n00bs i/b Main Arenas

I was watching "Dogfights" on the History Channel before I left for work today and saw the Aces High commercials twice! Look for an influx of "numbers guys" in your gunsights soon!!

BTW the graphics on the spot looked almost as good as the graphics on the show! Nice job on the spot Hitech! :salute

The commercials are on pretty consistently now. I usually see them 5-6 times a week if I watch the Military channel.

That's where I discovered AHII a couple of months ago.  But I spent about a month offline getting used to it, reading the forums and all the doco/write-ups I could find.  I've been online for a few weeks now and started paying at the beginning of April.

I can't wait for the noobs to jump in...I could use some easy kills, as I still pretty much suck.  :lol

What is the deal with the new guys not having enough imagination to come up with a decent handle anyway? :huh One of my squadies when he first started was a numbers guy, but after 2 days of flying he found the perfect handle. We now call him Auger. :rofl

It amazes me as well that you can't get a handle other than numbers...

If I recall it right, when you sign up you are asked for a handle using alphanumeric characters.
Many folks think that's just numbers ;)

When did the first commercials air for Aces High?? I remember seeing back in the days maybe mid-late 90's and wanting to play but never had a pc that would be worth playing on.

As for the handle, i spent 10 minutes trying every name i could think of but they were all taken. I ended up with Tex01 and really didn't and don't like it, it just worked.

I still am confused with the Numbers dudes. My first ID was BuddyR, then my second 1 was Plus44. And now it's 1pLUs44.

I atleast added letters to my numbers.  :aok

I wondered why Lazer suddenly went from #1 to #11 in fighter rank. I looked at the scores and found:



Looks like a big rush of new players  :D

yes....for those of you that are good, they'll make good targets.........but don't forget too........when they're asking questions, try to offer them help, besides the "ALT-F4" thing, or telling them to go to the training arena. they'll make better teammates, and better fights if they're enemys. there's a lot in the MA's i see just elling at noobs......we all were once
