They seem fine with it. It was their behavior/decision.

The Great Purge Wars, I remember them well. Forum was far more interesting back then. Fortunately, we have the 3 word story game to entertain us

I kept my subscription for years, even though I seldom flew.

After a conflict with a very small group (several yrs ago) of individuals on the CM team left a bad taste in my mouth, I started creating terrains and write-ups as an AvA staffer.
It's still a great game, but by the time the graphics update was announced, I'd lost interest and moved on to other endeavors.

It's curiosity and old friends that keep me coming back to check the boards.

Unfortunately I fear the lack of posts in response to HT's picture of the new lighting is a tell tale sign of where things stand... I can only hope the new update kicks ass, they do a great job promoting it and the ranks swell once again.

Had not realized you had left compleatly. My schedule does not coincide with special events well these days. Remember you as a fixture and educator. Wish things were different for both of us.

Fun in MA died for some of us furballers with the 12 hour switch rule. Turned furballers into guns for hire for 12 hrs.

As much as I dislike the 12h rule... to be fair, we had the 12h rule for many years and AH was growing a lot... and there was furballin a lot...

Just got back into the game after a year away....I usually re-join in the winter, play a few weeks and then get busy with my other projects.

One thing that struck me this time around was the player count.  On a the past couple nights, not nearly the huge numbers I recall seeing in the past.  Are we all so old we recall having to pick between two late war arenas?   :)

Where is everyone?  Where's all those players? 

The game seems to be the same, improving to match the improved graphics available....

I'm curious what people think  :cool:

Watch how many players return after "The Big Update".  There will be many...

Can't tell you how many I see beating the dead horse on the 12 hour rule who currently have the ability to change twice in one calendar day and refuse to. :devil

True, but as the player numbers drop it would help if the 12 hour rule was relaxed a bit to compensate. It certainly would help retain a few more people.

Well seeing as rarely get to play a 12 hour stretch it doesn't work out so well now does it? So at best you can switch once a day. With the numbers as they are and how the fights can dry up along a whole front in nothing flat it doesn't leave you a lot of options.

So people log off.... and the numbers look worst.... and new players look in and say "where is everyone?" and they leave too.

Coogan

But even if so, will they stay? I doubt longtime players that finally quit AH for good will be returning just for any kind of better graphics. I can't recall any "the graphics suck so much now, I'm leaving" posts ;)

Yes, I'm very sceptical about all that stuff, but I also want to be very much wrong with that scepticism...  :old:
