Welcome to AH!
I hope that you will enjoy yourselves here. I never flew in AW, so I can't really comment on its apparent demise. All I can really say is that I am sorry your sim is closing its doors. On the other hand, you will find that AH is indeed a wonderful sim supported by a company that really does care about its product and community (despite the whines of a few here and there).
Anyways, sorry about AW, but glad you all are coming here. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks, Mathman... though I have been here for a while anyway, I have still been playing Air Warrior on a regular basis and am extremely sad to see it die. Thanks for making the incoming Air Warriors welcome... many of them still shocked and hurting from it's demise - I think there will be many more in coming weeks.
Oh, and yes there are quite a few "Gals" in Air Warrior, who I imagine will also be coming here - I'm one of them... ;)

Yup - welcome aboard guys. When AW for the mac died it really sucked. I kinda know how ya must feel. Despite this bbs stuff... no worries... all everyone's really interested in, ultimately, is pointing thier planes at other planes and blowing stuff up. So... the more planes, the better... right?

AW is still going - at the moment! But as Kesmai Studios have been closed and all the online staff that worked there laid off, there is just no future to it anymore. It is strongly rumoured (yet to be confirmed by EA.com) that the plug will be pulled on November 1st. If this is true, it will be a sad ending for Air Warrior. :(

hmmm, LONG LIVE ACES HIGH!!

You're one of the more welcoming souls here! Thanks, Mathman ... good to meetcha! :)

Yes sorry to hear that its dead
And your all welcome aboard :)

<S> AW LONG LIVE AH!
I will sure miss old AW. It was my first online sim. I was UNDERDOG on AW, AW2, and AW3. If any of the old AW NIGHTHAWKS are out there please yell at jimdandy (UNDOG). Sad to see AW die but good to see all the AW folks here <S>.
-
Mathman, you beat me to it!
Welcome former AWers!
Sorry to hear your game died...
(Actually, I am just trying to sound sympathetic because I am really delighted to have so many folks join our game who are not starting at ground-zero with online flight sims!, [not that there is anything wrong with true newbies :) ])
If you have never flown another online flight sim before, please have patience. New commands and a different feel may be discouraging at first, but hang in there. Your learning curve will literally be 100 fold of what it was when you were a true newbie. I am sure that within a week or month we will see a bunch of "newbies" who are regularly kicking our butts!
If some of us seem a bit unwelcoming, please don't take it personally,
Many of us just don't like to share our sheep!
"Honestly officer, I was just helping these sheep over the fence!"
<S> to whoever wrote that on the open channel today.

flossy... so far as i know there is only one other woman on AH. She is akdeja but she is a mean, bitter, man hating, lesbian. SW was dating her for a while but I think they broke up.

Could we just make an "ex AW" area on this board so that they can do their silly babble at each other there and type normaly everywhere else. Then people wont get offended by their sour grapes.

...and check the "Who Are You?" thread.
Please post on it or start your own post to tell us who you are.

Glob,
As of Friday afternoon, I hadn't received an e-mail requesting a handle change. If you sent it over the weekend, we wouldn't see it until Monday morning.
Please forward your account information to either billing@hitechcreations.com or joannc@hitechcreations.com, I will be sure to take care of that for you ASAP.
I apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused.
Welcome to Aces High!
Regards,
Yankee

I'll try not to get offended by yours, Pongo! Pongo? That suggests someone smelly (ie who pongs - smells) to me! ROFLMAO!
J/K mate... please don't take it seriously! ;)

Already did! ;)

Thank you for the welcome!!!
We are right now a sad bunch, but come here full of hope! We are tired - but will reinvigorate. We are not a clique, yet can assimilate and retain an identity at the same time.
Remember..... Dale is an AW'er (one an AWer ALWAYS an AW'er) Rumor has it he stole some of our sheep when he left so long ago.
We have come to get them back!!! <grin>

Descremination by association. Where is that big community thing? If you dont like to read it, you dont have to. BLAH!

WELCOME to all the people who want to fly our unfriendly skies!
Flossy, good to see you are active on the boards, I enjoyed shooting you down the other day ;) j/k it was funny though that I ran into your buffs and goons all the time.
Guys, please try to settle into the community and remember that people will react like Pongo did (and I have as well) if you try to assert yourselves too quickly. Give everyone a chance to get to know you and I'm sure you'll have a blast.
Cya's up :D

Not true. You head your topics with it.
Historical accuracy rolls eyes. ...everyone has to read it.

Oh, I have met one or two others so far, and I think there may be more than you realise! There are certainly going to be more though as more Air Warriors make there way over here. :)

Your welcome was much appreciated, Mathman, and I am sure most messages in this thread reflect that. It was an existing player who came into the thread and made unkind comments about us, and naturally there was some reaction! Even so, I think the reaction was fairly light-hearted and filled with humour (albeit a little strange in some cases! <g> ), and no great harm was done.
Thanks for the welcome and please don't feel offended by some of the replies, none of the bad comments were aimed at you! :)

Zeb! Nice to see you again <S>
It's nice to see such a welcome for us AW refugees in here. Makes us feel wanted for a change <VBG>
Even though I'm sad about the impending demise of our beloved Air Warrior, the fact that there are so many familiar and friendly faces in Aces High has tempered some of the sorrow. I'm even looking forward to re-learning how to "fly" in here.
