I know there are many that I've played against in the H2H arenas that said they'd subscribe if the rate were lower. Well, hopefully we'll see them in the Main Arena tonight :)
This is great news. I've got 4 or 5 pals here in town that liked the game but couldn't see spending that much on it. Same with many of the guys on the BD-5 Mailing List I'm on. I've already sent out a zillion messages and ICQs to my pals alerting them to the rate change.
FRESH MEAT IN THE MAIN ARENA :)

! Help advertise it. Go to Combatsim.com, the SimHQ webboards, usenets comp.sys.ibm.flight-sims and any other places you can think of.
Put the word out like Jay Litman did (does) with Warbirds, like the AW people do and Fighter Ace folks.
Get active all. Spam the net. :)

Westy,
I'm already loading my Lancaster with Aces High propoganda :) Care to man the guns?
:D

agw.dogfighter.com already got hit by Jochen.
Apparently they aren't too pleased, envious or simply jealous..
Either way, don't wade in the waters over there unless you like swimming with pirahna's.

SWulfe, do you remember the AW boards when CK hit the street? AGW sounds just like that AW board did in 1995, heheh!
(Edit: actually, I think it was a AW newsgroup, mind is fading...)

I already was in WWIIOL's board in OffTopic section. Go there and bump it up if needed :D
-
Yup, back then I spent more of my time reading & posting on the CK boards on CompuServe (like I do here ;) ) than I did posting on the AW boards. But reading the AW boards periodically reminded me of someone mixing Me-163 rocket fuel.
;)
It's funny though, what they don't understand they assume is easy. Combat Trim, while I don't use it- I'm sure I've fought people who do and I'm sure I shot them down too, manually trimming for dogfights is just better. :)
"Auto-takeoff"- LOL! Okay, use if you want, don't use it if you don't want to. It ain't that hard, I'm not going to say "oh you easy mode dweeb" because someone has take off.
WB is the only game I know with a true easy mode-- ACA!!

and who was it that said they were happy with $30 and are willing to pay more?
i think they should pay $40 now dont you think?
well im glad its finally come down to a much more reasonable price.Now i can afford to keep the account even when im not playing it as much.A good move HTC <S>
-
I feel like im going to get a thrasing in MA soon as i enter. I have the 205 down preety well. 300mph cruise speed, it can't turn ver well, excellent BnZ and zoom climb is good.
I remember seeing a K/D ratio of the 4 Stormo flying 205 and it was like 800/200 i remember one. Would love to join there squad im italian but don't live there: squad time.
:(
Maybe cause in H2H most is FFA and ppl fly uber temp and f4uC, not to mention the nik and spit. Then again i have killed them all only good that eludes a kill from he is la7 and yak.
-
Dont be too excited about some of the H2H guys getting a subscription due to they will be easy prey. :) Many are far from "fresh meat". Alot of those H2H pilots are great sticks and also great sports.
Playing in a H2H FFA arena builds up the "pucker" factor and give one a great SA outlook.
Alot of the sim pilots I flew against in H2H would be a great addition to the subscribers arenas.
I hope alot sign up.
Cool!! :cool:

We're spreading the word across the gloobe!!!!!

-
I'm all for some fresh meat!!..Muhaha!
-
Don't worry about it Pdog, we're all a bunch of dweebs and I'm sure you'll do just fine...especially after flying H2H for a while! The dynamics might be a little different in MA, but as soon as you find a nice furball I'm sure you'll feel right at home! :)

EA has removed this post. They must feel threatened by it. I only stated that AH was charging 14.95 month. nothing more, nothing less. <sigh> Spammers man your battlestations

Hell, I might even subscribe.
(took a break for the summer. cost reductions, etc.).
-
Well I took a break for cost reduction reasons and I have cleared it with the
CFO/CPO here at the house so I know I will be back in tonight. :D
I also know of several other members of LuftJagerKorps (LJK) that are renewing subs for this. CYA fellas in the skies!
-
Smartest move AH made since Beta tour 1,, IMO.
I think the 33rd Will arise from the ashs.

Two people in the Falcon 4 division of our squad are gonna be signing up, maybe as early as tonight.
This cost reduction is INCREDIBLE news!
HTC have done the market research and the math, and we can extrapolate from that. By halving the price, they are anticipating at *least* double the number of subscribers. No way around that.
TWICE the ammount of flyers in the MA.
TWICE the ammount of flyers in the CT.
TWICE as many squadrons.
TWICE the ammount of flyers for the people in the off-hours.
TWICE the number of people in the TODs, Snapshots and Scenarios.
This means so much more than any lessening of the price to me personally. AH is gonna be huge.
Kudos HTC!

I'm one that said I was happy paying $30 Hazed. That doesn't mean I'm not happier paying $15, just means I felt it was worth it at $30 and now I'm getting a steal.

Yeah I know , I know , I know you told me so. I'm coming back jeez I hate you guys!
