WWI...

[Stang]

Really is sweet. Wish more would fly there... I can see why the mouse wielders avoid it though, you have to be able to fight and having pedals or a twisty stick is a must in those birds.

Exact reason why i dont fly in there.

The planes bounce around alot and they just dont respond well to mouse flyers.

I wish HTC would invest more resources in it.  I always enjoyed WW1 era, just not enough going on in there to pull me in consistently.

I loved WWI arena. The fights (while smaller) are actually better than the massive hordes of the MA.  Fights are cleaner, less picking, and you ALWAYS get a salute after a good fight.

Yeah there aren't any bombers...

I would wish for that too, but I'm afraid that at this point it wouldn't change the numbers enough to justify the effort.

I submitted a terrain for WW1 way back in March, complete with towns, trenches, no man's land, etc.  I was thinking a new terrain would bring some numbers in.  Sadly, it's never been put into play.

If a dedicated core group of WW1 enthusiasts scheduled some events, they might be able to draw some folks into it.  Problem is, nobody goes into the WW1 arena because nobody is in the WW1 arena because nobody goes into the WW1 arena.

Get 20 guys to schedule WW1 events and then publicize it, you might start seeing some folks there.

If that alone was the reason, we would still have a lot of players in WW1, because once we had tremendous numbers there. The numbers did not fall because nobody was there in the first place. But of course I agree in as so much as once a certain threshold is crossed, the "nobody goes there because nobody is there" adds up significantly to the problem.
And we do have a core group of enthusiasts, and they actually did schedule some fights and events, with some good turnout if my crappy memory and my stats don't fail totally. But similar to the AvA, any such effect is only lasting for a short time. A few players more will show up, have some fun, but then again they get drawn back into the LW for the very same reasons as before.

Yes I had been and still am looking forward to that....hopefully

Thats true I have noticed numbers snowball, if I see 8 or more it will make me jump in there. With the FM on the DR1 corrected it really is quite a fun arena to mix it up in.

I remember also in H2H waiting for 20 minutes or so to get into the same arena other arenas had maybe 4 5 people in them but the one with the most 8/8 must be were the most fun is

That should read "And we did have a core group of enthusiasts", I think you'll find them flying in Rise of Flight these days.
