The 30 dollar unlimited offer...

[CptTrips]

Hi Greybeard,

I've seen many pilots from across the pond lamenting how their paying more than their American cousins.  I'm no economist, but isn't the whole point to the exchange rate is to determine the relative values of currency?  So "in real terms" aren't they paying the same relative amount as we are ignoring the minor differences in living standard.  Isn't it like saying :

"you only had to run 1 mile,
 I had to run 1.6 km!"

Dazed, and confused,

Hi Hitech

I still think the $30 is a seriously bad idea. Rivals with the same type of game are only charging $6 a month.

You could probably get allot more pilots flying your game if the price structure was looked at a little more carefully, I think you might find people will be struggling to pay £30 sub every month, if the arenas start looking dry those who can pay wont wanna cos theres hardly anyone to kill.

Well, wether everybody agrees or not, we'll just have to wait and see if it floats when they push it in the water.

Hotpants: the difference between us and them is that we don't have a multi-billion dollar corporation backing us.

Which is a good thing IMHO. To many cooks in the kitchen will make "that other game" turn into a game

Another Aussie here paying approx. AUS$55 a month for the US$30.

I along with most of my squad mates will definately being trying the Beta - hopefully I'll be able to afford $55 a month for AH if it is good enough.

Hehe, $30=750 rubles  

My official salary is 370 roubles per month. It's what I pay taxes for. Still I think I can afford playing AH. ;-) I will not need coffee and popcorn - just beer and salted fish. In fact - I prefer it to "food" even now  

Speaking of a reasonable flat-rate in Russia, I think that 50-100 roubles ($2-$4) per month is maximum that non-addicts will be able to pay. I don't think AH team is THAT altruistic ;-)

Even if they are, another problem is to deliver money to them. I am tired of solving different problems with my CC in Most bank. And I lost about $200 when Rossiyskiy Kredit bank was ruined a year ago.

But, as I mentioned above - this counts only for non-addicts :-)) Poor me!

man and im pissed cause my toyota needs body work.
 how the hell can u live on salted fish and beer, crist all that salt and alcohol has got to be bad for somthin in your gizzard.

also i have got to fly with you boroda you are a trooper. you russians have been gettin the short end of the stick so long its amazing. you are this texans hero for a day where the hell do yu live in russian?

well moore to the point.

in airwarrior my favorite plane was la7 (was it the 7?) the most fun to fly for me ( all cannon 2, 20s as i remember or that was the rumor and a short clip)it could be flown in either a b&Z mode or turnfight well. it was the master of no form  for but decent at all.

I.E. easy to get tactics right.

you just fought the fight you adversary sucked at ( and ran like hell from spits)the hand of a good pilot made it a first rate plane (aginst the super 9spit in aw nothin had a chance)in the company of 109s and 190s.

you get lots of attention as la7s were treated like yaks to the uninformed. and i got lots o suprised angry messages cause prople never saw um in the air.

in short bring on that la5 baby !!!!


   

 


i assume the la5 is a similat aircraft, what is the armmement of a la5? were there historical variations battle field modifications in armement ? hell i for one have the time. and newsgroups are free hehe ( its hard to fly at 2.oo an hour after reading the posts for flat rate hehe.

I guess the point is that $30 US is still cheap enough that the arena's will be maxed out if people enjoy the game (personally I think it's really cheap compared to other forms of entertainment).

Of course there will be people that can't afford $30, but there are also people that can't afford $1. What the hell are you supposed to do, run a charity?

Actually this thread has given me an idea hehehe - ever read "letters from a nut"? Time to write one to Daimler-Benz hehehehehehe
