I've been monitoring the AGW board and find almost nothing about AWs joining there.
I'm just wondering if WBs picked up any new members? There was one post about the very low numbers in the arenas and suggesting they combine them all into one.
I still have a lot of friends in WBs, but I'm suspecting that the old flight sim is losing altitude (so to speak).

WB's did pick up some AW's. Mostly RR types (weenies?) that fealt they weren't up to adapting to AH.
IMHO this is the place to be if your "serious" about this genra.
AH got the "core" AW community en-mass. I note that when EA.com took AW there was an initial exodus. Now the rest of us have caught up.
Next year when AH has it's CON and we're all drinking together and petting our sheep - they will be without. :)

I was wondering how much the pricing played in the decision making process. AH is more expensive than AW was, but its cheaper than full access Warbirds. Of course, there is the FA in Warbirds that can be played for $9.95/mo (same as AW?) but its more like a RR arena.
Seems pricing would have something to do with it. Of course, personal preference as far as gameplay and management go are also major contributing factors.
Just wondering in anyone came to AH simply because it was cheaper... or if gameplay was more of a factor. The same goes for those that decided on Warbirds.

Cost wasnt a factor to me, I came for gameplay and the fact that HT & Pyro run the show.

It was both for me. I had taken a hiatis from online flying due to work and school for about 2 years and am now just getting back into it. It was Nov 6th when I tried to sign on to EA.com to fly with AW and got the "no knew subscriptions" message since EA had decided to can AW. Boy was I lost. Where do I go to fly? What were the names of those other flight sims? Well needless to say I found my way here and have been happy with what I have found. So far my flight experience has been enjoyable (even though I'm a big flying target right now <g> ) and I plan to stick around for the long-haul.
Quick question I have been dying to ask...
Exile, were you ever part of the CMC in AW?

Well, it may gain altitude here shortly, too--look for announcements within the next two weeks or so. May just change some perceptions...

Seems there is influx of both new players and AW pilots in WB. Seeing and heard about AW pilots in the WB3 arenas (which are all accessable with the 9 bucks plan, not limited to easymode arenas), and some in the WB2 areas. Takes time for the new people to find AGW of course, they'll first naturally see the iEN boards.
-
WB3 arenas are technically "free"... for now. That won't be the case for much longer.

Glad to see its actually you Exile :D
Been trying to track down the CMC here with little success so far but I will continue to persist. :)
-
I tried WB for a month, but found it too mushy in the flight model (while AH is too crisp, WB errors much farther IMHO). I was also not thrilled with it visually, AH just seems much more pollished.
May just be what Im used too, but comming from AW to AH, I didnt get the same "eh" feeling I get from WB.
-
I know of no AW's personaly who switched to WB. 90% of the guys I know ended up here, 5% went to WWIIOL, and 5% just quit.
-
wb3 isnt free... its 10 bucks month
apples to apples comparison
wb3 = 10 bucks a month.
ah = 15 bucks a month
old wb isnt worth extra full service plan of payin anither 15 bucks month.
everything on net will be at 10 bucks sooner or later but ah is still better even bein more expensive
-
Not really checksix... Its a nitpick... but WBs 3 is free with any IEN account.... while in beta. It will cost more soon.

been lurking a little on AGW.. seems that they have a bunch of arenas but... they insist on the silly and boring "axis vs Allied" thing.. they are complaining mightily about lack of numbers in the arenas. Seems all of the FR arenas combined have about half the numbers we are experiancing lately. They are trying to "force" the RR guys into the "real" arenas but not having much luck.
Allied vs axis and RPS in WB has created one huge arena tho... It is called Aces High.

"Allied vs axis and RPS in WB has created one huge arena tho... It is called Aces High."
Actually...if they hadnt created Axis vs Allied, I would have quit WB then and gone completly to AH :)
Daff

actually daff... I would wish that anyone including yourself that likes the one dimensional, simplistic "axis vs allied" stay in WB. I think that WB is a good place for the enemies of fun to be. It is difficult enough to battle them here without them getting re-enforcements.
maybe you would get those numbers up if you changed the icon settings? No? try a few more leathiality changes?

Hell no - It's RARE I can re-use a good bit.
Cold will be best....

I said *our* sheep. As in yours and mine - not WB's. We'll see who has more sheep when the CON rolls around though...
Mbaaaa!

actually i have seen a large influx of new players in WB lately. Could be AWers or not don't really care, just as long as there is new vict... um players I am ok with that. As far as axis vs. allies IMO these days thats what it should be anyway and early war rides never hurt. AH is good and so is WB as far as the mushy feeling in WB that has much much more to do with stick settings than actual FM i find. Once I adjusted it felt much crisper.
