longest stretch i've played AH was 13 hours, with a half hour lunch break. when i first started, all i wanted to do was play. nearly lost sight of everything else. the game is addictive and we can all admit to being addicted. you'll here us all teh time referring to each other as "AH addicts." we're a proud cult of sorts. its when you cant go through a day w/o thinking of what you were doing the previous night and how you can improve on it that you know ur hooked.

octospider0,

The only online games I've every played are this and it's predecessor (Warbirds).
How big are the biggest MMORPG games in terms of player base, numbers online at once, etc. and what are they called.

EVE ONLINE TOPS 10.000 SIMULTANEOUS PLAYERS IN THE SAME WORLD
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, April 28 CCP announced today that EVE Online has broken through the 10.000 simultaneous users threshold, when 10.396 users played EVE Online at the same time in the same world. This confirms that a "one world" game design is not just a vision but a reality and breaks the boundaries a multi-world (shards) game design places on players. "The EVE 'one world' design has enabled CCP to create the single largest MMORPG world to date according to our information," said Hilmar Veigar Petursson, CTO at CCP.

My favourite " you know your'e addicted" is when a car pulls out in front of you in traffic , you pull back on the wheel and think "no problems , I'll just go vertical"

haha, HT you are a not a player :)
Many many times before i sleep, i think complicated acm 1vs3-4.
I try to compute their movements in real time .
After i try to do it in reality. Very difficult. But sometimes i succeed for some 20-30 sec. and sometimes my hand skills dont follow my
mind movements, ( im a 43 yo tard :) )
 When in these rare moments i succeed to follow the movements of 3-4 nmy planes at the same time is like time stops.
This is the Zen of Dogfighting :)

ps i usualy wake up as holes are opening in my aluminum skin:)

the game I left to come here "star wars galaxys" had and 20k+ player base.  Before that is was Ultima Online which at its peak was somthing 60K.  Both had multi servers for different countries.

With that many players, there is no way for a dev team to have personal responses let alone their dev posting on the boards.
