it's okay, don't worry about AH, it'll be here when you get back. funny you mention the fighter thing. i flew strat for a long time, made me bored and lost interest. i admit i haven't played for seven years, maybe around 4 or so, but i can't imagine going back to the aspect of the game that bored me to death. to each his own though. curious, how to you make the leap from you and a whole bunch of the communtiy affecting gameplay in a way so that HT has to make changes, and then blame HT?
with every change there is a doomsdayer or 2, and i mean every change. fuel crisis, AH2 crisis, FM change crisis, numbers crisis, eny crisis, the list goes on and on. maybe you are just burned out. i don't see how trying to encourage a more healthy community, and creating more new accounts, and trying to make the game better is the "sake of a few extra bucks." to me the game is better, i look forward to the times that i can log on and the game is much more alive than ever:) i've met more people that i normally wouldn't, and atmosphere is generally more friendly. you can still run your missions, i've seen several, and actually participated in one for kicks. not going to try to convince you, just saying, there are other opinions of how the game has changed. lol, noob fighter pilots dream, wow.
