I feel strongly that I can not get the entertainment that I get as a WW2 AC buff playing Aces High anywhere in the world little own for 42$ canadian.
Frusration can be high too, but entertainment is increadable.

Hans - do you also pay $1/hour to stay on-line? We do... That's on top of ISP cost...

There're  a few ISPs offering US-type connect (no phone charges) but the connect quality is crap.

Let's face it, $30 bones a month keeps the riff-raff out.

Rip,
Not true, just look at those  JG2 guys, they are a menace to the skies.  Who let them in anyway?

The only thing I'd like to see is an option for an hourly (GASP!!!!) rate.  Vacation time coming and letting an account sit idle for a week or two really jacks up the average $ per hour.

I think $30 is very reasonable for the enjoyment you get out of AH every month. I don't have a problem with HTC making a tidy profit from us, as long as they continue to provide top-notch customer support.

I can't afford to pay $60,000 for a Mercedes. Do you think it would help if I sent them an email asking them to lower the price to $20,000 so I can afford it? Probably not. So, I have to be happy with my Saturn.  

I'm truly sorry for everyone out there who can't afford the price of admission. But if you really think hard, there has to be a way to come up with an extra $30/month. Maybe a second(or third) part-time job?

As Funked said, you get what you pay for. If you can't afford the price tag, then there are other lower-priced options out there for you.

Yes. Exaclty what banana said.

 Sorry. I for one DO NOT want the teaming unwashed mouthed masses flooding the arenas at $10/mo. AW and FA are the poster children for the ills that come with that kind of rediculous rate plan.

Fortunately,  I can afford this.  Easily I might add.  Since Im in the lower part of the middle class mass I suspect most people can afford $29 a month for something as fun and enjoyable as online simming.

Well - it's not cheap and sometimes $/hour creep higher that $2/hour of WB. But I get nothing out of WB any more. It's stale and hasn't changed for months. Errr.. Since HT et all left, actually, there were no good changes there IMHO.

AH is not perfect but you can see changes coming up so fast I wonder when these guys sleep . And it's getting better all the time .
