AcesHigh - HiTech Creations became 25 years old?
How did we miss such a milestone without some kind of party, cake and enough Cragganmore to sink the Bismark!?
Happy Belated Birthday!

I believe it was last October. Could be wrong

I think Anml is right and it's over 26 if you include the open beta. According to Wikipedia it's May 8, 2000. Again that does not count the open beta nor the open beta forum. Wikipedia has been known to get dates wrong specially with games.

I think the open beta started in Sept or Oct 1999 and the game went live April or May 2000.
I beta tested AH and was on the Beta Forums. I didn't jump into the current AH forums until oct 2000 I didn't go full subscriber until the game dropped down to 14.99 thanks to the Damned and my Squads at the time (33rd Strike Group and ACCS) moved over from what was left of Air Warrior III/ME. Both squads died and Whels Devi and Myself jumped over to the Damned somewhere around 2002-2003.

You sure that wasn't the 20th? After a decade or two it all starts to blend together.

Anniversaries based on our solar cycles can bring remembrance but we aren't obligated to them nor limited by them.

Going by the scores page....
Beta was August 1999 - January 2000
On the HTC "About us" web page it says that HTC was founded in 1999.
So the company may have started before then but the beta is the first instance of the game.
So using the beta as the start that would mean that August 2024 was the 25th anniversary which does follow for if you divide the 304 tours (which havent been reset yet :devil ) by 12 you get 25 and change. So the 26th anniversary is in August a short 2 months away.

Will be 43 years in 2 weeks. Of course I don't spout nonsense like that at home. ;)

I seemed to remember it was sometime in Aug of '99 when I first played the beta.
The early years were an amazing ride.

Not twice. ;)

I first played the beta in '99, don't recall the month.
