Title: Typical Number Of Players?
Post by: luzr on October 16, 2002, 07:08:16 PM

I'm still flying WB, but there's almost never more than 50 people in any arena (WWII usually).  I'm thinking of making the switch to AH.

I miss the days of 200+ people - granted it was usually about 120 but 200 wasn't that unusual as I recall.

So, in AH - how many people are on at a given time and how many are flying airplanes, vs driving ships or tanks vs riding as gunners?

I guess I'd also need a more dweeb-o-centric pricing scheme, as parenting doesn't allow me more than 5 or 6 hours a month...

Peak hours have been breaking 500players, and increasing.

The exact opposite, early in the morning, the count drops to about 75 or so.

Peak weekend times creeps over 500 now.

Weeknights, offpeak, I believe its about 1am-5am EST, starts at around 200-250 and drops to about 70 lowest. Which is simply amazing, in the old days it used to drop under 10 in WB and AH by about 4am EST.

Most are flying planes.
Flying will feel different to you.
The community will be different.
You'll be a newbie all over again.
You may not like the experience.

But probably you'll have more fun ;)
there is a 2-week option for you to try it out.
