EW/MW could be made into one
« Reply #15 on: January 17, 2008, 02:36:38 AM »
Am I missing something here or are people actually starting to fly in there in any numbers? Everytime I check the Early and Midwar arenas there's anywhere from 2-20 pilots in total.

Regards, Odd

The EW arena I always thought of as the WWI arena from AW. all that turning and burning !!

MW has a good set that does both TnB, but also has good angles and zoom fighting. Plane match up are close.

It's nice to get into fights with out having some dweeb come screaming in for a cheap cherry pick and then extend for a sector or two.

About the only you can gain by changing them is to piss of a bunch of players who are happy playing there.


A bunch? :rofl  You have got to be kidding me.  Try handful.  I say leave them as is, but let's not make them sound more populated than they really are.

I log into MW almost every night US Prime time and there is consistently, on average, 40+ players in there.

The fights and confrontations that those types of numbers produce are a lot of fun.

With all due respect Slapshot, I was not pounding the numbers that turn out in EW/MW.  I am just saying that with 4,000-5,000 registered pilots in AH, 40-50 really is not a bunch of people to piss off.  My thinking is that if these arenas do not generate more interest, how long will Hitech consider them a viable business venture?  My want is to make sure that there is still room somewhere in AH's servers for something other than the top 10 uber planeset that we all use in the LW arenas.  The AVA is a good example.   Due to it's recent changes, there is renewed interest in the older plane/vehicle sets.
