MA numbers late night
« on: August 31, 2017, 03:42:35 AM »
How are numbers in the MA now during late nights - about 2100 - 2300 hrs HST?  Or Axis vs Allies arena? (used to be Combat Theater?) Contemplating returning to AH after 11 years away, but I know those hours were really off-peak before.

Numbers have picked up somewhat since AH went live on steam last week. At this very moment, 49 players in the Melee Arena.
Axis vs Allies is always empty at this time, though.

mauser, I came back after about 3 years.  Help the noobs out if you can.  15.00 bucks is nothing considering that price hasen't change in years.  BISH. :airplane:

It's healthy enough to find good action.  I notice a substantial rise in numbers.  Lots of new faces along with some vets returning.

my observations so far number wise. the day before we went to steam our max ranks wouldn't go over 1200. yesterday however I saw ranks go up to 2200. I think only a few of the new players seem to stick with us. but so far numbers are up and it feels good that the bish don't outnumber the rooks and knits so badly anymore (especially at European times).

I am very interested in how many new players will actually sub.

I will see your * and # then raise you ^%^

Numbers are going up. Lots of new call-signs. Some are really good their first day in AH.

The numbers would go up a lot if all the guys who are wringing their hands about the numbers being too low for them to start playing again would just start playing again.

I would be happy to have them, but you would not be able to perceive the difference in arena numbers if they all came back.

Depends who, depends how.  20 guys who are active, fly planes, on the other team, and playing when I am would greatly improve my game experience.

20 guys doing the above on a Saturday afternoon would pretty much triple the amount of red planes in the air.

10 guys coming back flying together would make a noticeable impact even.

Could be and I hope so.  Also got to factor in this isn't the only flight sim in existence.  Just because they're new here doesn't mean they are going to be complete fodder.  A new name that knows what he's doing might still be new to AH.  That's why I think it's a bad idea to immediately jump on the "Whose shade are you?" bandwagon with new guys.

I know when I came over from WBs I had to relearn a lot of details, but what ACM I had at the time for the most part worked.
