WW1 Should be Free

[pervert]

Like the title says WW1 should be free, HTC has nothing to lose and everthing to gain, it will add numbers to the arena and potentially add subscribers.

Its already allocated to the WW1 arena it will be there regardless, this way it will be there with some people actually in it.

+1 i love flying in the WW1 arena. just wish that there was more people in it.

Sounds smart.

It'd give me an excuse to fly wwi more often...

I thought this was silly at first, my problem is that it would give a false representation to the game as a whole.

But now that I'm thinking about it, it doesnt sound like a bad idea

[kvuo75]

if there were more than 1 other person in there at a time.. i might drop in more often.

this.

I've been in there a few times. its really fun but upping and flying around all day waiting for someone else to join is a PITA

Thats what I'm sayin' !

It makes some sense.

Gets people flying and then perhaps after a while they get curious about the rest of the game and decide to subscribe.

Last time I checked, they didn't charge me to play there.

Clever idea. Hopefully there would be more subscribers willing to help the new guys then too. Can't think of a better place for that. +1

How about ... limiting FREE play to JUST ONE AIRCRAFT TYPE (DR 1) and dumping some AH advertising on the freebies when they log in ... a short film of action in the MA ... and a special offer of some sort.

There would probably be plenty of interest by PAYING members in helping noobs with alternative landings instruction ...

Well, a two week trial may not be enough to get a casual new player relatively proficient and hooked on the game.

Use an already existing, little used resource so that they can spend more time learning how to fly, basic maneuvers, gunnery.

Gets them on the log in page frequently, where they can see and get curious about all the other action, throw in some advertising in the arena, and once they have had some fun with the basic biplanes, they may decide to step it up and subscribe for some WW2 action.

Sounds like it could be relatively cheap and cost effective.
