I've been noticing the opposite in the off hours though. I logged on to a population of 40 two weeks ago which is probably the lowest I've ever seen.

We'll have to see if this keeps up.. It may be because of the cold weather across the nation or it could be that more people are coming back to the game.

I'd like to see more people in EW and MW.  Getting away from the P51D's, Spit16's, and Lgay 7's once in a while is nice.

MW has the best planeset. Problem is.... last night I logged into MW to see what is up. There were 7 knights, 2 rooks, 0 bish..... knights were hiting bish bases. I switched bish. Held them all off the base under attack for about 45 minutes before more bish signed on.

Yeah, I logged on just in time to help.  Sad thing is once there were more bish on nits started to hit rooks instead who still only had 2 on.

My concern is that the numbers are inflated due to the latest advertising campaign bringing in the two weekers.  I use the would concern because I wonder how many of those are going to stick.

^^^ I agree gents.  However, I have been monitoring the help channel lately in an effort to do just that.  What has been somewhat surprising to me is the number of new guys slinging the Alt F4 jokes around.
Title: Re: MA NUMBERS
Post by: infowars on February 13, 2012, 07:11:20 PM
ALT F4 is a right of passage or a hazing of sorts.  Two weekers who get offended with that little joke will never make it in the AH community.

I did hear though that alt f4 will soon pull up a menu with fuel trim settings so you can tune a little more horsepower outta your ride = )

If you are using a computer and don;t know what Alt-F4 does, be thankful you found out.  Even if you had to go through the terrible trauma of having to double click on the game icon an extra time.

You guys think people don't stay in the game because someone told them to press Alt-F4?  :lol

Alt-f4 was a rite of passage for me ,,,  I felt like I was an insider once it had happened to me, I now knew something about the game that someone else didn't!!!
I was not that proficient with computers so how could have known any different?
 now I look back and think,,"I have learned more about computers because of this game than any other reason",
It has helped me with almost every aspect of my daily life as far as using computers goes,, before I would have just went and bought another one,, now I just fix it,
I have also fixed most everyone in my families computers at least once  and saved most of them untold amounts of money !
The game  has its ups and downs, sometimes the game play sucks, other times it is as good as any game I could imagine, but I have made more friends here than I could ever have hoped for,  I have met people here who helped me in real life ,, I have helped others in the same manner, I have met more than a handful of players in person over the years and look forward to meeting others in the future!!!

My personal favorite was the guy that was new and wanted to know how to get rid of the cockpit art.  Alt-F4 certainly does work for that.

I'm not particularly fond of 'hazing', I think it doesn't make people feel particularly welcome.  That one did make me chuckle though.

You know they have, same with when I first joined the game someone flipped my joystick settings as a joke.

Ailerons were for up and down etc, threw me off for a second till he said jk flip them around (that or he was an idiot).

hitech if it's not too much trouble, can you make another one like that where it ask you if you are sure you want to hit the tree/ground, yes/no?  that would be greatly appreciated.

Only the guys that are married or ugly were in tonight.  At 10:30 PM CST, 387 ugly/married men who couldn't get dates on the easiest date night of the year were playing an online game.  The married guys have a pass on that...the single guys?  WTF?
