Poll: Enable CT for H2H'ers?

HTC, yes, please giveaway your product.  We don't want to pay to play your fantastic game.  If it were free, just imagine how many people you would have online.  

You may have to get some loans, mortgage your homes, and sell blood to pay for all that bandwidth, but you won't mind, cause think of all the players you would have!!!!

tard of the week, maybe?

My comments were meant in fun. I don't care who they let where, or for how much as long as it's fair. One thing I do have a problem with is that making CT a Free Arena, will also be letting kids in, who don't care about flying as much as harrassing the  people in the arena. As it stands now usually CT is a great experiance if you can stand the fact that you may fly a while before you fight on a slow night. Send in a few kids who are playing for free, and the next thing you know the text buffer is going to be full of trash talk, taunts, and the chest beating about how great they are. To be honest, I like every person thats a regular in CT. They not only fly well, they act like adults, sure we'll get the occasional guy in there who will raise hell with the rest of the  arena, but it's pretty rare.  I don't want to play with a bunch of 12 year olds. I have this hobby to get a little time away from the kids, not take lip off a bunch of little wild animals that don't care how they act.
Sorry bud if it wasnt for that I'd think it would be a good idea.

Oooo... Ooooo... a better idea....

How about if a country in the MA is grossly outnumbered, we let the H2Hrs fight for that country for free.  That should help even out the numbers and make everything all better.

Been many a time when my country was down to two bases and I've thought to myself... "If only we had some of the H2H guys here to help us out."

How is this idea? I agree that the original one was quite unfair, but how about making people pay for only the arenas they want to fly in?

CT only for $7.50
SEA only for $7.50
CT & SEA for $10
CT, SEA & DA (for tournies, etc) for $12
All arena's $15


(MA & TA only included on $15 subscription to prevent 100+ players downgrading their subscription on day one cos they only fly in MA.  DA only on $12 subscription to prevent it being used as another MA by the real cheapskates)

If ya can't afford $15 a month... how can ya afford $7.50?


most kids do better than $15 for weekly allowance...

buy one less 6 pack a month
buy two less packs of smokes
rent two fewer movies
go to a matinee or tuesday cheap night to see a movie stead of fri night
buy no-name stead of name brand

if its a case of you can't talk your parents into lettin u use their credit card for $15 a month, but might be able to for less than $10... use money orders.. and ta hell with the folks +)

It's not about "affording it".  

It's more of an initial "How much?!?!?!!" kind of reaction.  And then ya get the complaints about no realistic countries and planesets.......but with the above pricing scheme I could retort with the line "Well, a realistic arena is actually cheaper.....".

yeah, why not enable MA and TOD for H2Hers too. :rolleyes:

$15/mo is a bargain folks.  Like somebody else said, 50 cents/day.

I like Swoops set up:

$7.50 for CT or SEA
10$for both,
And 12$ CT,SEA and DA (though when you get to 12$ you might as well do the 15$)

It's not that we can't afford it, just why pay for an arena you don't wanna fly in?

cajun yes it is about you somehow are unable to pay to play.

if u could pay, then you already would be, and probably would be reacting similar to some of the others posting in this thread +)

Now THIS is the best solution:

Most players aren't online a lot (1 or 2 hours average per day). Those are not enough to fill the MA. But they enjoy flying in a crowded MA.

Free accounts for all players with 8 hours or more online time per day ;)

AH is already one of the cheapest online sims and IMHO gives the best bang for buck out of all of them, if you want to play in the large arena's then stump up the cash...HTC are hardly charging a fortune for this.
