HTC might want to consider allowing people who tried AH a few years ago another 2 week trial period. I tried it around 3 years ago and didn't care for it. I've been told by many that it's a completely new sim now and had planned on giving it a go, but after spending the time to download it, I found that I was unable to try it again because I'd had the 2 week free trial quite some time ago.
If the game has changed that much, you should erase the old trial period records and give people another go. If not, then leave things as they are.
Personally, if it's any better I'd probably subscribe, but then I kept an account with WWII Online for nearly a year without even flying it for the last 8 months out of that year, just in the hopes they'd actually do something with their time instead of leaving things as stupid as they are.
