Post by: TequilaChaser on October 23, 2019, 09:02:12 PM
if the 35 people that were reading the boards/forum was playing the game instead, I bet the numbers would be better.....

God knows I wish I could physically get up if only for 30 minutes.....to fly a couple/few sorties....

Just putting it down how I view it......

Yeah, I wanna play too but my kids sometimes hijack all my game playing plans. Some want to play Rust. Sometimes we shoot hoops. Others we play BF-V.   :furious

And then my wife demands some of my quality time too.  :x

What’s left? Well, sleep. And the forums.  :D

Forum Worrior Online is the best game.
The arena is something to do so you can make a thread about it.

hehe, good point TC, but I rarely play even in the AvA these days, and I really miss Thursday Night Tank fights!
I keep my head down working on terrains while doing a driveby of the forums when my wrists give out, else I'm documenting how these things are done, or trying to figure out how to attract new players.

I'm about to launch a persistent, updated version of H2H on a custom terrain for new players. Wish me and HTC luck. I got tired of people who didn't bother to learn what HTC was doing to make subscribing easier and more appealing.
I've thought for a long time that the missing bit was the old H2H free arenas. I'm willing to build one and keep it running 24/7 for a couple of months to see if the old magic returns. I think my time is better spent in here then in the MA, sorry.

 :cheers:

I'd love to play again. There's some great people n the game, but the game has changed..and not for the better IMO.  :noid My computer wore out yrs ago and I sold all my stick and rudder stuff. Several of my AcesHigh war buddies are passed away. I probably miss Heeler the most. And sawing off spitfire wings with 8 .50 cals. :rock Maybe again one day, but right now I'm too busy and am hoping for some game changes too I guess.

See.... it is statements like this that are the reason I only play MNM on Mondays.

Maybe, just maybe it is a dead horse.

You mouth off in the forum much more than you fight in the game.  Perhaps if you were to reverse that trend things might look up!  Yes, I expect some glib comment with no basis in truth to follow, after all, sir, that is the sum of you.

After I go get proded and poked by the Doc today

I plan to get some much needed flying/practice in before December 7th....

So will  be seeing y'all in-game more often in the days/nights/weeks to come...have fun shooting me down because lately I feel like I've lost most of my skillz I might once have had....you lose it if you don't use it, is so true...

Cheers

Would love to run MNM on a daily basis. Problem is people would stop coming after awhile and it would die.
My way keeps them coming back!!

Hey TequilaChaser. This game and its predecessors have been my hobby for almost 20 years.

Urging the few forum prowlers into playing won't change the situation. Most of them are players anyways.

At this point the best we can hope for is that someone buys the game off HT, makes it free to play with paid cosmetics/skins/pilots and buildable + destructable buildings/airfields/etc and starts advertising on youtubers channels or other popular media channels to get the game back in the social consiousness. Even then there is no garuntee that the game will be filled with players again.

AAIK, I've  been playing these WWII combat flight sims starting online back around mid 1992, of and on until 94 when I went full time.....ive played and alpha/beta tested most of them and basically seen it all from Front to back and inside out.....

I doubt Dale will ever sell aces high, and outside of the spin-off series WarOnline.com/Pacific (and other Theatres of operations to come), he will work developing both until he decides to retire...then who knows he might sell then again he might turn it over to his kid(s)....

Just a reminder for the reason I actually made this thread.....

Most know I'm disabled and have difficulty just playing for 20 to 30 minutes for the past 9+ years....

Everyone have a Blessed Day!

I have been busy. Men have jobs and families.

Continue on constantly complaining. 

I have not been in game the.last 2 weeks. Hopefully I will find some slow time to drop in and play some soon.

Will miss another 38 setup.

Sorry, but when supposedly "veteran" players start immediately complaining on 200, when you out manouver them in a early war plane, that instantly drains any fun out of this. hung my stuff up, wont be back. Enjoy chasing away anyone new, or returning.
