For those who left.

Many squads have several old (account) names included. They are not automatically removed if an account is ended.

As I read this post, I think I know the overall tone of Goldelk's message is this...
Can't make 100% of people happy 100% of the time....so do what you can, and HTC is doing just that.
Personally, I am OK with the big MA split. It's added some things that wern't possible in the old MA setup. EX: I love the Hurri 2C, but hated fighting LA's in them. EAW I don't worry about LA's. I think my biggest beef /w the split is the division of community. However, that is all IMHO, and continue to adapt to any changes HTC makes.


to the Aces High Community, may we wether the storm and continue to have fun in a game that is IMHO one of the greatest games designed

Top dollar is right, and so is Blauk. If an account is created for every screen name( example: I was first Frode22, then when I let that account lapse, I started a new one, Frode21, then closed it, became FrodeII, got tired of people calling me FrodeLL, then became FrodeMk3) Then alot of people are being counted 2,3,4,or more times. So, it's really hard to tell how many active paying accounts there really are.

True for total squad numbers, but when it comes to monthly rankings only the ones that have flown enough THAT MONTH to get ranked (ie no longer "Rank =0") will be counted. From an arena population standpoint, a player is a player is a player -- so 2 weekers who never join show up, and long time vets who keep active accounts but dont fly will NOT show up.

So it seems to me that the rank measure is a pretty fair one for players active that month. Wouldnt try to make financial calculations, but since some were claiming that changes had decreased the player base, the rank data should track pretty well.

I think the 2-weekers also show in the rank lists when they fly, bu tnot in the next month anymore if they quit. But then there are already new 2-weekers in that month's rank. How many... dunno.

I hope HTC will be smarter than you in judging why and how some players left. What a post

Actually Sim all the vets that didn't get ranked are still paying.

So anyone who ends the tour with a 0 ranking is getting missed by your calculations.

Partly depends on what your looking for, active pilots or Active Accounts.

Either way its a much bigger number than most realize.

I didnt quit... I broke my right wrist and cant fly .  I am going crazy.  

I cant hold a joystick and hit the buttons.  This sucks.  

Might have to what Stang does when he is on his laptop and just catch rides with people.
