How have we lost so many people to this wonderful game?

Same here.   Now I have two girlfriends who do what I say.   

Flippz doesn't count 

[SPKmes]

so now we are back to three sides?

Yes, but we are trying a different theme to see if it appeals to the market more:

I'd be more concerned with tech support.

Have you tried calling Blizzard, EA, or whatever other game company for tech support? It is not on the list of expected services.

Do you have any idea what those cost?  And it's not like you get more than 5 hours of use out of them a month.  Definitely a worse value for the dollar.

Depends on how good in bed she is

Indirect usage counts. 

Laundry.

Dishes. 

Dusting. 

Running errands.

I'm already building a terrain:

Now after everyone is asleep, I can get on and goof around, but a half hour may only get a few sorties before I have to get to bed before work again the next day.

This is true (or at one time was true) for many of us.  Half an hour is all you get, and that may only be three or four days a week.  So far as I'm concerned, it's still worth the money ($2.00/hour?  Less?), but it does mean that you aren't particularly interested in flying a bomber across the map, cleverly planning the conquest of the virtual world, or flying ten minutes to a capped base.  You want some prompt action, which you can repeat over that cherished half hour of your day.

+1 on that OM.  For more and more of us now, all we do is strap on our VR goggles, up from a close base, and have a blast flying around for a half-hour or so.  Or on Monday evenings visit the AvA for some of the best pilot to pilot combat you'll see in the game.

You may wish to go back and try read your posts.

This statement is directly crapping on my efforts.

Read my previous post.What do you think broken nut crackers are?

Im sorry you took it that way as it was not meant that way.

My comment "With the utmost respect, hows that working out for you?" meant exactly that.....

With the utmost respect.......

1. did the release of War Online: Pacific generate the same interest as AH when you released it?
2. did you get the population numbers you were hoping for?
3. will there be more coming for that game?
4. I know you said that wasnt the purpose, but did it generate any more crossover interest to AH?
5. is the gambling option still a possibility?

in general, hows it working out? I was honestly interested it whether or not it has met your expectations. Personally I dont think it has and thats a shame after all the time and effort you put into it.

As for the nut crackers, I have seen many break, many work as advertised and a few even bite you back, but experimentation is the only way your going to know for sure whether an idea is going to work out or not.

Here is a question or two for those of you who float around the bbs but don't have a current sub:

What was the situation that made you cancel your sub?

What will it take to bring you back in to the sub fold?

I wrote A LOT of offline or "staged" missions for AH2, and got discouraged when AH3 came out without enough backward-compatibility to support any of them.

When AH3 demanded a more powerful computer, I didn't want to spend the money. There were several reasons for this, but the primary one was that I have SO MANY computers that would have needed the upgrade. When at home, I was switching back and forth between 3 desktop PCs. When on the road, I was switching back and forth among two different laptops. I had also given cheap, used laptops to four grandsons and was trying to get them interested in AH, and they were dabbling in AH2's free H2H mode (using old version 2.12.4 on my LAN). Those laptops could support AH2 pretty well, but they just couldn't run AH3 well enough to keep them interested.

Ultimately it was easier for me to just write my own free combat flight sim for LINUX ("Linux Air Combat"). It will never be as feature-rich as AH3 but it will never cost me anything either.

To bring me back, AH would need to support the rich library of old offline or "staged" missions on low-cost hardware.
