Aces High 'Classic'?

[Bear76]

AH didn't lose the player numbers after any specific change. AH lost players gradually after early 2008 without any substantial changes being made. The was no 'golden' version of AH that everybody played until "things were changed".

amen

the biggest problem was when they removed the sheep!!! no more putting them in the back of the cockpit, no more slamming into one with a tank and stopping dead!!! I miss the sheep!!! I think a lot of people quit because of them!!! it was soooo sad!!!

One time I was walking and saw this fat lady.
She fell down and I laughed.
Then I thought, "What if I were an ant, and she fell on me?   That wouldn't be very funny."

i dont think our 14.95 is harsh at all but the fact that our game mechanics never change and all the other games do really hurts us and i hate it because i love Aces high so much but it has become boring after doing the same thing for 10 years.

The appearance of constant development and new things being added is a big one.  Particularly when a subscription is involved.

So is the constant community glad handing.  People want to feel involved in development these days.  They want to feel that the designers need and value their input, and they want to see what is planned.  Kinda sounds like communism to me, but that's what people expect.

What a stupid thing to say. Ignorance knows no bounds with some here.

We use to log on at night to wage war, out witt and out fight our opponents to that end. We were all WWII pilots in our minds if only for a little while.

That's what scenarios are still for. 

There's one coming up in October.

those other games are putting out new tanks/planes/cars out on a regular basis. when was our last one? 

they have better graphics but we can support 1300 people in a arena that we cant get 300 people in

they communicate with their community on projects being worked on and give a time frame we are left in the dark

when other games our putting out new things every 1-3 months and we are waiting years well  people are gonna start to move to the newer things over time.

Iracing you gotta buy Tracks and cars each of them $12-$15 a pop over a thousand dollars in content and it cost $13 a monthly fee.

while Tanks/ships is free dang near no one plays without a premium account. they say free and sucker money out in other ways

world of warcraft is 14.95 a month as well

i dont think our 14.95 is harsh at all but the fact that our game mechanics never change and all the other games do really hurts us and i hate it because i love Aces high so much but it has become boring after doing the same thing for 10 years.

Well said Sir, that's a wise post

Your right behind him ........

[Dundee]

Absolutely.

WWII is now over 70 years away, you will hardly find as many young people exposed to and fascinated by (in?) WWII combat airplanes today that back when most of us where young. It's even more pronounced over here. Twenty year olds mostly don't even have grandparents anymore who could remember the 40s.
That's just they way the times are changing.

I barely remember the 40's I would have been 3 years old. In the mid 70's my Uncle invited me to go to England with him for the 40th reunion of the 2nd Air Division 8th Air Force reunion in Norwich.....talk about pictures and stories in the Bar....Priceless

So tell me what changed in AH2 that make the player numbers gradually drop between 2009 and 2016.
