Title: Aces High Classic
Post by: Blixen on July 24, 2005, 03:54:32 PM
since the ct is dead most of the time ...never more than 20 ive ever seen in there so it dead to me
why not run aces high 1 as a suttle passtime a free fly if ya will
no scores etc.
just a place were ole timers can play the game that started it all

i choose to delete ct because
1 its dead
2 waste of server memory
3 we have sea for special battles already
so in my eyes ct is pointless
i personaly would love to fly ah1 once in awhile dont need updates either just run the  last version
i myself still play european air war .....lol
well im sure ill get flame from jg54 but im expecting it cuz they the only 1 whom uses it
just my 2 cents
  what ur thoughts?
:cool:

My thoughts are that there is still a group that plays the CT.  You do not seem to be among us.  We'd love to have you.

Otherwise, why are you playing the dog in the manger?

Guess you dont know much about the CT then do you.


btw if you want to delete an arena think you might want to start with the DA. Atlease the CT has fights in it all the DA is, is just a vulch/dweeb/spitfest. I havent seen a "duel" in there in ages.

Like I said before you know nothing about the CT and is shows. SEA is for missions. CT is for histoical game play around the clock and if you play the CT then a thing you do sometimes to get a fight in there is go in go afk and go eat or something and check back every few mins. When other CT members see someones in there they go check it out. Then more ppl come in and after a while you have 10-15 ppl in there and thats all you need to have a good fight. CT is for fun historical dogfights not big MA hords or huge furballs. Some of the best fights ever were in the ct with less then 5 ppl on. So dont worry about if the CT has low numbers because most of us like it that way. CT is like a small town where everyone knows eachother, we may not agree on everything but we like fighting agenst eachother all the time. You fly agenst the same ppl you know who your fighting in the first min. of a fight.

Close off the MA and BMA for a night and you'll see people doing CT all the time.

Hijacker he may be but at least he isnt using personal attacks.  I predict your thread will be closed by tomrrow morning for "flame bait" (you even said at the beginning you were waiting for it), and then you started with the personal attacks.  Your criticism has been noted.  If you really feel its a good idea and want to avoid a flame war, why didnt you just email the idea to HT or Pyro?  Looks to me like you just wanted to stir up trouble, not help.

AH1 is dead and gone.
AH2 is much better.

Why would anybody want to go back to AH1 ?

As for EAW yes it was a fun game, but i left it to fly AH in beta because i wanted a new challenge.

Guess your into the nostalgia thing more than most.

However it would be wise to not wear shorts to work carrying a lunchbox containing an apple for teacher, that may stretch the nostalgia theme a bit too much :D

A little story...

There are plenty of systems out there that can't run AH2. And, when AH1 was shut down, I offered to host it on my servers, charge the $14.95 a month and split it with HT. No support, no source code, just host the game so lesser systems could still play.

The basic reply I got was a purchase price for the game and I couldn't afford even a tenth of what was wanted.

Moral of the story.... Kiss AH1 goodbye, it ain't happening.

You guys just don't understand the CT. I don't go there much anymore but I used to all the time, and from experience I can tell you that...

When you log on and see only 8 people in there that means there is a 4 v 4 slugfest going on between the 2 closest bases, and like mentioned above some awsome fights have happend with less people.

The next time you see a few guys in the CT fly in there for a while I'm positive you will have a good time.:aok

Ah1 is dead, its been dead. Its going to STAY dead. Its NOT going to get undead.

I suspect that what your asking for blixen is impossible. That its not possible to run them both on the same server code.

So then your talking about putting up a brand new server, for how many people?
6, 12, maybe 30 at tops?

Sorry but its not viable.

You want to fly AH1, talk to ht, maybe he'll sell you the source code & the server software. You can put up your own server.

But it would be a LOT cheaper to just get a decent computer & play AH2.

I think you would have saved the headache if you just asked for them to add a new arena.  What makes you think that one would have to be deleted anyways?

Ummm.....where in my post did I say anything about how well your computer could or could not play AH2?  Guess with that many posts bashing your idea, they must have blended together.

No offense meant (not much anyway), but you start out a thread KNOWING you are going to get people upset, but obviously dont care.  No sensitivity to the feelings of the guys who DO play in the CT.  Then you throw out a mild personal attack with the "dork" thing.  Which given the level of tempers already, just proved to me that you were doing nothing but trying to stir the pot and get people ticked off.  Either that or you have no common sense at all.  Now its "oh, I wasnt trying to insult anyone."  Get off it.  You are welcome to have all the dreams or ideas you like, and even share them here on the BBS.  Most folks try to introduce their ideas in a pleasant manner, and actually look for ways to improve their idea to make it happen.  Its not so much your ideas that are bad, its your manners.  Oh here.............lol  That makes it all better right?  Or a smiley?  :)  Now I'm just joking no matter how offensive I might be.  Right?

Bah.
