what about us?

Never mind.  Merry Christmas Aces  

P.S. Maybe encouraging Nef that the free software will probably always be part of the marketing scheme and hoping that he can afford to join you soon would be a better "recruiting technique," eh?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Well Nef i think Merry Christmas would have been sufficient without the expletive.
If you can afford to pay to play in the MA in the future i sure hope you leave the offensive language behind, come to think of it please keep it away from this BBS as well.
I am sure a lot of us here are Adults although its hard to believe at times   and i can swear and curse with the best of them BUT i do it with my workmates and friends when its appropriate, not when posting in a public forum where people of all ages can and do read it.
Maybe its accepted on the other BBS you came from, but here many will find it unacceptable.

Now back to the thread of H2H play, there is nothing wrong with playing H2H its there for a good reason, I played H2H for a long time after my 2 week trial expired and finally i gave in and paid to play. This is why HTC included H2H, to hook you and turn you into a paying customer.
Enjoy your time in H2H i am sure HTC will never abandon this aspect of the game.

Ram Dude.
     The problem was not with what he was saying but the way we put it and his general attitude towards it.

We try damn hard not to use offensive or explicit language on this BBS and try as we might it slips out occasional, but to be honest it isn't called for.

Free H2H is not a god given right. It is a gift from HTC. The same company that lives on our monthly contribution from which we get the service known as the Main Arena. SO in essence it is more of a gift from us. As HTC listens to us and respects is members and players. If we all spoke out and said that we where not happy with the situation then I am sure that they would be more than happy to listen to our POV. But we don't.

Paying members don't mind people who used H2H. We don't mind people who want to take a 2 week trial. But what we do mind is people with bad attitudes that disturb the community that a lot of us have tried very hard to build and take care off.

I think this is why people where getting upset.

hmm.

I tried H2H the other day. It was actually a lot of fun. Tank battle in a specially designed map with a city to fight in.. H2H would get me to pay for the account if I didn't already.

Yes, I pay for AH. I'm an 18 year old webmaster/tech support specialist at a dot.com startup called mdStrategy. I own a Saturn, not a volvo. I don't have kids. I have a wonderful girl who seems to be more interested in WWII aviation then I am. (how is that so?)

Nef, I understand where you're coming from, but don't bash the entire community with a general assumption of who we all are.
