More AirWarriors on the way!
« on: October 24, 2001, 03:56:00 AM »
The last nail has been driven into the coffin and the pink slips have been distrubited.

It's a sad day, especialy for the people who have tried to keep the ship afloat.

On the bright side, if there is one when people loose their source of income, is that AH is going to benifit with added subscribers, but more importantly, the talent that will come with them.

I smell some kickass scenarios in the not too distant future!  :D

Yeah, this was certainly a black day for Air Warrior.... and the EA.com site has been down all morning, apparently since midnight last night when everyone was disconnected.  Looks like we won't even get a chance for a final flyby....   :(

I have not been following the continuing saga of Airwarrior all that close since I left back in June of 2000.  What happened now?

Indeed Lars and Helen.  The AW web-site may be toast.  The EA support page does not make references to AW anymore.  Oh well.  Welcome all AWers to Aces High.  Pyro and Company are doing a great job.

Did they close their doors?

I'm guessing this might have something to do with it:

The writing was on the wall a long time ago but many held out hop regardless..  

 I feel real sorry for Steve 'Mage' Lackey. No matter what some people think of him I always thought he was a great guy, a real friend and he honeslty gave his heart and soul to improving AW for all the players there. <S> Steve. I wish you well.

 Sincerely,  Ken 'Westy'

The Nightmares came from AW.  Now I wasn't one of the ones from there.  I was recruited once I was here.  But I know our the Nightmares at the AW side of the house must be crushed.  I know if AH ever shut down I think I would literally cry.  I've made lots of friends in here and couldn't bare having to go to a new game and learn all over again.

So guys if or when this does happen let's give the AW guys a warm AH welcome.  

How is it a fact that AW is shutting down or is it a rumor?  From what I read so far it's just a rumor.

<Door creaks open> cough <Takes a peep in> <scans the room> <Sees Flos sitting in the corner with 1ijac passing peeled grapes>

Animal spouts off, - death to those who killed the king, off with their heads.

Where is the closest hangar of P-51s?

YA, ya I know,....we tried and tried to resuscitate the king, we beat on it's chest, we gave it a bath, we preyed for mercy, we beat on our own chest, we cursed the CODs that let it be. We believed their words to commit to breath life back into the king. Yet they could not see the forest for the trees were in the way.

The ignorance at EA.com is comparable to the NY Towers, you just can't believe the stupidity, but it's real.

<Pulls out old sack, pushes clothes into it and slings it over his shoulder> <Runs out to the P-51 hangar and sticks a knife in all the wheels on all the planes and runs to his jeep>

Bu-bye lard ass!! <Hits the accelerator drives through the front gate, and shoots the guard in the forehead>

I need to know the following things..
Where is the frig?
Where is the P-51 or A8 hangar?
And whos sheep do I steal first?

This is sad to see. AW on Genie was my first taste of online gaming in 93. I was a dedicated AW nut until my squad moved to Confirmed Kill or whatever it was called.

Later I found AH and my beloved AW squad the 13thTAS was here too!

Even though I haven't played AW for over a couple years it was a noble and fun beginning.

<S> to the concept and Taps for an old friend.
