People leave because they are forced to or because they want to.  There really are no other reasons.

True, oh king of oinks, very true.  Within those two reasons though, there are many, many sub folders, but yes, I agree, it comes down to  being either of those two.

People leave because after playing the same video game for some time they get bored of it and find something else to do. That's normal. You weirdos that stick around for years are the exception not the norm.

Zack,

FLOOB has been around about as long as I can remember. Guess he's a weirdo too.

Floob doesn't have to be around long for folks to figure that out!  :old:  :neener:  :D

They'll be back.  Anyone who loves the competitiveness of WW2 combat will be back.  AH is currently the only WW2 online combat with massive persistent arena, and player score rankings, very unique.  That's the key ingredients.  War Thunder is not massive persistent.  Although I do love the graphics and flight models, there is very little in competitiveness.

How do I know?  Well I've been here and gone several times since 1999.  I think my first nickname was corn, but it was several things through the several times I signed back up.  All these years later, I'm still at it.  I'll cancel in a few months, then be back in a year or two.  That's just the way it goes.

I stopped  messing with world of Planes / now called War Thunder, after Alpha testing , then closed Beta testing, and what you have posted above that is bolded and underlined.....

I guess I might should check their flight model out if they figured out how to fix the issues back then...

25+ years of online gaming and modem to modem 1 vs 1 playing before that...... we old farts finally get burnt completely out, on trying to keep up with the game one loves most, and testing any thing that might be a competitor game, to compare them, over all these years....

I have yet to find anything close to AH though, in flight model comparison, except for AW and WB, in which , the creator/owner worked for AW and created WB before creating AH.....

you could say I am a bit biased probably, heh

GameID's are cleaned every week day on deleted or inactive free time accounts accounts.

My gameID seems to have too much starch lately, where to we complain about this cleaning???
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
