oh and theres the .join option .... hmmm now i get to watch myself fly on my other pc .... i'm now almost invincable ... If any of you have tried this you know what i mean ...

oh with my freeloaders account i can easily spy on the other country's chat ,missions plans ect .... duh my name is Candi and im a spy ..... hell the bish's dont have to even pay for their spy/stat stacker.

Really stupid idea you guys have going here .... sorry to burst your bubble but .... well it opens up a world of even more cheating then there is now.

noone say they can man gun

you have 2 PCs one next to secound, wow i not have it. 80-90% peoples not hve it too as i think

Get score killing yourself? lame way, thats not increse skills and not build your name. Who care about lamers score
Spying? lol what for? somone care about that?
you write like you allready try all this dirty things, did you?

Sure we can do the multiple accounts now, but they cost money, which is a huge deterrent.  Remove that though....

Think about it!!!

I tried the .join once last year ... not in the main though just to see what it was like .... and discovered something about the game ... the mrs roo was playing in the game at the time .... thats how i discovered it ... hell I had 3 pc's lined up next to each other once.  And theres 4 at work lined up if i really want to do that ...

Ive never tried to stack my score because i dont really care about that myself ... i look at it to check out my gunnery and thats about it...

its better to leave the freeloaders in there own arena ... not the main . letting the newbies come in to the big taste of it is great ...

but as SKurj just said ...

if you have couple pc's its not problem to use fresh account every 2 weeks;) its no diference ghost disc is enough or know what file/record you should delete from your pc

and i bet, you have no idea how to deal with somone who do it;)
buecose if HTC block IP for every user who allready have his  2 weeks away, will have less customers. Som peoples  have not same ip all the time
I use 2 or 3 trials before i start pay.


Separated arena for trial or for those peoples who have expired trial will not work, you have h2h now and if HTC do it , i can say welcom in WB world;)

trial have 2 weeks, mostly noone of noobs is able to see many good things in AH. Like scenarions, Sops, snapshots, even not see many big missions

is not better to allow them fly transport planes and belive thay use this for good reason, then see evil all around?

[SKurj]

Ramzey I was willing to pay after my first week! let alone two...

I did do 2 trials as I was unemployed at the time, but thats where it ended.  3 months later I was employed, I mailed my first money order.  Been paying ever since...

(that was almost exactly 3 yrs ago)

The guy that has paid for ah and enjoyed it ISN'T going to want to all of a sudden fly goons because he can't afford the game.   He'll fly H2H or no AH at all.

The noobs who got to fire guns for 2 weeks... as soon as they are limited to goons will say "This sucks!"   Of course 95% of the noobs who play for 2 weeks don't subscribe, and never planned to.  There are a few who play for 2 weeks and really want to subscribe but cannot, are they gonna be satisfied dying in goons all the time?  I think not, and in the end the frustration of doing so may turn em off the game altogether.

ive done 3 trials in 3 years .... each time on a new pc... along with subscribing to the main .... I brought 20 plus players overhere from FA2 when it died (my squadron had 70 players in it)... there is still some of them subed to the main ... Ive shown the game to customers that hang out at my work .... ( i work in a race car chassis /welding shop / and a machine shop near the  Boeing aircraft plant)Hell while machining parts i can play AH all day if i want at work.

Ive got 10 friends playing il2 fb that are asking me daily if AH2 is out yet ....

If a newbie shows enough interest in the game i'll give them my time and instruction ...  so I do believe ive given enough of my self to pay for the 3 trials 100 times by now ... if i want to play with the workings of the game / to learn more about it / ask questions/ make comments / tell my opinion / I know ive earned a right to by now .


Ive seen what happens with freebies in a online sim befor and it wasnt pritty or fair to the company that runs/maintains/or keeps us happy and enjoying the game.

now a fresh trial for everyone would be nice in AH2 ...

  I do Like ya Ramsey ... its just this idea of freeloaders in the main isnt really a good idea .. even if they   are just limited to gv's and guns. (they need to play alittle to really appreciate a great game)

Ok whine mode off..... Sorry guys ....had to pull a HiTech.... darn the stress ... (wonder if i can get a pizza bribe too  ???)

I still think its a good idea..........

The multi account / cheating / spying stuff is  MA type paranoia IMO.
 

If the only thing a freebie can do is drop drunks, supply fields and vehicles and fire his little M3 turret guns.............. seems OK to me.

If it was limited only to C47's its still a good idea.........

Sure its possible he/they could spy.............

Its possible they could pump up another account by killing loads of C47's from the freebie account. It would look sort of obvious on the stats.........

Many of us have multiple accounts in the same household ........ "cheating" just is not worth the trouble it requirs

[Roscoroo]

oh well ...  it wont happen anyway.... you guys can beg for the free spy accounts all ya want .....next thing you know you'll want them to run the cv's too.....(theres to many multible pc house holds these days) paranoid i think not ...its just a fact and i dont want to see this game ruined like FA was.
 im done with this discussion.

[vorticon]

wow...this has to be the first time this sorta thing has been brought up by a paying customer (who i remember shooting down a lot of those n00b hth loosers ideas similar to this)


wont happen dont want it stop wasting valuable bandwith and storage space...bu bye

[ramzey]

ohhhhhh, its just idea, did not BB is used to discuss things like that?
and not all ideas are good or good enough
I not cheat , so i not think in this categories like spying or something else.
Anyway its something diferent then 32 players h2h idea or many else, whichone  try to enforce on my style of playing.

[Roscoroo]

well it is sort of a good idea ... but it would have to be moderated constantly .... thats the biggest problem with it ... (now you have to get guys that are trustful and skilled in human relations/gameplay to moderate 24 hours aday)

or as i said it will turn sour by the dweebs that exploit  its cheating/spying ect... advantages ...

thats what ive been trying to present here ....


And yes this is a BBS just to discuss ... argue this kinda stuff ...

Restrict free players from the Map room, and therefore cannot report on Mission status.

Spies existed in the real world. Call it "realism".  -- Deal with it.


As for free accounts, bring it on.
