The one thing that Aces High needs to survive long term is people with paying accts. The more the better!

However, free 8 way H2H is great advertiseing, training, and promotion IMO.

Abuseing the free 2 week trial over & over again is one thing. Flying H2H till you can afford or feel comfortable with a paid acct is quite another.

Hang in there Nefarious.

 And one thing doesnt change. New Zealand's toejamty exchange rate. At todays prices a month subscription would cost me $72 dollars.
My tough luck I guess. I cant play anymore as my 2 weeks is up and my friends arent into flight sims for H2H play. I still drop by the site to see whats happening tho'.
That 2 weeks play I had was the most enjoyable gaming experiance I've ever had. I remember it fondly.

I don't have a problem with H2H players. They can do whatever the sponsors allow on the H2H arena. What I do object to is the "tude" displayed by nefari. H2H is not a god given right and I frankly don't care for your sign off in your messages particularly at this time of the year.

PS I NEVER had any silver spoon either, I just worked my way through life.

wake up and read the HTC home page!

"and 8 person head to head is always free"

this is the first time ive ever ran into a problem on these boards! I hate to be called a mooch for something i am allowed to do..

I really dont care what you think about my sign off message..but out of respect i will apologize for it and discontinue writing it..

but i will not tolerate being called something im not...

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!

Any questions
Oh and the F_ck Peace quote is fitting of an art student not a warrior.

Nefa,
even though, yes IMHO you are right.

But the way you've let us know wasn't, also IMHO, very nice.

Better watch your attitude young man.

regards

Maik

P.S.: This is NO Offense

H2H is free, right?...

it is

To fly H2H is allowed by HTC, right?...

It is

Nefarious is sticking to what he can afford, and not cheating, isnt he?

He is

Is that freeloading?

HELL, NO!!!!!!!!!!!.

Pappy,if you want to blame someone, blame HTC for making H2H free up to 8 people (I think it is one of the nicest things of this sim, and a very good thing, but you can have your own vision). Because HTC WANTED this to happen.

But let Nefarious in peace. I dont mind if you are Rambo, Bill Clinton, Roger Rabbit or John Lennon, I only know that you jumped on him without any reason and that an excuse for Nefarious is in order.

I don't think my first response was jumping on him, read it..its simple and if you don't fit the description don't wory about it, I do feel strongly about the fact that the paying customers are the only reason this game is available in any format and also understand the reason its in H2H but AH needs more paying customers and less bread lines.
I guess my post should have been I hope the H2H feature is the last priority on the things to do list.
And Ram don't puff up on me, my post doesn't warrant your silly antics and if you feel it does next time you see me up get on my chnl and tell me all about it.

Just re-read your initial response pappy.

1) You didn't answer his question
2) You insulted him

Not saying his response is justified, just saying you were no saint.

Next time why even bother?

I must be real bored posting here at 2am on the 25th but here it comes.

Firstly Nefs sign off signature would have immediately antagonised a lot of people, thankfully he has now realised this and stopped using it here.

Secondly H2H is not a God given right, it is an HTC (Hitechcreations) given right.
A lot of religous people again would have been offended by that remark.
And as much as we all admire HT and crew i dont really think they quite qualify for God status  

And for Nef as you asked IMHO is short for (In My Honest Opinion) your need to ask this suggests to me you may be new to Bulletin boards and the best way to post getting your message across without offending others.

FYI (For your information) after the 1.05 patch is out you will have to download and use it even if you only play H2H because if you dont you will be the only person on the planet still using 1.04  

Hey i think Santa just landed on the roof !
gonna hang my sack on the bedpost and pretend i never heard him!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL   !!!

PS it better be the Santa in a red suit not that damnable cocky (edit racially insensitive nickname) StSanta !
