And Leviathn if you wouldn't mind could you please tell me why you stopped playing this game? What process lead you quit something you clearly at some stage very much enjoyed?

I suppose I could, and it's really not very exciting, but I'm unsure how that's relevant to this discussion.

If its as boring as I simply got bored with it, then yeah I'd like to hear it. Its relevent because I am bored flying around looking for fights, I found them by switching sides, something I can no longer do frequently. I want to keep on playing Aces High I still find the fights exciting, when I can find them.

Perhaps you could just ask HiTech himself the rationale for the change in a private message.  Somebody in this thread did, and it wasn't you.

I don't want to get to far into content of PMs but yes I have communicated with him on this at the time it happened, last July I think.

I have three kids.  My youngest was born in 2007, shortly after I became gainfully employed full-time.  Ace High is the kind of game that, for me, required a big time commitment in order to play at the level I enjoyed.  We're talking going to bed at 3am every night kind of stuff after just "one more sortie."  Three kids and a full time job means something had to give, so AH gave.  That and the fact that after 10+ years of first AW and AH, this kind of game had essentially run its course for me.

A good example of the 12 hour limit hurting play, I was flying with a squadie and a couple of friends as Rook. Another friend logged on and was a knight, as is the rest of his squad. He only had time for a few flights. As there weren't any of his squad on at the time he "could" have switched to fly with us, as we could he switched to fly with him. The problem is later that night we all were looking forward to flying with squadmates. With the 12 hour rule none of us could switch. It's a rotten decision you have to make due to the rule.

I think if the rule was set to 3 hours it wouldn't make those decisions that hard any more, nor would the people switching add to "wild fluctuations" in the population per side.
