Title: This game
Post by: Tom5572 on August 29, 2008, 09:06:11 PM

This game is awesome but it is the people who you fly and fight against / with that brings the best sense of being in an actual fight.  I know when I come up against some one like b4buster, wingzero, lute, paws (to name a few) my heart races, my shoulders tense.  I know I am in a fight.  Though this is not real combat and they are not shooting real bullets, it is the closest I have found to that.  I have done my best to get others interested, I have talked about the experience of that first air-to-air kill and the rush of knowing I beat a person, not a machine.  Freebies and the like would serve to increase the player base, but at what cost?  I want to see this game continue and to thrive but not at the expense of what we already have. 

Just my two cents.

Can you elaborate on what you mean here?

  In a previous post some one mentioned a thirty day trial membership should a person purchase the game.  We have a two week free trial now, so during the summer we have an abundance of two week squeakers.  In my mind, two weeks is long enough to know if you are going to be addicted (I was hooked on the first day). 
  I like the quality of most of the players we have now.  The new up-and-comers as well as the veterans.  That was what i was trying to get at.

If Hitech would just buy me a car, they could deck it out in a full on, Aces High II advertising!!! I drive all over Houston and go to college, I'm sure that'd be some good exposure.   :D
