It looks like the WB players are gone

There seem to be very few WB players left in AH.  Most of the posts appear to be from Air Warrior players.  

So what happened to WB players?

Oh, but I beg to differ :)

Brought my whole squad of 20+ here from WB...and just this week picked up 3 more old friends from other WB squads.

My group has been together since 97-98 in WB 2.7...with some of us having flown in WB even earlier but in other groups.

I wish I posted a lot more in the AH forums, like I did in WB. I was very active in the community there, made movies and other stuff, was a trainer & CM for a short while....but to be honest now that Im here I prefer to spend all my time actually FLYING! :D

Heck, a WB player just join the Might WidowMakers today.  Several WM's are former WB players.

Recently dumped my WB account, may reopen an S3 only account, if that's possible, in the fall.

Not hard to find a fight or a mission, even as a Knight, in the LW arenas here but I'll will miss the S3 style setup and the effort that goes into the once a week 3 hour one life event. Salvan can relate.
Some of the biggest issues the S3 had were Ien related IMO. I think that the event has outgrown the rate / lack of development.
A lot of work has gone into really great historical terrains but FM and DM short falls as well as a poor AI routine (ground) have dampened my interest in WB.

I like being able to grab a Spit and pick a fight and know there will be a lot of action no matter the time or day of the week it is in AH.

Flew WB for years on and off under different names.  Also flew its WWI incarnation Dawn of Aces for a while.

Most of the GMB's are all from WB's, and the Barbary Corsairs are coming back up to speed in AH as well.  

Don't be fooled - I think many of us had the same problem I had - getting something close to your WB's callsign didn't work, and we came on under different names.
