A different pricing structure
« on: March 24, 2001, 03:44:00 PM »


Moon Dog:  "Hi.  My name is Moon Dog and I'm an Air Warrior."

Ex-AWers: "Hi,  Moon Dog !"

OK,  introductions are now out of the way.  

I liked Air Warrior - that's why I played it. Now I don't like Air Warrior - so I doubt I'll play it again. I would love to hang my hat in AH now,  but the price makes for a high bar to Fosbury Flop.  It's not so much the price as the fact that I have limited play time and there's probably no way I'd get the value from the game based on hours played.  What I would LOVE to do is play mainly the scenarios.  It's what I've done for months in the AW world.  Very little arena work,  but the scenarios are my world.  At the pace of AH scenarios (which I wouldn't change.  Too many events cheapens them.),  I would end up paying about $90-$120 bucks per scenarios and I'm afraid that just wouldn't be worth it.

Soooooo.....

How about a "Special events only" pricing plan? I would gladly pay $10-$20 bucks for a good scenario (essentially what I've been paying anyway).  Practice could easily happen with the H2H option on my own free time, so I would only be paying for the scenario time.  It would probably work out to $2 an hour or thereabouts, so it would be on a par with the cost of Warbirds.

I could go the cheesy route and keep signing up for the free 2 weeks over and over and canceling when it's done, but that's just not...         wait a minute....      Maybe I shouldn't be so hasty.  Never mind.

Two snapshots a week, plus multiframe events  .

I gather you could hone your skills in h2h, but MA is a good place if ya wanna learn how to get outta very bad situations 8and how not to get outta um  ).

Hey Moondog!!  

Long time no see buddy.

Bite the bullet and get yourself an account. Its worth it.

The Scenarios and special events are worth it alone. Trust me, I helped to put together and build the Scenario Corps here, even though I am currently on sabatical. They're a great bunch of guys that put out some really high quality events.

If you get yourself an account, get ahold of me, Westy, or Whels.

Moondog... welcome to aces high sir.

That is a good idea.

I have read proposed price decreases but they were mainly for unlimited monthly play.

A pay by the hour or pay for the scenarios would be a great idea IMO.

Play by the hour for scenarios? I get enough of that sort of talk from the call-girls in this town...

Okay, it's a good idea.

IMO, just sign up for a month to fly the scenario.  Easy.

Even better - if everyone could just send me their logins and passwords,  I'll just choose one at random until one works and I'll fly under that CPID.  After all,  not everybody can be online at the same time.

Yeah! You might remember me? I was RAGS in AWier. Look me up, we'll take my 27 year old Winnebago off the blocks out front of my trailer, load up up the stryofoam 'refrigerator' with quart sized Jeigermeister and cruise town burping 'n' belchin 'n' holler'n "SooouuuuEeeeeiii" at the town folk walking by!


 3rdUp!! You plan on trying a REAL man's JU-88? It's got torpedo capability you know? <wiggle bait> Imagine if you will, if you had actually been the gunner all those times! <"pops" bait on surface> Well, you can now!! <heee he heee tries the slow reel-in>
