Just curious but If you are an already paying subscriber like me and cannot get into the MA do you get a discounted rate for that month. I clicked on th MA when it read 700/700 and my pc blasted to desktop. I wonder if there is a way of the login attempt to be recorded for future discount. I think that it only be fair to people who have been longtime subscribers, and have to sit out for someone getting a free ride due to a marketing strategy.

Would you really want a .49 cent refund?
-
A penny saved is a penny earned.
-
hell yes! for principal, and fyi I bought most of my home theater with saved change...
I should of added it was a process of 5 years to do so.
-
When the arena was full the other night, I just hopped into the CT arena for a bit until I was able to get into the MA.
ack-ack

I used to squeak when there was only 30 players online as I was up late night on weekends because I have worked graveyard for years.
Now that I claim I am a long term subscriber like Pollock, I see how good this 700/700 arena is.
But wait. I'm now convinced on the refund deal. I could buy another bigscreen? And I haven't even checked the couch.
Cheezy Poofs and change?
Sweet.

Well, in all seriousness ... it is rather unfortunate that paying accounts cannot gain access to the game due to the influx of free accounts HTC has provided. Maybe they gave out too many? I dunno. Is a refund in order? I dunno, dont think so - but perhaps something is.

Suck it up and show a little patience. The free promotion will be over soon and every thing will be back to normal and we'll all start whining about how we miss the influx of seal cubs to bash around. Heck I actually watched some TV and read a book on raising sheep tonight when the arena was too crowded for me.

Are you looking for a new girlfriend or something? :D
jk ;)

Free trials now? No wonder I've been getting such easy kills during prime time US East coast. And here I thought I was a Yak master or something.

That $0.49 can buy you some good porno if you give it a month or so to add up.:rolleyes:

As one who suffered the loss of AW, I think I can speak with some authority. It's in all our interests (well, in yours since I recently quit AH) that HTC gains many new customers and keeps them. I doubt many of the elite here can afford to finance HT on their own... he's gotta keep that plane flying. Were I you, though I guess I'm not any longer, I would encourage the new players and do all I could to help them. You best hope HTC is really successful in their business promotions... you stand to benefit as much as HiTech... ummm, well, almost =o)

Oh no, Grizzly! Really sorry to hear that, and hope you come back soon! :eek:
-
So, you don't want us to come back and keep Hitech in business, so you can end up looking for another game, is that what you're saying?
I thank you for allowing me to sample "your" game
I'll give it back to yo in a few days, in the meantime, try Prozac

Pollock said it was principle, and I agree. "Why should I pay for a product I cant even play, while some guy who is here for 2-weeks for free gets in when he wants to". Now how you would solve this problem to let everyone who pays and 2weekers online I have no idea...obviously multiple arenas wont work because that just simply splits it up and you now have 2 full arenas. Yeah you can tell someone to go to the CT...but for some the CT isnt just their cup of tea.
Yes it is only until March 15. Still what happens when we actually *have* 700 paying players. Move the limit up to 1000? Sorry but the server seems to conk out above 400...just making things worse.
-
Yes, I am one of the people with the free trial until March 15, and I am very grateful for HTC for providing this. The only thing that I could suggest would be for HTC to spread out the trial so only about 10-20 of the non-payers would be having their trial at a time, not a whole 200-300
-
sry but thats BS!!!
you pay to play but cant log on?
sounds to me like HTC needs to take some of the profite and invest in a bigger server.
-
You can still lg on, just not in the MA. Go to the CT or the TA and practice. BTW what was the lag like last night with 700 players? I was on lastnight but it wasn't till after 730pm left coast time. (notice the clever slam on california, I hate this state.)
-
Doh, happened to me too, couldnt get in
Be nice if the system CTD'd on a non paying user when a paying one was at the door trying to log on
Its just baffling that with max'd servers and many subscribers free memberships to a congested server are being given away, making it harder for the subscribers to get in....but hey, call me kooky....
-
Sorry but I pay. I should be able tp play in what ever arena I want. Let the 2 we
ek wonders get 2nd choice.
andyes, my $0.49 should get me into the arena of my choice )
-
Hey pzvg!
I remember you from the beta/early tour days!
Good to see you in here again!
Gawd...the rest of you guys need to seriously get a life, or at least stop whining like little school girls!
Unless Mathman pops in, then....well, he's just the same old Math....not the New Math.
Or Batdog...he's full up on CPP.

I am certainly not impressed with not getting in when I try. Give me a break with this $0.49 discount crap. I pay to use this game on my 'spare time'. I consider my time valuable, and 'spare time' more so.
You cheerleaders, stuff you pom poms. If this is going to become 'service only when available', I expect the price to nosedive faster than a P-38 on a jabo run. We put up with being paying beta testers. We put up with the bugs and the lags, this is just too much.

Multiple Whines Have Been Recorded...

I m just taking a well needed break from AH. Last week or so, been bad lag so I pop in now again at late hours in the night. When I do log on kills seem to come easier and numbers little higher at night now than before. Not playing AH for 7 hours a day this week has gotten lots of projects around the house done lol. WOW you guys said MA been maxed at 700, sure hope you werent on uterus map:D
