Instead of locking planes with ENY, they should be unlocked by points

You are wrong about the reason why AW shut down.

lol ack-ack, do you know we have this wonderful tool called internet in this day and age? I can go back in time to 2001 (on this board) and I will give you a quote.

'Not quite. AW was one of the oldest games around of the "$9.95 all you can eat" type. AW's problemwas that besides the AW3 graphics change, it just .....never changed. All the features promised for AW II never made it into AW III either. The final AW slide to this point has been in the making for over 4 years IMO when they failed to do anything with the program the last time they had a chance..

 You can only rest on your laurels for so long before community innovation and veteran interest starts to wane.  'Maintenance Mode" = online death.  Especially when competition arrives on the scene as WB's did, then Fighter Ace and now AH.

 I've yet to see any threat of  AH settling for "status quo" or heading for "maintenance mode."'

Air warrior and Warbirds were both in 'maintenance mode'.

Lucky for Aces High there is no competition in form of online ww2 flight simulator.

Back in time tere were 3 sims   Air Warrior, Warbirds, AH, now there is only 1.

Why did EA shut down AW?

EA wanted the source code for the portal that AW used for the game. They bought the game and grabbed the code and closed up AW.
