Title: Before AH2...
Post by: Sway on January 03, 2004, 08:03:01 AM

We going to have any free time period in MA for poor people like myself to get in before saying goodbye to the game, because I know my PC can't handle it. :confused:

hmmmm. I can't see that happening.

Aside from being very hard to control, it would be pretty much cost prohibitive to HTC. (Just my opinion). It is after all, a bonafide business and not a club.  If free time is given HTC still has to cover its overhead somehow.

I too will have to hang up my guns for a time after AHII goes gold. But to be fair, I have been getting a pretty fair bang for my buck the last 2 years, and when I can afford to upgrade to the standard required to play I will be back.  HTC has made a customer here.

And if I have to unsubscribe for a few months (at $20.00 cdn/mnth) I can put that fee into rebuilding my scotch stock, which has been horribly pillaged in the last 2 years:D

Cheers

AHII will probably cost me a new graphics card, although my machine is fairly powerful, so I see your point.
Keeping on with old AH might however pull to few customers into AHII, so I wonder what HTC will do. Maybe carry on with old AH for some time, keeping it more/equally  expensive than AHII?

Man, you guys are some cheap SOB's.  Shell out the $50 for a new card, and maybe another $50 for some more ram.  It's not that big a deal.
Other new games are waaaaay more harsh on systems that AH2.

What type of graphics card am I going to get for $50?

I also can't see any free time happening... I don't know how it could be done.  Until the end, I suppose we should just enjoy the ride where you are, in the MA or H2H.

But how about a little advance notice of the change. When a date is really set... So that those of us who are not in a position to upgrade right away can cancel our accounts at the end of a billing cycle.

Cheers,
