Yeah definately lowering the price will be a good move, I've been checking out AH for quite a time now, playing h2h etc..

The game seems very appealing to me, but I'm still hanging between AH and WBIII -that is, waiting to see the III wonder if and when it comes out..

$19.95 (or even $9.95 which would be too good to be true) might just (will) turn the scale for me to become a hitech customer. Us europeans pay already huge extra expenses for the priviledge of being online. I second the idea fully!

My 2 cents on pricing:

I was an FA guy, but unhappy with the lack of realism and the jerks.  I heard that AH was good, so I checked out the 2 week freebie in June.  I liked it, but I didn't subscribe.  Reason:  $30 is more than I was willing to pay.

So I got the special offer, thought about it, and decided to subscribe to AH.  For me, $20 a month was acceptable.  So now here I am.

I don't blame you old timers being pissed off that I am paying less than you.  However, it doesn't take Carnac the magnificent to see that HTC is considering lowering the standard price, and that soon you will all be paying less.

I predict the price will soon be $20 for everyone.  I further predict that the sample size of people who got the $15 and $10 offers is so small that nobody should worry about it.  Just my opinions.

I further predict that you shouldn't worry about the dirtbags coming over from FA and other games.  Most of them will be deterred by the flight model.

Aloha Ed, and welcome. I think you'll see some familiar faces here.

What the hell, one more to keep it moving!
In my business we don't have to guess at what to charge.  Pricing is based on cost plus profit margin.  Get your spreadsheets out and let's figure out what this should cost and how much money could possibly be made then post your answers here including any expenses I haven't thought of.
Costs
X Humongous Servers
X T-1 Lines
Salaries (Assign to each employee what you would like to be paid for each job.)
Rents
Utilities
Sales Expenses
Operational Expenses
Return to investors
Corporate P-51
Corporate CHOG
Corporate shrink to deal with all this
etc. etc.
Calc out all expenses including additional hardware for growth in years 1,2,3,4,5 and project X number of paying customers in the same years to get your answers.

Beeg,

Don't worry about it. If you continue to talk about it the cheerleaders will simply light their pom poms and flame you for having the audacity to be critical of HTC in any way, real or imagined. It doesn't matter if you are upset or if you think something is not right. The rah rah crowd can't tolerate it and will line up to let you know you are unworthy to be critical.

Moooom???!!  When do we get to the last line of this thread, I'm tired.

*SHEESH!*
 Granted, 10 bucks is 10 Bucks, And better saved, than spent if it allows more flying time   But I've seen nothing from HiTech Creations thus far except an Outstanding Sim with minimal problems, considering the ever changing compatability issues ALONE!
  I hope they DO end up dropping the price. I'm sure it would attract more members. (It was nearly a reason for me not to signup).
But not at the expense of the quality I've grown so accustomed to.
  So, Untill I see something to REALLY worry about; I'm keeping the faith! (I don't think we'll be sorry)

SALUTE!
