I think that the monthly access fee is only for applications that will charge for their access and have a subscription as an option. But they really shouldn't have gone nuts and changed it, it's going to make it so confusing now. But I think that steam users use their SteamID and that regular CD users get their WONID and the servers can deal with either one of them.

I thought that people who paid for monthly Steam access would only have a SteamID (and not a WONid). It seems to me that if a MOD does something special with the WONid (like storing persistant data on the server or using it to authenticate a server operator), the MOD would need to be modified to allow for a WONid (numeric) or SteamID (a string). I thought the purpose of the AuthID (a string) was to provide a single function to return the unique identifier for a player (WONid or SteamID depending on what was used for authorization). Is this correct?
