While I keep my sub going I haven't logged into the game in almost a year now. I did for an hour or so making sure my settings still worked getting ready for TC's memorial flight then had to miss that as my FIL started to spiral. Sorry, Johnny. Miss you bud!
There's a lot I miss about this game. A lot of great times. I miss the people. Back when I was flying most nights like religion there were hundreds of others that were too. Seems that's gone. Nothing I'm reading here on the boards or this thread in particular is saying I need to come back. I never ran from a fight. Flying a 38 almost exclusively it wasn't an option most of the time. Was always glad for the fight, live or die. The pickers were always part of the game through the years and were always annoying. But when ya had hundreds playing the percentage of them was at least semi-tolerable! Now it seems that has become the name of the game. Personally, I've never understood how one could do everything they could tho avoid combat in a combat game but I guess that is what it is.
And that pretty much sums it up. It is what it is.

In all honesty, the bbs tends to magnify issues. The loudest are heard most. It's not as bad as some post, not as good as some wish. I may get a runner 1 of 10 fights. 90% of those on 200 are tolerable, in fact we have a lot of fun more times than not. The worst I saw was the YKW nonsense, but that SEEMS to be over now. It pushed quiet a few away. Hopefully they'll get the word and return.
HT seems to be spending more time on the bbs and game, new severs, a dar adjustment, cleaning house...etc.
We have it in a good spot, we just need to get the numbers back up, at least to what we had last year. Friday was 130, it creeps past critical mass.
We've had some good scenarios too.
Some of you were vets when I started in AW around 89-90ish, then 95, then AH. There would be a hole if you guys weren't around. kinda a reason I returned, old faces and history.
I hope you find time to make some form of return. It's still a blast, don't put much stock in the bbs rants.
