OK, genius.  Let me know when you have 300 players back in the arena.  I'll open an account.

Heck, let me know when you reliably hit even 250.

But without changing something, nothing will change.  Good luck with that.

We hit 200 last winter genius. You’re just baiting me.

Shut it, its on AH bbs. Learn it, live it, love it. Its my thread.

He's just skimming.

Thats what EVERYONE knows you WERE doing. You’re such a horrific liar, you talk in nonsense circles contradicting yourself. Frankly, you’re just full of sht, the epic dweeb. As mentioned by more than me, you wouldn’t be missed. Now you snd your flower boy get back to holding gands and frolic in your flowers together, neither of you can handle me on your own. Wiyh trips it has to be a gang bang because he’s weak snd easoly called out.

200 isn't 250.

A little early, but bon appetit.

You're on a roll now!

Pour another shot.

Helping a coworker get started in DCS. Yes, I still work a few hours a week from home. FWIW I told him about Aces High too. He isn't interested. Youngster though, only 47.

Bottom line, without significant changes of some kind, I see no feasible way to bring a material number of new players into AH.

Like the guy on Enigma's discord, I only see the possibility of reactivating previous players for one last merry-go-round.

But why would they come back?  They are going to ask what has changed?  If they've been gone long enough, there is VR.  Updated graphics in 2018. 

But I think you need something more.  Like maybe a 1 month "welcome back" trial for previous account holders or something.  Something.  Anything.   HTC, would probably have the emails and be in the best position to approach those previous players with a new deal.  Something.  Anything.  Lift a finger.  Move the needle.

20 yrs? In your own words you quit 9 yrs ago. Its only 25 yrs old.
See, you csn’t be taken seriously because you embellish  a lot.

Kinda like you guys sell a game and hide the big issues. You’re never honest

Fish on!

I've come and gone many times over the years under different handles. 

Last time was 2018 until hmmm 2020.

Was intrigued to try the War Online: Pacific and maybe a breath of fresh air.  Nope.  That was a mistake.

And I occasionally play with the ME and build things for me to play myself offline.

But you go girl.  Pour another shot.

I've kept touch with the sim to see if anything further will change.   I've been trying to root for HTC since 1999.  But I don't sugar coat for anyone and I don't join cults.  And I don't just pay rent for games that have decided to stop all development.  But hope springs eternal.

Are we posting about "other sims" Or AH?

Since the OP wants to talk about AH now, lets talk about AH ....

ENY Side-Balance issue ever get solved?

I was here for the auto swap thingy that was a real feces fest but my undertanding is that the best work around right now is to make and pay for 3 susbcritions, parking each sub on a diferent side and log into that sub when side balance goes south and you want to change sides to fly your favorite ride.

While having 2 extra shade accounts was frowned upon for cheating/spying, I'm guessing HT is OK with it these days, Lets be honest it's a bonus welfare check.

have we ever gotten an Auto/perma squelch?

Last new plane/ship/vehicle?

When was the last true functional feature added to AH?

I'm guessing it was a autoside swap feces fest that came out back in 2019/2020ish.

I hear just keeping the server on and online have become somewhat of an issue as of late.

I'm not going to ask about the graphics engine.

What exactly does AH offer the new player to draw them in that they can't get elsewhere that's either better or cheaper?

What exactly is going to bring back old players that have aleady given up on AH and moved on?

I think when it cost more than it brings in or the investment isn't worth the time..we will get the doors are closing email and all this noise will stop..

Try to enjoy it while you can

Case in point.  I just got a email yesterday from WWIIOnline trying to entice me back.



This isn't spam in the sense at one time I did give them my email by choice.  I had done a trial.  That gives us a past relationship.  That doesn't qualify as random spam.

That must have been 15 years ago.  LoL.  I hope HTC has actually kept past players emails.  In this case its no sale, but I was never really a player there and they are not really offering me any sweetener to give them another try, but good on them for lifting a finger and making an effort.  I can unsubscribe if it bothers me.

Sometimes you just have to flat out ASK for the sale instead of waiting for customers to come to you.

$0.02.

Son and I played a little of that. The ground war was fun. The air war was just funny.

We enjoyed this one too.

I used to have soooo much fun playing this one.  Sim?  No.  Fun?  Heck yeah!
