bustr at the moment I'm more interested in convincing you to make your posts concise and to the point than in the merits of the Dr1.

the real mystery is what does HTC think or plan to do about the ww1 arena. here is some possibilities...

1. It's a dead arena we will not waste resorces on it.

2. We don't like Fester because he is a loudmouth know it all and everything he says is like nails on a chalk board to us. We would rather imerse him in burning oil than give him the satisfaction of knowing what we are going to do with the ww1 arena.

3. Waffle built the ww1 planes one weekend when he broke free of the chains keeping him at his desk and he refuses to make anymore until he gets more comfortable chains.

4. We have plans for developing the ww1 arena and are waiting to see if it can draw a steady crowd in its current state before commiting more resources to it.

5. Two weeks.

 :huh

the general view of the players is the arena was a proof of concept that has been abandoned when it wasn't able to attract a steady 24/7 crowd.

If you haven't noticed the MA barely maintains a 24/7 crowd these days. Your lucky to see 1 or 2 small bars of activity over entire map during off peak hours.

Been enough resources and time wasted on WW1 theatre as it is. Rather see the AH1 planeset completed to AH2 (only been 9 years) and a drop in price to $9.95 as $15 is just too expensive for a online game these days especially one with such dated graphics. At $9.95 might attract new players or those that can look past the visuals and who knows that might get some numbers into WW1 as well.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Because the localized furball is growing smaller and smaller in favor of larger missions/horde's to capture bases, you know the only goal in aces high which is win the war and avoid all combat.

Fester,

You are like a Windows Super User in the case of AH being Windows as an alagoric compliment. Hitech should name something after you for all of the selfless effort you have invested in Aces High like those airfeilds in Air Warrior.

With that being said. It comes down to getting an answer from Hitech to what his intentions for the future of the arena is. Other wise your expression of being insulted verifies the arena has not changed. And the eskimos aint buying snowballs today even from the master of selling snow to snowmen.

I would too, but the problem likely is that enough people would not pay the $20 to where HTC may end up with nearly the same revenue, but 25% less players.

The only answer I can think of then is for HITech to encourage players to volunteer to pay more in return for some trivial benefit.   However, that might increase suspicion that the higher paying players are given an advantage.

I want more from HTC too, given how much of my free time I spend here, but don't know how to convince HiTech to do that, yet. :headscratch:

 :O

 :old: Place ads on 200 every 30 seconds as "Tweets" and allow players to pay $5/mnth for permasquelch.


 :frown: nvm... :bolt:

 Well I don't care a hoot about the WWI arena. To me the planes all fly about the same and the DR.I is way to fast but I didn't like Rise of flight any better and their planes do have speed and clime differences that count in a fight. I am happy some of you enjoy WWI but I still would rather the time and effort be spent on the MA. As for the monthly fee I think $14.95 is a bargain where else you going to have this much fun without leaving your house? If the fees went up some I would still pay it within reason and I am surprised they stayed $14.95 as long as they have while everything else around us go up in cost.
