There are 50 people logged in right now.

Earlier a few hours was 30.


Someone care to explain why?

My guess is there was a net difference of 20 people, between the two times, which caused the numbers to change.

And all that was true before, when we had 100, 150, 300 and more players in the MA at this very time we are having ~75 right now.

So why in 2008 you had 100 poeple vs 30 in 2017  and 300 vs 100 ?

Careful, you might be moving a bit fast for him to keep up.

I am guessing it is because some people stopped playing.

Unless you are a stock holder, or an employee, of HiTech Creations, Inc., I am pretty sure you are not going to get access to any of that data.  Just a hunch, mind you.

Yes and just my squadron alone, lost whels, LW (LoneWolf), X2Lee, RTR and 1 or maybe 2 more since 2008.... They were awesome squaddies and felt more like Family than just some people you played games with....going back further we lost Buzzard,  Niff, KGann and a couple more as well... All of my "Damned" Brothers were well respected AW then Aces High community members

Heh,  y of course he does
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

POTW have had at least 2 members pass, while over time about 50-60 players have come and gone as squad members. If you research financial studies, one of the biggest problems with millenials as consumers is they want everything for free. Some give them the credit with leading the movement to cut the cord from cable and it's fees, while some point to the millenials and their lack of disposable income since 2008 creating the era of FTP, pay to win, bait and switch games. AH wanting money for a full time subscription is hard to take for some of them once the word Free is associated to AH at Steam. To them, that's an unsustainable demand in a reality that sustainability is one of their most important ideals. 

I don't think nuget cares about this game or playing it, he has a captive audience in our forums which is far more important to him. Hitech provides an excellent soap box while exercising the patience of Methuselah to look at ideas no matter how dead the horse has been beaten. I hope over the years he has received his bribe as Christmas presents from his fans for this.

By the way, it almost looks like when the field you are at is captured, you are moved to the next field in your country with the highest amount of activity.

Makes sense. Even then, if ya wanna take off from a less busy field, you can. One might claim AH doesn't offer many options .... but it really does. The point of this thread, however, seems to be .... how can anyone claim they can't find the action when the game, itself, is programmed to place you there?
