well as the fact that this is only the beginning.

What's new on the website
The long promised new website engine has been created, and has allowed us to launch a multi-lingual version of the site. For now it's only the polish and english versions, but in the future it's very much possible to add more languages to the list. We have also merged with two prominent polish Original War websites (Akademia OW and OW Spot) in order to bring closer together the entire polish Original War scene. It brings me great pleasure to welcome among the admin team Gothuk, Sebek and Ph3nom.

What can we expect
The future will bring both new ideas and the completion of old projects. Above all a functioning multiplayer ranking, which is currently being worked on by the team, will be released in a beta version to the public soon. New tournaments and mods will still be created, along with proper tutorials detailing how to create an Original War mod from scratch. A comprehensive list of all mods along with their progress charts and descriptions is also being worked on.

All this and more will be featured on the website in the near future, by the scene for the scene. All that is left for you to do is wait, or perhaps help.

Feel free to contribute to the discussion on the forum.
