Author Topic: Two subscriptions required? (Read 1297 times)

4th time I started posting this. Keep saying to myself "Sour, why you bring this up?" and close browser. Any way, here goes:

Just curious. Will one subscription count for both Aces High: Classic and Aces High: Tour of Duty? To be honest with you, I don't care either way, I just want to start prepping the Boss-lady in the case of additional fees......

and g/l to you at HTC for your vision.

No mention of dual subsriptions, so you will probably only need one.

Yeah Sour I asked the same question (but kinda hid what I was asking in an obscure title) No one bothered to look at it... its here

Question About New Arena

Pretty much the same thing you asked bud..

Didnt HT mention that the mission arena would just be another arena? Do you have to have two subs for the CT or for Events?

Innominate I'd agree with you if that was the case, but the AHII seems to be almost an entirely different game, that would need a different download.

If it does become the core download, but then the "Classic" arena is still available then probably not, but it really seems they're moving into an entirely new product here.

Thanks HT for the response albeit some what short, but helpful. I like to think that this is an understanding mature community (for the most part, other than the occasional jokesters) and that you are an active participant in something you've created with your staff. We appreciate the staff bringing most of the plans/updates to the Aces High community eventhough you've got to keep some order, and privacy. Its just nice to be informed. Thanks again.

Prolly take more record keeping in the Mission Arena. Additional servers. Ya, it should have its own subscription. If it's going to be $15/mo, so be it. I think I would enjoy both for different reasons and would appreciate a choise when I log on to the type of flyn I'd be able to do:)

Will it make people chose between MA or Mission arena, I don't know. I think most would pay the additional fee. Just a feeling about this community.

Hm AHII looks to be quite nice... But even the problem with a new GE it also brings the problem of divided players, b/c i dont think players of the old GE will be able to play with players with the new GE... So there is the next question how do u want to handle the payment, i dont think that HTC will offer it for free download like Aces High and rise the same costs for it, because every AH player would "upgrade" to the new system. So how will HTC wanto to sell it? As a free download and a one-time-only-30$ fee, or as boxed version. But boxed version would probably be the death of most "old" players who arent able to buy it at store, like me and i think many many others too..
Just my 2cents.....
and sorry for my poor english

Only reason that would create the need for a new name - a new product.

One subscription for the new product will surely include a subscription to the old one, so there will only be one required.

I'm not sure if I like this. It'll split the community. Not only for the kind of game each likes to play but probably for financial reasons.

What HTC MAY be doing could be ingenious.

Here is a way to upgrade the Game Engine, thereby satisfying the owners of higher end PCs, while keeping the original AH with the same game engine to maintain the current subscriber base.

It's a great business decision if this is what he's planning.

Think about it. And I know he said "Undecided" but we can speculate, so relax.

You get the newer players who want the eye candy. You get the players with the higher end machines. They pay their $15.00 a month, and get the mission arena.

Then you keep the original AH as is, the players with older machines keep paying their $15.00 a month.

Boom. You've got a whole new game, and you grow your subcriber base.

Maybe a compromise would work. (I know, more speculation)

$20.00 a month, access to both arenas.
$10.00 a month, access to original AH arenas.

LoL ooops sorry, seems i forget to write down THAT´s JUST HYPOTHETICALLY! Sorry, but i´d play other Onlione games before it, and just want to say what i dont like to see in AH or AHII. ;-)

I'm not worried..If this new theatre works as said you won't see much of me in the MA anymore.
