That issue hangs on my wall.

Funny story about that cover. When I was creating CK I was working for a different company in my other life as an EE, and creating CK at night. Was in the break room when I heard 2 guys talking about this game CK in the magazine.  Was fun walking over to them and asking them if they would like to see it at my desk.

     I really don't mind the relative difficulty in finding AH.  At least then you have an outside chance
of finding someone who really enjoys the subject matter rather than the latest gamer fad.

I dont know about 10K, but I can get one

if we get 10k more people that means I'll have about 20 more people to fly in the AVA with. :D

I came across AH looking for an MMORPG to play. It was on a free trials list.

I thought ti was gonna be absolute toejame cause the download was tiny and I'd never heard of it.

Chances are article editor hasn't heard of AH more than anything..

it would be nice if there'd been full arenas 24/7.. and not drop down to 70ish during off hours.. i mean that's quite miniscule for a game of this scale.

i get the whole "family team" development toejam and such... but it sort of makes loyal players suffer...

the slow patches and updates.. the stagnation.. now ww1 splitting the workload more..

..reasons I quit this game. it got boring, and i got tired of paying for something that hardly moved. I remember how damn long i  was waiting for the new terrain, in the end i quit before it even came out.

I stumbled upon AH when I was reading some article in simHQ.com. It was not even about AH, but used screen shots from the game and mentioned the name in the caption. I went looking for it and could never enjoy another game again. Damit, there always have to be some smartass that makes everyone else look bad.

More to the point: I never met another person who knew what AH was before I mentioned it to him. Never.

Not sure Phatzo, it could well have been Fighter Ace as it happens, but not 100% sure.


He may turn up here, which will be nice - how often do you get to kill your brother in law?
