Now, I am talkin out my you know what again, but here goes:)

Just read another thread with some posts regarding paying more for what the players wanted, rather than hangin in the current sandbox.

I'm just curious, how many of you would pay more for a different arena with larger maps, more strat targets, etc.? Or who would pay more just to seperate from the gamey, HO, channel 1 insult laden MA?

Personally, I would gladly pay $49.95 to fly a larger arena with increased realism, a more difficult flight model and different type of adversary(that's a nice way to say it huh)

I doubt seriously that HT would ever provide this unless the MA populated to the extent of busting at the seams.

Oh well, I was just curious...I'm still able to have fun in the current MA and that's what it's all about.

Not me. For $50 USD, I can buy a copy of CFS2 or CFS3 when it comes out and fly unlimited for free for months afterwards.

At $49.95/month, he'll probably be playing with a whole helluva lot more guys than you would be.

I do this: Fly in events and the CT only. MA, whats that?

Try it for a month. You may never go back. Btw, it costs the same

That's about what my AH life is limited to anymore...(SEA)

If you would have asked me this question months ago, I would say sure.

But for 49.95 a month, $40.00 for cable modem access, your looking at almost $90.00 a month to play a game.

I simply can't afford that much right now.

If AH made a massive overhaul, (New Strat, Troops, New GV's, FPS Maproom defence, graphics overhaul, bigger, better, historically accurate maps) I would do it. I would not be able to affford it, but for this much entertainment, I would sell a kidney or something.

Forget all that other nancy-boy stuff you mentioned Rude; what we need is truly IMPORTANT stuff.

Heck, I'd go $49.95 if he'd just give us Perma-squelch (Tm).

No matter what kind of fancy, realistic features HTC gives AH, in the MA you are still going to see suicide runs by single planes against heavily defended bases, etc.

Most players are in the MA to have fun, thus there is a lot of dweebiness going on.

If you want increased realism and a different kind of adversary, try the CT, and let people know what you think.

"a more difficult flight model and different type of adversary"

It was $29.95, and called, "AH 1.03".

Ah, yeah. Who can forget all those "price whines" on this very BBS when it was that incredibly huge amount?

....... and who can forget that the 1.03 FM was shown to be "less realistic" and incorrect by the aeronautical guys we have come to know and trust on this very bbs? Not to mention the folks at HTC that do the programming. Some great whinage in that transition too.

Yeah, It seems since AW died, invaded, raped and plundered AH -things just haven’t been the same in this game.

Lots of those guys make more playtime on CH 1 than they could ever dream of hands on stick.

I for one hope AW does rise from the dead and takes all its dribble back with it. Of course, the really good ones would stay here so ...bonus points for all involved.
