Non paying customers should have to fly with me and listen if they do not start paying within 2 months. :D

Let low performance rides be free for anyone in Melee. Hurri I, Spit I, and He-111.

They'll get addicted quickly and upgrade to the full version.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with you but this may actually be a good idea. Maybe throw in a spit 5 once they get some perks? 109F?

id like to see perk planes limited.  A noob in a hurri one is not going to be happy getting beat down by a U-4.  And the sad fact is he will be reaching for a unattainable goal.  Having a vet with that kind of advantage is brutal.  Also, the end goal is not to gain planes but to join the war.

This is a good idea. Something to consider. This allows people to keep getting a taste of the game until they feel confident enough that their ride limitations are capping their capabilities.

My opinion would be that you get the standard 2 week free trial, all planes.  No imits.  Then, perhaps you offer up those EW birds only for some version of free play?  I dunno.  just throwing in my loose change.

EW always free, 2 week free trial gets full access.  Just an idea.  personally, i like the free arena idea.


p.s.  re open free trial to everyone again.

I like this idea, I would jump in a populated early war. Also giving all the people who already used a free trial another go wouldn't be a bad thing. Since it is a new game.

Match play looks very suspiciously like a prelude to a mobile version of AH.

Personally I like the idea very much.

I think it is pretty cool there is now somewhere I can easily find an aerial fight and I don't have to worry about listening to Whiskey and Ice Road Truckers on range, bandits running to the Ack , retreating to man the field guns, flying 2 grids to circle high above a field hoping for an upper, and other boredom inducing behavior.

Boredom is the long term enemy of AH.

Match play may draw those interested in an aerial fight out of the Melee.

I hope it is tweaked in order to allow a little more structure in the matchups, especially 4 v 4 or greater.

must say I've seen alot of no star new names on the roster recently.   Hopefully sign of an increase (if they stay)

....and before you know it the majority of players are in the free arena. HTC would be losing more subscribers, certainly not a fix that would help the game in the long run.

I don't see the custom/free arenas helping in the long run either. When we had the H2H arenas those players were their own "group". Even after they closed those arenas only a very small percentage of those players moved into the Mains. Of those who stayed, most went into the DA to make that home.

No I think a way to bring more players into the Main arena is whats needed.

I don't think so, Tim.
