I think the Training Arena should be free of charge.

H2H is like a training arena, where you can get shot down.

why don't you and those 8+ buddies who want a free MMPOG environment chip in and get an account. then you can take turns using it.

Why?

Just come to H2H with us, we well take good care of you.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHACOUGHCOUGHG URRRUHHHHHHPOOO :lol

The TA is free of charge.
The trainers who help you give their time for virtually nothing.
Arena access costs 15$ a month. Thats all arena's all the time, and its a bargain.
Its bad enough in the TA with lots of 2 week wonders who don't plan on staying and have nothing to lose. Add a bunch more guys who don't pay to play and you'd have chaos.
50 cents a day, thats 1 soda, a candy bar a day. Thats less than a meal at McDonalds 3 times a month. 2 to 3 hours of work would make you enough to be able to play online. Thats really not that much to ask.

i suggested this a while ago, that it would help noobs get a little more time before they decided, but i think its good as it is. we already have all kinds of tards in there at the moment. guys who shout out with caps lock on, JOIN MY SQUAD NOW!!! rofl, and all the guys with numbers for names too lol.
it just wouldn't work right, and would lose HT money.
-
this is by far the cheapest form of entertainment available. furthermore you will make friends who do not borrow money, come by and drink your beer or ask to borrow your truck. I agree with Ghosth.

i once suggested that Friday Night Squad Ops should carry a charge of $2.95 for someone that only wants to participate in FSO. This meaning no MA, TA, or anything other then 10 hours spread over 3 fridays a month.

lol guys, its 15 bucks! A good bottle of booz costs 3-4 times more than the single monthly payment to HTC for unlimited entertainment.
Tightwads. :)

On a related note there was a guy in the MA last night, named 7names. He calls himself this because he's on his 7th name of exploiting the free 2 week trial. He said he already has his 8th name ready to go when his current trial expires and plans on playing forever without paying.
I understand the marketing concept behind the 2 week trial, especially for a game like AH with such a steep learning curve but...There has to be some way to prevent dead-beat leaches from sucking up bandwidth indefinately while not contributing financially to the development of the product. It's not as though this guy can't afford it, he's paying $55/month for other online games, he just isn't going to pay for Aces High while there is this way to circumvent doing so. He was quite proud of himself for being so 'smart' for getting away with playing for free while the rest of us 'suckers' pay to play...It made me want to puke...

LOL I think you got trolled big time. There is coading to prevent this.
-
I could drink away the $14.95 AH costs me in under 10 seconds (probably 5) at a bar... JUST SUBSCRIBE YA CHEAP BASTIDS. :noid
-
Shoot I work and i'm in high school and I could pay for my own account each month. Get a job ya lazy bums, or have mommy pay for it, like I do.
-
it just wouldn't work, people would just cram into the TA, people wouldn't subscribe, lots of problems, i just don't see it working. it's not plausable

Maybe, but I doubt it...He was saying all of this on country not 200. A troll would have gone to 200 with this, bigger audience.

yeah i do agree 15 bucks isnt much.. but if your gonna play for only 4 hours a month... why pay 15 bucks?
why buy a case of beer if your only gonna drink a can?
-
I think you guys have a drinking problem.:aok

You know a funny thing happens when you graduate from High School.
You start finding out if you want real entertainment, you need to pay for it.
Ok so you only fly 4 hours a month. 1 hour a week, ok. 14.95 $ divided by 4, =
3.74 an hour.
Hmmm Thats about the same rate as going to see a movie once a month.
Assumeing a 2 hour movie at 7$. Plus you'll pay extra for popcorn, etc.
Of course the analagy doesn't really hold up. If I could buy a pass at the theater, that let me see unlimited movies each month for only 15$. I think that would be a pretty sweet deal. Especially if the theatre never closed. Heck I might live there for a couple of weeks until I'd seen em all.
Granted your the only one who can decided if its worth while.
But I think your looking at it wrong.
The first can of beer costs you 15$. All the rest are free for the rest of the month.
How many would you drink? Its either worth it, or its not.

wasnt talking to you..
lol joking..
yeah i know .. just was hoping this argument was gonna come from you..
either way its a hit or miss. i choose not to deal with the extra 15 bucks.. i rather buy me a case of budlight with the 15 dollars.

AH could create a free training arena. Non paying trainees would not have access to the pay arenas. People could train or go H2H and decide if they want to pay the 15 bux.
The current TA could remain as is but restricted to paying customers that need to brush up on ACM that are already members.
-
there already *is* a free training arena.. it's called H2H...
man what a buncha freeloaders who want a MMOG on someone else's dime.

Seriously, don't even start. That just ends up being a flame war with HT going on a thread/account lock rampage. Might as well spare the trouble.
Seeing as I feel the overwhelming need to post in this thread (har har) I'll state that the TA should stay for the payers only. You already have guys that wait for the Trainer to leave to start stalking you with .303s. Imagine 3,000 of those guys, taking turns at the arena slots. Oh yes....

They don't? Memnon and MVJester gimmy my beer back!

Just pay the 15.00 per month or shut up and go away. When in the hell did did people think that every thing should be free.
pisses me off to no end.
Iam lucky if i get to play 4 or 5 hours a month, but I still pay HiTech each month and glad to do so, lest this form of entertainment goes away.
If you want free, go COAD your own damn game and leave us alone.
