$15 a month is a major bargain.. Consider this - most games that are pay to play, have a "buy" system in which you can buy things to improve your game at a cost. Early World of Warcraft was great, there was no "buy" system, you just bought gold. Later on you could buy characters and not even have to level them.
Aces High reminds me of a Japanese sushi bar I loved, one of their biggest problems is they never charged enough and closed down- there food was so good I would pay double for it, however they ran themselves into the ground being cheap.

Even if Aces high was $20 or $25 Its still cheap considering the hours of play/spent in game vs other games on the market.

the funny part is they don't know what they are missing doing achievements especially the hard ones the way they were intended to be done.
Very much this.  It isn't an achievement if you cheated to get it.  The only person you are really cheating is yourself.

I wouldn't pay that much, I only play a few hours a month. I keep paying even when I play very little because it is a good deal. Have been a constant subscriber for coming up to ten years this autumn because the price is reasonable. If they doubled the price I doubt they would bring in exactly double the money because a lot of folks would be forced to cancel subs during quiet months.

I am not.  An achievement is only worth doing if you do it fairly.  If you just cheat, well, who are you impressing with the bits of data that show you have it?

I haven't looked, but I rarely flew if 1 sortie in the previous 9 months, I still paid my account - I didn't want to lose my perks as I felt I was going to eventually come back, but I think I just recently canceled all together only to in fact fly again.

There is something missing, I dunno but I just dont feel the same coming back as I normally do, I'm usually eager to get flying and in the training arena helping - but I think I'm just going to probably end up flying a few times and giving up for good.

Try something new? Have you done the whole dueing things yet? Or maybe the smart flying MA survival thing? Or if you have done that a lot then the crzy low alt MA suicide furball thing? Any part of the game you have not got into yet?

I've done everything a few times around, the achievements are silly as I've completed if not everyone of them a few times - even the impossible ones (before the system came out) so it gives me no interest in attempting to do them again when I can count on my fingers how many times I've done each one.

And if you don't cheat who are you impressing with the bits of data? Is it worth it to be that emotionally invested in a video game? All video games are just variations of space invaders and pac man.

Wow.  Thats almost as bad as folks using the rearm pad to pad their scores.  Which a GAZILLION peep do!

You have to make this game your own I think because there are so many ways to exploit scores.  Score   is   meaningless.

I up. I fly to a base and shoot down red things.  Hopefully return in one piece.  Hopefully return!  I could not tell you my score...ever.  I do look at some "stats".  I know how many times I shoot at the moon and do crazy things that skew numbers.  AFK kills me half the time.  If I get more kills than deaths good enough.  Having a B-L-A-S-T doing it.  Great to have an opportunity to fly such well modeled planes.  What do I know.
