Just some advice for HTC

I've noticed that the first tab you see when joining online is the Free tab, which is usually empty.

I think it might be a good idea to have the Tab that the Melee Arena sits in be the first one for several reasons:

1. New players to Aces High who haven't played yet might not notice the tabs up top and think the entire game is dead, so why buy it?

2. New players who first notice an arena with over 150 pilots might stick around and subscribe faster!

3. It is easier for most of the community to have the Main Arena as the first one to click without tabbing every time

  The first tab is for the arenas that are free.  It makes the free arenas easier to find.

Someone had a great idea to put them all on one page and color code them.

[JimmyC]

could have main arena first with a free tab second, so they see numbers first and drool a little.

yep I posted something like that as well and what you are referring to looked great aswell.

while we are at it why don't we place a roster tap next to it?

That is what I was getting at.

Some knuckleheads who don't have the time and don't know the format, on the fence, 50/50 interested will see 0 players and quit immediately

I go back and forth in my thinking which should be first.

When I first start up a new game that I've never played before, I look at all the options on the opening screen to see what's available. If I was new to this game, I'd do the same. It's not difficult. Why would you want to show a new player somewhere that they can't get to without paying first? I think that would be more of a turnoff. Don't be so selfish by wanting one less mouse click to play the game.

Don't new players get 2 weeks in the MA for free?

you could also list them all on the same tab and prepend "FREE -"
in front of some of them or/and color code them.

The free arena will be fun for awhile for them... then they will wonder.. whats in that arena with 350 folks in it.

(Hopefully more soon)

The free arena will be fun for awhile for them... then they will wonder.. whats in those other 3 arenas with 1000 folks in each of them.

(Hopefully more soon)

3000 is a pretty far reach..  i hope steam works well.

Please apply the KISS idea to the arena list at login.  Dangle that big chaotic MA in their face every time they log in, along with the free arenas for guys on the fence.

Or somehow make those tabs up top pop out a little more.

ive seen some people post that 350 or even 1000 were in other arenas....????  when was the last time the main arena had 350 on at the same time?....like 20012?.....heck numbers are declining everywhere...just ask the greatest records keeper of the game ..lusche.  even fso gets LESS than 200 players on a regular basis.   dissapointing.
