Time to say Goodbye
« on: July 06, 2005, 06:30:12 PM »
I said hello to the good people of Aces High in 2001 and was soon recruited into the Firebirds by Nexx.

Over the past 4 years I have had a blast and apart from trips to the Carribbean (thanks to Floyd Michelle and Ivan) I have been online and been 190 fodder (205 Spit 9 109 et al fodder) almost every week for 4 years.

However it is now time for me to say goodbye to Aces High.

I have grown up.

However the MA has not !

When I started this game was as good as it gets. Now however it is no longer good enough for me.

I have explained to HTC what my reasons are and hope to find a better place in future.

I will keep an eye on things here and will be back if the product is back on the top or near to the top.

If your waiting for the MA to "grow up"

Sorry to see you go Adjuster. I hope you find what you are looking for, but I doubt you will.

I don't know you but I have to ask, Do you feel better now that you dropped the cheap shot bomb on this BBS?

This is not an attack on you. I just don't know why folks seem to think they have to attack HTC/AH when they are no longer interested in playing anymore. I haven't been here long enough to know what "the good old days" were like, but I've been around long enough to know that the "good old days", no matter they were, are never comming back. It is futile to wish that they will.

I hate to say this Clifra but the good old days are NOW. :)

I've been around for 12-13 years now and guess what? Everyday is the good old days as long as you come, enjoy yourself and have a good time with the friends you've made as a result of the game.

As far as history? Every flight you make goes into the history books, if you get my drift. Each flight has something different to offer because you are not playing against a computer but another, thinking (sometimes anyway) human being and when you get your squad together and take some far off field it's just one more thing to remember about how much fun the game is giving you. Those that participated in the mission will remember it and those that fought to stop your mission will also remember. Even those that see the base capture message will remember it, albiet sometimes fleetingly.

So new or old the game is refreshing each time you take to the sky!

I can do nothing but agree with you Ren. I am just about to complete my 1st year in AH and I am enjoying it very much. Sure there are things that annoy me but not so that I would think about quitting.

My comment was that I see so many people in here lamenting the "by gone days" when the MA was supposed to be so great and how bad it is now.  I am sure there were people "back then" who were doing the same thing. It's a futile pipe dream. You can't go back there and when you try it is always a disapointment. This is truth in AH and in Real Life.

I'm having a blast and don't want to see much of anything changed.

Clifra my post may not be to your taste but I dont think I have won the "Cheap Shot Of The Day" Award.

I have met and spoken to a lot of people in this game over the last 4 years and was saying goodbye and letting them know why I was leaving i.e. I am not bored , not broke, not getting divorced etc.

It probably wasnt the most eloquent post in history but I wont and purposefully didnt attempt to slag off this game or HTC because for me for a long time and for many people this game still is "The Dogs Bo**ocks" of online flight combat.

Maybe I should have said that I evolved quicker than this game.

Anyway  To those people who knew me "Happy Hunting"  To those that didnt you just lost an easy kill (usually in a Spit IX or Tiffie)
