I know this horse has been beaten. I could barely afford the 29.95, yet I did it because I thought the price would drop eventually. It did, but not for me. I fully support trying out new price plans but HTC's big mistake here was to only give the better price to a few people. Why didn't you just drop the price across the board? You still would've had as many if not more new subscribers and all the hardcore players would've loved you for it. You could always jack it back up again if it didn't work out. As such, I quit, really, I'll sign up when I can get the 19.95 price. I don't care how you justify it, all the current HTC subscribers have been slighted, and that's that. I encourage a mass cancellation of subscriptions to show HTC that this is crap and no way to treat the best game community on the web.

AH was worth $30/mo to me on Monday. AH is still worth $30/mo to me today. For me, it's a simple as that...hope to see ya back soon.

hehe poor little MG can't play the best flight sim out there. Sad part is that he's probobly ruining it for other mac users. If I was HTC I'd forget about a mac port just to keep that loser out of here. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

MG, we all went through this kind of stuff when we were kids. Having friends over spending the night and making the prank phone calls, etc. But even then, when I did that, I kinda felt stupid, like I was immature or something.
When I was growing up, my dad taught me to be up front with people, let them know who I was and where I stood on things, not to hide from my problems, etc. It's all a part of being a man.
I know when you read this there will be the childish giggling, etc., a voice in your head saying, "I got them!!" but there will also be that inner part of you that wants to get out, wants to let us know who you are, ready to step forward and be a mature man.
Face it, If you're over the age of 20 this kinda behavior is abnormal, its for boys, girls, not grown MEN. Sure, you can try to justify it in your head, but if you're completely honest with yourself, theres more issues in your life than just these flight simms. Good luck in working them out.
If you need any help, my email is hblair@cybrtyme.com

MG, who the hell cares about Mac's anyway. It is NOT a serious gaming platform, but rather a machine designed for latte drinking homosexuals to do graphic arts of fruity things like trees and stuff. Ya Ya.
Go buy a real machine and use your gay iMac for a doorstop.

Who went beserk MG? I'm assuming thats your handle, correct? you say you added a "little" comment and the place went beserk? As if thats not what you wanted. Why is your profile empty? Take those first little steps toward being a real man, and tell us who you are.
No, not more attempts at insults, but your identity.
thanks,

I'll even go further, Warbirder.
You act like we should be upset to discover HT and Pyro "don't like us".
Why would I care who likes me when I purchase something from them? I don't care when I make any other purchase, it doesn't matter here either.
Their business is their business. Simple. I continue to deal with them, or don't. The personal stuff has nothing to do with it, unless we make personal attacks on one another. Other than that, it is a professional relationship.
This is why I can't understand this betrayal nonsense. What business doesn't adjust prices occasionally, usually upward?
Warbirder, your thinly-veiled vendetta is too self-serving. You aren't going to gain any allies saying "I told ya so". Leave it in the school yard where it belongs.
-
a bit off subject, maybe... but I would love to see AH drop in price a bit. As it is, I am afraid I will have to cancel my subscription after this tour. Is it worth $30 bucks? It's all relative. If you can afford $30, then for sure it is worth it... if ya can't...
I truly hope it drops at some point just so I can come back, because I love the game.

Hey MG aka "Warbirder". When you pay the same price per hour as the PC players do does it bother you that they have 3D available and you don't? Does it get in your craw that you have inferior graphics?
Do you take that with or without vaseline? Bent over or straight up? All this talk about two tier pricing and second class customers at Aces High and yet look at who's really been screwed for a couple of years now. Did you quit WB's?? No? Why not?

Mac is being released simultaneously now. Whereas before, when (ahem) the boys were there, we were constantly playing in an arena alone while the PC boys got the latest toys, and caligula, hoss were trying to figure out the pc-centric code to catch us up. Thanks to some real noodly programming macs never saw parity. But, there are two online flight sim companies who are doing it RIGHT now, and one of them isn't AH.
btw, could you ask the boyz how many planes they can finally end up with? I think its the same as Warbirds 1x - 2x since its the same noodly stuff, eh? Believe it or not, you all are stuck with pre-millenium programming, as pretty as they made it, you're still stuck with the limitations and un-crossplatformability of good ol' multi-gen. I believe once you hit that plane-limit wall, you don't get anymore planes. So choose wisely. Warbirds 2x is stuck. No more planes can be made, all the slots are filled. Warbirds III? Limitless. And.... the darn thing is easily ported to different platforms (because they went into the programming from the bottom up, making it portable from the beginning). Amazing, eh? Some companies have consideration for other platforms. Some just slap-together a buggy (refer to the Bugs Forum) windows-only program and adjust the pricing, at the detriment of current relatively long-time customers to see how many Window-knaves will pay how much for it without considering letting the long-time players/payers know they are being left with the bill. Fools! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) have a nice day, and, hey! don't let that beverage come out your nose

Yes they did drop him, right after they climbed the crazy tree. He must have hit a couple of branches twice on his way down because he's way out there (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
MG, just so you know, there wasn't an infinite amount of diferent planes in WW2 so we'll all run out of planes soon enough.

MG. You didn't answer me.
Please show me a WB's MAC 3D screen shot.
Come on. I know you can do it if you try. Close your eyes and click your heals together three times while saying "There's nothing like 3D. There's nothing like 3D. There's nothing like 3D"
In the meantime, back in reality-ville, the credit card machine goes "chuh-ching" for the all the good little girls and boys of WB's but the blessed PC boyZzz get the goodies yet the widdle po' Macintards have to suffer 2D...for the same price too.
Oh my. How can you stand it? You're being ripped off MG. You're wallet is being raped! How can you lay there prone and take it like a Turkish bath boy?

MG, do you know anything at all? WB's original memory requirement was 4 MB. At that time the planeset was limited to 16 planes. Then we went to a whopping 8 MB and our planeset could go to 32. Then we went to 32 MB and it really didn't matter anymore. What it was it set to when we left? Beats me because it doesn't matter. It's just some variable that reads something like MaxPlanes = X. Need more planes, change the number. It takes all of about 2 seconds.
So MG, take your blathering somewhere else. If there was a Mac version or you bought a PC, for everybody's sake, we wouldn't even let you play so you can't even consider yourself a potential customer. You'll always be outside looking through the fence and wishing.

Want to know when someone has lost an argument? Look for the person who loses his temper- cursing and hurling names.

He did answer it. He said all he had to do was change a variable, and the number of possible planes goes up. It was plain english. It was polysyllabic, but it was clearly written. Read carefully. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

MG You make me embarassed, no ashamed, to be a squadmate of yours. What the hell are you doing on the BBs. I have quietly put up with your drival both on this board and on WBs but enough is enuf!

Bojc,
Don't worry my man. I've met you and several RG's and you guys are with out a doubt one of the classiest squad's I've ever met. Anybody who'd let me use their jacket for a whole weekend and even let me smoke in it is a nice guy in my book.

Way to go HTC!
How about some more silliness... Forget PT boats and naval ops, I want an MP3 player in the dash of my virtual P-47! I used to play MIDI files while flying because they didn't take any cpu cycles to play, but mp3's are a different story and I replaced my midi-friendly sound card for a vortex2. A nice cpu-friendly mp3 decoder integrated into the FE would be great.

I was wondering how this numbnuts could be a Rogue Gryffin. He's obviously not representative of the rest of the squad in any way.

Methinks some people posting should get a life outside flight sims. Why are some taking this so dam seriously? It's a fargin game! If you can't afford it, don't play simple! If you like it and wish to pay whatever amount that satisifies you, do so!

So the big question is.. did Warbirds stop making planes because they hit 128?
As for Warbirder... er MG
(http://www.aros.net/~gmartin/art/portgary1.jpg)
(Yes folks.. he is MG)... well we all know that you won't be able to select the best sim. You'll be forced to support the one that works for you. It will always be that way for the poor lowly mac users of the world.
Damn junior high brats
I find this extremely ironic in light of:

Public Humiliation is a good form of discipline. It makes one think twice about embarrassing himself, and his peer group (squad in this case) in public again. If more were disciplined this way, maybe there would be less people making absolute tulips of themselves the way they do.

I think MG and Cabby share the same twisted branch on a common family tree.

Bojc:
I'm not defending MG's behavior. Or yours either. It's indefensible. Glad i don't work for a person like you. If i disapproved of a squad mate's behavior i would deal with it privately. After all, MG's posts are no more bizarre/insulting than many of the anti-WB's/iEN posts i've read here or at AGW. Including some of yours.
I like the way some of you(like Westy for example, or DejaVu for posting a person's pic for the ultimate in tackiness) think you can lower yourself to stupid insults and feel superior to those you insulted.
Strange logic.
I like both WB's and AH. Whatever floats your boat. I need to decide if want to play AH for the cheap price i was offered. No decision yet.
