A lot of that enjoyment in AH3 is because of the player base.
I agree.
First I wanted to thank you for you for all your contributions. I think you are one of those in the player base that make the game better.
A couple points about AH: I don't recall seeing more then one or two legitimately new players over the last few years that I played. In my recollection it seems like many of the players who made the game fun have moved on and most of the players that left are either all about their score, or are bitter,or are the "you're a cheater" if you killed me type. I think that most of players that made the game fun have moved on and that for the most part the remaining players has sadly shifted to these types.
In the other games I play you might have some camaraderie between other members of your squad but it's not as widespread at AH. For the most part most of the cross-country communications are straight up trash talking or ridicule. Of course you know what I think about 200 and the mods. I have said far more "questionable" stuff in the other games I play and never once received a warning or a time out or any of that stuff. Along the same lines I'm not sure if people have played other games and had a chance to see what happens in some of them. Some of the people are downright rude and it's allowed, because then again it is an online "game" Personally I think if you allow people to spew profanity on the range channel without a check that 200 should be a FFA as well.
It was a fun ride while it lasted, and who knows, maybe someday it will be again. In the meantime I want to salute all you guys that worked on FSOs, scenarios, maps, skins and all the other things that have contributed to the game.
