More European members
« on: August 06, 2009, 12:47:00 AM »
I believe that Aces high should make a more active effort to encourage more European members. I have noticed that those pilots from the old world are a good influence to the new world colonials. 

What do you think? :x

You will have to drag them kicking and screaming from their archaic combat flight sims that they are currently playing.

there are a surprising amount of euros that play the game zack.  I've done my best to get most of the brits in the same squad but people aren't always that forthcoming and who am I to tell them otherwise.  

TBH I enjoy the game much more in our time zone as it isn't as full on and crowded.  Less ganging, hording and watermelon talking.  Not to say it doesn't still happen but throw in another 500 Americans and all they want to do is kill, get drunk and blow up everything they see.   :lol.

would be interesting to see the figures of how many subscribers are non US.  I'd guess at 20%.

I have viewed some photos from a Eurocon (2007 I think it was) talk about getting drunk and blowing stuff up. FPO recipes will have to be passed to different countries.

AH isn't very user-friendly if you don't speak English.  A game that wants to market itself to an international audience will often have a bunch of different flags that you can click at the top of its webpage for your native language, e.g. German, French, Spanish, etc.  Despite what many of us Americans are led to believe, there are plenty of Europeans that do not speak English, usually because English language TV shows are dubbed in their country.  We've seen how hard a time many people have with AH, even when they read the instructions; now make it in a foreign language and see how well they do. :P

That would make for a more interesting Channel 200.  We have an italian squaddie who still thinks Italy won WWII!   :rofl
