Population/Popularity
« on: November 13, 2018, 09:17:29 PM »
Hi Aces High community:

I'm coming back to the game after being away for 8 years. It appears this game is still being played, which I'm thankful for. This is the best WW2 fighter sim online. How many players are usually on in the evening for the arena/server? Just trying to get an idea if its worth me going out and buying a joystick, ect.

Thank you,
True.

Well, if you come back there will be one more  :)

Weeknights US prime time there is 120+, weekends prime time it gets closer to 200+

Whats need is more players coming back instead of "thinking" about coming back.  :devil

I've been playing over 17 years and although the numbers are not what they used to be, the game is just as much fun to play.

Come on back.

Agreed.  If you had fun then, you'll have fun now.

Not only that, but the game is cheaper in adjusted dollars.

Welcome back to the wood shed True. Yesterday Shuffler declared it Bacon day and POTW led by Waystin delivered Bacon to everyone.

Thanks for the honest feedback everyone. I really enjoyed this game and I don't understand how it's not thriving as its the #1  WWII air combat sim online. Seems to me thousands should be playing not hundreds. I'll see about getting another joystick. Keep your  cross hairs off me if you see me in the skies <S>

"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
