Talk me into subscribing...

Reasons which have made me give up playing online games in the past:

• Verbal abuse
• Kill Stealing
• Runwaying

Are such things a problem within the game or at an acceptable level? What's the general atmosphere like between gameplayers? Is there a game always available with enough competitors?

I'm asking not just for myself, but on behalf of several others who may be willing to subscribe to the game.

All replies recieve a free Biggles Scarf and a free Smug Smile. [/B]

is this the OCUK don? :D ;)

The Game is great, and well worth the £9.30-9.50 per month

Piss off. You sound like a right pain in the arse, and one who wants the game to be neatly paved in front of him. Why should we persuade you to subscribe? What's in it for us? What's in it for HTC, other than a possible $14.95/month (which you might whine about) plus further BBS whining?

You want to play? Subscribe already. Just don't make us wipe your arse while you're doing it.

If you are that worried about these things, don't waste your time playing AH.  This stuff happens all the time.  Many here probably won't admit that it happens, but it does.

As has been pointed out by others, try it out.  If you like it, stay.  If you don't, no harm done.

Most people aren't *******s here.  Unfortunately, like just about every other segment of society at large, the *******s are the more vocal ones.

I have found, like most people playing AH, the above issues are easy to ignore.  Sometimes it gets frustrating, but all you have to do is squelch the tards and up from a different field.

Hope you make the decision to check it out and end up liking it.  If not, at least you gave it a look.

I've dealt with this type before. They are the sort who come into a shop, whine about everything, expect you to grovel to them in an attempt to sell something, and then leave the shop empty-handed. Not worth the trouble, IYAM.

I say again - piss off.

[nopoop]

Beet that's downright outta character for you.

I like it !!



( The above is one of those smiley face things that I detest, but I figured, Beet's outta character so I'll do my part )

at last i now see why theres only 300-400 active players here now... because a select few of the current people are stunninghunks and label people before they even know them.....telling people not to subscribe etc is just bad...

[vorticon]

beetle you know its not a good thing to scare away potential customers


verbal abuse:some but anything real bad and you can get am banned

killstealing:some...


runwaying:fact of life...deal with it


from what ive seen of the other flight sim communitys this one is the mildest...anyone being an ******* is essentially froshing you...ignore em and in a month you wont be bothered much

[Devourer]

Ive been playing AH for almost 2 years now and I have never had a problem with verbal abuse. Yes, ive seen it happen over ch. 1 many times but i guess most of the time its just people who are looking for trouble. I play by the rules and so far it has worked well for me.

Another thing that amazes me about AH is that it is the only game i have played that hasnt bored me. I always find variety in the gameplay, and after almost 2 years, I still learn something new every week.

Thats just my personal experience.

[acepilot2]

Oh boy this is a good laugh...people driving away the new guy.


Seriously though, go play any other online game like (other than a flight sim) and everyone is kinda...here is an example of stuff i hear in other games:

Person kills me:

y0 do0d i ownzzzz u!!!!  I am so 1337!   you suck you no0b! hahahahaha nooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbb!!!!!  i am so ko0l so d0nt even try messing with the 1337 d0od!!!!!

I kill him-

how did that no0b kill me?!?!?!?!? I amz going to killl him!!!!!!!! How could someone kill me!?!?!??!?!!?!?!?! I am so 1337!!!!!!

Now just add a bunch of swears and really bad stuff I do not want to post here an you have an idea of some other games...

My point is this game is pretty mild, there are jerks here an there, but its fine.

THAT'S TWO TIMES IN ONE THREAD !!!

You need help. There is an organization that can assist you.

Overlag you really need to go HERE

You can overcome it with this group..

[Cooley]

You mean 3,000 to 4,000 active i think

[beet1e]

smacks of "Flying Duck Sitting Swan" to me - and will probably yield as much revenue to HTC.

[Toad]

Yeah, funny how that FDSS guy used to put "erm" in his posts, like "erm, no".

Know anyone else that does that?
