Okay its done; I cancelled my account.
AH was my first on-line (flight)sim but you can be sure its not the last. I was here since January and I've really enjoyed first months here. When M-16 and Pz's came I was first who captured a field (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
(I was online about 14 hours then (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif))
First reason why I quit is I'm too tired to fight in arena full of Nikis.
I'm not saying their FM is wrong but it really is annoying to see that AH got plenty of planes but ppl wont use them...
Second reason is "Gang-Banging". When I saw two countries banging one I usually started my own war against the other "banger". It's quite easy way to get games playability better. Only bad thing was I died a lot...
Third reason is 19,95. It's been one month now but I havent see any news.
I'm not saying I'm not gonna come back; Everything is possible (I'm not gonna fly in arena full of Nikis...)
Guess I had to wait Il-2 and WWIIOnline...
For all ppl in JG2 when I was a member: Thanks for fun! It really was a pleasure to fly with you! <S>
Have fun and kill all Nikis you see around (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Sorry, but I just don't see it. Last 3 nights I've been on I've seen more Spits and 109s than Nikis, with F4Us, 190s and buffs together with the odd Macchi and La5 all mixed in. Just from my own PoV of course but I don't think my experience can be that unique in this respect...
Staga has 90 kills and has been killed 56 times.
Staga has 8 kills and has been killed 4 times against the N1K2.
Are things really so bad?

Fighting against numbers is something all countries experience from time to time. I don't think AH is any different now that it was from inception.
As for the third reason, it's been flogged to death though I can see why some are still upset.
But are you sure you're not just in a rut Staga? A series of bad nights leaving you more and more pissed off? I've been there before for sure. It's just that reasons 1 and 2 do not add up for me.

if you thought n1k2 is a pain now wait till it gets the additional 400rounds of ammo (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
it will be the fw190a5 of yesterversion for sure...
right under the chog as most dweebish (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

sorry to see you are going staga (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
I must say that if there is no price drop or something for us beta-till-now players i will also close my account.If i have to put a time frame on it it will be 2001 jan 1st.
I love AH but im sorry i got principles when it comes to money (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I would settle for an explanation as to why it is still $29.99 (if i feel its a valid one) and i will continue to play/pay.

Well...by my count..that's about 18 well known people to quit in the last month...and more due out. Then 1.05'll be out..y'all will come back...then quit cause of the niki's again... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

No offence, but I have never heard of you. Still, when 1.05 is out, and I have 200 more rounds in my Niki, please tell me your new callsign so I can hunt you. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Aint this a Gameplay Feedback Forum post anyway? (ala Niki Whine?)

Well, for me hunting n1k's with an inferior plane is a challenge. It's really gratifying to see a n1k burst in flames or even blow up after a good fight..
And when a n1k manages to kill me, I can always think: Oh well, that dweeb had an uberplane (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
But I agree on his point, its not much fun to see almost all players use the easyest ship in the whole game..
How about a plane limit? Players could choose only a certain percentage of certain type of planes, first come first served and replanes would have to wait untill a free ship would become available - or then fly something else.

MORE planes and instituting a RPS would solve a lot of peoples gripes. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

If HTC really doesnt see a pattern here I dont know where will they... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
Staga, keep in touch by email (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) You are a great guy, although you like Hakkinen (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

A pattern? Well I've seen about 5 or 6 people post 'I QUIT!!!' posts but there again I've seen about 30-40 new players in the MA over the last month. Okay, some won't stay but I've seen quite a few staying over the 2 week period.
Anyway, when the Navy arrives they'll be loads more players... then some may leave... then the next update more players... Now this is when I see a pattern!

PS If players really love this game then they just won't stay away... as your post shows!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Staga,
I think there are many who are waiting to see the direction AH will be taking in the near future and I'm confident we will see you back.
Best of luck and see you on WWIIOL <S>!
Horrido!

Creamo:
Once I shot your B-17 down in a A-8 without wingtips (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
I put the pic in JG2's priv.forum but I already cleaned AH-files from my ISP's server.
Good laugh though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Good luck to all of you and cya in other sims (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

SKurj has 13 kills and has been killed 7 times against the N1K2.
AKSKurj has 9 kills and has been killed 3 times against the N1K2.
Handle change part way through Tour 10...
I don't see what the problem is with the N1K2.. And I am in no way an expert at AH.

Warchild, zigrat, ram, staga...the list keeps growing.
Habicht might be on the way out too, and I know of others.
Something is amiss - it's not normlal attritiion. DUring the first year, how many old timer quit? It might be just the burnout point though.
Gonna miss you staga <S!>

I don`t think its game burnout,its more likely the staleness that comes from the same fights over and over.
We need more planes, <mid war please> and a RPS to force people out of the dweebC and Niki circle jerk. Unless people are forced to fly a variety of planes it will never change as people will fly the planes easiest to kill in.
Variety is the spice of life,stagnation is extinction.

and an explanation as to why the price has remained the same!
im hoping some kind of reduction is due (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And the list keeps growing... sigh.
You guys crack me up. If ya get a chance, watch "A Christmas Story" this holiday season. These whiny little kids here wanting AH to be just their way act just like poor old Ralphie.
(In case you didnt know, the movie is about Ralphie, a young boy growing up in the '40's, dreams of owning a Red Rider BB gun. He sets out to convince the world this is the perfect gift. But along the way, he runs into opposition from his parents, his teacher, and even good 'ol Santa Claus himself.)
Whats so whoopee funny, is when Ralphie gets punished and soap put in his mouth, he has these imaginative dreams where he shows up at his house blind, "It was Sooooap Poisioning!" showing his parents how poor old little Ralphie has it so bad, and if they only would have catered to his every need all would have been OK.
I cant help but think of these guys that quit are waiting for the community to drop to their knees begging them to come back. "It was Niki Poisoning!"
Lol...
You guys can't have a Dora either, you'll shoot your eye out!

Ram if what you say is true im getting pretty angry about this.Is this the main reason for others leaving?
I have trawled the BB trying to find more info about this and I am getting the impression HTC couldnt care less whether we come or go.All the talk of community of fliers is BS.The players efforts (eg forming squads and web pages etc)is what makes AH so good for me.Maybe a constant flow of people to try fly for a couple of months then leave is all they want?.Seems a pitty to me and im a little disapointed that they offer me no benefits even though ive been here since beta days.I hope HTC surprises me and shows me ive got the wrong end of the stick.
