CT and or Special Events accounts only?

I ask this because I have lost several squadies in the past few months, but more than one of them has said if HTC had an events only, SEA (Special Events Arena) account they would sign up for that.

I would venture a guess there are others out there that no longer have AH accounts, but would reopen one so they could fly in Snapshots, Squad Operations, or Scenarios when possible. Would you lose more revenue from current players switching to a lower priced account or gain from those that don’t have an account and sign up for an events only account? No idea here and don’t know if you have considered it.

Maybe this is something you all are looking at for the TOD? Again no idea here. I wish I had thought to ask you guys about it at the CON.

I was going to just e-mail you about it, but figured I would just post it because I am sure there are others who could add some worthwhile cents to this topic.

Thanks for your time. :)

i think HTC offers a combo CT/SEA account for $14.95/month.

How about a 24 hr account option---$2.95---Handles could be a problem tho--altho like Shane I agree that 15 bucks is a poor excuse to leave a game that has no rival.

I'd personally rather see the vets only come out once or twice a month than cancel accounts and never show up wishing they could.

lol Shane. :)

Your right Sax, it is not much, but if your only flying 3 times a month is it worth it?  

For $5 or $7 a month someone might stick around for some kind of limited account.

I agree.  I cancelled my account because I did not have the time to play anymore.   I would like to have the option of a limited account so that I could play once or twice a week  though.  
all it's been awhile...

Hows about picking 8-10 deleted accounts and give it a try on a max 15 hr per tour account.
Kinda a pay HT survey to see.

The number players that are no longer subscribers and would come back is only one side of the coin.

There are also some players with almost unused accounts that might downgrade...
