Please try to stay on subject Bongaroo.  Not sure what relevance your comment has to this thread Sir.

Everything to do with it piggy.

As often as I get to play I'll never burn out.

Plus, it's more than a game to me. It's a simulation and I treat it as such.

Some think I take it too seriously but I think it makes me a better player.

Instead of the endless, mindless furball type play, I prefer the more "real life" mission style of play. As long as the mission gets accomplished with minimum loss it's a win in my book and it gives me the warm fuzzies.

Been here 3+ years in one form or another.  This game is the bomb.  It does not get old to me as I keep getting better (slowly).  As I progress I learn new ways of approaching the tactics and strategies.  In this way it is always new.  It makes me appreciate many of the veterans immensely! 

As much as I appreciate the masters I have no respect for the score manipulators.  Z-E-R-O.  I think they are are losers.  Heck, their $18/month.  They need to know only newbies think they can fly.  Everyone else knows better and how to detect them. 

My biggest preference in change is to see HiTech add more planes sooner rather than later. 

Rock on,

I just can't get enough of dogfighting.

I am planning to stay till i get rank #1 in something.  Even if it takes me 40 years.

[Morpheus]

10 years here.  And gameplay is much worse than it used to be.  It's the people I've known over that span plus the rare good fight that keeps me here.

aayup. What he said. I been around about that long too.

You do not count - you get paid to stay

[MORAY37]

Hanging on by my fingernails.  Gameplay due to player base has sucked wind as of late. When you get picked, in the DA, you know there's a problem. The Aces pretty much are the only reason I stay. guys.



12-13 years now, since AW days.  JB's
