How are the numbers now?

[Vraciu]

I for one think Vraciu is genuine in his requests and suggestions.  Whatever, Hitech doesn't wan't to do it, his million dollar investment and virtual living room, so be it.

Thanks man.  They are genuine.   I don't have all the data, or as we pilots say, "The Big Picture."    But as we learn in CRM two heads are better than one.  If anything I write just happens to spark a good idea for Hitech or Skuzzy then I will be thrilled.

If I didn't care I wouldn't still be here.  I certainly wouldn't have given myself carpal tunnel syndrome (LITERALLY) making skins for free to help make the game better.

I'm on Hitech's side.   He sometimes thinks otherwise it seems.   No offense is intended or implied toward him or anyone else.

That million dollar investment brought me tons of fun. Times have changed. The game hasn't. Obviously the numbers declining has proved that. Letting the game sit here like it is now will only dwindle the customer base. It's your money we are jus suggesting ideas. I thank you for your responses Hitech. Good luck.

There is no basis in reality that we  let the "Game sit here like it is now".

By making that statement you are insulting the thing i do day in and day out.

Go suck an egg.

Once more a pleonasm.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Wasn't that some kind of sea dinosaur?

Yep, but it still gives an approximation of sorts as to how many are playing in the MA. If one checks it throughout each coming month, you can get an idea of if people are subscribing or not.....nothing exact or guaranteed, but similar to say a barometer of fluctuation in players playing in the MA....

Sir, I know you are working hard behind the scenes, but us players who like your game sometimes need a visible morale boost, and the low player numbers on arena is not exactly a morale booster.

That's why we - the players, are giving you suggestions, we are also the paying customers, the paying customers of today and not the ones from 10 years ago who are already not subscribed and not playing.I'm sure the old timers who were supporting you for this whole time would still continue to support you on this endeavor.
While they are here, you have to remember that we 'new players' are also here, and if the game is to have more players, there needs to be more new players.

I'm positive if new things were tried on a weekly basis on arena, for a short period of time, no one would 'unsubscribe' but people would be logging in, to check those changes, and giving you feedback on it - to make the game better, we all play it after all.

If people would not like the changes whatever they might be, everything can be rolled back, no harm done, but a lot can be gained.

No offense nugetx,

How ever way you think your last post above about trying new things because of new players (subscribed) is telling of your true lack of knowledge about this particular type of mmo genre of WWII Air Combat and land/sea battles

HiTech as you should already know has been in the WWII air combat mmog business for over 30+ years and has seen every idea posted most tested and he knows what his subscribing customers want/desire and what ideas don't work

As for giving moral boost to this game's community, Hitech and HTC have never stopped giving moral boost since he opened Aces High for open beta in mid/late 1999

Cheers

Edit: I wonder how many people would subscribe if they had the preference/option to open a small window for their Facebook and/or another small window for twitter or Instagram

People these days are addicted to Social media like a drug addict to heroine...everyone you see has some type of device in hand or on their computer and constantly on Social media, 24/7 even while they are working and playing games...heh
