I started with Aces High almost on the first day the servers opened. I moved over from Air Warrior to "Confirmed Kill" when HiTech started up. Then to Warbirds, then to Aces High.
Several years ago, I got badly burned out and stopped flying. After several months, I eventually closed the account.
On a whim today, I decided, "What the hell, lets go look again. See what has changed and possibly start flying again."
I had figured that after this long (somewhere between 2 and 4 years) that I would at least get a 2 weeks free trial again.
But nope, they system decided "Hey, this guy was once paying us, he should IMMEDIATELY start paying again." Just because I was honest and put in my real name and address.
Come on HTC, you should flush the buffers once in a while so that your old customers can get a new taste and maybe come back.

Hmm, I may have been a little hasty there. I now have a vague memory of doing this sometime last year (2008/2009). Maybe it hasn't been THAT long since I got a free 2 weeks.

When AH came out I was still flying Warbirds and continued for a couple years before I finally made the switch to AH. In that time I did a couple two week trials, usually at the time of a new, big release. I'd get the same message, but I would just email them and tell them that I am interested in checking out the new features. Each time they gave me a new trial. So my recommendation would be instead of posting here, trying asking them politely via email. Hopefully they will be as accommodating to you as they were to me. :salute
Not so sure after that post though..... ;)
-
U should just call them up and see if you can get another 2 week trial.

You're an adult, give em the !oscar$ing 15 bucks. That doesn't even cover 2 meals at Arbys

I bet you'll still fly to the wrong base every once in a while, lol

Just your old age getting the best of ya. :old:

Played AW in 94 until end then came here to Aces with much of our group from the MAW. Don't remember the free two weeks then but played until Aug 99 came back in early 2000 for the 2 weeks, left in 2002 came back in 2007 got another two weeks and left in 2009.
I changed my address a few times in those years and possibly used different cred cards and certainly new computers which may have helped me get the two weeks.
I expect on my return I will get another two weeks and spend 2 more years playing before burnt.
Whats this F3 mode in the main BS?? Is that whats going on now?? If so, chances are my burn rate may be increased. I also heard about map and capture complaints within the community. Working as a team is top on my AH agenda and If thats been whacked a bit I can see myself only playing for a couple months to get my fix on before retiring the game all over again.

There is nothing new, there has nothing changed regarding F3 and the main.

Wow...another long time BK has come out of the wood work. If you shoot off an email to HTC, I'm sure they might give you another free trial to check out the new changes.
ack-ack

how old are you? and what do you think of the game after returning? :old:
-
If I recall correctly Ouch is 76. That still makes him 23 years younger than laz. And 1 of the younger bks in general.

Oh heck just pay the $14.95 and be done with it. Where else are you going to find this much entertainment for less the 15 bucks a month. It cost $10.00 to go to a 2 hr move now days. LOL

The BK's are up to something :t

No, that one was Megadud.

I wish someone would make a list for me. I don't want to offend any of them.

Hey, Ouch, come play in the upcoming scenario Battle Over Germany. It will re-invigorate your AH mojo. :aok
I'd be very happy to have you fly with me in III/JG1.

Trust me, you don't offend us. We're all quite flattered that you continue to form some emotional connection to a squad with a couple of active players left in it.
I'd say the feeling was mutual, but everyone knows that Drex is dead and emotionless inside.

Naw my friend.... offend away. Like I said we're old, we can't hear you on vox. Plus the text is to small to read. I think they should have the option to change the font to 50 myself.

Watch it old man. You keep sitting there reading all this and you might break a hip. You know drex wont come see you on jello night at the home. And dedalot is my new bingo partner. So you are just out of luck.

It's just a joke guise. I need something to write about so I can pad my post count and give my life meaning.
Edit: I forgot to say amen and it is my understanding that you say amen after u address gods.
Amen.

My wife claims it's selective hearing, but selective seeing...? :old:

Wow, I think History just came to life. Nice to see so many familiar posters.

Unfortunately, that's not the regular pricing -- alas. (Just had Arby's with wife Traci a few days ago. Mmmmm. And potato cakes, which are really the best giant tater tots of all time.)

Holy crap! I didn't mean to empty the retirement home with that post! And I'm not 76.
I just have a youthful demeanor.
The original post was not so much a complaint that I have to spend $15 to try it out again, but rather that HT might hook back in some more old timers if they would flush the system every once in a while so that the older guys who MIGHT balk at paying it would try it anyway.
(Oh and to the guys who were suggestion that I call HTC. Umm, at 8:00pm. Friday. Christmas eve? :t Somehow I don't think HT would have liked that if I found his home number. :mad: :-)
Now, excuse me, I think I pulled a hamstring trying to pick up my joystick and the nurse says it's time for my sponge bath.
Say hello to Elvis for me, will you?
Ouch out (of his mind)
-
Nurse sponge baths....
you guys get all the perks.

No, that one was Megadud.
I thought it was Grits?
