As Barnum (or Lincoln or Somebody said), you can't please everyone all the time.
Sorry to lose good players, but agree with Eagler and Creamo sentiments that somehow Aces High is so good it deserves to be supported -- at least by True Believers -- even when not played as much.
I've been same way lately -- have not been playing much. Don't know why. Maybe it's the endless anticipation of II after all these months of no new toys.
Hardest thing for HiTech and crew is to keep excelling. Every accomplishment becomes a new minimum expectation. Just human nature, I guess.
At any rate, $15 a month for this global state of the art WWII combat flight simulator is reasonable tribute, in my opinion. It would be a fantastic game even if it were just introduced as is, and its possibilities are still limited mostly by our own imaginations, not the game designers'.
It used to cost $13 an HOUR just to fly stick planes with the first version of Air Warrior via local long distance GEnie phone modem. I always play at least a couple hours of Aces High every month -- such a bargain!
And this bulletin board is a terrific serendipitous resource of some of the finest (and sometimes bizarre) computer minds anywhere (e.g., early warning and advice on latest viruses).
So color me content -- but eagerly waiting for Aces High II like everyone else.
