146,893 currently online in WT at 2am CST. Obviously they're not all in the same arena. What I was saying was a massive number of players that play the game. Seems some think that meant all in one arena.

Thats why I was asking. Lets keep the discussion to all apples vs comparing apples to oranges.

Aces has one main arena where you can interact with over 100 players most nights. What numbers does WT have per arena/playfield? If it cant match AH then I dont think its fair to call it "a game with massive numbers".

Apparently, subscription gaming is not all that unusual.  AH is the only game that I play, so don't know anything about the other subscription services, but found this interesting:

We’re off Shanes rails at this point. But I agree. I think some get bit by smoke and mirrors of marketing. Ya can’t stop so many from a fad of believing that they don’t spend as much, or more, to play other games.

Our points made here, other games may have better graphics for the same money, but its at a trade off of intensive fun. IMO, 200-300 in one arena is more fun than small populated servers.

Before AW I played those type of games. I always got that sense of confined. Then I saw AW larger MP arena and it was like the holy grail, and has remained so. AW graphics were aged too, most put that aside for large MP arenas.  So to a lot of us old dogs, we’v been down this road before.

Some play 2-4 games, are dumping money and need this one to be free. Its a pattern, those who don’t mind $15 this is the only game they play. Should this be free because ya play many games with investments? No. Ya don’t pay for the game, ya pay for a big arena and the maintenance and equipment to do so.

Will others discover these facts? Evidently not.


Paid for fluffy graphics with less free fun
Paid more fun with free less fluffy graphics
No game seems to have both.

Pick your poison. Nothing is free.

Logic seems to be a hard point to accept for some.

As for main subject, what he states is true. There are dweebs in every game, ruining it. Maybe pretty planes has less, its also boring. Another trade off.

Don’t mean to offend, but repeatedly complaining about in open air does just as harm as the act behind closed doors.it puts negative in everyones face, including visitors who are deciding to play, or not. Ya just told them not to. We all know all the negatives, we don’t have to be reminded every 4-7 days. And its not just shane. We have a small group of broken records. They make it look worse than it actually is. Its bad PR.

Numbers is our current problem, being over shadowed by other graphics. So instead of complaining what low numbers cause I put my energy into promoting. That is the core problem. This other stuff are symptoms and smaller beans.

Good point

More customers, but not a massive crown in one place.
Its hard to not make comparisons tho. But I do think they are apples and oranges.

No offense intended

I compare servers and MP MA to living in the city or the country. Much bigger space.

Part and most of the issue is players ignoring the am bish. Go beat them down. I mean this with no disrespect but most am bish couldn’t fly if they were on autopilot. The other thing is most am they are in 15eny+ planes. Grab a demon and kill a few.
This am I watched 2 guys on the nits lift from a field and fly two sectors away from the field being over ram. Now it’s their $15 to avoid combat but in a while it hurts the arena as i watched 3 guys that we’re defending log off as we had no help but again grab a plane get some alt and run through them sissy am bish.
Also am rooks are as bad. Every am have to gang the nits.  But I am convinced 90% of the player base left would be ok with no actual contact with some one that doesn’t fly straight for them.
