Title: Where Did Everybody Go?
Post by: Full Metal Jug on April 30, 2012, 05:47:48 PM
I'm just wondering where everybody has went of to. Are they playing a diffrent game now or what? Three years ago I flew on AH, now 90% of the people I know are gone. Is there a free version of AH I didn't hear of?

Actually everybody online knew that you had some bad personal hygiene and nobody wanted to be in the arena with ya because the smell was just too bad. :eek:  Ya just might wanna freshen up a bit before entering the MA for a while!


All the Best...

    Jay

ps.. Just kidding Dude as I have lost most of my sense of smell due to massive skull fracture in 1995.

Been around since '06, and never heard of you...  :lol

New big names have replaced old big names, but there are still a few long timers around.  The AK's likely average +10 years in the game...

Yeah I flew under a diffrent name, I don't really recall the name though. Also, who is Midway? Is he an eccentric troll, or is he the best pilot ever? Everybody speaks of him.

I come back once or twice a year, or at least try to, but get bored quickly. There really hasn't been a plane that I would like and use added to latewar since the spit16 and p47m. They keep adding these bombers, which I don't like to fly, or planes that are more for SEA or the other arenas which don't get used very often or have a very low population. I will probably continue to keep coming back from time to time, but tbh unless more late-war FIGHTERS are added the I can't see myself getting back into the game for more than a couple weeks at a time. Sucks, because I love the game and community, which is why I generally keep my sub active even when I'm not playing, but the last couple years I've found myself letting it lapse more and more. AH2 is a game I would like to see stay around forever, it's one of the last online games that isn't totally infested by the trolly 4chan/somethingawful mindset, but hangar queens are only fun for a very limited amount of time.

Quite a few have died in the real world. Still many old names around.

Most all the fliers are still here. The GV types might have moved on.

Many are doing the real life thing.

If that is fact, which I'm in no position to argue with our class chart master, then possibly the ones that moved over like the setup there. I tried the game quite some time ago and found it to be too arcade like. It seems it would appeal to folks that enjoy PS and Xboxes.

I track that by compiling the times played in each mode for all active player during each tour. And since the Gv changes in AH, the vehicle share went up steadily. I'm very curious if that will continue this way.

IMHO, GV'ing in AH and in WOT is so different that it's not a direct competition as far AHs the ground war goes... it's more like 2 different games just competing for a gamers attention and play time.
Many that went from AH to WOT would probably had left or drastically reduced their time in AH anyway, because that's just the way it goes and always went. Players getting bored and leaving after some time is the rule, not the exeption. But again: That's just my subjective opinion. ;)

Yup, as soon as they re did the gv's and the aiming system I went to that for a while.

Giving away everything for free is a great idea! 
Hows about you work for free from now on?  Makes as much sense as your idea, doesn't it?

If you can not find (planes) you enjoy flying on AH then maybe a WWII fighter sim is not for you.

No kidding. This sim has more flyable aircraft with the ability to shoot other planes down than anything else I can think of.

Interesting to note the big GV change a year or two ago, where the AH tank combat model was shifted "almost" entirely to a more WoT style format.  HTC is not averse to being intelligently influenced by the success of others game designs.

Who is this "we" you talk about.....that a pinky mouse in your pocket? You will need to play for half a dozen+ more years before you catch up to $$$ I have put into the game.  I like to think I financed a small part of HTs RV.  WoT is only free for the parasites.
