Bring Back Free 8 Player
« on: January 03, 2010, 01:41:08 PM »
I haven't played aces high in years but when i played , i played the free 8 player. when i played the free trial i didn't like the main rooms because the number of people. the 8 player was the best part of the game to me because of the custom maps and such. i don't know why they ever got rid of 8 player but i wish it was back.

Won't happen, Player configured small  arena's may happen at  some point in the  fairly near future.

But, you will have  to be a subscribed user to use them.
They will go through HTC's password server and be hosted by HTC so they can keep them from being used for testing hacks, cracks, cheats, etc.

I would like to see this feature brought back so I can teach
my son the game a bit before getting him an account. For
now I'm busy building a p38 cockpit for him.

Perhaps folks who in the past have been long-term subscribers (a year?) and have kept their noses clean could play but not host?

Just a thought...

But ya can duel each other for 15 dollars a month each online. . . .

Hitech's gotta eat and there are bills to pay - ya know.

On the other hand, if I can stay and eat at your place for the next year or so - I'll pay the 30 bucks a month for y'all to play for 'free'. . . .

He's nine, I'll be getting his account set up as soon as he
picks a name and we finish his 38. His 38 is harder to build than
my generic pit. Looking at maybe another month and his trackir
and sticks should be here by then.

Ghosth how is the river doing this year so far?

Wet fall James, river went into freeze high, fair amount of snow already. Going to depend on how much more we get.

Anyway, when you get that cockpit finished give me a yell. We'll work out a time to get together and get him started.
