I'd been playing WW2 air combat sims since I worked for Kesmai in the mid-1990s (around 1996, during the AW for Windows era on AOL/CompuServe). I stopped playing regularly maybe 3-4 years ago, and at that point I'd put in a good dozen years or so.
After awhile you just kind of get tired of doing the same thing over and over and over again. That's not a bash against Aces High in any way - more like a compliment when you consider that a game like WoW, for all of its bells and whistles, couldn't keep my interest for 1/3rd the time that AW/AH did.
I post here because Aces High is home to countless friends I've made over the years. I enjoy this community and the folks in it, and I love the game even if I don't really have the drive to play it these days. Could that change? Sure, but I don't envision it in the foreseeable future.
